This is the first Ravage book I didn’t enjoy. I couldn’t wait to finish it and I almost gave up at least twice. I didn’t feel their connection. At all. When I started reading this one, I felt like I’d read it before. It wasn’t until I went back and read the summary of the first book that I realized Leah is the girl who went to the rally to meet up with someone she met online in Cooper’s book. Maybe too much time had passed between books. Anyway, I’m relieved to be done with this one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It had me captivated from beginning to end. This story focuses on Leah and Green. Leah who you met in previous stories has to overcome hurdles and Green is the ravage guy who will stand by her side to help her overcome them.

First Impressions
Bound by Affliction is the fourth installment in the "Ravage MC Bound" And is like the 10th installment of the total Ravage MC world. I find that these books are just fun and entertaining MC romances. There isn't too much that I invest in too much with these, but they are just wild and crazy at times haha I will be honest that I could do without the princess character wanting to train all the women in kick ass training. It just gets old to be honest especially since she is my least favorite character, however, despite my issues with some aspects I tend to see in multiple books, the romances themselves are just so wonderful to read. And I love how each story is just a bit different than the previous.

Summary
Ty "Green" Burm is part of the Ravage MC but when he falls in love with Leah, and they exchange letters he knows that he will do anything for her. Then we have our heroine, who made a bad mistake in dating, and ended up in a situation that almost cost herself and her best friend their lives. Even though she wasn't killed, she was severely rape and scarred by their abuse and is recovering. She and Ty are learning what it means to be together and in a relationship. But along the way they will find that not all of their enemies are gone like they thought, and they will have to rebuild the trust that is so vital to them moving forward into any hope of a happy ever after.

What I Loved
I really enjoyed how their story evolved here. I do love a story with this type of conflict and seeing healing happen after abuse is being suffered. And Ryan Michele really handles the character development so well. I really was intrigued to see how this would be developed and how they would reach their HEA. There are some conflicts in and out of the relationship and I was so curious to see it being implemented. I had a blast with the fact that they shared love letters though. That was so intriguing. We also get some fascinating fun times with the MC and I enjoyed some of the aspects especially with Cooper and Bristyl.

What I Struggled With
Not too much I struggled with, but after the abuse she had suffered and she was still healing, Princess was all yeah lets teach you self defense because it can't wait lol like seriously. *sigh* if I could remove the princess character from these books....I would LOL

Narration
It wasn't a horrible narration, but not my favorite from this author though. I miss Joe Arden so badly.

Overall View
Bound By Affliction is a endearing read that tackles some serious issues while at the same time delivering such true emotion and warm romance feels to satify any romance reader.
