reneescarted 's review for:
Water Bound
by Christine Feehan
I loved the previous series which is why this one made it on my TBR list. I had to start this book twice before I managed to finish it, and well... I enjoyed the story, don't get me wrong, love the found family, and of course there's the necessary Russian bad boy who's just going to change but he's super handsome and hot so whatever he did in the past shouldn't matter. Eh. I enjoyed Rikki and that she was not your round-of-the-mill heroine, although by the end I really wondered if she was written true to someone who is on the autism spectrum, it just didn't seem to matter. Like when Lev is worried about how she's going to react to touch but she just melts away at the first touch and has hot monkey sex any time of the day. Mind you, I'm no expert on autism, I just wondered if at some point this was rather a tool to make Rikki interesting than something that actually appeared in her character.
I do agree with what lots of people said before me, so many things are just repetitive. Yes, we get it, Rikki is weird, she suffers from guilt, etc. Lev is dangerous and tortured and whatever. Yes we also get all the pulsing things and the velvety things and I swear I could write a dictionary of the synonyms for all the human private body parts from this book alone. I think I'm just getting too old for erotic novel sex scenes because all I can think about is a list of things that are just not realistic but I imagine I can give this rant at every single erotically inclined novel I read because that's the genre. Oh well.
Anyway, nice little story and honestly would've given it 4 stars but then read the other reviews and realized they were right about things being dragged out too much and being repetitive so for that I deducted a star. But still an enjoyable read.
