Water Bound by Christine Feehan
5.0
4.5 Stars I'm rounding up for the depiction of autism in this book.
I enjoyed this story even though it was a little slow at times. This story really is all about Rikki and how she filters her world. I loved how strong the depiction of autism is in this novel. There was so much to love about Rikki and how she has learned to function in a world that doesn't always make it easy for someone different. She's found herself a niche and carved out a perfect little nest for herself with her adoptive sisters. The arrival of Lev in her carefully orchestrated world throws everything into chaos, but also provides the opportunity to find the answers she's never gotten about her own past.
I liked Rikki and Lev together. Sure it's a bit insta-lovey but I accept that more in my paranormal stories than in any other. Lev is in a lot of ways your stereotypical alpha male, but I did love how he worked his life around Rikki's needs. He always worked things with a great balance between accepting the parts about Rikki that were always going to be a little different and also helping to push her boundaries and expand the world she could function in.
I liked being back in Sea Haven and look forward to more in the series. If there was one downside in this story it was not getting to see Lev's reunion with his brother and I do hope we get to see that in the future.
