A Bound Heart

I wrote a real review for this on a blog awhile back, but never reviewed it on GR. I think I gave it three stars at that point. However, every time I think of this “hero” he makes me more annoyed. His infidelity to his first wife was infuriating (emotional and directly undermining her with the servants, even though it wasn't physical) and somehow it was excused because he loved the heroine all along? Color me disgusted.

She should have picked another guy. She's got three lapping at her heels in this book...surely there's a fourth, better guy in the wings who'd want her too....

The end never justifies the means. And a husband isn't justified in liking another woman better than the wife he vowed to love no matter how little he likes her. If he can't live with her then he should seek a divorce before thinking romantically of another woman. But it's clear his only use for his wife was for her money and for sex. I couldn't dredge up any sympathy for him.

Thanks to the publisher for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required.
