REVIEW:
There is no denying the fact that I am a huge fan of Miss Peterson’s writing as I am also of this wonderful series. So I was very excited to finally read this latest (and last) installment.
Bound starts of with a bang, a wonderful insight in the lives of all the couples leading up to how they find out the news about Jaime’s disappearance. I have to say for me this was one of the best parts of the book. The way Miss Peterson rounded things up and showed us a peek in the life of the couples, was truly fabulous.
This follows in the rest of the book The friendship and family they created is soothing to a person’s soul. The way that was portrayed was a very wonderful and left me with a comfortable feeling.
But…yes, there’s a but…this story is about Tek and Jaime and while I love them together and gladly read about that, I was surprised with the timeline of this story. Jaime being saved is pretty early in plotline and for me came unexpectedly, because it felt like ok what now? What follows is a lot of trying to work out issues and a lot of sex. Miss Jo sure knows how to write a good sex/love scene but for me there was definitely something missing. On a personal note I like, especially in a monogamous relationship, that there is no condom interruption and for some reason I couldn’t stop noticing the yes condom, no condom scenes, also because they have been together for a long time, again as I said a personal note but something that really distracted me for a reason.
One of the best thing in this complete series is the different ways of looking at the BDSM lifestyle. Where Tek and Jaime do not live the specific lifestyle but are very connected to the club obviously, we get a nice look into the rope-play they both do like to make use of on occasion. The insight is especially interesting after Jaime’s kidnapping they both seem to struggle with the trauma that comes with this. SJD Peterson is a master in pointing out the various ways of the different couples and their approach to the lifestyle.
As I mentioned before I loved the interaction with all the former couples as we see the family they’ve created which all comes down to a very satisfying, comfortable round-up in the end of this book. Like in Roped, there are little pieces from Tek at each chapter and the last one, lets just say it was that piece that got me choked up. That decided for me together with the ending to bump up the rating by a half because it was fitting and well thought out Overall I can only highly recommend this series because each book has its own unique story, yet makes a connection in very different ways.
