review 1: Meredith Duran is quickly excelling to the top of my 'favorite author' list, where my snobbish taste only allows few to reside. This is the 2nd story I've read of hers and equally enjoyed to the point of not being able to put it down! My only complaint is the cover of this book. Do you know how bad it is to hold this half-naked man in my hands while I'm at work? Yet, how else am I to finish it now that i'm addicted to finding out what happens next?Bound by Your Touch has a who-done-it mystery feel over false accusations against our heroine and her family. Maybe I didn't want to see it, but I truly didn't see the ending either. It's what kept me flipping. What new detail would Ms. Duran provide now? What does it mean?There are two things that set Ms. Duran apart from histor... moreical romance authors: 1- the depth of her characters. Rarely do we read a historical romance novel (common, most are light and silly) with such deep complex and realness to them. 2- her stories are a bit darker than other authors. She writes about the not-so-beautiful aspect that was within Regency England as well. She walks a fine line between providing details we hate to admit are true but do without being overly vulgar and trying to purposely shock the reader. And for these two facts, I say Bravo and I must go buy & read the next!
review 2: 3.5/5. Strangely uninvolved book for me despite its potentially emotive content. Spinster bluestocking heroine, with past disappointment in love, tried to save her beloved Egyptian expert father's reputation. She was joined reluctantly by the even more emotionally messed up viscount hero, who had a less than loving relationship with his own papa. Too much baggage was brought along for the ride by both. The writing sometimes reflected too well the utter chaos and confusion in their minds and hearts, leaving me rather perplexed and lost at times. The motivations of the characters, their ids if you like, were rather obscured at times or inconsistent. One example - the heroine and her sister's faithless husband had a brief secret moment of pashing (not so much passion) and yet she later proceeded to moralise the same sister when the latter was about to embark on an extramarital dalliance. I just couldn't get a good feel for any of the characters. A pity as there were moments of brilliance and quotable quotes in there. less
