Bound Forever by Hanna Peach is the exciting conclusion to Bound by Lies. Caden and Kitten (I still cringe with that name) are on the run, hiding from Jacob, the man who started all this madness. At the end of book one, Kitten learns that Caden is an undercover cop, working to bring down Jacob’s organization, that he was using her. Or was he? She thinks he was so that’s all that matters in her eyes. Caden has secrets, lots of secrets and Kitten plans to uncover them all.

So I was pleasantly surprised with this book. If you read my review of book one, than you know I was on the fence. In fact until I hit almost mid-way through the book, I was ready to give up. I thought it was horrible and just some terrible excuse to write an erotica novel. And that is what this series is, but it is more than just that. The characters are real and the story behind them is what is this series saving grace.

Kitten (which I’m sorry I hate that he calls her Kitten, so from here on out I will refer to her as MC) is a very broken character. She was sexually abused by her first love, Jacob, and until she realized that what he did to her was wrong she just accepted it. She hates herself for ever loving him and she’s been in hiding for three years, changing her name and address as often as you would change clothes. She keeps no cell phone, no bank account, nothing that could lead people to her. Until she met Caden, she was fine with this existence. Now she wants more, she wants a shot at having a normal life again. And hell, she deserves it after everything that has happened to her.

Caden is also a very broken character. In book one he is portrayed as a strong, mysterious man, but in this book, the author allows glimpses of his past. And his strength and mystery slips slowly away. Caden is just as broken if not more so than MC. He’s a man that has had everything he’s ever loved taken….no I need a stronger word here….ripped from him. And well he kinda goes off the deep end in this book. MC and the reader get a chance to see what this man is all about. And quite frankly, it brought me to tears.

The plot focuses on how Caden and MC are tied together by Jacob and the relationship between Caden and MC. It’s full of suspense, tears, and some romance as well. Don’t be put-off by the erotica label on this book. There are some steamy scenes, but they are easily overshadowed by the main plot and suspense. Overall if you enjoy a quick read, full of romance and suspense, then I believe you will enjoy this book.
