Bound to Him by Ava March Review

Bound to Him
by Ava March

Lord Vincent Prescot’s life couldn’t be better. Thriving investments, well-respected by his peers, and mind blowing sex with a man who submits to his every desire -- what more could he want?

Lord Oliver Marsden should be more than happy with his life. He’s been in love with Vincent for over a decade and six months ago the impossible happened and they became lovers. But since then, nothing has changed. More specifically, Vincent hasn’t changed. Oliver has tried to be patient -- it took a lot for Vincent to accept the fact he preferred men. But what felt like a tiny distance between them six months ago now feels like an ever-widening chasm. Why can’t Vincent stay the night? Is it too much to ask for Vincent to call him Oliver and not Marsden? He knows Vincent cares for him, but does Vincent love him?

Then Vincent’s father asks him for a favor -- one that involves marriage. If Vincent agrees, he’ll have the respect he’s craved from his father his entire life but he could lose Oliver. Nor does Oliver make the decision easy. To keep Oliver, he’ll have to do more than deny his father. He’ll have to give Oliver his heart.Synopsis from Amazon.com

Review by Jasmine
5/5 Whips in the Backseat


Book one was great - Bound by Deception.  How can I not enjoy revisiting Oliver and Vincent?  The book is well written, the characters trials are just as dramatic and tension filled as when we first meet the boys, all in all it is a pleasure to revisit a favorite couple. 

Okay that being said here is the issue I have run into, M/M historicals face an even greater challenge in suspending my disbelief to offer the Happily Ever After.  The boys face a culture and time not open to out and out homosexual relationships.  So I worry about them.  

What do they face when the book ends?  What life will bring their way concerns me, more then I worry about other couples at the end of a book.  This sequel to Oliver and Vincent's story kinda reinforces this fear.  There are still things out there to throw a bump in the road.  Though I suppose no bump no story and then I really would have missed out as a reader.

The tension is high, the emotion gripping, the story riveting.  I was relieved to check up on two favorite characters.  Read this one?  I say, Yes, Yes, Yes!  I feel like the boys are doing well and the second peek into their Romance was a pleasure.   So boys and girls to reading and finding HEA.
