Book Review

The entire time I was reading 'Bound', I couldn't believe it was the final book in the series. I knew it had to end, eventually, but I really wasn't ready. Not even close. The fact that the author did a vignette of each of the couples from the first three books right at the beginning, emphasized to me that this book was going to showcase the family I had come to love, all of them, showing what it meant to be bound to a family of your choosing.

"Some think it’s how much fun you have, your net worth, or the notches on your bedpost that define a good life. I learned at a young age that while all of those things make life both more interesting and exciting, it’s how much you are loved that really matters."

My heart was in my throat - mostly for Tek - because I lack patience, and I knew the waiting around to get the intel was killing him. Blake, Ty, Tackett, Micah, Max, and Aiden were all with him at the club, but it was Blake who ran the show. Blake knew about kidnappings after his Eli had been taken, so it was Blake who kept Tek from going out of his mind with worry. Tackett tracked the phone number Rocco called from, found by using his years of computer experience, and Blake got a friend to do surveillance to locate exactly where Jamie was being held. I was on pins and needles. Seriously.

Tek, Blake, Tackett, and Max got Jamie rescued, and now it's time for Tek and Jamie to figure out what they're going to do. The threat of Rocco is gone, but Tek allowed his first lieutenant to return to the club. All Tek and Jamie want is to be left alone, do their jobs, love each other, and be done with the motorcycle club and not have to rat anybody out to the Feds. It's a tall order and it's going to take both of them, and their friends, to figure it out.

"Sometimes living hurts worse than death."

A fabulous end to what has been, indisputably, one of the BEST series I've ever read. Jo, you did the characters and the series proud with this finale. I loved the ending, and every single page that preceded it. Now, I'll be looking forward to what you'll be bringing me next.
