Jacqueline's Reads's Reviews > Bound by Vengeance

5 (I waited long enough) Stars

When I first discovered Cora Reilly, I read her whole series in a few days. Yup, I binged read like a mad woman, so you can see that I was devastated that Bound by Vengeance took over a year to write.

I’m not saying I can’t wait a year to read a book, I’ve done it lots of times, but it was really sad when the author dropped the face of the earth kind of went MIA.

I wasn’t mad, just highly disappointed, but I understand stuff happens in life.

Moving on to the reviews:

I’ve read the reviews, I was REALLY surprised when I saw so many low rating reviews. I will say this. I’m not a grammar teacher, I don’t even think my reviews are written grammatically correct BUT when it kind of distracts you from reading, it’s a bit annoying. As you can see I didn’t take off any stars for this.

I am assuming the author is going to correct this, because the grammar is kind of bad. I mean, she goes from third POV to first POV A LOT in the book. Sometimes the Hero and Heroine is switched back and forth. If this book was written maybe a few months after the previous book, I wouldn’t have said anything.

BUT WHEN YOU HAVE WAITED OVER A YEAR FOR THIS BOOK, THEN IT SHOULD BE edited properly. Just my two cents.

Now that is done and over, I really liked this book. I liked Growl and I liked Cara. I liked that Cara is a society princess. She’s like most of the girls in this world is betrothed and is about to get married, but something happens and …

Cara is given to Growl as a punishment. And Growl can do whatever he wants with her.

Growl is called Growl because of his ugly scar on his neck and he’s a monster. A lot of reviewers complain about him being too nice to Cara and I sometimes feel like we read so many of these romance books, we just want the Hero force himself on the girl and slap her around.

I really liked the dynamic and relationship between the two. I didn’t find it boring at all. I liked them playing “house” and I liked reading about Growl’s past and Cara’s need to save her mother and sister.

I guess everything that annoyed the reviewers (besides the grammar errors) I disagreed. I felt like this book was almost everything I hoped for and I still hope this series never ends.

I will say this (view spoiler)[They never used a condom and since Cara is a Virgin, I doubt she was on birth control. I was waiting for her to get pregnant, but that never happened. I felt like if the author had beta readers, they would have caught this. Also, it was kind of gross that Growl fucked a prostitute without a condom too. I hope Cara doesn’t have STD’s (hide spoiler)]
