Description:
The Sea Haven series comes to a climactic end as the mysterious man from Blythe Daniels’ past re-enters her life
For five years, Viktor Prakenskii has put his life on hold in order to take down the world’s most feared motorcycle club from the inside. But carrying out the insane violence and seeing the club’s exploitation of the innocent has brought his traumatic past roaring back. And there’s only one cure: to see the wife he left behind…
Blythe Daniels thought she’d never see Viktor again after he murdered her stepfather and left without a word. She rebuilt her life without him, becoming a personal trainer and physical therapist…becoming strong enough for others to lean on. But when Viktor comes back to Sea Haven, he’ll make Blythe question everything she thought she knew about good and evil—and the dark desires of the heart…
Review:
Bound Together by Christine Feehan is the 6th and final book in her Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart series. Viktor Prakenskii is the final brother that is destined to meet his mate in Sea Haven. Ilya was the one who started it all in the Drake Sisters series, and all his brothers have since followed meeting their mates in Sisters of the Heart. Blythe Daniels is the last woman to find her happiness, but 5 years ago, she married a man who disappeared after killing her evil step father, and never heard from again.
Viktor has had the same violent and harsh upbringing his brothers had, and is the most lethal, as well as their leader. Viktor has been working undercover for the evil and powerful Evan Gratsos (we remember him from the Drake Sisters). Viktor has his own motorcycle gang (Torpedo Ink) , who grew up together at the school, where they were abused sexually and emotionally, then trained to be assassins. But Viktor is a good guy, even if he is hard and dangerous; he and his team fight to save the children against the pedophiles. They do all they can to save them and get them out of the clutches of Even and his Swords Gang. Then Viktor finds out that Evan is planning to go to Sea Haven and kill Jackson and Elle. Viktor, under the guise of checking out the place for Evan, then goes back to Sea Haven, where Blythe lives to help alert Jackson and his brothers of the upcoming attack.
When Blythe sees Viktor, she is shocked, and even more so when Viktor proves to her that she is his wife. She never believed she was married; thinking since he left without a word, the marriage was a ruse. Viktor was a loose cannon, as he was determined to win back Blythe and convince her that she belongs to him. There was also an issue where he tells Blythe that he left her messages both to her and his brothers to watch over her. No one ever received these messages. Viktor brought half of his team, also undercover working for Evan’s gang. I really did like adopted family, which when all come together would be 18, which include two girls; all having survived horrific childhoods and all totally devoted and loyal to Viktor. Blythe, who is an empath, knows in a short time, despite her anger and distrust, that she still loves Viktor. It was an emotional and difficult meeting when Viktor comes face to face with his birth brothers whom he has not seen for many many years or have never seen.
At the start, when Viktor was very demanding to Blythe, even though he had not talked to her in 5 years, I was kind of not liking him too much. But that changed quickly, as their romance heated up and he was so loving to her. Viktor always told his team that Blythe would be the one who would help them see the good of life and teach them how to enjoy and trust. With all that pressure, by the time we get to the end, you can tell she was going to be there for them.
This was a wonderful story throughout the book, with many different elements within; we worried, we laughed, we became emotional or tense and even sad. We got to see Blythe and Viktor rekindle their second chance romance; we learned about the atrocious life Viktor and the young men and girls, who have become lethal, but take care of each other, as well as those who are being mistreated; the tense suspense as they prepare for the attack; the teaming of all our favorites from both Drake Sisters and Sisters of the Heart (Sea Haven) to fight the enemy, and healing that needs to be done for some of the children they bring home to Sea Haven. This was such an exciting, emotional and sexual read, and at the same time, some humor from Viktor’s men when they always managed to enter Blythe’s room at the inappropriate time. I loved Bound Together and hope that Christine will continue to show us what happens to all of the men and women of Torpedo Ink. Thank you Christine Feehan for this wonderful fantastic finale of this series.
