Simon Weatherly collects children's books as a hobby but
professionally he's a conservator at the British Museum.
While every now and then Simon will put an ad in one of the
scholarly journals for the editions he is looking for, he is
highly surprised when he gets a knock on the door one
night. On the other side of the door is a handsome, edgy
guy with a book for sale. Chris Ross is a handyman who is
learning to be a carpenter. After he is cheated out of
payment for his last job, that just happened to be for his
now ex-lover, Chris believes he knows the way to exact
revenge and get his money. Now if he can just get Simon to
buy the book.
Just one look tells Simon where the book came from. A
few more questions to Chris also tells Simon they have the
book's owner in common as a self-centered and extremely
selfish ex-lover. Simon decides to buy the book from
Chris. After a very unsatisfactory call to said owner, the
book is returned and Simon believes it is done with. That
is until Chris shows up on this doorstep one night with
attitude to spare. One hot and erotic discussion later,
Simon and Chris decide upon a way to break even - a weekend
together. But when it arrives what are the chances that it
will end as promising as it begins?
Bound Together brings two strong willed men
together in a relationship that leads to discoveries for
both of them. Simon is a quiet man who does his job and
collects his books without making any huge waves. Chris has
no problems getting in your face if he thinks he needs to,
but he is very serious about his carpentry work. Listening
while these two tried to figure out a way to be together and
yet still be themselves was an interesting journey. I
enjoyed listening to their journey of discovery that became
very emotional at times.
I will admit that Bound Together was
the first audio book I have ever reviewed. While doing so
I discovered just how much the author's detail along with
the narrator's voice meant to the details of the book. In
this case, the narrator's voice was perfect for Chris and
Simon while Jane Davitt created a book that engages the
reader's attention. Bound
Together will take you wonderfully along the highs
and lows that happen during the first stage of a
relationship. |
