BOOKWORM REVIEW: Bound by Desire by A.J. Wyatt


RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥

I am glad that Hunter and Olivia got their story. These two are often overlooked in their circle because of how low-key they are compared to their friends. However, we find that there is more depth to these two than we thought from Neal and Amelia's trilogy.

Adjusting to his new role as Consigliere, Hunter is juggling his responsibilities to the Family with his own wants. And what he wants is Olivia. But how could he -- in good conscience -- subject her to a life with a Made Man?

Olivia is also struggling with her attraction to Hunter. She is frustrated that he keeps her at arm's length even though it is not like she could cut off her friends who are well-embedded into the Family way of life. On top of that, she is being courted by the Las Vegas Don and she is also balancing all of this with family -- with the lowcase f -- problems.

I actually enjoyed that this read was somewhat low angst compared to the first three books. It focused more on Hunter and Olivia while moving things along with the larger picture of this Cosa Nostra world. This was a nice break as we prepare for Killian and Liz's story, and we know how much of a hot mess those two are.

ABOUT THE BOOK

When love threatens to unravel everything, do you take a leap or do you turn the other way?

Hunter
The first time I saw her, I knew she’d be important. I’m the right-hand man to the Godfather of New York City, the voice of reason in the Underworld. Yet, reason ceases to exist when it comes to Olivia Thompson.
There is no right or wrong, there is only her.

Olivia
I’ve been living my entire life a specific way - safe.
It all started falling apart the moment I met him, when his gray eyes captured mine across a room, I knew everything would go to hell.
There was just no way to know how literal that would be.
He’s a man from the Underworld of New York, someone who is bound to me, to my past, in ways I could never have anticipated.

Will the ties that bind us bring us closer together or ruin us completely?
