Publisher's summary

Lethally sexy undercover agent Stefan Prakenskii knows a thousand ways to kill a man-and twice as many ways to pleasure a woman. So he's looking forward to his new mission: arrive in the coastal town of Sea Haven and insinuate himself in the life of Judith Henderson, an ethereal beauty with ties to the crime lord he's determined to trap...

Critic reviews

“The fiery combination of Prakenskii brothers and elemental sisters has made this series one that never disappoints. Pure Feehan magic!” (RT Book Reviews)

Bravo! Beautifully done!

Narrator did a wonderful job on all characters! Both men and women had their own distinctive tones. This is a book that is part of a series, it's not a stand alone! I recommend Christine Feehan, she does a wonderful job on all of the books I have read of hers.

Love Christine Feehan

Another great love/suspense journey. Love this family and how they came together. Great job building suspense.

Why the new narrator

Would you try another book from Christine Feehan and/or Don Harvey?

Christine - yesDon - no

Would you recommend Spirit Bound to your friends? Why or why not?

Not the audio book

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The voice was not right for this series. All the guys sounded alike and the girls sounded like guys. When Stefan was talking to Judith I couldn't tell who was who. Additionally, the Russian accent was missing all together. Should have used same narrator from the Drake series to continue the Sea Haven series. I waited for this one and I was soooooo disappointed!!

What would have made this romance irresistible?

A better narrator

Good story, would have been better with less sex.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The sex was over done/used... detracted from the plot.

Do you think Spirit Bound needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Of course, there are more sisters... and a new character was introduced at the end.

Felt like relationship councling.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Not really. I didn't really enjoy all the emotional healing/counceling talk. I suppose I couldn't connect with this aspect of the story. I'm sure others can.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Typical HEA and sweet. Nothing that 'WOW'ed me.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator was a 3 star (meaning: I liked the performance, not 4 stars='really liked' or 5 stars='the best I've experienced'). He was decent and did a decent job on the female voices (I've heard worst).

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No. It is not original enough.

Any additional comments?

Spirit Bound is an enjoyable story with sweet talk that any woman would want to hear from her man. I just don't find the story all that original. Give it a try, you might enjoy it. It wasn't totally unworthy of my credit.

Lots of sex, not enough story!

Would you try another book from Christine Feehan and/or Don Harvey?

I was looking forward to learning more about Rikkii's sisters but this book left a lot missing. If your looking for an erotic story this is it. Not much else here though. So sad! The first book in the series was very interesting but this one not so much!

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The plot needs more!!

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Narration not bad but missed the narrator form the Drake Sisters. Should have used the same one.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

More romance, not as much sex.

Any additional comments?

Might try the next book, hope it's as good as the first one. So sad, another narrator again!

why ?

i love Christine Feehan ,her work is always so good but this one fell short i don't know if it was the narrator of the book or just the book i did not like it . It was slow so slow and the narrator just made it worst sorry i think i'll stay away from this serie. I will however read the other

The book was okay but I didn't like the audible.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No, I had read the book first and found it slow. I was hoping the audible book would bring the story to life. but I didn't like the narrator. All of the characters sounded the same.

Would you be willing to try another book from Christine Feehan? Why or why not?

Yes, I have listened to all of the Sea Haven series as well as Water Bound and I enjoyed them all. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

What didn’t you like about Don Harvey’s performance?

He didn't bring the characters to life. What I really enjoyed with the other Feehan books was the fact that the narrator gave each character a voice.

Could you see Spirit Bound being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes, I am not sure who the stars would be.

Any additional comments?

I am looking forward to the next book in the series with out Don Harvey

So unbelievably SLOW and unimaginative!

Wow! I got through the first 4 chapters out of sheer dedication to not quit what I started. I kept hoping to care about these 2 main characters but could not. I liked the first book in this series although it was pretty slow but this one is just painful.

Decent story - unfortunate narration

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The book is entertaining and the plot is fresh. There was a fair amount of melodrama that I could've done without, but it kept me listening over a long drive.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Spirit Bound?

When Judith is first able to control her powers and weave them all together.

What didn’t you like about Don Harvey’s performance?

The voices sound the same, and it OFTEN sounds like he's ending a sentence then discovers there are a few more words left in the sentence. The inflection is off.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Better narration. Sorry!
