EARTH BOUND is Book four in Christine Feehan's Sea
Haven series. Characters from Christine Feehan's
Drake Sisters series make appearances in EARTH
BOUND.
However, as someone who has never read previous books in
this series or books in the Drake Sisters series, I
was
still able to follow along without being confused and I
enjoyed the story. The only thing that might be a little
hard to figure out for readers like me who are new to the
series is exactly what special abilities some of the
characters have. EARTH BOUND is told from two
perspectives.
EARTH BOUND is my favorite book by Christine Feehan that
is
built around characters who are survivors. The hero, as
well as the heroine and her close-knit group of friends,
have all gone through some traumatic event or time in
their life and been resilient and have made themselves
stronger. The farm life that Lexi shares with her friends
and their families is an interesting juxtaposition to the
cult life Lexi experienced in the past. EARTH BOUND
differs a little from other books by Christine Feehan
with a similar theme primarily because of the main
romantic relationship. There is no struggle for
dominance, sexually, between the hero and heroine and I
find that to be very appropriate given their backgrounds.
At first glance, Lexi Thompson and Gavriil Prakenskii
could not be more different -- she is a gentle earth
mother type and he has lived essentially the life of an
assassin. However, they both recognize that their painful
pasts have made them both survivors. This common
understanding adds to their relationship making it
richer. Lexi has a lot of bad people after her and its
extremely fortunate that she finds her soulmate in a man
very skilled at eliminating physical threats. The romance
that develops between Lexi and Gavriil is very tender and
sensual. I love that Gavriil is a strong man but is a
teddy bear when dealing with Lexi. I also really like
that he is always respectful toward her and never tries
to push her limits in an aggressive way. Christine Feehan
has created a wonderfully sexy alpha hero with the
perfect amount of sweet to balance out all that rugged
masculinity.
EARTH BOUND is both exciting and full of danger as well
as a deeply moving love story. The tight relationships
between Lexi and her family and Gavriil and his brothers
make for some poignant moments. The sexiness in the
romance comes after the relationship between Gavriil and
Lexi grows and the trust builds. I look forward to the
next book in this fascinating Sea Haven
series by Christine Feehan!
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of AIR BOUND returns to the mysterious coastal town of Sea Haven where six sisters of the heart are bound by the elements, and one is stalked by an inescapable past… After escaping from a cult, Lexi found refuge with her sisters on the farm that more than sustained her body—it nurtured her soul as well. But she never forgot the terror she left behind or the always present fear that the cult would find her again, and claim her. Then her nightmare came true. Lexi was discovered and threatened—only to be suddenly saved by a stranger. He is Gavriil Prakenskii, and he’s awestruck by the woman he’s rescued. She is destined for him. He can feel it in his soul. But how can Lexi find happiness with a man steeped in secrets and shadows, one intimately acquainted with violence, and whose very love could be the death of them?
