Honor Bound

Enjoyable book

I read this book sometime ago. It is a short book. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
I found it interesting and maybe hard to believe a kidnapped person would help the perpetrator but stranger things have happened and heard of. Today we are much more weary of people than we would have been almost 40 years ago. We have to remember it is a book and strictly for entertainment. Sometimes fiction is very close to the truth.

Lucas a Native American broke out of jail to see his grand-father before his death and attend the funeral. He was in jail for a crime he didn't commit. His request was denied. Lucas took matters in his own hands. He took Aislinn, hostage and fell in love with her. The problem, she was every thing he detested and hated. she was rich, and white. But she also had his baby to which he would not let go. Lucas returned to Aislinn's condo to apologize to her he found a surprised, she had a son by him. Lucas was a proud man who embraced his heritage.

I enjoyed the book even with the strange things that makes you wonder. It is one of Sandra Brown earlier works. Basically what this proves is that there is nothing new under the sun. Love transcends. I loved the way Aislinn was portrayed as such a strong person who matched the strong personality of Lucas. It was refreshing how Lucas mother was done with such a forgiving heart.

At times we need refreshing books to read. I am an avid reader of romance therefore, this is the kind of stuff I enjoy. It does not matter is was written almost 40 years ago. It does not seem dated except for technology the subject matter does not change.

I would have liked the book to have been longer: maybe she could have talked more about Lucas father and why he did what he did. All in all, it was a short read, but enjoyable one. It's hard to get a romance without suspense and drama where it ties in just right. This book was predictable as in you knew they would end up together and there would be a baby knowing Sandra Brown earlier works, but the fun is how the story unfolds I read the book in one sitting and listened to it in one day.

Hidden Gem

While I love Sandra Brown's romantic suspense, I've not had much luck with her early category romances. This 2012 production of a 1986 romance is delightful thanks to very appealing lead characters. There's a satisfying dollop of raw emotional conflict and angst that rings true. Renee Raudman, as usual, nails it, enhancing the written word with her intuitive performance.

Old School Sandra Brown

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

I read this book years ago and really enjoyed it. I listened to it again and still loved it. I did notice the difference between Sandra Brown then and Sandra Brown now... it is interested to see how authors hone their craft over the years.

What three words best describe Renee Raudman’s performance?

Renee Raudman did a credible job - easy to listen to.

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

maybe

Outstanding

Okay, so it's a stretch to think anyone would end up in love with a man who dominates and kidnaps you, but of course, this is a book. Make believe. I loved it!! All of it. The narrator is excellent and Ms. Raudman hasn't done any reading that I didn't enjoy.
Honor Bound was enjoyable and I listened through to the end without pause.

Good Story

Despite a narrator sometimes over the top - it is a good story. A nice comfortable read.

Not my style

I like Sandra Brown but this one was not one I could get through. The storyline was distasteful with being taken against her will and being mistreated. I ended up stopping halfway through.

fun,

I love the narrator, it is an unrealistic story which is why I absolutely enjoyed it.

Light, enjoyable listen through Audible Escape

Another great early romance by Sandra Brown dealing with race. Light, enjoyable listen through Audible Escape.

Always enjoy reading Sandra Brown’s works

This book does not disappoint. I read Honor Bound years ago but throughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The story was suspenseful, and the narrator gave a wonder performance.

50 Shades of Grey wanna be.

I have read many of the authors books and was looking forward to this audible as I traveled across the country. I am so disappointed. There was little plot. It seemed as if the author was more intent on seeing how descriptive she could be with sex. Would not recommend this book.
