Earth Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart #4) by Christine Feehan

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?


My Review:
I couldn't decide how to rate three or four stars and since there are no half stars I just went with three. The writing and the plot was strong enough but the characters just didn't convince me.
The hardest time I had was with Lexi. I'm not sure if I was taking it too literal or way too seriously but I wasn't convinced of the trauma and emotions she felt (or wasn't feeling) I liked Gavriil despite the fact he was an odd kind of character but maybe that's what Lexi needed in the end? I liked the family unit and getting to see the brothers reunite but when you put it all together something just seemed like it was missing. I think I was expecting a magical or heart source to it but I just wasn't feeling it in Earth Bound. I still liked the story and enjoyed reading it but I do miss the old Christine element to her stories these days.


My Rating:
3 Stars
