Helpful Score: 2

An emotionally powerful & engrossing effort by Meredith Duran, but it lacks some of the punch, and much of the originality, of Duke of Shadows. Duran is a brilliant, gifted writer, but this book felt somewhat like watching an immensely talented aerialist opt to use a safety net. Where DOS was daring & innovative, Bound by Your Touch felt all too familiar. However, it's almost petty to quibble about something so clearly exceptional, simply because it wasn't what I expected, and this story is certainly head & shoulders above nearly anything comparable. Where it reminded me a great deal of Jo Goodman's If His Kiss is Wicked, it was also clearly superior to it as well.

Grade: A
Sensuality Rating: R
