So there's a revolution that occurred and all the criminals from the Underground rose up and overthrew the existing corrupt government. But what's a Dome? Is it a planet or just one of several contained biospheres within a planet? And why doe these Domes exist in the first place? So we have a Dome called Tholos, which is where this story takes place. Any information you have about it is incidental, as opposed to being written for the sole purpose of world-building. My reason for saying this is because the world in which this book takes place is not developed. This book could have been really good, but it's really essentially a chapter or outline and not a full book. And I think that's what a great book is supposed to do. It's more than just dark erotica- it blends the line between good and evil until you don't know what's what anymore. Claire doesn't just forget about them, like boy-crazy romance leads tend to do, she suffers from them.Īnd I believe it is that suffering in this book that truly makes it one of the best romance novels I've ever read. You can't help but love him, as flawed as he is.but Cain also makes you crave some sort of punishment for his sins. Things that bring out in me such an intense hatred.but he has his reasons. Which brings me to the Alpha of this book, Shepherd. Claire, despite how easy it would've been to settle in the life Shepherd gave her, never gives up. But nothing irritiates me more than when the female lead just settles for an abusive relationship *coughcough50shadesofgreycoughcough*. I love reading stories where there is that sort of.unbalanced power dynamic between the two main leads. I admire her strength and really really want her to be happy. But throughout the book she doesn't just lay there and accept her fate, she fights back. She is someone who's essentially born into a position of weakness - an Omega. I've reread it so many times.and somehow the power of the emotions it invokes never fades.įirst of all, the main character, Claire. Born to be Bound made me feel things I've never felt before.
