Publisher's summary

College senior Kate Camden has learned to adapt - to her last year of school, to the promise of motherhood, to the fact that she's doing it all alone. But just when she's learned to adjust, heartache threatens to break her apart.

Pro hockey player Jason "Ryke" Ryker has it all: adoring fans, a promising career, and a beautiful wife. But when his seemingly perfect life is shaken by tragedy, he's left questioning whether having it all is ever more than an illusion.

When circumstance brings Kate and Ryke together, they discover they don't have to hurt alone. Bound by a grief that haunts them both, they must rely on one another to survive heartbreak. But that grief is more powerful than they realize, and the tie that binds them together may ultimately tear them apart.

Wow I have never heard an audible book before and this was just
Amazing, I have read all of Brenda Rothert's books and loved them all, and just listening to a book I have previously read was such a unique experience, so different .. and such a nice change .. I love Kate and Rykes story it's one of my favorites and all I can say is just having listened to the story made me enjoy it even more!! This was my first audible book and for sure won't be my last :) Thank you Brenda for allowing me the chance to experience this, I am truly greatful! !! I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Captured

Omg, this amazing story captured my heart and would not let go! Timely and thoughtful!

Excellent!

Touchingly sweet, heartbreakingly heart wrenching, dumb grin cracking, beautiful, sexy, steamy love story.... :)

Loved the story and the narrators.

"You make me want things"

A hockey-romance that is packed with heart-ache, searching to move past the heart, discovering life, chemistry, and steam. I enjoyed the developing relationship between Ryke and Kate. The story grabs your attention from the start giving you background into the past of the couple. I really enjoyed the two as individuals and also them working in their relationship. There is no denying the attraction between the two but the story was for sure a slow burn. This a book that will keep you invest from first page until the last.

I read it first, listened later!

What made the experience of listening to Bound the most enjoyable?

It is immediately evident that the narrators are well versed professionals. Both the male and female narrators powerfully bring the characters of Kate and Ryke to life in ways I never imagined. Having read the book first, and thoroughly enjoying it, I was surprised at how an auditory experience helped create an entirely different perspective.

Who was your favorite character and why?

That's a tough one! Both Kate and Ryke are well deserving favorites.

What does Chris Ruen and Kirsten Leigh bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Chris and Kristen's voices draw the listener right into the story - fully immersing them, in ways not possible via reading. Chris' strong male voice is a perfect match for hockey player, Ryke. Kristen taps into Kate's emotional journey and brings the listener right along as she changes from beginning to end.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

A story of loss recovery and love

Cute story. I didn’t do grief counseling when I lost my son but was happy to know it was a healing for some. This is a story of hope and healing. Narrators were very good. Chris brought Ryker to life.

Keeps you in the start of a Love story.

A simple book of loss and beginning of love with a complex issues for both partners. You become a cheerleader and a bit frustrated but you love the characters.

Good

This was a good book. I felt their pain, and I'm happy they found each other.

Freeing the heart

The first thing that I want to say is......There isn't enough hockey!!!. The book was very touching. It is the story of two people who need healing from the loss of a loved one.

The Naration is Amazing!!

Amazing story line. Not a predictable chick flick kind of book. Voices were very convincing as characters. I recommend!
