But you know what? This last Nauti novel achieves the same high level of quality. No kidding. Hey, no one is more surprised by this than I am. I liked the third novel in this series best because Natches was always my fav of the three Nauti boys. Still those three books were kinda over-the-top, typical Leigh Ubers (shades of Men of August). And kinda meh for me because, as we all know, I’m Ubered-out at this point in my life. LOL

Plus, let’s face it. There were only three Nauti boys. Where do you go from there, ya know? Well, I forgot about Crista’s brother, Alex. All I can say is I’m soooo glad I bought this one instead of borrowing it, because it is definitely going on my Keeper Shelf. Really.

Alex has been in love with Janey, Natches’ little sister, for years. Only problem is she is 14 years younger. Not to mention Natches has always known of his lust for her and threatened to do dastardly things to his Alex’s dangly parts if he made a move on his virgin sister. But he did ask Alex to help him protect her while his abusive father, Dayle Mackay, was still alive.

Well, Dayle and his psycho sister are dead, and Janey is running dad’s restaurant as a co-partner with Natches. The problem is everyone in their small Kentucky town sees Natches as a hero because he killed his terrorist father and aunt. But they see Janey as soiled because she is the daughter of a terrorist. Go figure. Yeah, no one is very nice to her.

Alex gets out of the military with the sole purpose of claiming Janey. He’s tired of waiting, and he could care less about Natches’ threats against him. Actually, he feels the same way about his little sister Crista’s husband, Dawg. LOL

The fly in the ointment (of course) is someone in that town has decided to kill Janey and make her pay for her father’s sins. Typical Leigh plot. And let me warn you. It’s easy to figure out pretty quickly who it is.

However, what is not typical is Alex. What a sweet, gentle Uber he is with Janey! I just loved it. The way their relationship developed was perfect. And the sex is plentiful and hot. Like I said, this novel is the same high quality as the last three “Bound Hearts” novels IMO. Excellent!

I also liked the way the series is moving. There is a hint of future plot lines with Rogue, Zeke, and Timothy Cranston. The next novel in the series, “Nauti Deceptions,” comes out in 2010. Can’t wait!

Whoa! And I can’t forget that smokin’ hot cover. So many times with Leigh’s novels the cover looks nothing like the h/h. Well, this time they got it right, and Alex is gorgeous! From his handsome face to his yummy bod. A keeper-cover for sure!!

Thanks, Auntee, for convincing me to take a chance on this novel. I was ready to abandon this series. Now I’m hooked!
