Bound Souls: Zander and Daphne (Scarred Hearts #2.5) in Dauntless Indies Read and Review Squad

Jan 21, 2015 Arianne The Bookworm on the Loose rated it it was amazing

This is wickedly awesome! Zander and Daphne are two broken souls, with shattered hearts in a subdued relationship. After a whirlwind romance that got Daphne pregnant, Zander thought he finally broke through her walls and nabbed her heart. But Daphne still kept her heart guarded and couldn't break the sexual tension brewing between them. It seemed like this relationship wouldn't work even with a baby along the way. Will they ever find happiness in each other's arms?

But because Felicia Tatum is a ...more

I really enjoyed Bound Souls. It's a short novella and fast read that was very enjoyable and full of emotion. I did not read the prior two books before reading Bound Souls, as the book can be read as a stand alone. However, I will state that there are several aspects of Zander and Daphne's situation that I believe having read the prior books would have provided enlightenment. This does not deter from the enjoyment of the book though, as I was able to quickly pick up on Zander and Daphne's histor ...more

This story picks up where Anxious Hearts ended. Daphne has moved in with Zander so they can be good parents when their baby is born. Although they live in the same house, they sleep in separate rooms. Zander wants them to be a couple but Daphne doesn't believe he really wants her. She can't take medicine for her depression while pregnant and is having a rough time. Zander is determined to make Daphne see herself as he sees her and to win her heart.

I have had Mangled Hearts and Anxious Hearts for awhile now and just haven't gotten around to reading them yet, I received an ARC for this book and decided it was time to get started; I don't know if I am happy I read them all so fast and loved them or sad because I finished them!
Daphne is someone who constantly pushes people away she feels she is undeserving of love and happiness. Her inner demons keep her at bay. Zander also has his issues but he wants more than anything to break down Daphne' ...more

This series of books has been one of my favorites from the beginning. I love every single character in them, but I think right now Zander is at the top of my list of favorites. This was another five-star worthy book from Felicia Tatum. I adore her writing style and the strength and realism her characters portray. There is a cameo from one of her other books that I thought was an awesome surprise! The descriptions of feelings of depression were spot on, the insecurities, the mood swings, and the ...more

I received an Arc for an honest review. I so rooted for Daphne and Zander. I mean what a guy, how many now a days step up and take responsibility. These two as individuals have so many insecurities and self doubt, like many of us, and together it breeds even more doubt. But it was very frustrating at times, I wanted to say hey just speak up, tell each other how you feel and stop the doubt, lol it doesn't work that way. I had another story where I ran the gambit of emotions, which I love in a boo ...more

In Anxious Hearts we watched Daphne and Zander stumble their way through life, and eventually, toward one another. I love the backwards nature of their relationship... rather than starting with love and ending with a baby, a baby is what brings them together. But it's more than their shared love for their child. Daphne learns she has more to offer than her body, and Zander finally finds a healthy relationship when he's been surrounded by the opposite all his life. Also, if you're a fan of Tatum' ...more

I received and ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really like all the characters in this series, I loved the sexual tension between Zander and Daphne and I like how the books are done in both points of view so you get to know what each character is exactly feeling, I really liked how it ended and I can't wait to find out more about Korah, this book was an amazing end to the Zander and Daphne parts and I hope there's more about Francesca and Cade in the coming books! ...more

Oh wow! Zander takes my breath away!
Hes so understanding, and caring, and sexy, and adorable!
Finally they move together, still not assuming their love for each other, but caring more and more each day.
Daphne will open up finally and see how Zander trully cares for her, not minding of her depression, but wanting to be with her more.
Finally when their son arrives, the love win them over and they start living like a family, caring for each other.
I loved the burp talk Zander have with Alec... lol... ...more

A great continuation of Zaphne. With the birth of their child coming they have many obstacles to overcome and though it may take a while that first step is always the hardest. A very emotional book with loads of tears, both happy and some sad at times. A happy ending most deserving of these two.

Daphne opens up a lot in this one! I love that she moves in with Zander even if in the beginning its for the baby..She doesn't exclude Zander on everything (just her feelings for a while!) I love this series! I think my favorite part is when Daphne gets jealous and how she growls =)

Beautiful story of understanding, perseverance and determination. Well written with characters that have great interactions. I enjoyed this story very much as Zander and Daphne learn, no matter what obstacles there are, love can blossom and grow. Another great read by a very talented author.

Received copy for review.

So amazing! I was so excited to read a book with Zander and Daphne! Daphne agrees to move in with Zander and to raise their baby together. She is trying to kick her depression to be better for her baby and maybe for Zander? Loved this book and I recommend it highly!

Felicia Tatum writes some of the best books. There is not a single one of her books that I’ve read that I’ve put down. I have read each of them thoroughly and they are wonderful. Felicia Tatum does not disappoint in her writing. Bound Souls is a book that shows that. The characters and the writing are just awesome. I really don’t have many words to say how much I liked Bound Souls.

After receiving an ARC of this book, I quickly began to read.. and realized that I couldn't put the book down once again. This book is so well written, that I found myself lost in the pages of Felicia's characters. If you love Felicia's books as much as I do, or are looking for a quick read, I would highly recommend you pick up this series. (I would recommend reading the first books in the Scarred Hearts series, but if you didn't it can be read as a stand-alone.) Another great book by a wonderfu ...more
