TitleTrakk.com Blog Tours Presents:Shuttled between foster homes, Roxi Gold will do anything to fit in. Soon she’s traveling the country stealing rare books from unsuspecting bookstores. Police officer Abby Dawson has seen the worst of society—and not just at work. One fateful night, both their lives are changed forever. One searches for justice, the other finds herself on the run. Will the power of forgiveness set them free?
My Review:
Bound By Guilt
is a fast-paced page-turner that hooked me from page one.
If you have read her first book, Thicker Than Blood, then you will recognize a few characters, but don’t worry, you won’t be lost if you haven’t read it. Both books can easily be read as stand alone novels.
The main character in Bound By Guilt is sixteen-year-old Roxi Gold. She hasn’t had a home to speak of since she was a little girl and she’s been bounced around all over the place. Because of her childhood she feels unworthy, unwanted, and unloved. Deep down she’s got a good heart and I was rooting for her the whole way through!
I VERY highly recommend this book! It’s beautifully written, full of suspense, action, and all threaded with a powerful message. The characters are real and they will stick with you even after you’ve finished the book. I love that the characters aren’t perfect. They are flawed people like you and me, which makes it easy to relate to them. It’s a beautiful story of redemption. I will be anxiously awaiting C.J.’s next book!
