Soul Bonds

Running away from Donovan, his pimp, Sammi was alone and scared, all he had is his body to help him survive. Dodging one of Donovan's goons, Sammi ducked into a bar, in hopes of finding someone willing to take him home for the night. As soon as he walked into the bar, he found more than a john for the night, he found his soul mate. Sammi felt Mitchell's presence before he saw him and felt him speaking before Mitchell even uttered a word. Sammi knew Mitchell was his soul mate when Mitchell `heard' him too. Mitchell Collins never thought he would meet someone to fill the hole that was left in his world when his lover Steve died five years ago, but then Sammi entered his life. Sammi made Mitchell feel things he never felt before, he loved Sammi on a level totally different from what he felt for Steve. When Donovan tracks Sammi down will the bond he shares with Mitch be enough to keep him safe? Soul Bonds is a good, sweet and entertaining story. Sammi is the sweetest thing and Mitchell is an utterly fantastic guy, but I felt the love came way to quickly between them. Even though their relationship moved rather fast it was still a very loving one, and I adored Sammi. I also liked Brian, he was an awesome best friend and I would love to read more about him. Although there were a couple of scenes that had me reading them in total disbelief, the overall story of Soul Bonds was very enjoyable. Ley Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Soul Bonds by Lynn Lorenz

Sammi is a young sex slave. Abused child at 10 years when he was in a foster house, he became an hustler at 16 and at 20 he was picked up by an older man, Donovan. At first Sammi thought that Donovan wanted him for his own pleasure, but soon he was used as a whore and also taken in captivity. Now Donovan plans to sell him to the highest bidder, and Sammi can't have it. So he runs aways, and after some nights where he trades sex for a shelter, he meets Mitchell. Mitchell is a simple man with a simple life, an ordinary work, a small but neat apartment. Sammi turns all it over. Since the first time both Sammi than Mitchell know that what they shares is more than a one night stand; Sammi has some psichic powers, he can read the emotions of people, and the voice of Mitchell in his head is strongest than all the other voices... Mitchell is the soul mate he is searching. But life is not simple if you are a valueable good for a slave trader. Donovan has no intention to let him free, and he starts ruining Mitchell's life to convince Sammi to cooperate. And Sammi, even if deeply in love with Mitchell, will do anything it takes to not damage him any more. The story is pretty good, the paranormal element not very strong, I would not define this romance as paranormal, it's more an angst romance, the sad past of Sammi is a stronger element than his psichic power. Even if the story is not too short, more than 160 pages, I still feel like all the event were happening in a too fast way: Sammi and Mitchell encounter is good and also their suddenly passion which continues for a bit, so much that they seems always horny, but how Sammi reveals his powers, and how Mitchell accepts them, it's all too fast. After all Mitchell's life is turned upset down from Sammi, and he seems too passive... maybe love is blinded him. And also the resolution of Sammi's problem... all too soon and all too simple, even if, usually I'm not one for prolong the ending too much. I like the characters, even if we have the chance to know better Sammi and not so much Mitchell. Also Mitchell has a past, also a late lover he still misses sometime, and he also seems to have a supporting and loving family, but in all the story we have only little bit of info on him and not a full profile. About Sammi we know something more, and I found really interesting Sammi's visit to a free clinic and his "coldly" approach to his sex life seen from a medical point of view. It could sound strange, but I probably found it the best scene in the book. In the end, easy reading, I finished the book in few time, but I see some lost opportunities in it and I'd like if the author considers to write more on these characters.
