Book Review of Bound By Honor: An Erotic Novel of Maid Marian

Bound By Honor: An Erotic Novel of Maid Marian

Helpful Score: 2


I gave this book a low rating of only 1 star

Although I liked the interesting perspective on the traditional Robin Hood story, much of the sex was gratuitous and just random. Describing the depravity of Prince John's court could have achieved much the same result. Readers are not stupid--we can get the idea without numerous, poorly-written explicit encounters to paint a terrible picture. And, I'm sorry, but most women would not find themselves orgasming uncontrollably as Maid Marian does on several occasions. If a woman is feeling alarmed or repulsed by a situation, it doesn't matter who touches her or how, she isn't gonna get there.

Too bad: if this author had focused on the story and her interesting dynamics between several familiar characters, she could have had a decent book--and a much better score.
