House Bound

Written by Anne Stuart

Narrated by Amy Deuchler

Anne Kirkland is in love…with a home. The 200-year-old stone mansion has been in her family for generations and nothing is more important to her. A renaissance woman, who doesn’t realize how gifted she is, Anne has poured her blood, sweat and tears, along with every penny she has, into restoring the house that she owns along with her father and siblings. But the ravages of time and nature have taken a toll, and despite her best efforts, Anne is losing the war.

Noah Grant comes to the Kirkland house under false pretenses. Pretending to be one of Anne’s sister’s flings, Noah has really come to check out the house for his former father-in-law. Noah represents a group of interested buyers. With the rest of Anne’s family on board, the sale of the house is imminent, and only Anne’s stubborn determination is standing in the way.

Anne and Noah are instantly drawn to each other, despite the obstacles standing in their way, but can Anne ever forgive him once she learns the truth?

Reviews for House Bound

[K G · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

2.5 stars.. my mistake for not looking past the description of the 200yr old farmhouse… the book turned out to be an erotic romance - thought I will give the author credit for how inoffensively it was written.. completely implausible but if was well paced with decent character development. Unsurprisingly the farmhouse part was a bit lacking but the family drama was interesting enough to keep me engaged.

I found the story boring and uneventful. The characters were unlikable even poor Ann. I couldn't finish it

Nice book, felt so bad for Anne, her family was horrible. But kept me entertained the whole way through

[Lisa Moriah Chenthitta · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Well crafted and well written. I got a bit impatient with the heroine being so stubbornly resistant to her own joy. ? But I guess if there’s no resistance, there’s no joy.

What an enjoyable book this was a sweet story must read

[Natale Michaud · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A lot of backstabbing going on. While I agree Annie should forgive Noah, I would never have forgiven the family who went behind her back. Though what Noah gave her to replace her loss, was so much better.

Sorry

Disappointing, although the text was well written, some of the events only would happened in a bad soap operas. There is no world other than a soap opera where a woman would return her engagement ring and her ex fiancé would take the ring back and then give it to her sister a few hours later. Those things don’t happen in real life. Some of the stuff in this book would only happen in a bad soap opera.

Hated the story and the characters. Made myself finish listening just hoping somehow it would get better. But I should’ve listened to my gut and stopped halfway through!
