Sanburne, on the other hand, hates his father and has made it his life’s work to become an embarrassment to the family name. Lydia refuses to hear anything bad about her father, even when the evidences starts coming in that he might not be the ethical person she’s always believed him to be.
He finds her beautiful and that’s that.They are a case of opposites attract. Sanburne is almost an Adonis and Lydia is described as only fair in looks, especially next to her more beautiful sisters, but to Sanburne, looks are unimportant. These two are brought together when he lords it over his father that he has a true piece of history and Lydia exposes it as a fake.I love the relationship between these two characters. He has, to put it mildly, a strained relationship with his father. However this is all threatened when she is giving a lecture of his work and is rudely interrupted when Sanburne breaks into the meeting and takes over with his own agenda. He was an Egyptologist who spent most of his time abroad while Lydia managed his affairs at home. After a brief and aborted shot at love when the man she had loved asked her for her sisters hand in marriage, Lydia pretty much dedicated herself to her father’s work.
Lydia was a prickly kind of heroine and as long as they aren’t overdone, I really enjoy a bristly heroine. I’d had it on the TBR pile and when I finally read it, wondered why I took so long!I didn’t wait with this one.Though Bound By Your Touch didn’t have quite the angst level of Duke of Shadows, I still enjoyed it immensely. It took me a while to get to her first book, The Duke of Shadows.
