Of Bonds and Bondage is a gripping tale, filled with mystery, love, hate and revenge. Archie Bingham, son of Sir Archibald Bingham, an eminent British barrister, is an assistant District Attorney in New York. When he tries to blackmail Joseph Bocacci, a businessman with past ties to the Mob, into giving information about certain members of the Mafia, Joseph enlists his adopted grandson, Frankie Leeman, a lawyer, to look into Bingham s background before he emigrated to America.
Leeman s mission takes him to London, England, and during the course of meetings with former associates of Bingham, a shocking tale unfolds of a man, seemingly, possessed of the devil and the crushing effect he had on the lives of those he came in contact with. Once armed with damaging information against Bingham, and the reason behind his having to leave England, Leeman returns to New York and confronts him with what he has. Bingham then has to consider Leeman s demands and his thoughts takes the reader back over his life and you get his version of everything that took place, as well, the reason for the bitter relationship that existed between him and his father. There are two love affairs. One, heartrending between Leeman, while in London, and a young English woman of a different persuasion. The other between Bingham and his half sister. There is also the mystery of Joseph Bocacci s connection to the death, in Italy, of Frankie Leeman s natural parents.| Price | Condition | Delivery | Seller | Action |

Of Bonds and Bondage
When I buy a new book by Christina Dodd, I know it's going to be an enjoyable read. I like her historicals, and when she began contemporaries I was a little leery, but once I read one...I was hooked. Her latest "Thigh High" is an exciting blend of passionate romance, humor, and a light mystery to boot!
Nessa is a heroine to enjoy. She's always tried to do the right thing and her soft heart has really only let her down once. Since the death of her parents, she's lived with her eccentric aunts in one of New Orlean's famous Garden District houses. She struggles to help her aunts and try to keep up with the maintenance on the great house by working doggedly at a local bank for a real $itch of a boss all the employees call Stephabeast who hates Nessa.
Mac is a miserable, scarred businessman who lives for money and power. He's come to New Orleans to solve the mystery of the Beaded Bandits who rob one of his New Orleans banks for minimal amounts once a year during Mardi Gras. As far as he's concerned, it's not the amounts, it's the fact that it's stealing. No grey area here. He's also sure that Nessa MUST be involved.
Seeing these two together is like waiting and watching for the train wreck. You know it's gonna happen, it's just a matter of time. And man...is it sizzling once it does!! They're both lying to each other and each is trying to negotiate their way through a relationship.
I enjoyed Nessa and Mac. I loved the Beaded Bandits. The live-in transvestite was a hoot and I could almost feel the electricity of Mardi Gras. The ending left the probability of a follow-on book and I can hardly wait!
