`Soul Mates Bind' picks up where `Soul Mates Kiss' left off.  It continues the story of beautiful Lola and handsome Marcus, who discovered that they were soul mates throughout several lifetimes in the previous book.  The story opens as they are getting married, or `bound' as the terminology in the warlock court calls it.  They are meant to be together as King and Queen to rule as powerful leaders, but there is something evil and dangerous coming, and Marc seems to sense that it could put their lives and those of their loved ones in terrible danger.To understand this story you really need to read the prequel.  It tells how the two meet and discover that they have known each other many times before in many lives.  Lola is actually half witch and half human, and she had initially been tasked with Marc discovering his heritage as a warlock.  Not everyone in Lola's life knows her identity, and her human dad has no clue what is going on except that his extremely beautiful and smart daughter has landed a great guy.As the two lovebirds head off on their honeymoon, Marc begins to sense that all is not right, and soon he will be fighting alongside his new wife and future Queen to protect the world he has grown to love.  This is a great blend of fantasy and erotica that stays true to both genres without being too cliché.  I love the characters that Ross has created, and the little intricacies of their back stories make you feel as though you have known them their whole lives.  The plot moves fast, but is easy to keep up with.  Even though there are a lot of these types of books on the market, she makes this feel fresh and new.I was particularly fond of the storyline involving Marc's discovery of his true heritage.  It was lovely to see an orphan discover that he was actually royalty, and not just the human kind!  It may be an often used theme, but it never gets old.  I also loved the names...Lola and Sable just seemed so exotic and regal.  The author always seems to use the best names for these stories!The erotica was splendidly hot and steamy, but appropriate.  The honeymoon was definitely a scene that made me blush!  But at the same time it was so sweet, and every woman wants a man to want her so badly on their honeymoon!  Even without the magic and mystical beings, this was a great book.  The romance was really well done and the suspense was just enough to keep me turning the pages.  I can't wait to read the next one in the series to see what happens to these two!
