Description:
Bound
by blood. Bound by loyalty. Bound by love.
Florian
has it all: excellent fashion sense, a kickass job with his best
friend, and a hard-won place among Silverton’s werewolves. When a
pack of females pads into their territory, Flo’s alpha dispatches
him to handle a merger. Total cakewalk. Except Keely, their alpha,
has no intention of submitting her wolves to Flo's larger pack.
Worse, a single glance from her baby blues sends his eloquence on
vacation and his heartbeat into overdrive. His flirtations seem
welcome too, but there's a snag. She doesn’t know he’s a vampire.
While
Flo struggles with his conflicts—obey his alpha, or win over
Keely—his estranged sire blasts into town with a catalog of radical
ideas. And hanging out with unsophisticated werewolves didn't make
the list.
With
violence in the air and all sides testing his loyalties, Florian must
bite back, even if showing his fangs costs him the girl.

My Reviews
Guarded: I almost didn’t read this book. That would have been a tragedy. I would have missed out on one fantastic story! Ivy’s story started with a normal human girl with a secret. She knew her best friend was a vampire. She also knew her neighbors were werewolves. She didn’t know how she knew and they didn’t know she knew. But her story gets exciting when she starts to learn of her heritage and she discovers she may not be the normal human she thought.
I got so swept up in this story and the characters! I nearly read this book in one sitting. It was so terribly hard to put down!
I give Guarded 5 stars. Great story!
Bound: Vampires, werewolves and Djinn, oh my! This series has got me hooked! I’m loving the characters Ivy and Florian. This series is so exciting! My only complaint is that It took me several pages to realize that the point of view of this story was a man’s. The first story was told from Ivy’s point of view and this one from Florian’s. I guess it’s more about my assumptions, but mostly when the author is a woman, the main character is too. So I assumed and got really confused in the first few pages. Beyond that it was fantastic! There were new friends, new love interests and new, deadlier foes. I’m going to enjoy this series for as long as she keeps writing more books! 4.5 stars for Bound!
Excerpt
(action-based)
With the ceiling
spinning above me, I spat out his taste. Even that took effort. My
body was a mess of floppy appendages without the muscles to shift.
But I’d done it. I’d pushed my sire out of my mind. Did that mean
I was free of him now?
Gino shot to his
feet. “Get up.”
He turned his back
to me and stared through a gap in the curtains.
I tightened my jaw,
scrambled up, and had to lean on the armchair. No strength. Lack of
blood. Total head rush.
“You are not to
see your friends again, is that understood?” The sharpness of his
voice didn't ease the thudding in my head.
I hitched my
shoulders to restart my suffering circulation.
“Ali?”
I called with my mind.
He would give me
strength.
“Ali?”
Nothing. My knees
trembled. The hollow Ali had carved out and filled with his
bothersome emotions lay empty.
Memories of when we
first met streamed into the void. We’d laughed, and we’d argued,
and gotten piss-drunk at the local bar more than twice, but we’d
always, always been like brothers inside that hollow.
I touched my
pockets, felt my jacket for…for what? This was crazy.
He could be busy, or
he simply hadn’t heard me.
“Ali? Where are
you?”
“Florian.”
Gino’s pitch tightened. “I need you to listen.”
I’d
ejected Gino from my mind too late. Ali was gone. My sire’s
remaking
of me had snapped our link like a brittle twig.
