Bound by the Night by Cynthia Eden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I think by now it’s no secret that I love Cynthia Eden’s writing. This Bound series is no exception. It always amazes me how she can pack so much action and steamy goodness into such a short story.
Here we have a werewolf alpha named Jamie who is going to awaken the Blood Queen (a vampire queen who has been under a sleeping spell for years). He thinks that he will use her and bind her to him and that will be that.
Iona wakes from a 15 year long “sleep” and her world is turned upside down. She had been betrayed and imprisoned in sleep, but she doesn’t know the half of it.
The two of them find out they kinda sorta like each other and they both want to defeat a common enemy, but…(isn’t there always a but?) Iona sleeps and dreams Jamie’s memories from his blood. He is by now in love with her, and he knows what she’ll dream-His planning on betraying her. But she doesn’t know he’s changed his plans. Iona feels she can’t stay with him, and Jamie does something very painful and very romantic. I loved it.
This is the fourth in the Bound series, and I’m hoping there will be more.
I’ve seen her books from time to time and thought about picking one up but just never have. Might have to change that and grab the first in this series. Sounds pretty interesting 🙂
