Review - Bound by the Moon (The Bound Series #2) by J.F. Holland




Blurb

Bound by The Moon, part of 'The Bound Series'. (Shifter Romance Serial, not a standalone, the story carries on throughout the series so needs to be read in order). 

Jaden Matthews has now found, and fallen, for Maya Rawlings, his mate. They need to perform the binding ceremony, but their plans are hitting a few snags. Namely the rogues', which are stalking Maya. 

If they don't complete the ceremony, Jaden will become the Jaguar he shifts into, for the rest of the animal's lifespan. No more immortality, or humanity, and no more Maya, and forever. 

Helena, Maya's mother, is back from the dead, and her cousin Lana, is also on the rogues' radar. The stakes have just gotten higher, it's no longer just Maya's life that is in danger. The battle has begun to keep Maya, and her family safe. 

More immortals have offered their help to eliminate the threat. The rogues' actions and indiscriminate kills are also threatening discovery by humans. 

The game of cat-and-mouse has begun. Who will be the victor? 

Contains erotic scenes, profanity, and gore





MY REVIEW

*Romance, matings, danger and a sprinkling of humorous banter make this a good read.*

Book 2 in The Bound Series starts where book 1 finished off. In my opinion you need to read in order to get to know the characthers and story.

Jaden and Maya are an entertaining couple, their connection and love for one another have grown very quickly and you can feel it. Spoiler alert.... They finally bind together in this book, it is not as perfect as they would have planned though....
With Maya wrapped so tightly around him, he'd never been so uncomfortable in his life. Her heels were dug into his arse, and her dress was bunched up between them. Add in the fact that the zipper of his jeans was digging into his groin, and that she'd probably have a belt buckle mark on her stomach, he was having a fucking ball.
The pair of them are very early in their relationship, but there is love and lots of passion, they both need to learn about censoring the things they say at times.

"Welcome to cat sex baby. Didn't you know cats can go for hours, with very little downtime," he informed her. "In the wild, one cat will service many females," Jaden informed her, and Maya hissed. "Not in the human world they don't, not unless they want to lose certain appendages," she informed him.

Along with Maya and Jaden, there are lots of fabulous new characthers bought into the story, I love the variety of paranormals, the vamp and the gargoyle have definitely taken my interest.

There is a despicable man, Maya's dad
"I did enjoy the show earlier; pity you didn't undress her though. Quite naughty of you to spoil our fun," he said again. - maya's dad to Jaden

He and his cronies are horrid and a danger to everyone in the town, luckily there is a big band of goodies ready to defend their community and the humans too.

The story is romance based and mates finding one another but the danger lurking in the background keeps them all busy.
"When did the town turn into an episode of Midsummer Murders?" Balin asked grimly.
Lana and Balin'ss story is going to be fun. On to book 3.

4 Stars
