Bound By Shadows by K.T. Maddan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.
I might come back to this later because I like the characters and the premise. And the author, to be honest. But this book really needed another round of editing. There are whole ass actions and phrases being repeated almost verbatim in consecutive paragraphs & it’s getting under my skin. 🥲

Excuse me, what? THIS… a debut? You could’ve fooled me. 

Guess I just fell in love with a new author. I love the way Rae writes and adored not just the main characters, but everyone in between. There are so many side characters caught my attention and I hope they all get books. 

The attraction and chemistry between Gwen and Charlie is there from the jump, but the relationship itself forms steadily and the spice is a slow burnnnn worth waiting for. The way their trust and intimacy builds with each page (and spicy interaction) is done so well. 

I initially came here for some domme vibes, but this story is more than that. Love love loveeeeee.

This was a super sweet, small town romance BUT it's written by Clio ... so you KNOW things are gonna get kinky. Just suspend all reality when it comes to the spice. Turn your brain off and enjoy.

This Cinderella retelling was H O T ! I knew it would be, but I was still fanning myself throughout. 

I devoured this front to back and barely came up for air. I loved the characters and it’s a quick read that definitely scratched an itch 😏 

For such a short book, Sara did a solid job of laying the groundwork of the existing dynamics that happened off scene. It did lessen the forbidden aspect quite a bit, but didn’t take away from my enjoyment. 

As always, Sara Cate will always be an insta-read for me. I'm so excited I received a copy of this book because I ate it uppppp.

Super funny and sweet and with spice too! I liked this so much and it was the perfect break from my normal dark romance without being TOO fluffy for me. The plot kept me interested and I laughed through it. Definitely give this one a read!
