Book Review! Bound to You by Alyssa Brandon

Bound to You by Alyssa Brandon

Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal/Fantasy Romance)
Date Published: April 10, 2018
Publisher: Swoon Reads

A stubborn teen faces off with her brooding, indifferent (but super hot) soulmate in this unique and sexy take on a classic paranormal romance story.

She’s met her mate . . . and he’s met his match.

Megan Ross has been waiting her whole life for her mate to come and sweep her off her feet. But the wolf she meets on the beach is NOT the sweet gentle boy she’s been dreaming of. Instead, he’s a warrior, one whose suffering has led him to lock his heart away in a prison as cold and hard as a diamond, who fights to resist the bond and their deep attraction.

Far from home, with a soulmate who is still a stranger, Megan learns that the path to true love isn’t quite as straight and easy as she thought . . .

Chosen by readers like you for Macmillan’s young adult imprint Swoon Reads, Alyssa Brandon’s debut novel Bound to You is guaranteed to make readers swoon, sigh, and maybe even cry before it’s over.

Bound to You by Alyssa Brandon was an entertaining shifter romance. Megan has all these grand notions of what life will be like once she has found her mate. James doesn't want a mate. They throw each other's lives into a bit of chaos. James is very intense. I loved that about him. It really helped amp up the romance too. Megan adds a little lightness to his life, which he needs. They have a chemistry that grows and changes through the story. I was thoroughly engaged in the lives of these characters from beginning to end.

The ARC of Bound to You by Alyssa Brandon was kindly provided to me by the publisher through NetGalley for review. The opinions are my own.

My teaser this week is from Bound to You by Alyssa Brandon

I moved toward him, my feet nearly slipping as some force seemed to reach out from within me. It was like a rope of air had curled from me to him. The rope was visible, bright white and slightly shimmering for about two seconds, and then it was gone. Only it was still there. I could somehow feel the rope connecting us, binding us together. Forever joining us.

“Oh hell,” the stranger—my mate—said. His first words to me … not the romantic declaration I’d been hoping for.

A teen werewolf finally meets her destined soulmate only to discover that he's not quite what she expected in this steamy debut romance.

She's met her mate . . . and he's met his match.

Megan Ross has been waiting her whole life for her mate to come and sweep her off her feet. But the wolf she meets on the beach is NOT the sweet gentle boy she's been dreaming of. Instead, he's a warrior, one whose suffering has led him to lock his heart away in a prison as cold and hard as a diamond, who fights to resist the bond and their deep sexual attraction.
