Lists with This Book. Nov 17, Erika rated it really liked it Shelves: Quick, but sexy book with a great hero and heroine. However, I have to mark it down from my original 5 star. I must have missed the references the first time around or wasn't bothered by them , but apparently, the hero was NOT celibate during the separation. That always makes me sad, especially since the heroine was basically suffering all that time.
Of course, he had no reason to stay celibate since she left him, but still I don't like when authors go that route. So sexy, hot, romantic, exciting! Book 2 was a 5 star for me as well. Jan 03, Laura the Highland Hussy rated it really liked it. I normally hate "the Big Misunderstanding" in a romance, but this author has a way of leaking out bits of the past, or the Misunderstanding to the characters, bit by bit, and it no longer is such a Big Misunderstanding.
It becomes something that everyone can deal with, rationally, y http: It becomes something that everyone can deal with, rationally, you know, like in real life. In this novella, we see Paige walking up to a werewolf stronghold in Alaska, and being dragged in.
The thing is, Paige is a vampire, and in this world, vamps and werewolves do not mix. The big question is, how did she get his protection? Since the day she bailed on him, to be exact. They were in love, and supposed to meet at the lake, but she never showed. Oh, and Paige is a vampire now.
So Drake wants to know what happened, but Paige only gives him some story about needing him to kill a vampire. Free still until the 13th link here: A second chance romance between the now-turned-human-vampire Paige and werewolf alpha Drake- its a story of heartbreak, love, betrayals and unrequited passion. Im just glad the couple re-united, and that their spark never diminished.
Nov 01, Fatimama rated it it was ok. It was intense as the timeline was just a day or 2? The story is more on the fighting with vamps. The heroine was stupid not to reach out to the hero for 10 yrs.. Oh I really enjoyed this one too! It's my favorite so far. I love when we have lovers reunited and it is written well. It just adds so much to the story. Drake was a young male, set to be the alpha of his pack and he fell in love with Paige, a human. He was going to bring her into the pack. She was his and his everything. But someone else had other plans and had Paige kidnapped by vampires, where she was turned into the thing that Drake hates the most.
This was such a great story Oh I really enjoyed this one too! This was such a great story and the reunion between Paige who never stopped loving Drake and Drake was beautiful and sexy. I love how she never stopped loving him and the same for Drake. Such a good story!!! Well, perhaps she did. Not hardened with deadly rage. She had once loved him more than anything else in this world, but Henry and Gabe had taken Drake from her. It becomes something that 4. For a novella which is supposed to be a short read, this sure broke my heart. The pain Paige and Drake carried resonated through the words on the pages, their feelings for each other so poignant, you had to be a statue not to feel for them.
Their suffering over their separation was heartbreaking. My heart went out for both of them but especially for Paige. Even after everything she we For a novella which is supposed to be a short read, this sure broke my heart. Even after everything she went through, she still tried to protect Drake from the truth. I loved both characters and all the twists and turns in the plot. This review makes me wanna go and read the book all over again. Aug 21, Maya rated it liked it Shelves: The main reason for that is, that the h was only with H and during their 10 year separation she hadn't had anybody else, while H had at least that was hinted in his POV.
What I loved, tho, is that the h was really smart and strong. She made the story worth-while for me, since that is what in the end what created the great mystery and angst. Can't wait to read the fourth book. View all 8 comments. Jan 20, Beth Martin rated it it was ok Shelves: Trolling Browsing through the free eBooks section is one of my favorite pastimes when I have a free hour. Usually, the small novellas are mediocre and brainless, something to detox me from any real thinking. Upon finding this fine porn story in my pursuit of asshattedness, I was pleasantly surprised.
Paige is actually, you know, sort of kind of badass which is not at all what I was expecting. The world of vampires and werewolves in this, though only barely fleshed out due to the sho Trolling Browsing through the free eBooks section is one of my favorite pastimes when I have a free hour. The world of vampires and werewolves in this, though only barely fleshed out due to the short nature of the story, was well drawn and so far as I could tell sensical.
Fight scenes were intriguing if centered too much in the character's heads. Drake is not a total asshole. The sex was actually, you know, sort of kind of hot which is not at all what I was expecting. What I Didn't Like: The main alive villain was not in the least threatening since he was either a off screen while doing evil deeds or b doing dumb evil deeds on screen.
It gets it's own section because it's just so awful. Thank God you don't have to look at it for long. All in all, this isn't a bad book by any stretch of the imagination. Furthermore, if you can get it free, then it really is an entertaining way to spend an hour. But it's not that great. This would have been better for being stretched out longer, I think. Jan 17, Paige rated it really liked it Shelves: All three have been great and pack such a punch in under pages. Drake Wyler and Paige Sloan's story is a heartbreaking one because they were taken from the other and suffered so much in the ten years that has past.

He's plans of making her his mate was taken from him and for ten years he always believed she just couldn't handle him being a werewolf. When Paige suddenly shows up, as a vampire, and still wearing his necklace marking her safe from all others, she's taken to him.
He pulls her into his arms and it's clear he doesn't have the same reaction to her that he does to all the other vampires. But there is still anger in him and he forces her to reveal why she's come. She tells him she needs his protection from her maker, Gabe, who is after her. Drake is all to happy to promise her that Gabe will never harm her again.

As she begins the transformation that will turn her into a vampire, her bloodlust and their desire merge in an explosion of need that neither can control. The characters are not real deep, but they are not just two dimensional. Thank God you don't have to look at it for long. But a girl can only run for so long until the past catches up with her. I gave this four stars not because there was anything wrong with it, but because it was a shorter story, the over all series is enticing, I just wish the books were longer. He knew Drake was next in line and was not going to let him bring in a human as his mate. Like the rest in this series, this book left me breathless and wanting more.

Bound in Sin is a fun novella to sink your teeth into for a quick bite between full length novels. Drake is a kick-ass, sexy alpha and Paige a brave, determined heroine; both intriguing characters that Cynthia Eden provides a smooth dialogue for. The plot itself is action packed and set in a simple but captivating world that works perfectly for this size novella and despite the paranormal aspects of the story the situations are relatable. My only complaint about the Bound in Sin would be that the story very closely resembles the second novella in this series, Bound in Darkness, and seemed slightly repetitive.
I just dig right in knowing that I will fall in love with the story and characters by the first page. I really loved this one! Paige and Drake had a lot of history. With the other books in this series, the couples have this instant connection, which although I enjoy that, sometimes I struggle to feel that emotional connection because it all happens so fast. Because of their history in this, the love is already there, so I felt everything.
The pain, the anger and the love. I've disliked the action side in a couple of the books in this series but I really liked the action in this one. It had a goo I really loved this one! It had a good bad guy and it wasn't over the top. What I loved about this was that the action and romance was very well balanced and I throughly enjoyed the way it all played out.
It didn't feel like a novella. This was everything I wanted. I really do enjoy a good ol' sexy "mine" story.
