Bound for the Forest #2
Bound to the Beast
England, 1588. When a fairy betrothal ritual goes wrong, village lad Tam is bonded to Herne the Hunter. Warrior, legend, and Greenwood spirit, Herne once led the terrifying Wild Hunt, an army of the undead who rode as harbingers of doom. When his passions are stirred and his blood is up, Herne sports the antlers of a mighty stag.
Herne could be the lover Tam secretly craves, but Herne’s past makes him fear the brooding warrior will enslave or kill him. While Herne admires Tam’s toughness and humor, he has rejected love—as he has sworn off leading the Wild Hunt—and wishes only for solitude. To break their betrothal, they must travel into the Greenwood, a realm of magic and bondage where their desires for each other grow dangerously irresistible, and the Wild Hunt bays for their blood.
As the threat rises, Herne’s mastery and compassion realize Tam’s darkest sexual fantasies. Soon he’s no longer fighting for his freedom, wishing to be bound to the beast forever. But can Herne’s tortured heart be reawakened? And if so, will their love destroy them both, or prove Herne the Hunter’s greatest weapon?

This book was a bit of a let down after reading Bound For The Forest. It seems that this book should have come first. Herne the Hunter was given immortality and the ability to lead the Wild Hunt over fifteen hundred years ago by the goddess herself. Now he is mostly legend and woodsman living a lonely existence deep within the Greenwood. Tam is a young man from a village on the outskirts of the Greenwood who is about to become betrothed to a fairy maiden. Things go awry when Herne is called to the ritual and becomes betrothed to Tam instead. The betrothal must be consummated within five days or Tam will die. Tam, the fairies and Herne the Hunter do everything they can to find a way to break the betrothal but the answer evades them. Both Tam and Herne desire each other but Herne the Hunter is afraid of killing Tam by consummating their betrothal. Both Tam and Herne the Hunter were well developed characters and I liked both the exuberant Tam and the brooding Herne. The angst dragged out much too long for me which is why the rating is lower. The world building was pretty much in place so Ms Berrisford could have thrown more action into this story in my opinion. It would have been nice to know how most of the fairies were killed off because it was stated in book one that there were very few fairies left in the Greenwood. The plot twist at the end was interesting and made for the HEA ending most readers crave. I would still recommend this story if the reader has read book one but would not suggest the this book as a stand alone story.

Absolutely delectable =)
The ending makes perfect sense, being carefully planned from the very beginning. Five stars and I am adding it to my favorites :D
There is virtually no BDSM in the story, save for one short scene at the abbey - - and a mention (or two or three) of certain cravings in passing ;) Still the abby scene was intense, hot and wonderfully delicious :D
***
The books in this series are connected only by the location and the mythology, so technically they can be read in any order. If you prefer chronological order, start with Bound to the Beast.

4 1/2 Hearts
http://mmgoodbookreviews.wordpress.co...
Herne has had vengeance in his heart for over fifteen hundred years, but he is losing his need to lead the Wild Hunt. when he is called to The Greenwood, he finds the Wild Hunt waiting for him to lead it, but maybe the Goddess has something else in mind for Herne when he interrupts a fairy betrothal. Tam really doesn’t want to marry any woman, but he has been chosen to capture a fairy in marriage. But, it all goes wrong and there is a race against time to find a way to break the betrothal. all the while, Tam and Herne fight their attraction to each other.
Another wonderful tale of The Greenwood. although, this one is set over two hundred years before Bound For The Forest. Herne has been alone for a long time except for when he is leading the Wild Hunt across England. But, he is tired of the vengeance. the one who wronged him is long gone and although it hurts to remember that betrayal, he can no longer find the full wrathful vengeance in his heart. Tam ends up betrothed to the wrong being inside the fairy circle and now Tam and Herne must find a way to break the betrothal before it ends in death for Tam while running from and avoiding the Wild Hunt as they try to harry Herne to lead them and they want Tam as a sacrifice.
Tam and Herne are fantastic characters. Herne wants peace and quiet, to do his duty and to be left alone. and Tam is a chatter box who is interested in all around him and can manage to get on Herne’s last nerve by being stubborn. Tam somehow manages to get through Herne’s thick shell and Herne wants to protect Tam. With the help (snort) of the fairies (you would not believe the mouths on them) and with the Wild Hunt on their tail, they discover just what the Goddess’s plans really are.
So…a story filled with world building, delightful and disgusting characters, incredible detail, more wonderful lore, passionate, primal, primitive sex with a touch of BDSM and some very happy characters with a wonderful ending, what are you waiting for get this book and let it take you on a journey.

(This review may contain spoilers).
All right, so I liked the book from the first scene - but I wasn't expecting it to be quite so graphic. I think I must have been blushing for most of the book, which was fine... until I was reading it just before work, with other people around.
I really liked Herne and Tam - something that's always important in a romance. I really felt for Herne right from the start. It took only moments for me to emphasise with him.
It took a bit longer for me to truly get into Tam's head. I didn't dislike him, but it took me a bit longer to be able to relate to his character.
I really did like the scenes with Herne and Tam together. I liked Ann, but I wasn't that keen on the Fair Folk. And I definitely didn't like the members of the Wild Hunt.
I do have to say that I found the language to be a bit too modern at times. Conversely, though, the book was really well-written - and I could see a lot of the scenes taking place inside my mind.
To summarise - this book was a fast, easy enjoyable read. Some of the scenes were a little too graphic for my tastes, but they didn't affect my enjoyment of the story.

Kay Berrisford writes historical mythology fantasy that feels like being immersed in another world. She sets this story at the beginning of Elizabeth I's reign, where England is under the threat of invasion by the Spanish Armada. Interestingly enough, I was listening to the gorgeously atmospheric soundtrack from 'Robin of Sherwood' by Clannad while reading this. Berrisford brings the story of Herne the Hunter and The Wild Hunt to vivid and violent life. This is a writer who knows and loves her subject and it shows. Even better, the character of Tam wasn't some stereotyped weaker male paired with the typical all-powerful male. Tam gave Herne as good as he got, and they made a wonderful pair. Her fae would stomp the crap out of Tinkerbell (and rightfully so). Berrisford knows the traditions, that even the most-seemingly benign fae folk are not truly human-friendly. This is dark fantasy done well.

Sorry to rain on the parade. I choose to read this book because of revives of people I use to trust. Now I feel somehow lost. Why the rating is so high? Let me explain my “-1000”.
The settings in the book are all wrong. I was prepared to something darkish, mysterious, romantic, and I got:
"...Answer this one my clever boy, and become a man. I prick, I tug, I slip, and I bend. If I don't fit, then lick my end. What am I?...Must I lick it, or will you stand proud for the sight of me?"
Hmm... Don’t get me wrong, I am all up for the good humor, but this is not humor, this is stupidity.
Everything else is just a surface sliding through, through history, emotions, feelings. No reflections, no thoughts, no logic.
Do not recommend.

THREE & A HALF STARS--This was an odd one but...I liked it. It's a fantasy-historical mix with mythology thrown in. It had BDSM elements.(a little bondage, figging action) There were half human - half spirit? God? *shrug* and elves and zombie like creatures. It was good. I had a question or two at the end but I'm not super stressed for the answers. I'd try something else from this author.

Tam has made it onto my list of MCs I can't stand. The whole angsty I want you, I hate you, I want you, I fear you back-and-forth got real boring real fast. Same goes for Herne. If you can't get past your issues after 1500 years, I see no point in reading about you.
I can't with this story. Not the first time I don't like a book many seem to love, and it won't be the last.

I liked the characters and the struggle they go through. I did think the it wasn't as dark as the blurb made it seem. I'm glad that Herne got his happy ending. Tam wasn't all that likeable and even by the end I still think he has a ways to go.
August 4, 2012
A bit more than 2.
I found that it was a rather. . . distasteful read. Not at all hot, an okay plot and not exactly likeable characters. I go so far as to say that I hated it, just that I definitely won't be visiting it again. At least I liked the ending. It was a nicely wrapped up HEA.

I don’t know why but I expected this book to be much darker than it was. I love that cover picture of Herne, he looks like a murderous badass, but that wasn’t really the case at all. Or rather, he was a murderous badass with the world in general but when it came to Tam he was more of an awkward grump.
Fifteen hundred years ago Herne was chosen by The Goddess to become the leader of the Wild Hunt, a group of murderous spirits who were evil in both life and death. At first Herne almost reveled in his task as it allowed him to unleash all of the pain from his mortal life on the world. But after so long he simply wants to be left alone to roam England’s forests in peace and seclusion. However a summoning from the Goddess can’t be ignored, and he is pulled back to enchanted Greenwood and finds himself accidently betrothed to a human, Tam.
I really liked the character of Tam, a bit of a victim in a sixteenth century kind of way, a little too-stupid-to-live, but adorable with it rather than irritating. I even liked Herne once I got past my disappointment that he wasn’t a bit more homicidal. They went together perfectly as a couple and I’d like to read the fourth book in the series when it’s re-released which can be read as a sequel to this one and features Tam and Herne as an already established couple. My favourite characters though were the other mystical folk. The fairies who were simply assholes who liked to torture butterflies and the Wild Hunt who had that homicidal flavor I was missing with Herne.
To be totally honest I felt like these two men took too long to give in to their desire. It made the story feel as though it dragged slightly. Having said that, the build up is delicious. The signs and hints that Tam tosses out about his submissive desires, and the dominant Herne who feels he must hold Tam at bay for his own good. When they finally do come together the author ignites the page with some graphically explosive passion that sees Tam fellating Herne’s antlers before being tied over a barrel for a spanking. The sex scenes get all the points!
While this is book number two in the series it can absolutely be read as a standalone. In fact, chronologically, this story comes first. Definitely an interesting read for those that like a bit of violent fantasy.

This was pretty good.
I never really warmed up to Tam, or many of the side characters. I liked Herne, and I liked the story.
This is my second book from the author, and after reading it, I'm more likely to read another.
Historical is hit and miss for me, leaning more towards miss. Throw in some pnr, fantasy, or preferably a mix and it's more likely that I'll like it. I think I'll have to keep this series in mind, if I ever need another historical for a challenge. With that extra push, I'd jump on a book from this series. Without that push, idk that I would pick it up on my own. Not due to the skill of the writer at all, just because I personally need that push to pick up a historical feeling book. With a few exceptions to that rule.
I liked the mythology mixed in.
There is a ginger figging scene. Caught me off guard. Nice scene though.

*ARC from NetGalley for Honest Review*
Rating: 3/5 Stars
Would I read more from this Author? Possibly, depends on the book.
Heat Level: 3.5 to 4 out of 5
This is Book 2 yet SHOULD’VE been Book 1.
It was a good book but it seems to stretch in some sections of the book. The beginning didn’t really capture my attention as much as I had hoped, but after that I flowed pretty well.
Definitely loved the ending though very much!!

I read this book before reading the actual first book of the series, it made sense as first in series, I liked how the sad Herne the Hunter is awakened from his fifteen hundred year old existence as the leader Wild Hunt by Tam the rather naive young man who had been totally misled into his betrothal to a fairy maiden. It was my first dive into the historical mythology fantasy world and I am planning to visit some more.

Worthy of those 5 stars!!!
A must read MM Fantasy Romance... Unique and well written. I could not put it down!! Some BDSM but can be read by anyone who enjoys gay MM supernatural romance! It’s been awhile since I’ve enjoyed a book this much... You won’t be disappointed!

If only this book didn't have quite such a cheesy cover! In the story, Herne is very earthy, and hairy in all the right places. The waxed guy on the cover with the Xmas-style antlers is far from what Kay Berrisford so skillfully embodies, a figure from the pagan mythology of England's forests.
Because of its lovely settings, and the imaginative plot taking such rarely used elements, I really enjoyed the story. Admittedly, for my taste there was a tad too much sex to plot, but many other readers will probably relish that. The authentic, if rather painful, lack of good lubricants made me wince once or twice, but again, it fit with the setting of the story and was a price willing paid by Tam.
I look forward to reading the first book - Bound for the Forest, because for some reason I'm reading them in the wrong order. I think that should be ok, because they're set in different periods. The first book is set after the second, so hopefully I won't find any problems.

This was one of two books a brought because I was looking for an easy, fun read, and this one delivered exactly what I wanted. Good world-building, relatively interesting characters, and an interesting plot. My only complaint would be that I never had a moment of doubt of how it would turn out, and the tension only came from the how they would do that, and I figured out the answer to that about 3/4 of the way through the book. Also, I didn't really fall in love with the characters. They were relatively interesting, but if it had been magically deleted from my kindle, I wouldn't have agonised over it.

This was... as described. Herne the Hunter gets a boyfriend in Elizabethan England with whom to have much kinky sex, with the aid of the Fairies and the Goddess. It's kind of an odd premise (kind of???) but going with it, I did quite like the book. It's reasonably well-written, Celtic fantasy, although not all the author's/characters' kinks are mine.

I received a free ARC version of the book in exchange for a honest review. All critiques and opinions are my own.
This book is magic. It's written well and the characters are literally magic. Herne is the 'god' of the wild hunt and he wants to die. Tam is a mortal thats being but to death by his villiage. Together they find meaning in the world.
I honestly wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. The cover and description made me want to read but I can honestly say it was so well written I couldn't put it down.
The book is part of series but this book can be read as a stand alone. I do recommend reading the first book however.

When Brien returns to his childhood home to scrounge up something he can sell to settle his debts, he doesn’t expect to find a thief named Scarlet attempting to burn the place down. Scarlet considers Brien to be a traitor to the forest as he as abandoned his birthright. But all the legends Brien has shunned or dismissed as heathen tales are suddenly very real and very dangerous, much like his attraction to Scarlet.
This book takes the heavy kink of something like Take it All and ads a hefty dose of faerie lore. Brien and Scarlet’s will they/won’t they does go on a tad too long but they develop good chemistry so they may have been thrown together but they work. It’s when the book gets DEEP into its lore that could turn some people off. I personally loved the detailed world building around our main character’s sexual relationship.
And that relationship is intense, graphic, BDSM and some dubious consent. Not for the faint of heart.
This isn’t insta-love but it is insta-lust that becomes love later. If that’s your jam and you enjoy historical fantasy, this is a great outing! 3.9 out of 5.
