My men are doing everything in their power to keep me safe…and satisfied.
Nights full of burning passion, touches that set my skin on fire. These three men own every inch of my body and soul.

But at what cost?

Plot: 4/5 • Smut: 4/5 ———-> Reader beware this is not the last book. So if you’re anything like me and you’re going in with the mindset that this is the end. Sorry. We were set up.
This one navigated Everly learning some secrets after obtaining some items from the Thrope house. Unfortunately, most things by now are still unresolved. 😡 Some of it feels like we’re running in circles. However, there’s is some good! Griff and Chase finally announce their feelings for each other. So you know what that means? We had our fair share of MM. And I will always support when the boyfriends are boyfriends.
This ends on another Austin cliffy. Just like the last two. I also see that book 4 hasn’t been released. So, it being November of 2025… that’s disappointing.
After book 2 left us on a major cliff hanger we were left wanting! Needing to know more! Book 3 does not disappoint!
Ever Bound starts right where book 2 left off… with Morgan’s murder. It doesn’t take long for Heather to point an accusatory finger at Everly and Evan! They are quickly handcuffed and taken in for questioning. Chase is quick to call his dad to get the family lawyer’s on their way. They have the 2 out in under an hour. During all of this, Stella reveals that her cousin, Beau, is a BCI agent (Bureau of Caster Investigations), and asks if they want his help. They all agree.
Once Everly and Evan are both out… everyone agrees to meet back at the boys place… it’s there that Beau informs them that the BCI has been investigating the Thorpe’s and actually are hoping to team up with a few of the guys to break into The Thorpe’s place and retrieve a ledger. A plan unfolds and Everly is upset that it does not involve her. Chase and Griff help her come to terms with it. It’s also there that Beau’s presence ignites sparks/feelings/attractions in Chase and Griff they’d never experienced before and had never considered! Hot! 🥵
From there our story takes off on an incredible roller coaster of emotions and extreme spice with twists and turns you truly do not see coming! More of their powers are shown in this book, which is super exciting! The dynamic of our RH group explores new/exciting avenues! The spice level shot way way up! This book… no, this series… is a Must Read!!! Down side… CLIFFHANGER!!!! But I cannot wait for the 4th and final book to come out next year… Ever Mine!!!
After the heart-stopping cliffhanger of Book 2, fans were left craving answers—and trust me, Book 3 delivers in a big way!
**Ever Bound** picks up right where we left off, thrusting us into the chaos surrounding Morgan's shocking murder. Tensions rise as Heather quickly points fingers at Everly and Evan, leading to their swift handcuffing and intense questioning. Luckily, Chase springs into action, calling his dad to get their family lawyer involved, and they’re out in under an hour!
But that’s just the beginning! Stella drops a bombshell: her cousin Beau is a BCI agent (Bureau of Caster Investigations) and offers his help. The group is all in, ready for an epic showdown.
Back at their hideout, Beau reveals the BCI's investigation into the Thorpes and the audacious plan to break into their mansion and retrieve a crucial ledger. But here’s the twist—Everly, feeling left out and frustrated, must confront her feelings with Chase and Griff by her side. Sparks ignite as Beau's presence reveals a whole new side of Chase and Griff that they never saw coming—talk about steamy!
From there, the rollercoaster ride of emotions escalates, with spicy encounters and jaw-dropping plot twists that will leave you reeling! We get to see more of their powers, deepening the intrigue and pulling you further into their world. The dynamics of this RH group explore electrifying new avenues, and the spice level? Absolutely off the charts!
This book—and honestly, this entire series—is a MUST-READ! But be warned: that cliffhanger will have you on the edge of your seat, counting down the days until the release of **Ever Mine** next year!
“If I thought they would let me, if I thought I could get away with it, I would give myself over to the Thorpes if it meant keeping any of my loves safe.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
Woah..!!! The more she writes this series the better they get! This one is just as good as the first two of probably better. Can a plot get better in each book!? 🤔 asking for a friend lol 🤪 but I mean they are so good and all you want is more and more and moooreee. Listen the more KD writes the more in love I fall for her writing. There is so much to say about this book, my God it was so so good and I don’t want it to finish ever.
Well, if you are here is cuz you read the other two books, welcome back… The torture continues as our girl Everly continues to find answers and free herself from the Thropes and right behind her are her 3 amazing, delicious, gorgeous men fighting for her until the end. This books is beautiful, new love develops and is just so amazing to see this kind of love between four people and the way they fight for her is just wonderful. Their love is breathtaking and all you want is their HEA, and did Ms K did that!?NOOOO she didn’t cuz she likes to play with our feelings and give us cliffs after cliffs like c’mon 🙄 STOP IT and just let them be happy, they deserve it after everything Everly has been through.
But apart from the cliff 🙄, this books needs to be read by everyone. It is so well written and the development of the entire story gets better in each book. ADD it to your TBR, you won’t regret it.
Book 3 starts out dealing with the aftermath of Morgan's death. Are we sad? Not really. With her squeaky sidekick Heather pointing fingers at Everly and Evan, all hell is about to break loose.....
Everly and Evan get arrested and brought down to the station for questioning. Chase calls his dad to get the family lawyer on top of it, but they have some surprising help from Everly's friend Stella. Turns out her uncle works for the BCI and might be able to help. Uncle Beau shows up and he gets all sorts of hearts fluttering. Tall, dark and dreamy, check.
Chase begins to feel a certain way towards Beau. It doesn't help that Beau keeps hitting on him (confused). Griffin is just annoyed and can't stand Beau (scoff). Knox just wants all the help they can get (shrug.) When Chase realizes he's feeling an attraction to Beau, he starts to feel guilty. Is it just because of Everly that Chase feels this way or might there be another reason?
With Austin still M.I.A, the group is on their toes. Apparently he's still able to stalk them and send explicit photos of Everly and Knox together to prove a point. Beau agrees to help them find dirt on Austin's dad, Alaric and some other secrets are revealed. As for the ending... all I'm going to say is squirrels know all and they need to be taken more seriously. Can you say CLIFFHANGER?

WTF!!! No I could cry, lol. I started this series thinking it was only 3 books, then got to page 342 in book 3 and it hit me there’s no way it’s going to wrap up in 6 pages. So I’m stuck waiting on pins and needles for the last book! But I must say this series has really surprised me. Each book has gotten better and better and the buildup is just keeps getting more intense. I loved the new relationship building between Chase and Griff- that was unexpected- but very good surprise! And I’ve really enjoyed Chase’s humor throughout this series. The bond this group has and the friendships they’ve made with Celeste, Stella, Preston and Everly’s brother Even is a great bonus to the story. I’m kinda glad there was no extra ow drama in this book, and the little bit of drama that came from Beau was actually entertaining. I loved seeing Griff get worked up over seeing Beau flirt with Chase and the nicknames Griff had for Beau were funny. Another thing I especially liked was that when Everly received any threats, she never lied or tried to hide them from the guys. She told them immediately and I really liked that. One thing I’m really hoping to see in the last book is Knox’s mom really getting put in her place. I can’t wait to see how the ending to this awesome series comes together!
We pick up right where Ever Dark ended and you know the turmoil that happened there, so you're thinking...finally the book that'll give us exactly what we need after all that. But nope, what does KD do...she learns from the dang Cliffy Queen, @sadiewinchesterauthor and throws us off of a MASSIVE cliff as a surprise to say...oh guess what? There's gonna be another book. Excuse me, what?! Like how the heck am I going to recover from this chaos? I can't. I just can't. My head is like mashed potatoes right now. Ugh woman. What have you done to me?
Okay, I guess I can end my rant 🙄 clearly I'm not over it though lol. But this book is absolutely beautiful. The character development from book one until now is incredible and getting to see the raw love and passion these men have for Everly just warms my insides so much. Ohhh and when Evan and Everly finally get back their twinning-ness, ugh my heart! Watching him work with her is incredible.
Everly has been through enough KD, why are you doing this to her?! Let the poor woman have some solace...ugh. With that being said - DON’T STOP MOVING THOSE FINGERS BECAUSE I NEED THE CONCLUSION NOW!!!
After that massive cliffhanger we were left with in book 2, I was more than ready to dive into Ever Bound! As the final book in the trilogy, I expected that Smalls would have so much to wrap up and was anxious to see how she managed it - LITTLE did I know though - she had OTHER plans for this book!!! From start to finish I was on the edge of my seat - hungry for every new twist and turn, thirsty for every new detail or steamy/spicy exchange! A knot began to form when I noticed at about 75% in I was having alot answered, but gaining more questions at the same time, but thought it might just be a really explosive end all kinda deal! BUT HOLY COW - smalls totally nailed it with another explosive cliffhanger - this is no longer a trilogy and I was left mouth agape and starving for more. I cannot devour this quick enough!! Well written, multi-pov, more steam, more spice, more character building, more everything! New characters, new relationships, new hopes and desires - these books are great for the broad range of emotions Smalls makes you feel with/for each character and I CANNOT wait for the next book!!!

This was supposed to be a trilogy!!!! I’m soooooo upset!!! I thought I was going to get to read the end of the story, but noooooooo, now there is a book 4!! WTH??
Ok, rant over! Ever Bound even though it was not the end I was expecting, was a PHENOMENAL BOOK! Seriously, how does this series keep getting better? I mean, book 1 blew me out of the water and each book keeps raising the bar!!!
Things with Everly seem to just keep getting more chaotic. The guys are having some confusing times. Introductions of some new characters that cause some drama in the group. Evil antagonist that everyone would like to get their hands on. Family drama. Just so much going on! This book was just crazy!!!
This series has become one of my favorites! I love everything about it. The characters, the story, the drama, the spiciness, the insanity, and even the demented cliffhangers!
If you haven’t read this book, get on it. If you haven’t started this series, you are seriously missing out!!! You need to start it RIGHT NOW!! It’s just THAT good!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book picks up from the cliff hanger of book 2.
Everly and Evan are arrested being accused of a crime they didn’t commit. He men, best friend, and Beau (Stella’s cousin and BCI agent) race to solve the mystery and prove their innocence.
At the same time, we learn that Beau has been building a case against the Thorpe family for a while and has enlisted everyone to help attain every bit of evidence to end their crimes once and for all.
Through the story, we see how Everly and Evan’s relationship is mended and they grow closer as brother and sister. We also see the intimate relationship between Everly and her men evolve. As an added bonus, a new relationship starts to blossom (you’ll have to read to see!!)
I absolutely love everything about this book.
But….BUT!!!!! Not that cliffhanger!!!! 😭😭
Now I gotta wait for book 4…. I need this like….tomorrow please!!🙏
Ever Bound, was just what I needed to bring me out of a month long reading slump. K.D. Small's writing style pulls me right into the story along side the characters, one that entraps me with just one paragraph. Before, I even read the first page of Ever Bound, I new I was going to devour this story within one day. I have said this before, but if you are a fan of Tessa Hale, you'll love the Solis Lake Academy Series. I fell in love with these characters, when I read Ever Blue. The dynamics between these characters are chef's kiss, ones that will have you coming back for more. Ever Bound, had some twist and turns that I did not see coming, and I am excited to see how they play out in the final book in the series. How will our nemesis Austin fair, when Knox, Griff and Chase, finally, come face to face with him? Time will tell, and I am here for it. The cohesiveness of the storyline makes me a fan. If you are looking for the perfect paranormal RH, I definitely recommend Ever Bound. However, this book is NOT a standalone so you will have to start from the beginning with Ever Blue.
Totally went into this book thinking it was going to be the last one of the series. I was devastated to think about this story ending! However!!! There is a nice little twist and ends on a cliffhanger that I physically can not wait to see what happens!
This series is one of my favorites I've ever read! This book in particular I love that it explores Everlys relationships with her guys more one on one! I love how protective they are over her even when it comes to her family! This story has EVERYTHING! drama, romance, love, excitement, danger.. anything and everything you can think of!!! Excited to see what ends up happening with Everly and the guys ❤️ bravo on this one though!!

This book....this book! *shaking the book in the air* K.D you have got me in a chokehold this entire book! I was on my toes every page turn worried for our beautiful Everly. The way these men love her and care for her just makes my heart swoon for these. I wont lie Knoxy is my favorite. Maybe its the dark and brooding or the bells (hehe!) IYKYK! But girl! I thought this was it! So when I came to the last page, thinking I had more to go cause there's no way our wonderful author wouldn't end this wonderful series on a cliffhanger for life, YOU BROKE MY HEART! I don't want to wait to find out what happens with this group but girl you got me begging for some more! This book is a 4 out 5 for me and the only reason you lost the star was of how you left the ending!
Book 3 in this series! I love how her books literally continue where the last one ends.
📚dedication: For those seeking vengeance...your day of reckoning will come. In the meantime, ALWAYS check the card when you receive flowers.
‼️ Please check trigger warnings‼️
This book was great! We find out more on Everly's powers & her family's past. We discover new love between characters. Everly & her 3 men are still going stronger than ever so expect it to be spicy! Don't worry it still has a bunch of drama from start to finish. And I think we can agree how we absolutely hate the Trope family. Poor Everly can't catch a break from these psychopaths!
I cannot with these cliffhangers! I need to know what happens now!
Ever bound is book 3 in the Solis academy series. And yet again kd hasn't disappointed me. I've loved the way this plot has grown in leaps and bounds. The perfect storyline and love how kd has grown each character that you can't help but fall in love with them. The strength of love and devotion everly and each boy has is so special in each way. That not even been accused of murder can tear them apart. And Evan and Everly always stand strong together. I've enjoyed this roller-coaster ride I was like omw please don't let this be the end and yet again Kd hasn't disappointed us there will be book 4. Can't wait. Kd you knocked it out the park. This is a series I would have loved to see on the big screen.
Everly and her guys have A LOT to handle in this book. Searching for more answers, fighting off enemies, healing from the events that happened in the previous book, plus more questions popping up. We meet some new characters and have to decide if they can be trusted.
I enjoyed reading about Everly’s recovery. She still struggles emotionally and mentally with everything she’s dealt with so far. She has to lean on those who care about her, and she has a lot of personal development in this book.
There is a fair amount of spice in this one, and it’s paced well with the rest of the plot. The romantic aspects continue to grow and change. Between the angst, the spice, and the action-packed story, I couldn’t put this book down! It does have a cliffhanger but it’s worth the read 🩵
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶🌶🌶🌶 Trigger Warnings: Sexually Explicit Content Adult Language Arranged/Forced Relationship Stalking Murder (both off page and on page) Manipulation MM Snowballing DVP
Scorching!
K.D. really brings the heat in book three! I love that it picks up right where book two left off. Just like the previous books there is plenty of spice and this one is the spiciest yet. The storyline is still there looming in the background and popping up at the most inopportune times for the characters. I was surprised that the three book series will now be a four book series, but I am so here for it! A definite must read.
Welp I thought it was going to be a trilogy but nope K.D left off on another cliffhanger 😭😭 This book was good I couldn’t put it down. Just like the previous books this book has plenty of spice which is obvious with three sexy men. My favorite is still and always will be Knox 😍😍The plot and surprises throughout this book was so good then umm Chase & Griff well that was unexpected and I can’t wait to read what happens in the next book. Hopefully Austin gets what he deserves freaking creep.
🖤 Stalking 🖤 Manipulation 🖤 Adult Language 🖤 Unaliving 🖤 DP 🖤 Arranged/Forced 🖤 MM
I really dug these characters right away oh and absolutely loved the plottwists and cliffys.
I usually avoid academy reads, but this was interesting as was the magic system. How the MM is introduced didnt feel contrived just organic and natural.
Characters felt mature and not whiny. Nice for change to read about strong siblings & having some depth in the bestie relationships.
Author had quite a few players of relevance and I never lost track, reading easily 3 books over 2 days.....gosh I need book 4.
oh Im begging for a Novella on Ev & C's romance from their perspective.
Well, this is not a trilogy. The author has decided to continue this silly series. Book three exhibits total personality changes for most of the main characters. It remains a superficial story with little background or purpose. Again, the paranormal parts are superfluous and this could easily be a contemporary setting. Bi awakening, sex scenes after any event, weird light weight bdsm, every trope you can think of. Simply childish. It's similar to an outline of rh stories that needs fleshing out. Grammatically correct.
This book picks up right where Ever Dark ended, with the drama starting on page one. There's nothing like murder charges to start off a book! The characters grow and evolve, new characters are introduced, some answers are given. One of the biggest things is the cliffhanger... There's gonna be another book!! What was planned as a trilogy has now been expanded, and I am all for more of Everly and her guys. I loved every minute of this book and finished it in one day. I can’t wait for the next book!
I Am So In Love Can I just say I absolutely adore this series?! The characters are so incredibly written and developed and REAL (I mean except for the magical aspect lol). The relationship dynamics just keep building. There's a new character introduced here, and I absolutely fell in love with (CHEESE BOY!--just trust me on this one). I am so proud of the cliff (so worthwhile, trust me) and can't wait to get my hands on the next one!
These cliff hangers are killing me! Eves and her men have been through so much in just the past year. They finally start to find some normalcy with their relationships And continue to grow together. One of the people put to hurt Eves and her family is finally gone but one is still out to get her. The spicy is good and the strength of there relationships are amazing. I loved seeing the men grow together as well with some new feelings coming out. Highly recommend this series.
The third installment in the Solis Lake Academy series, Ever Bound by K.D. Smalls delivers a compelling mix of romance, fantasy, and suspense. This novel follows the protagonist as she grapples with newfound fire magic, personal losses, and the challenges of breaking a contract that ties her to a dangerous family. The story is infused with themes of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, featuring steamy romance and intense emotional moments. Highly recommend for those that love bi- love themes.
This is book 3 and it starts with the aftermath of Morgan’s death (which I did not shed a tear over). More of their powers are introduced.This book has twist and turns that I didn’t see coming, it is full of roller coaster emotions and SPICY HOT smut scenes. What I found enlightening and funny was the new dynamic between Beau, Chase and Griff that I didn’t see coming..
Absolutely obsessed with this series and read ever bound within days. I don’t want to give too much away, but the spice is spicing, the drama is 🔥, and ofc we are left on another CLIFFHANGER! K.D. Why do you have to do us dirty like that?!
But seriously, Everly, Knox, Chase & Griffs story is so beautiful and I loved every second of this book and can’t wait for book 4!!
I absolutely loved book three ! It totally did not disappoint me and had my attention every page u turned. I can't believe there's going to be a book 4( just found this out) I'm completely and utterly stoked to read what happens next because I'm way way too invested! Definitely easy five-star read! I'll totally be recommending this book to all my bookie friends!
I seriously cannot get enough of this book! This book kept me on my toes the entire time i was reading it. And the SPICY🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I loved it. I cannot wait for the next one! I seriously don’t want this series to end!
I am really enjoying this series, I do kind of feel like the magic is an afterthought. like if the magic disappeared from the story it wouldn’t change the plot if that makes sense but I am still really enjoying the world and the characters. Can’t wait for book 4
