Kaito doesn’t believe in peace. His pulse, his breath, his life all orbit violence. He fights because it’s all he knows. Until he meets someone who looks at his ruin and calls it beautiful.
How to Bind a Monster is the second book of the Kinky ABC Anthology, a collection of stand-alone stories where each letter explores a different kink. In this book, ‘B is for Bondage. Each book can be read on its own, but together they form an unapologetic alphabet of fun. So enjoy.
Not sure if it’s a “microtrope” or genre or trope but I love heat and heart in books. That perfect blend of character depth AND spice.
J De Saint takes Kaito through it! From being a live wire in need of direction and true companionship and understanding. He needed someone to see what he needed and provide it in a safe and loving place.
I could read a full length novel like this, the journey of an angry brat to an understood brat is a favorite of mine.
This book is a delightfully quick read but with a full 4character arc.
Oh and hey… it’s both super spicy and bloody.
Just, utter perfection this book.
For a comp… if you read Roe Horvat and wanted it a bit darker than.. try this book!
I quite enjoyed the story J. was able to create in so little pages. The trust, obedience, and surrender they were able to form was beautiful to witness. A perfect yin & yang. Shibari is such an elegant & peaceful practice and J handled it with such care.
