Bound to the Wulfric Beast

Rate this book
A shy eighteen-year-old’s life goes from boring to beastly when he encounters a dangerously alluring werewolf in the Arcane Falls forest. If he wants to live through the night, he’ll have no choice but to surrender to the Wulfric Beast’s hedonistic demands. 


_______


Alex Wulfric can’t catch a break.


He’s a virgin.


He’s developed extremely inappropriate feelings for his supremely hot uncle.


And oh yeah, his family is supposedly descended from werewolves.


No one knows about the first. A few people are aware of the second, but everyone in Arcane Falls is celebrating the third.


Tonight is the Wolf Moon celebration at Wulfric’s Vows & Howls Pub, and as family tradition dictates, Alex, now eighteen, will venture into the dark forest to meet the Wulfric Beast.


Not that Alex actually believes in the family curse or the existence of werewolves.


But the legend proves true when he encounters an alluring beast with a seductive voice who plans to dominate and devour him. In order to survive the night, Alex has no choice to surrender to the werewolf’s terrifyingly hedonistic demands, even if it means belonging to the Wulfric Beast forever.

DAMN. THIS. BOOK. 😮‍💨🔥 Arcane Falls, you sneaky little town, what the hell are you putting in the water?! Because once again, Kaitlyn Ash has delivered a book that had me completely hooked from start to finish. 😮‍💨🔥

And yes, taboo lovers, this one is for YOU. 👀

I am officially lowkey obsessed with this book. Honestly, Bound to the Wulfric Beast was everything I was hoping for and more. Arcane Falls never misses, and this was exactly the taboo fix I'd been looking for. I went in expecting hot forbidden tension (which, don't worry, this book has in abundance 🥵), but I was not prepared for how obsessed I would become with the Wulfric family.

This time, we get to meet the Wulfrics and OH. MY. GOD. What a chaotic, lovable bunch. 😍 I honestly fell for every single one of them, but Alex completely stole my heart. Sweet, awkward, and charming, Alex is both excited and terrified about taking part in his family's Wolf Moon tradition after turning eighteen, despite not fully believing the stories he's grown up hearing. I adored him from page one. 🥹💙

And then there's Uncle Beau...

Listen. LISTEN. 🥵 Uncle Beau is HOT hot hot, and honestly, after meeting him, it's little wonder Alex had the thoughts he did. The chemistry between these two was absolutely feral. Every interaction crackled with tension, and when things finally exploded? Lord have mercy. 🌶️🔥

THIS BOOK IS HOT. Like seriously, grab a fan, some ice water, and maybe alert your local fire department because when the spice hits? IT HITS. 🌶️🥵 But what really got me was the tenderness between Alex and Beau. Underneath all the scorching hot moments was so much emotion, vulnerability, and genuine affection that I couldn't get enough. 💕

But you know what really made this book stand out for me?

THE LORE. 👏🐺

I was absolutely enthralled by all the traditions, secrets, family history, and little hints scattered throughout the story. Some of those Wolf Moon traditions were definitely... an eyeful. 👀😂 And don't even get me started on all the breadcrumbs Kaitlyn Ash dropped because excuse me, I need answers immediately. That ending?? Really?? Now I have to sit here patiently (read: not patiently at all) waiting for book two?! 😭

Also, can we discuss Daddy Theo and Owen because excuse me?! The tension was tensioning, and I need their book immediately. IMMEDIATELY. 😮‍💨

And Nana? Icon. Legend. Absolute menace. I adored her. 😂

Arcane Falls officially owns my soul at this point, and I'm not even mad about it. If you love taboo romance, family drama, chaotic characters, delicious tension, and fairy-tale-esque lore with a seriously spicy twist, you need this book in your life. 🖤🐺✨

*I received a complimentary copy of this book but this is my honest and voluntary review!*

This is a Tab00 story with 🩸 Uncle/Nephew so if that's not your thing then I suggest you skip this one....and if it is....😈

🌶🌶🌶🌶

Alex's family is said to be descended from werewolves. It's a legend that his family has leaned into over the years and is known through the town. What the town doesn't know is that this isn't just some Legend and every year on the Wolf Moon anyone in the family who has turned 18 must go into the forest and make an....offering...to the Wulfric Beast and well you guessed it Alex turned 18 over the summer and he is this years guest of honor. Now Alex's Dad and Uncle and Cousin have all been through this and not every tale is a good one but Alex is curious by nature and well he just can't back down now so off he goes! What we get here is something way deeper then I was expecting and I couldn't put this down until I got answers! But then those answers gave me more questions and now there is a mystery afoot!! I love LOVED this 🖤 I'm really hoping Theo and Owen get their HEA in book 2 because I was lowkey becoming obsessed with them through the story! I love coming back to Arcane Falls and this time was no different Kaitlyn out did it with this one!!

This book was seriously hot and left me desperate for more!

The story follows Alex during his family's annual Wolf Moon celebration, a tradition that takes place after every Wulfric turns eighteen. As part of the ritual, he's sent alone into the forest to meet the mysterious Wulfric Beast. Alex doesn't believe the family legends for a second... until he comes face-to-face with a very real werewolf.

The majority of the story takes place over that one unforgettable night, with a short glimpse into what comes afterwards. It makes for a fast-paced read that wastes absolutely no time getting to the action.

The chemistry between Alex and the Wulfric Beast is instant, intense, and incredibly hot. I loved the blend of paranormal lore, the possessive dynamic, and the mystery surrounding the Beast. This book pulled me into the world and leave me wanting more by the time I reached the end.

While I wouldn't call this a dark romance, it does touch on some darker themes, so I'd definitely recommend checking the content warnings before diving in if you have any triggers.

Overall, this was a fun, steamy introduction to the series, and I'm already looking forward to seeing what Arcane Falls has in store next!

Welcome back to Arcane Falls! While this can be enjoyed as a standalone, there are other books in the Arcane Falls universe that establish some of the world building but it is not required to do any previous reading before this one.

It’s uncle x nephew, shifters, age gap romance with some non/dubcon so be aware going into this one. I thought it was done well considering that can be tough trope for some readers. I’m definitely looking forward to Owen and Theo’s storyline which will be the second book in this series!

Alex is about to learn about the legend of the Wulfric beast, something that’s been in his family for generations. He never thought it was real but couldn’t help his curiosity until it’s his turn the enter the woods and he quickly learns just how real the family legend really is! He should be scared, but when he learns who the Wulfric beats really is … his whole world is turned upside down.

If Kaitlyn writes it, I read it. That's where I'm at LOL

I ate this up - Loved all the tropes and the great mix of taboo with romance and a full story!! (a lot of taboo tend to be shorter, more erotica works - which I'm reading plenty of and enjoying too - but this gives me romance, plot, an overall story, and a relationship!)

Warnings for taboo - both in the pairing, and with noncon at the start of things.

I really love Arcane Falls and this whole world that Kaitlyn has created. It's a safe haven for taboo couples - and literally every story has been great. We had some tentacles so now we have wolf shifters, and even a few more surprises that I wasn't expecting!

(Look, Kaitlyn is writing a taboo Beauty and the Beast retelling and this helps set things up for that I think so I am HERE FOR IT)

Also I can't wait for the next book in the series - this time with the other two family members. I just love this world so much!

Werewolf shifter tab00 romance? Ummm... YES, PLEASE!

Y’all I seriously cannot get enough of Arcane Falls. Kaitlyn has created a town where any and everything goes and it is utter perfection and completely addictive. The town and all of its quirky residents live rent free in my head.

So when I found out she was adding shifters to the mix, I was stoked and this book absolutely delivered!

The tension between Alex and his uncle Beau was hot! And the secret longing had me completely hooked from chapter one. Then add in all the secrets, and the ongoing storyline and this was an easy five star read for me. It was impossible to put down.

Trust me when I say that I will blindly follow Kaitlyn anywhere in Arcane Falls she leads me.

I just KNEW I was going to love this book and couldn’t wait for it to be released! And I want wrong! I absolutely loved the world-building and the Arcane Falls lore. Learning about the Wulfric family as Alex does was so good! And Uncle Beau 🔥 damn.
I know this is a taboo story and if uncle/nephew isn’t for you then that’s okay, but this book WAS SO MUCH MORE. It was mysterious, enthralling and interesting. I need Owen and Theo’s story so bad- and not just for their love story but to know more about Arcane Falls! What’s the deal with the Mayor? So many questions!!!

I love reading stories that are retellings of classic tales, and this one is a dark MM, taboo take on Beauty and the Beast. Kaitlyn Ash never disappoints, and I can't wait to read the next story in this world.
If you're planning to read this book, I definitely recommend checking the content warnings beforehand.

Y'all. This was so GREAT. I need more paranormal taboo books in my life. 👏🏻 Uncle Beau was everything I wanted and needed. And I loved him and Alex so much. And I cannot WAIT for Theo and Owen's book!

I get so excited everything I read a book set in Arcane Falls. I'm obsessed with the town and want 8265 more books.

Thank you, Kaitlyn, for always creating such wonderful stories and characters. 🫶🏻

I love the paranormal twist in our already beloved Arcane Falls tab00 world. What a great way to bring shifters and sexy shifted times into an already existing contemporary tab00 world. The secrets, the lore, and the world-building was so fascinating.

Uncle Beau x nephew Alex wooooooyeeeee. The tension, chemistry, and wholesomeness omg it was perfect!

All the side characters were wonderful as always and makes me curious for the next book! Really hoping Theo and Owen are next.

Bound to Wulfric Beast by Kaitlyn Ash was so good. This is an uncle/nephew taboo book. I love akaitlyn Ash books. I love her Arcane Falls series. The werewolf/town lore was great too.💙

This was a great twist and spin on Beauty and The Beast. The chemistry between Alex and Unlce Beau was so hot. 🔥🥵🫠🥰🫠

I felt the chemistry, the romance and the heat but there was also nice mix of tenderness involved too.
Alex and Baeu stole my heart.

I'm excited for the next book in the series. I we amsee more Daddy Theo and Owen they were hot to together too. 🥰🥵

I received an ARC of this book. This is my honest opinion.
