Fae Bound

by Aspen Winters, Verity Inkwell

Changelings are well known in lore. Fae take the human child and leave their own behind. But nobody has told the story of what happens to the human child taken. My name is Amelie le Fae, and I am a human Changeling. High King Oberon declared long ago that Changelings had to marry and stay within the realm. I’m a bit of a different case. I was born a witch, and being brought to the Underground realm only increased the potency of my magic. Unfortunately, Oberon had a clause ready for Changelings like me. Upon our three-hundredth birthday, we must be bound to no less than three mates. Every fae in the Underground would give their left leg for the chance to be bound to a witch. The problem is, I want love. So, I’ve kept my magic hidden from suitors for two-hundred and ninety-nine years. I’m running out of time.

This had a very simple plot, very little world-building, and basically no character development. But it was still a fun little sexy romp. Amelie needs to find no less than 3 men to marry in the next few days. Because, despite having had 300 years to do this, she's waited until the last moment and not even bothered to learn anything about the requirement. (She's 300, but this still reads like YA. Partly because of her lack of concern or knowledge about her own situation, but also because of the sort of interactions the characters have with their parents.)

Luckily, all she has to do is stand still and the men will throw themselves at her and, like any good fairy-tale, only the right ones will stick. Nothing in this was believable—yes, I know it's fantasy, but even fantasy has to meet the suspension of disbelief threshold, and this doesn't. But, again, it's an enjoyable read anyway, if you're willing to just let it be silly.

It is oddly in-explicit in the sex though. So, don't go in looking for high steam. It's not quite fade to black, but the sex scenes just aren't particularly full or robust.

The book ends on a cliffhanger. But being only 148 pages, I feel like there really wasn't any need to break this up into multiple books, except that that seems to be the thing to do lately.

All in all, not a finely crafted piece of literature. But there is an innocent joy to it that makes me interested in continuing. The 5 characters basically meet, decide they're a family now, and go about being good to one another. There is something to be said for that.

This book is absolutely incredible! I love that the main character has a backbone (don’t have many of those) but I also love how the authors create personalities that not matter the situation in the book I can always tell which character is which; especially with the guys.
I’m in love with this world they have created with the different types of species and magic and I cannot wait till the next book.

That cliffhanger made me scream! Can’t believe how fast I finished the book, that’s how good it is!!

Love the characters! The men all have super distinct personalities, and the plot is pretty good too! The romance aspect could go a little slower, but there were actually pretty good reasons behind it! And honestly, with guys that hot, who can blame a girl!

Also- dick move to post a 2 star rating before the book has even come out. Seriously.

*Spoiler Alert*
Magic-Touched Changeling Amelie (FMC) has to bond with mates thats will help her stabilize her magic. Potential men Dragons - Meurig & Gideon, Prince Cal and her guard & protector Anwyn are all in the running for that privilege. Magic, Dragons, Fae, laughs, Hot men and plenty of sexy times make for a brilliant read. I loved it. With that ending im dying for the next book

Big hot men anyone????

This is a cute RH story. With fae and dragons and witches im hooked. I love the mix of paranormal this story has. The only thing I hated was the cliff dive at the end. This author is great with cliff hangers that will make you run for the next book. The mark of a truly talented author, to have you want to binge the whole story at once.

Absolutely loved this! Could not put it down. Loved the concept and what a cliffhanger! The dragons leave you hot under the collar but really enjoyed the complexity with all the love interests. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

Didn't like it at all.

It was juvenile and slow burn...
Meh
