One reluctant Mistress who inherits a fortune
Two Pitch-Blood Kindred warriors on the brink of death
When Lexi rescues Bound and Gaze will she allow herself to be…Bonded by Two?


Lexi doesn’t know if she can handle a huge Kindred warrior who needs blood to survive…let alone TWO of them! But that’s what she gets when she finds Earth Bound and Star Gazer for sale at the Down Market bodyslave bazaar. Gaze and Bound are Pitch-Blood Kindred and they’re about to die from lack of blood. Unable to ignore their suffering, Lexi buys them and gives them a drink…but now what does she do with them?

Gaze and Bound have been looking for the perfect female all their lives. When Lexi shows up and rescues them, they fall in love with the curvy Elite with the creamy brown skin at once. Unfortunately, their new Mistress comes from Zetta Prime—a planet where males and females don’t mix. The idea of bonding with the two of them is completely alien to her.

But the pull of instant attraction is strong between the three of them. Did they form a partial bond when Lexi gave the two big warriors her blood at the same time? And will she realize that she loves them before it’s too late? Because whether Lexi wants to admit it or not, she needs protection right now. A cruel Mistress and her evil vat-grown creation are stalking her and only Bound and Gaze can protect her.
Will she allow herself to be…Bonded by Two?

So sweet!
This had one of the most satisfying villain deaths amongst the kindred tales I've read lately. The ending and epilogue delivered. 5 star kindred tale.

I really liked Alexa character. She is so strong willed and compassionate even against a while society that thinks differently. I love Gaze and Bound dynamic with Alexa... the instant connection. As always great world building. I really love when we hear about these different versions of kindred ans especially the pitch blood kindred. The story was so good and can't wait for the next one.

Bonded by Two, Evangeline Anderson’s latest offering, looks at the age-old question: what happens when an unstoppable rock hits an immovable object. Make that two rocks in this case. The two rocks are Pitch-Blood Kindred Earth Bound and Star Gazer. Unlike other mixed Kindred, these two Pitch-Blood Twin Kindreds must drink blood and have the fangs to prove it. The problem is they have been raised by a stern grandfather on Tranc Prime as Blood Kindred only. All their lives he had ranted against the Twin Kindred, even though their fathers had been Twin Kindred. They knew nothing about being Twin as well as Pitch Blood and had never shared a female. The immovable object is Alexa (Lexi) from Zetta Prime, a planet where males and females don’t mix, ever. Future generations are determined by artificial insemination and all babies are females. The very idea of being with a male is alien to the residents. Males do exist there, but the females know the male is the weaker sex, a less-than person.
Lexi has traveled to Yonnie Six to receive an inheritance left her by her Great Aunt Granipants. Not only had she inherited a fortune, but she also inherited the tallest building right in the middle of downtown Opulex, making her extremely wealthy. Bound and Gaze are also on Yonnie Six after being drugged and kidnapped from another planet and brought to the city as slaves.
On Lexi’s first trip outside, she saw a Mistress walking behind a group of leashed slaves, all wearing pain collars while she used her pain prod on them. She was Mistress Crueltongue who purchased slaves to work in her toxic mines. During their confrontation, Lexi and she became instant adversaries.
Now we have two rocks, an object, and a despicable Yonnite Mistress who causes the two forces to come together. How bad can this impact be? That explosion kept me with my nose in this book until I got to the end. I expected to find a gentle ending, but I was definitely wrong! This novel had me hooked.
Often I can figure out the end of Ms. Anderson’s novels because I’ve read so many. But that wasn’t the case with this one. I found the steamy, sexy scenes I expected, and I should have known by the rock vs. object analogy this one wasn’t going to have the ending I expected. Bonded by Two is a keeper, a book you won’t be disappointed with. I know that’s how I felt when I finished it.

Oh my goodness!
I Loved, loved, loved this book!
From the first page I knew Lexi was my kind of gal. The determination to do what was right, the courage and ability to take action before it was too late had me rooting for her. The fact that she is also a woman of curves also made my day.
I had quite the chuckle at a few of the names in this book as well and that, my friends is what made it, if possible, that much better.
The level of heat between Lexi, Gaze and Bound who are Pitch -Blood Twins, was off the charts! I mean seriously nowhere near the charts. They are close in relation to the Kindred from earlier books and we all know, those who have read them, how much the males love, protect and respect the females in their lives. Their mates sent to them by Fate herself. Fate is a VERY wise woman, and she knows who the males and their mates need to make their lives complete. Which is not all surprising to those who love Ms. Anderson's work.
The characters, their situations, reactions, ideas and story are so well thought out.
The aforementioned heat between the three main characters, causes the need for a fan while reading.
Also though is the love and caring Bound and Gaze have for Lexi and she for them. A true love story with quite a bit of fun, sexy times mixed in.
I will admit one more thing that won't give things away. I would just like to say that I got great satisfaction from how a certain person was taken care of.

5/5 cupcakes

This is a fantastic book. It’s well written and has great characters, world building and storyline. It’s full of steamy scenes, rescues, action and has a happily ever after ending.

Lexi is on Yonnie six after her great aunt left her some inheritance, a tower building and a lot of credits. When she witnesses male body slaves being mistreated she vows to rescue as many males as she can to either put the female out of business or make her use robots in her deathmines. That’s how she came to rescue Bound and Gaze, although they are different from others she has saved. They are twin blood kindred, they need blood to survive. She offers her blood as they are both close to death but then something strange happens. Lexi is from a planet where females don’t have physical relationships with males, instead they are artificially inseminated if they want children. So the desire she feels is new and strange to her. Later when she touches them both at the same time they all feel a sudden desire. The males think they know why but they grew up being told twin kindred sharing a female was wrong. When Lexi tells them about the other mistress and her deathmines they agree to pose as her bodyslaves in order to get an audience with the ruling council. Turns out they really do need to protect her from the other mistress as she’s out for blood. Bound and Gaze are determined to protect Lexi at all costs, their bond means they can do no less, but they plan on keeping Lexi as their mate, as long as they can convince her anyway.

A simply wonderful addition to series, wonderful read filled with great characters and plot

This was a simply wonderful read and I loved this simply fantastic collection of characters and wonderful story and I have to say that once you start reading this amazing book you will find these amazing characters as simply riveting read that has more excitement than you can possibly imagine.

Lexi, Gaze and Bound are totally riveted and it is simply amazing the level of heat and interaction between these Blood Kindred and the human they have all taken a great attraction to. The level of heated interaction between this trio certainly holds your attention when you are reading this sexy book.

This story will hold your attention and you will be totally blown away by these wonderful characters and as always Evangeline has written another story that has held your attention fully and has totally blown you away so that you will not be able to put this book down until you read this wonderful book.

Bonded by Two was a fun immersion back into the Kindred world. For those new to this series the Kindred are an alien race that worship a Goddess and revere women.

It was quite the journey for the three main characters to be able to overcome their up-bringing and mind sets. I really enjoyed that Lexi was an independent entrepreneur and forged her own way. Bound and Gaze are Kindred Warriors, but they seemed more relatable as they both run a shipping company. All three were down-to-planet characters that made them more endearing.

This story is full of creativity and some tongue-in-cheek humor. I loved that the heroine, Lexi, worked so hard to help others and in doing so made herself irresistible to those around her, especially Bound and Gaze.

It should be no surprise that a Kindred novel would end with a HEA, but the real enjoyment was reading about the adventures that the three characters endured together.

Bonded by Two is a great addition to the Kindred series. Hopefully Lexi, Bound, and Gaze will pop in from time to time in other stories.

Did they even kiss?

Alright boys and girls. I'm back with another review of one of my favorite series, Kindred Tales/Brides of the Kindred. This book title is, "Bonded by Two Kindred".
Overall a great story. A girl with ties to Yonnie Six and their Mistresses takes on a humanitarian mission to prove a point and to be able to say, "Yup I did it. Ha ha ha!" To her nemesis.
Technically the book is well written but had quite a few typos. It didn't detract from the story so all's good.
Now, honestly the only time I felt any true character emotion was between the two Mistress's as they argued or when the heroine conducted events for her mission. Emotions between heroine and Heroes really didn't get any feels except her flipping out over suddenly having teenage hormonal problems if you know what I mean. That was all there was between the h&Hs. What is most shocking I cannot remember a scene where they kissed on the mouth. To me that indicates a lack of true intimacy and emotion.
This was another review by CNG,INC.
These are my opinions. Don't like 'em? I don't care. I love this author so I still recommend reading her books.
CIAO!

Bonded By Two- Kindred Tales 41 - Evangeline Anderson

An new kind of Kindred, Pitch blood Kindred which are also half twin Kindred find themselves being auctioned off at the slave market on Yonnie Six. Earth Bound and Star Gaze have been captured and abused since their capture and additionally will die if they don’t get the blood they need to survive, especially since one of them has been shot.
The two are rescued and bought by Alexa, who had inherited a fortune from her great aunt. She is on Yonnie 6 to settle her great aunt’s estate and she is appalled by the way slaves are treated, she also helps save one of the twins by giving him some blood. This somehow creates a partial bond.
The crazy inhabitants and rules are cause for some crazy scenes, hilarious and scary mistresses, on their way to fighting for their freedom. They develop a true love and trust along the way. Although shocking at times whenever we find the stories on Yonnie 6, this was an exciting, heart string tugging, humorous at times, adventurous and dangerous, very sensual and enlightening as they embark on their road to a well deserved HEA.

4.00 Stars. (BW alien/ 2 WM aliens) I borrowed this audiobook from my local library via Hoopla, the book is narrated by Mackenzie Cartwright. The heroine, Lexi, is from Zella Prime , a planet populated by women and because of their destine for men, they procreate using artificial insemination for sexual pleasure they enter into lesbian relationships or use sexual toys. Lexi is a virginal bi-racial Zella Prime citizen who thinks males are worthwhile beings who should not be treated badly. After settling and accepting her inheritance on the planet where her wealthy aunt lived, Lexi rescues Gaze and Bound from dying a torturous death. The heroes, Bound and Gaze are Pitch Blood Kindreds, a bi-racial parental mix between a Blood and a Twin Kindred. Bound is the forceful dark twin and Gaze is the gentle light twin. Soon after meeting, Lexi allows Gaze and Bound to feed from her vein and while helping Gaze bathe an injured Blood the three touch each other at the same time and these occurrences spark the urge to fully bond. With the help of the One Mother the trio overcome Lexi's skepticism, foil a deadly encounter and bond. Lexi, Bound and Gaze are now a happy family.

Another Evangeline Anderson story from the Kindred world. This one is again very different than others - it takes place on Yonni Six again, but involves a woman from Zetta Prime (the planet where there are only women and no men) and two Kindred that were kidnapped on Yonni Six and sold as body slaves. They are not only Blood Kindred, not only Twin Kindred, but a different type that also need blood to survive. Lexie sees some men being abused on Yonni Six and decides to spend her inheritance on saving body slaves that are being used to mine gases and die in the mines. She meets Gaze and Bound and while they are clearly mates (to us), she's been raised not needing or wanting men in her life, and the twins were raised as Blood Kindred, and aren't comfortable with the standard Twin Kindred experience of sharing one mate. Meanwhile there is an evil mistress who is using the body slaves to mine her gases, and ends up getting revenge on Lexie, while Gaze and Bound are racing to save her. Another fun space opera by Anderson

Homerun!

Let me just say...WOWWW!!!! I adore the Kindred series' and especially the pitch blood Kindred. Now she introduced us to Earth Bound and Star Gaze who are half twin Kindred and half Blood Kindred, with the rare genetic anomaly of being "pitch blood" also. They are captured beaten, Bound is shot and they're thrown into the market on Yonnie Six. They're being sold to go to the death mines when they're rescued by Alexa, who just inherited a major fortune from her great aunt, Granipants. Alexa takes them home with her with plans to send them to the rescue center and clinic she set up to help males escape the cruel world of Yonnie Six. Do you think she will be able to? Or will with the twins prove they're meant to be together with her forever? Read Bound By Two to find out! You'll enjoy it! 😉

Bonded by Two

This latest book in the Kindred Tales series was so good. Alexa is from Zetta Prime, a female populated planet where males are not needed or wanted. Gaze and Bound are Pitch Blood Twin Kindred/Beast Kindred hybrids who were raised on Tranq Prime as Beast Kindred by their grandsire who did not want them living as Twin Kindred and sharing a female. When the two Kindred warriors are drugged and sent to a slave market on Yonnie Six, they were bought and rescued by Alexa who happened to be on Yonnie Six to settle her great aunt's estate. Not being a mistress, Alexa appalled by the goings on and was determined to save other slaves from a certain death and therefore creates a very dangerous situation for herself because of it. In this reverse mistress/slave relationship it was so great to see it the other way. I loved it.

Lexi is an heiress that is on a mission to free captured men from death mines. She buys Bound and Gaze and saves them from certain death and they then become her protectors and have to prove a very timid Lexi that they are fated mates and meant to be. So it's a reverse harem kind of deal (which is not my usual fare) but
it didn't turn me off of the trope.
The brothers are twin kindred warriors more accurately blood kindred, they have fangs and need to drink blood to survive. Yeah, so kind of vampirey. So of course, they have to drink from their mate, right? Yes, yes, they do.
This book didn't take itself too seriously at all, it was a fun, quick, little cheesy and entertaining read to get lost in for a few hours.

Love that the heroine is POC, brown skin, is voluptuously curvy, wealthy and the setting is on an alien planet in space.

I listened to the audible version of Bonded by Two and this standalone story did not disappoint. This story was just as steamy as the previous books in the Kindred Series. This story gives us Alexa, Bound and Gaze story. Alexa finds herself in a fight to save slaves after witnessing their mistreatment. However, on that planet men are considered lower than and are treated as such, but Alexa tries to save as many as she can. She never expected to feel differently around Bound and Gaze, but their interactions lead to more and soon all three of them are experiencing feelings they have never felt before. Bound and Gaze knows Alexa is their bonded, they just have to make her realize that what they feel is right and she belongs with them. This story has enemies, threats, deaths, steamy scenes, action and ends with a happy and new location for this couple.

Okay so to be clear, we all know that Evangeline Anderson writes amazing books right? Well if you thought that before reading this…. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET. Easily a new favourite book! This story was so refreshing and after reading EVERY SINGLE KINDRED BOOK, I am genuinely surprised on how she continues to write new, engaging and suspenseful storylines while staying true to the character. The heroine was my absolute favourite out of all of them! A true example of putting people before herself. Listen… if you don’t buy this book, you are missing out on greatness and trust me, you’ll thank me later!

This is exactly the kind of love story you expect from Evangeline. Lexi is trying to stop a tortuous slave trade, and while doing so ends up saving twin Kindred that had been captured and sold. Lexi buys them to save them both and takes them home to help them heal. That's when the bond begins between the three of them. As with all the male kindred, their main priority is taking care of their woman. The twins help Lexi in her quest to stop the slavery and while doing so, they fall in love with her. Along with some steamy scenes, the development of their love is a great story. I enjoyed this as I enjoy all of Evangeline's work.

Another fantastic addition to the Kindred series. This story will set you on a amazing adventure. Of seeing three main characters overcome their up bringing and mind sets. But I can't help feeling a little sentimental nothing touches my heart more than seeing like minded souls finding one another and working together to help each other attain their heart's desire. Overall a great read can't wait for the next book in this series. I received a free copy via Booksprout and as always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.

A new story of kindred and the one female that will save them. Alexa was brought up on a world with no males. But now she finds herself a reluctant mistress on a planet that males are used as slaves. Bound and Gaze are a special and unique type of kindred. Pitch-blood twins that make it almost impossible to find their mate. But the goddess will have a hand in so many things this time as the twins will find an Angel in Alexa and she will find what she didn’t know was missing. The story has a strong plot of trying to help and save those enslaved but it also is filled with romance.

Bonded by two is a fantastic piece of writing. As usual, Evangeline Anderson has done an outstanding job.
The story has intrigue, heartbreak, suspense and a super helping of sexiness and hotness.
Lexi is our heroine. She doesn't fit into Yonnie Six society but is there because she has inherited property from her aunty.
Bound and Gaze are Kindred and agree to help put a stop to the death mines.
The question is whether they can all work together and not only survive the dangers of their mission but the scorching heat and temptation of the three of them together.

It's a cute and silly book, a great read if you have some time for a book that doesn't take too much from you.
Our lady had the fortune to inherit a lot of money from an aunt she never knew and as the bleeding heart she is she goes fully into a cause to save the less fortunate males bound to go to the mines to die in a few days. She buys two men, injured and starved, for an astounding sum of money and then starts looking for more trouble. Meanwhile, we have fun while she has fun with those two males.
Not much more to say, I had the feeling for chicken soup for the soul while reading.

Lexi inherited this building and fortune on a planet with totally opposite morals to her own. She helped rescue two Kindred destined for certain death. The twins were looking for a woman to share as per their needs as twin Kindred, whereas she was from a planet with no men. How will they cope with what is needed for their healing and what she needs to achieve her own mission?
This was a fun, out of this world story, totally entertaining and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I liked this twist on the twin Kindred, adding yet another branch to the “family”. While this story had all the usual elements that I would expect from a Kindred tale, the ending and was lightning fast and very dramatic. The character of Karnivore and his “brethren” was really creepy and certainly led to a nightmarish and exciting ending.

Nothing is more heartwarming than when like minded souls find one another and work together to help each other attain their heart's desire.
Lexi, Bound and Gaze naturally were attuned to what the others needed, even if it went against what was meant to be.
A beautiful tale of love beginning and having faith in knowing what is right for yourself.
Plenty of adventure with hot and spicy times to curl your toes!

It took a bit for me to get into the story in all honestly. I’ve always been and always will be a fan of the kindred series, I’ve been reading since the beginning. Twin and Blood kindred have been favorites for a long time and have this hybrid is awesome. I love the characters and once I got through the beginning I fell in love with the story. Great read!

Wonderful Book

Three innocent people, made to feel shame over their natural desires. They wind up on the female dominated planet, Yonnie Six. The heroine went to collect an inheritance, the twins went involuntarily. Together, the three will face a sadistic mistress. I loved the heroes and heroine. I hate Yonnie Six and their cruelty to men. But I loved the outcome and how the book ended. Great book.

I think the shine has finally worn off for me and the kindred. How many planets force our heroes and heroines to dress in outfits that show all there sexy bits!? And/or force them to have sex in public? I mean… so many perverted planets!😆
I like the hard core sex and some of the characters but… we need different reasons for these couples to get together besides being pushed into it by over sexualized alien planet cultures.

Knockout- Everytime

Can I tell you, I love the Kindred series! It doesn’t matter where you start. The books are amazing! It’s better if you start at the beginning because the characters have recurring parts and the society grows with each story. Personally, I gotten so far out I have to download the lists and then check out what I have and haven’t read. Most of the time trying to figure out how I missed some. Overall, take a chance you won’t regret it.
