Publisher's Summary

Four beastly princes. One awkward bookworm. An enchanted world of fae, magic, and danger.

I’ve always loved fairytales. I never imagined I'd actually be in one.

When my father wanders into the enchanted realm of the fae, I know I have to go after him. And when he gets imprisoned, I'll do anything to save him, even trade my freedom for his. I had no idea I'd end up imprisoned by four sexy fae who turn into beasts at night.

I have to win my freedom, and that means making a bargain with them. They must find their mates in order to break the curse. If I can help them do that, they'll set me free. Sounds simple, right?

It's not. Because against my better judgment, I'm starting to fall for these beastly princes. One is smart and sweet, the other mysterious and deadly, another flirty and confident. The last prince is handsome, strong, has a wicked temper, and is dead-set against breaking the curse. Why does he want to keep me here forever?

But it's not just my freedom on the line. If I don't break the princes' curse soon, all the magic in the Enchanted Vale will be stolen by the evil—and stupidly hot—Prince of Thorns. And I'm not letting my princes stay cursed.

Not after I've fallen in love with them.

Bonded by Thorns is a steamy adult Beauty and the Beast retelling set in a fantasy fae realm. In this version, our beautiful bookworm doesn't have to choose between the four sexy fae princes. It is a full-length novel that ends on a cliffhanger. It includes MF and MM content. It is intended for mature listeners only.

Could not put it down

Thoroughly enjoyed this , but I wish the female narrative of the males was a bit more sexy as they sounded like old men. Otherwise a great funny sexy adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.

Good listen but predictable

A good listen but very predictable. You could tell where the story was heading from the get go. I wish they had of been a few more twists that kept me guessing.

I LOVE THIS, I am super confused but definitely ready for the next book

I love the similarities to the beauty and the beast story, can’t wait to read more, this feels like only part one of a story

Great spicy/story, narration was a bit confusing

Was originally more interested in this because of the 2 narrators, assuming Robert would read all male parts and Stefanie all female parts but that was not the case. Stefanie read all of Rosalina’s POV’s and Robert read all the rest. It was a bit confusing expecting a male character to speak and just hear Stefanie’s voice lowered and vice versa with Robert.

Nevertheless once I got used to the narration I really enjoyed the story. The spicy was SO good and enjoyed the beauty and the beast elements. It got a bit cliche at times but I didn’t mind as the rest of the story helped fill it out. Looking forward to the next one!

SPOILER:

Caspian really reminds me of Ryhs from ACOTAR and makes me think the story might go a similar way in the next book.

Loved but very slow burn

Have just finished the second book and while I’m enjoying the storyline the burn is slow, oh so slow.
Very well read and overall good listen
