Fun Romance

This was a fun romance read! Shifters, danger, and of course, romance! The story was fun and well paced. I liked the changing povs and the protagonist and the love interest were both fun characters. It wrapped up nicely and I can’t wait to read the second book! Becca is a tough and caring character while Carl was a sweet but strong love interest. An overall fun romance read!

Bound By Shadows

I love shifter romances and this was a great start to a series and a fun book to read. I love the characters, they’ve all got quirks and flaws which make them interesting. Lyons also did an amazing job of world building within the story. There’s no straight chapter that explains the way these grizzly shifters work, it’s built in to the story and I can’t express how much I love that. There’s drama and danger, surly teens and surly alphas, and hot sex. I really liked this book.

Becca’s nephew has gone missing. She doesn’t really start to worry until Carl, the grizzly alpha, shows up trying to explain that her nephew, Theo, is about to go through his first change. When Theo doesn’t show up the group discovers a mad scientist out to study shifters.

Becca and Carl were my favorite part of this book. Becca is human, but she’s understanding and smart. I like how she automatically started fitting in. Carl has a bad family history, but he is feeling all the things for Becca, he’s just not sure what to do with those feelings.

I’m really excited to read more books in this series.
