ARC Review + Blitz: Bound by Flames by Jeaniene Frost

     

“BOUND BY FLAMES is a pulse-pounding, electric and combustible ride! This series just gets better!” ~ Under the Covers

I’m not quite sure where to start.  But let me tell you one thing…. Jeaniene Frost still got it!  BOUND BY FLAMES blew me away, kept me riveted and kept my adrenaline pumping.  This book lives up to every expectation I didn’t even know I had.  Yeah, it’s that good.  Vlad is back with a vengeance!  This is the Vlad I fell in love with in the Night Huntress series.  Ruthless, possessive, exasperating, pure dominant alpha male.  Did I mention Vlad tended toward the brutal side of archaic?  I think there will be a lot of Vlad gushing in this review, so excuse me from now.

I don’t want to give too much away from the story.  Just know that Vlad is still fighting his number one enemy.  And this is a big sneaky one!  As far as bad guys go, Ms. Frost gives Vlad a run for his money with this guy.  Definitely a worthy opponent and one that really kept me on my toes and kept shocking me!  Making this such an action packed story.

Leila, let’s talk about her.  She’s more and more like Cat for me.  She’s growing, she’s learning, she’s tough, and she will fight tooth and nail for her love and her relationship.  She will endure anything she must.  And she will survive.  Go girl power in this book, Leila rocks it!  And just as Leila rocks it, Vlad is so intense and overbearing that it’s everything I’ve always known him to be!  Oh, but if he was real I would stab him in his sleep.  But this is top book boyfriend material, not just for now, but forever.  Vlad has secured a permanent spot in my list of favorite heroes ever.

This book is not as hot as some might have expected after such infamous scenes that Ms. Frost has written.  But every sex scene is so strategically placed and carries just the perfect emotion needed during that moment in the story!  What a great job with that!  And when I say not as hot, I don’t mean it’s dull.  Vlad knows how to rock a girls world and he definitely does that and then some.  Have I mentioned how much I need to change my name to Leila?  Leila Dracula that is. 😉

For the Night Huntress series fans out there, Cat is in this one!  Beware that there is a huge spoiler if you haven’t read the last book in the Night Huntress series!  But Cat gets the job done here as well.  And some of our favorites from that series make a cameo in this one too, like Marie Laveau.

BOUND BY FLAMES is a pulse-pounding, electric and combustible ride! This series just gets better!  This book is SAVAGE, that is probably the best way to describe it. I loved every single minute of it.  If you’re not reading this now, you’re missing out.  If you haven’t read this series yet, you’re missing out.  I can’t wait for more!

Favorite quote:

“Months ago, you made me ask you if you would marry me. This time, I’m not asking. I’m telling you to say yes, so say it, and be mine for eternity.”
“Yes. Yesterday, today, forever… yes.”

“Truth be told, I didn’t have a lot of experience with flirting. I’d started electrocuting anyone I touched at thirteen, which put me firmly in the “dateless” column for the next twelve years. Not even vampires were immune to the dangers of skin- to-skin contact with me, and that’s when I wasn’t even trying to hurt them. Since I needed the Joker to stay close for the next few minutes, I had to keep up my act, poor faux seduction skills or no. Soon, I’d sneak the detachable fingers off my right glove, touch him while holding in my currents, and thus find out his darkest secret.

Lie detector tests had nothing on my ability to discern people’s worst sins through a single touch. I’d hated my psychometric abilities until recently, when they had become a necessary tool for keeping me and the people I loved alive.”–Jeaniene Frost, Bound by Flames
