Bonded by Thorns

Beasts of the Briar, Book 1

By: Elizabeth Helen

Narrated by: Stefanie Kay, Robert Hatchet

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.

A really fun read, almost bit my bosses head off.

OK so I was reluctant to buy the book after the bad reviews, sat on it for weeks EVEN though the premise peaked my curiosity. then I remembered "I'm my own damn person, how much of media do I love ❤️ that everyone HATES!?". I dived right in and it was a wonderful decision on my part. As for my rating, there are some predictable aspects if you have read and watched every version of a Beaty and Beast telling, but there are some amazing twists, mystery and very big build up on spice. you can feel the tension (I like tension, it's more realistic for me). yes the major BOOM is with MM but i imagine the next book will give us what we all are craving (I know I'm salivating). The only thing I could be disappointed about is the narration placement. maybe I'm a bit spoiled, but I love when the FN fills her verbal roles and the MN fills his. I'm always excited for such a dynamic. I will say both narrators did an amazing job, especially with Ez. I am dying for the next book, so I hope others may overlook bad reviews and take a chance. it was a fun ride

Loved this book!!!

I’m enjoying this take on Beauty and the Beast. Can’t wait for the next book. Great narration too. ❤️🎧🔥🎧

Magical

I quite enjoyed this book and the narrators were amazing. It was a fun take on beauty and the beast.

Guilty pleasure

The narrators are amazing, and the story is predictable in the best way. I understood the overall plot but still wanted to know the next twist and back story to what I knew the future would be. The best burn to know why. I’m ready for more!

story

I loved the story but at the same time I felt like the main character was missing something
