Lost and Bound

Mismatched Mates Series, Book 4 (Unabridged)

By: Eliot Grayson

Narrated by: Chris Chambers

Kidnapped, imprisoned, and experimented on for two years, Jared Armitage has lost the will to live. When his captors give him to another prisoner, one who can and probably will take Jared's life, he comes face to face with the most terrifying thing of all: hope.

Calder's warlock captors meant to turn him into a monster, and they nearly succeeded. Starved, desperate, and filled with rage, Calder hasn't cared about anyone in years. Until Jared. Together they have a chance at escape and Calder has someone to fight and kill for. To cherish. Someone he doesn't want to hurt.

Life after captivity isn't easy. Jared never wanted a mate like Calder, but he craves Calder's intense attention, his ability to take Jared apart . . . and then put him back together again. Even if their mate bond is only temporary.

But Calder's made a promise-one he'll die before he breaks-never to hurt Jared or let him be hurt. Unexpected enemies are lurking, targeting Jared, Calder's one weakness. Their intense bond-and maybe even love-are worth everything, and they're both willing to fight for it . . . or die trying.

Contains mature themes.

Pre spleen removal Jared was an @.s.s.hole!

He was slightly better after the removal of his spleen lol...what I love about this mismatched couple is that they were both dominant men and one had to struggle but eventually learn to bend to the other. More often then not it seems even in M/M romance one of them appears to play the "female" role - either being described as a "twink" or likes wearing makeup and/or panties etc. That's fine if it floats your boat...it doesn't float mine lol... I enjoy watching 2 very masculine men on equal standing fall in love. But this aside...

I wasn't a fan of Chris Chambers at the start of this series but he has grown on me - once I realized I like his style once I sped him up a bit - I enjoyed "Lost and Bound" really loved how Calder and Jared met - even though it was through a horrendous circumstance. My only real complaint about the titles I've listened to thus far is there isn't enough shifting action outside of a 'battle' scene. I like to see more social shifting action...like running as a pack or shifting in play.

4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen

Love this series

This is truly one of my favorite series. I love Eliot Grayson's mix of drama and humor, sexy scenes and snarky banter. And Chris Chambers is the best, as always. I wish I could get him to narrate all my favorite books, for real.

Best of the series

I listened to the series out of order and left this one til last. I really liked all the stories but this one is the best by far. The emotional range is great.

Loved this

"...I never joke about pizza..." Got my heart all aflutter. I am so glad to have read this book

A very nice series!

I am new to this author and have listened to all the books in the series up to this one. I think this may be my favorite book of the series so far but I have really enjoyed all of them. The narrator was new to me as well and I’m very happy to say he is also going on my favorites list. Happy listening!!
