About this book
He’s a warlord on the edge. She’s a teacher on the run. Their worlds are about to collide—in the most explosive way possible.
Warlord Iven has one foot in the grave, days away from a ceremonial execution to save his honor—and the galaxy—from his untamed beast. But when a desperate plea lands a mission in his lap, everything changes. A royal child is in hiding. Assassins are on Earth. And his last chance at redemption lies in a sleepy little town in Washington … in the form of a fiercely protective, infuriatingly sexy fourth-grade teacher named Krystal.
Krystal James has already lost everything. Her sister. Her old life. Her peace. Now, she lives under a false identity, guarding her nephew—the last heir to an alien fortune—with nothing but grit, lies, and a very protective alien cat. Falling for a towering kindergarten teacher with a lethal growl and a gaze that says mine? Not part of the plan.
But fate doesn’t care about plans. It only cares about destiny.
When Iven’s beast roars to life, Krystal must decide: trust the alien protector with her body and heart—or risk losing everything to the killers closing in.
Because once an Atlan warlord claims his mate, there’s no turning back. And this beast has found his match.

Another fantastic Grace Goodwin book. I love her beast books. They are among my favorites of all her books. I loved the characters so very well written they could step off the page. The action and romance were amazing. I can't wait for the next. book )

I have purchased almost every book from this author, and loved each one. This book, while a great story, lacked a satisfying ending. It was almost like there will be another book yi continue the story. Thus the 4 star rating. ) 7 people found this helpful

Although the story was shorter than usual I really enjoyed it. An Atlan Beast at the end of his rope with mating fever takes a job to protect a child from assassins, and in the process finds his Human mate. I gave it 5 stars because it was well written and I really like the series of The Interstellar Brides. ) One person found this helpful

As with other books of this series excellent writing. A fantastic read, Grace Goodwin never disappoints. From the first paragraph, the characters, and all that follows. )

Bound to the Beast is essentially a Beast version of Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger. In fact, you could say the plot is suspiciously similar enough that the screenwriter Murray Salem ought to be getting some royalties here. lol Regardless, there were differences that made this sci-fi version of Kindergarten Cop fun and interesting. I love the battle cat, Alexander, and the Beast's interaction with the kid's and the spice with his love mate. But I can only give this one three stars,...
