Bound and Unbound: A paranormal novella duology

As the heir to a powerful vampire gang, I should be a master thief by now.
But my abilities have always been flawed. I'm good at one thing, though—stealing. When my uncle sets his sights on a prized possession owned by Gothel, the ruler of the Sky Syndicate, I'm tasked with the job of taking it.
Everything changes when I meet the captivating gargoyle. He offers to fix my broken magic, and his smoldering touch and commanding presence make me feel alive for the first time in years.
But Gothel's help comes with a cost. He demands my complete surrender. And when I discover just how good it feels to give in, it's a price I'm willing to pay. Our dangerous game of seduction and submission leaves me yearning for more. Even as I give myself to him, I know the bliss is short-lived. I'll learn from Gothel, and then I'll steal from him.
At least, that's what I tell myself. The more time I spend in the syndicate lord's company—and over his knee—the more I wonder if I can rob the only male who's ever truly helped me.
When danger threatens to keep us apart for good, I realize I haven't been learning to steal. I've been learning to love… and I'll do whatever it takes to win Gothel's heart, even if it means risking everything.

I read book one of this series quite a while ago, and I’m not sure WHY I waited so long to pick up book two!! This book had me in an absolute CHOKEHOLD. I literally could not shut up about it and told everyone I knew that they needed to read it! We meet Tower, the heir to the du Sang vampire clan; a thief whose powers don’t quite work right. I felt so awful for him and the way he was treated by his uncle and the rest of the clan—pulled right at my heart strings. Tower ends up on the radar of...

Can I just say that the spice was so much better than expected! These two were so cute and had such a fire between them! I really enjoyed watching these two grow and connect. I love me some fated mates!! I will say that, yet again, I wished there was more relationship development. I feel like the epiphany for feelings didn't happen in a way that jived with the rest of the book. Overall, this was a fun and fast-paced read, with a good helping of spice on the side. )

This book was a ride! Tower is a beautiful vampire struggling to come fully into his powers. His narcissistic uncle and awful family use him and keeps him imprisoned regularly for long periods of time - (where the rapunzel part comes in) to do his bidding with the promise that when he comes into his own powers he can take over his rightful place as vampire ruler. His uncle sends him to retrieve an item from Gothel the gargoyle. I read a lot of different monster romance but this gargoyle was the...

This one, very interesting. I could do without the cigar smoking as that isn’t something attractive to me, but it sort of went with the character profile of fetish life style, a running theme in these stories. I was living for the descriptions of the gargoyles outfits tho, I want to get into that style of dressing. I also like that he was marked with some age, salt and peppered hair, most MM romance books show everyone as perpetually young. I loved the size difference and power play dynamic...

I loved, loved this one!!! I really enjoyed the play on the Rapunzel retelling. Vampires, Werewolves, Gargoyles and Bears in that order are my favorite shifters but in this story I loved this world. The play on the main characters name and features are brilliant. I’m struggling to put into words how much I enjoyed this one of the “Beautiful Nightmares “ series ) One person found this helpful
