Book Review: Bonded Nightmare by E.M. Rinaldi

Bonded Nightmare

by E.M. Rinaldi
Publication Date: May 2024
Genre: PNR/ Spicy
Tropes:
Enemies to lovers
Fated mates
Shadow daddy
Touch her and 💀
Slow burn
F0rced pr0ximity
He falls first
Dual POV
She can run but she can’t hide…

As the last unbonded nightmare in existence, Eryn Montalli has been hunted her entire life for the mere potential of her magick. She’s only ever wanted a quiet life tending to the hurt and sick animals that seek her out. Those dreams go to absolute shit with four little words…

They found your bond.

Now she’s hiding amongst the humans at Moorcroft University, trying to make a life for herself—if one overprotective witch wasn’t so determined to set her carefully laid plans on fire. His arrogance is enough to make her want to punch him in the face…but his touch has her questioning why she’s fighting so hard to stay away.

*This book is intended for mature readers 18+


Bonded Nightmare by E.M. Rinaldi is classified as one "spicy PNR" and I'd have to agree. It's hot, very hot.

I do love a push and pull in building a relationship, friendship sometimes is often hard fought and takes awhile to build trust. In this case, you have a couple who's not very keen on each other from the start. But that builds over time and with it the tension of a great romance.

Sometimes fate can come along and smack ya right in the face! Loved the journey these two take and the drama that ensues as they each try and figure out what the heck to do next! An adult book for adult readers, sexy as hell and cussing to go along with it.

I love the colorful snark in-between these pages and actually could have taken a lot more. Humor galore had me laughing at moments and certainly entertained throughout. This one is most enjoyable for those that love the push and pull in a relationship and steamy romance!

About the Author:
E.M. Rinaldi lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband, Milz, and their slightly psychotic pup, Boone. She works as a Registered Radiologic Technologist,taking pictures of mangled bones for hours on end- then she writes about all the bizarre situations her characters get themselves into while she was away.

When she’s not writing or trapped at work, E.M. likes to read (obsessively), clear her DVR, and have all night Buffy marathons with her friends, complete with cookies and cinnamon rolls.
Her love for writing stems from an early age where she would create stories on an old computer program and force anyone within grabbing distance to read them. Not much has changed; be warned: stay out of grabbing distance.

Romantic fantasy: The Forbidden King (The Heir of Atlantis series) by S.T. Fernandez

Welcome to the tour for The Forbidden King by S.T. Fernandez! Read on for more details!

The Forbidden King (The Heir of Atlantis series)
by S.T. Fernandez
December 3, 2024
Genre: Romantic Fantasy
🙅‍♀️ Forbidden Love
🤫 Secrets
❤️ Forced Proximity
🌶 Spicy Romantasy
💀 Love After Death
❤️‍🔥 Human X Fae
🧜🏻‍♂️ Age Gap
❤️‍🩹 Grieving/Healing
👑 Royalty X Commoner
👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Friends to Lovers
🔮 Mating Bond Revelations

A chambermaid bound to her family's prestigious palace legacy. A King harboring a secret bound to shatter his world.

Leader Reneah Diaz, the unparalleled head of the palace chambermaids and valets, was a figure of admiration and respect. Her family’s legacy amongst the staff was not just coveted, but revered. But when the grieving Fae King returns to Atlantis with the Heir in tow, the human chambermaid breaks all the rules and forms an unexpected and unique friendship with father and daughter. This friendship, unlike any other, born in the most unlikely of circumstances, opens up a world of secrets and revelations about his mating bond with the deceased Queen Neleah, secrets that not a soul alive knows of.

A hidden shame plagues the Fae King, a secret so rare that it could shatter the perceptions Neleah and Cathan carefully built. But when undeniable chemistry flourishes with his human chambermaid, he feels something he never dared to dream of—something worth risking his reputation and his daughter’s.

In a world where palace politics expressly forbids relations between the royal family and the palace staff, and where relations between humans and Fae are incredibly taboo, Cathan’s unusual request for Reneah to take residence in the royal wing does not go unnoticed by her superior or her subordinates. And when their affections become something more, Reneah and Cathan must face a heart-wrenching decision: distance themselves or risk destroying her family’s legacy and his reputation forever.

The Forbidden King is an Heir of Atlantis Novella (Book 1.5). It should be read after reading The Veiled Heir (Book 1). This is a spicy romantasy, a blend of romance and fantasy with mature themes, intended for readers aged 18+. Trigger and content warnings can be found at the beginning of the book and on STFernandez.com. Please read with care.

“A compelling, darkly imaginative, and deliciously sexy fantasy romance.” - The Prairies Book Review
How many realms would you cross to save your true love?
All humans possess an element – except for Talvi. Born without magic and dedicated to being the keeper of Starstone Temple, an ancient monastery in her small forest town, she’s plunged into a world-changing struggle when a mysterious and powerful guest arrives on her doorstep.

Caelan ignites a dangerous fire in her heart... but he guards a secret that could destroy them both. After Talvi’s childhood love is abducted by a terrifying threat from a doomed world, Caelan is the only one who can help her. Alongside her two best friends, Talvi must unravel the long-lost secrets of Starstone – and embark on a dangerous quest that will transport her to unknown realms.

Four elements. Three realms. Two lovers. And one impossible choice.
Hunted by deadly enemies and unable to contain the desire burning between them, Talvi struggles not to fall for the enigmatic fire elemental. His wickedly beautiful smile. His courageous passion. The seductive amber flames of his eyes. Can she decide where her loyalty – and her heart – truly lie? Or will embracing her destiny force her to pay a devastating price?

She was born powerless. Now the fate of the realms rests in her hands.

Dive into a steamy romantic fantasy adventure that sweeps you into an enchanting world of vast fjords, wild forests, elemental powers, and one woman searching for her destiny. With a stunning love story that spans multiple realms, A Moonrise in the Fire is Book One in An Element of Fire series but can be read as a standalone. A gripping read perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Sarah J. Maas, and Holly Black.
