I thought this series was engagjng. I loved the plot, characters, and my favorite part, the romance! She got it just right without having to get into smut and too much sexually graphic content. Way to write a romance scene Stormy! The ideas in this world make you want to keep reading to find out what happens next. I did not put the series down!

With love, magic and a little bit of mayhem you will not be able to put these books down! They are definitely a 'one-sitting' read!!! Bound By Duty (book 1) was so well written I never would have guessed it was Stormy Smith's debut novel. Bound By Spells (book 2) just got better from there and Bound By Prophecy (book 3) absolutely astounded me. Don't hesitate to pick up this series, you won't regret it!
There is nothing quite like reading an amazing book and thinking you know how it's going to end, only to have everything go in a direction you never even considered. That is every single book in the Bound Series! Each book keeps you guessing and will blow your mind with new revelations and twists you didn't see coming. A fantastic group of characters that are three-dementional and grow as people throughout the series. You will love to hate the villians...they are truly the worst of the worst. Even the secondary characters will manage to steal your heart!

Review for Bound by Duty:
I'm sitting here asking myself how can I express what this book has done to me, ahh I LOVED IT!! This is the BEST book that I have read this year!! This magical story evoked feelings within me that only a FEW books have been able to do EVER!
Right away I love Stormy's writing style. I'm not sure how to explain it but she has a way of making me feel at-home so to speak when reading her work. I guess what I mean to say is while reading Bound By Duty I felt that inane sense of familiarity and comfort. It's the whole reason why I fell in love with reading, and not many authors can invoke those feelings within me. Early on within the first 150 pages or say I knew that this story would go down in my favorites of all time!
First off I must say that there will not be any spoilers here. Trust me, I read the summary and made sure to NOT include anything that isn't already there for you to read. In the summary it mentions that Amelia is betrothed to a prince she'd never met. Add to that it also mentions that she doesn't even know his name. Now fast forward to the story, she meets two guys. One is Micah, he starts dating Amelia's best friend Bethany. The other is Aidan. Right away both Amelia and Aidan have some serious chemistry. I loved the sexual tension!
“Now I was falling faster than a comet plummeting to the earth, just waiting to create a giant explosion. Just like a comet, I had no idea exactly how much damage I would leave in my wake.”
Now I know I'm veering off, let me get back on track here. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? That either Micah or Aidan is the prince she's betrothed to? Of course I'm not going to tell you how it goes down, but ahh the suspense while reading!
One of my favorite characters is Bethany. She's a secondary character. I just love her southern flair and complete loyalty to her bestie Amelia! Of course I can't forget her sense of humor, she will have you laughing! Honestly as I continued on with the book I'd love to read a novella or spin off with Bethany as the protagonist!
This book pretty much has it all.
Strong character development - check
Magic (mages, shifters oh and an evil queen!) - check
Romance that will make your toes curl - check
Tons of mystery - check
Overall I don't think I will be able to eat, sleep or do anything until I get my hands on the next book! All I can say is OMG OMG OMG...I NEED Bound By Magic like yesterday!!
Review for Bound by Spells:
This is the second book in The Bound series and it was equally as magical and suspenseful as the first one! The plot was absolutely amazing, then low and behold a whole new twist gets thrown into the mix! I honestly didn't think the plot could get any better, then BAM I'm blown away!
In the past I haven't been a big fan of alternate POV, but I think it may be my new favorite thanks to the author Stormy Smith! Each POV was perfectly balanced, I felt like I got to spend equal time with Amelia and Aidan which I loved.
The ease in which I connected with the characters was awesome! This book picks up right after book one, and introduces some new characters! But let me just say (and I know I said this in regards to book 1 as well) but I just adored Bethany! That girl can make anyone smile, even in the toughest of times! Stormy, if you are reading this can we please have a novella in Bethany's POV? Hey even a short story will do!
I am going to end with saying that I cannot wait to dig into book three Bound By Prophecy! I

4.5 stars -- This is definitely a series that needs to be on your TBR pile! These books are chock full of fabulous and complex characters and a beautifully detailed world of magic like you've never read before. The characters are VERY REAL and not without flaws, but what makes this series stand out is how we get to watch the characters grow and become shaped into the people they were meant to be. And it's extremely satisfying, especially as I wasn't always sold on our heroine Amelia at the beginning, but she really develops beautifully over the three books. And while there is NO LOVE TRIANGLE, there are 2 beautiful book boys to fall in love with. Our hero, Aidan, will burrow into your heart right from book 1, and just solidifies that position when we get his POV in books 2 and 3. And the surprise love of this series (for me) turned out to be Micah, the son of the villain. I won't write more than that to ruin it, but I dare you not to fall in love with that boy.
Besides the main characters, this series benefits from a fabulous cast of secondary characters -- from the spunky Bethany, who you wish could be your BFF, to Cole the big brother, to little Dillon. to the ever faithful Baleon. And my personal faves, Charlie and Onyx, the dogs who are so much more than they appear. Even Queen Julia, the villain, is complex and three dimensional.
And as I mentioned above, the world building in this series is extensive and well thought out. The magic and the whole magical society is unique and brings its own mythology to the table. And so many of the little things that develop along the way are made significant and wrapped up together in the conclusion.
So if you're looking for your next paranormal fix, look no further. This is the series for you! (and that sounded totally corny, but I'm horrible at ending reviews, so I'm leaving it because it's true)

The Bound series has become one of my favorite series! Ask yourself some of these simple questions, and if you answer yes to most than do yourself a favor and pick these books up immediately! Do you enjoy complex characters that will tug on your heartstrings, make you laugh out loud, and even shudder in fear? Do you enjoy elements of magic, mystery, everlasting love, and friendships that make your heart sing? What about a villain that will have you shaking in your boots and breaking your heart at the same time? Are you interested in an intricate plot line with loads of action? Do you love strong, swoon-worthy guys and courageous, powerful women? DO YOU LIKE AWESOME?! Then look no further, this series has all that and ten times more!
