Description

No one said guarding a faeling from bloodthirsty vampires would be easy. In fact, Runa trained all her life to protect her intended bondmate, Konner, until he could awaken his full magic.

She was looking forward to her time with the young fae until tragedy shattered her plans. For the last thirteen years, she’s been bound with Mikhail. Neither of them was happy with the arrangement, but she never thought he’d request to unbind from her early. When all hope of Runa fulfilling her rite and joining werewolf society is threatened, Konner comes through and agrees to become her bondmate.

But Konner hasn’t forgiven her for abandoning him. And Rowan, bound with Konner’s brother, is hostile toward the fellow werewolf who left him to protect two faelings alone. As Runa tries to make up for her past betrayals, Forbidden thoughts and urges imperil all of their futures.

No one said guarding a faeling from bloodthirsty vampires would be easy. In fact, Runa trained all her life to protect her intended bondmate, Konner, until he could awaken his full magic.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought the story of wolves protecting the far was very well written although I think I would’ve liked a few chapters on Runa and Konnor when they met originally

I love vampires, werewolves, and faeries!! I found it so creative to have the werewolves protect the fae! It's a fun fantasy. I also like reluctant love stories.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC for an unbiased review.

There are two realms at work here Faerie and the Human. Werewolves used to live in the human realm but were being hunted into extinction. The fae made a pact with the werewolves they could come to Faerie and proctect the fae until they came of age. When they received their magic and could protect themselves. Then wolfs could return to their pack to find a mate and have pups. When Runa was Konner's bondmate her best friend was killed. She felt a sense of honor to protect her friends bondmate. Leaving Konner her new bondmate he later asked to be separated from Runa. Ashamed she returned to protect Konner till he is to receive his magic. Werewolves were mainly protecting them from vampires who traveled between realms. Vampires craved fae blood. Runa and Konner do the unthinkable and fall in love. The fae will lose their magic if they have physical intimacy before reaching their maturity. Konner is kidnapped and taken to the human realm. Runa must ask an old friend for help if she is to go there and save him.

Intended Bondmates is a sweet and interesting paranormal romance that certainly puts our hero and heroine through hell trying to get to the other side. This story twists and turns and throws a couple of surprises in for good measure. I really enjoyed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Although, this is not my typical genre, I absolutely loved it. I could not put it down!
In this world of faerie, young werewolves bond with young faeries to protect them from vampires before they reach maturity and obtain their magic.
I kinda wish there was more about Runa and Konnor's relationship and stuff! but overall, really good read!
I’m so excited to read more by this author!

In this world of faerie, young werewolves bond with young faeries to protect them from vampires before they reach maturity and obtain their magic. Runa was planned to bond with Konner but a traumatic vampire attack left her an orphan and she bonded with her deceased friend’s intended out of obligation. It was a horrible match and Runa was treated poorly. Finally, he requested the bond be dissolved and she was sent to guard Konner, who would reach maturity in a few months. Their relationship was well matched and their friendship grew exponentially. The mating of werewolves and faeries is forbidden and their feelings must remain hidden. Consequences of such a relationship would result in the werewolf not being allowed to return to their pack and in the faery not having magic. The author creates a lovely story of friendships and love. Folk lore of various supernatural creatures is blended into a tale of romance and angst. I highly recommend this book to anyone who roots for true love and is willing to take risks to keep their loved ones safe.

I enjoyed this fantasy novel quite a lot. It is set in the land of the Fae . It is very unique in that it features the relationship between a werewolf girl Runa and a fae boy Konnor. Very unusual!!! In this world there is an agreement between the Fae and Werewolves that has been in place for many years. In exchange for the the werewolves being able to live in the Fae kingdom in safety from humans they are bound to protect a young fae until they reach adulthood when they will get their "magic". The werewolf protects the fae from vampires who crave the fae blood. Runa was supposed to be bound to Konnor but tragedy strikes and she ends up bound to another fae instead. . Years later she and Konner reunite and the story of their new relationship begins. This is an adult fantasy so there are a few sexy times but the main draw to the story is the angst between Runa and Konner. I gave this book 4 stars. ** I received this book from #netgalley for a review.

Wow, what an interesting story. I liked the idea of the werewolves protecting the far, it isa good spin on the normal paranormal romance. I would have preferred a bit more information on exactly how that came about. I loved the characters of Konnorand Runaway, bothso intense and it was obvious how the feelings would further develop.
I felt a bit disappointed by the interaction between Mikhail and Runa, felt that could have been a lot more dramatic, Runa was far more forgiving then she should have been considering her treatment at his hands. It was a good story, flowed well with interesting characteristics but a few scenes that made the story a bit less enjoyable than it could have been.
