Dire Bound
Sable Sorensen
by Jaymin Eve
Simone, a Torma shifter who narrowly survived her previous encounters with the supernatural, believes her days of navigating otherworldly danger are behind her. However, a mysterious energy burst she inadvertently triggered during her last visit to Valdor has caught the attention of an ancient, powerful master. Now, she is forcibly summoned to participate in a high-stakes Selection to prove her worth as a potential mate.
Refusal is not an option, and the consequences of failure are lethal. Her only hope for survival lies with Lucien, a formidable and notoriously snarly master who is as infuriating as he is alluring. To protect Simone, Lucien enters the Selection as her pretend suitor, setting the stage for a dangerous masquerade.
As they navigate the treacherous politics of the vampire world, the line between their performance and reality begins to dissolve. Between the intense physical necessity of feeding and the undeniable chemistry sparking between them, Simone finds that her life is no longer the only thing at stake. In a world of shadows and shifting loyalties, she must guard her heart against the very man she is using to save it.
CaitlynCA truly jaw dropping book that will leave a lasting impression
"A truly spellbinding magical story. This book has just obliterated my mind, body and soul. I could not eat or breathe or adult til I finished it. You know when you read a book and it just takes over your life and it feels like reading for the first time all over again, this book right here is it. Lucien and Simone are everything and more and their story is one for the ages. I absolutely fell in love with both of them, the push and pull and banter and angst was just perfection, the spice also made a girl sweat a little, they are dynamic in ways I haven’t seen before. They are these two pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly in sync together once connected. The way Jaymin Eve can create a story is awe inspiring, these two are so special and will legit have you hanging off of every word and sentence. Listen this book rocked my world and I just want to get lost into all over again, so run and read this right now and be blown away with me because this has now entered into the favorite of all favorites list of books. It’s a chef kiss of perfection and I’m still reeling over them and will be for long after. ["

Alicia LGood read
"Really enjoyed this book. Loved the characters. Enjoyed the little twist of Carter and how that ultimately worked out. Interested in finding out more about the other god, so hopefully there’s more on that. ["

Javispbeautiful and sexy as hell
"This chapter in the Beast Shifters saga is sexy like nothing else in the world. The tension is palpable, and the bonding between Simone and Lucien is slow at its most exquisite. Simone is a different character than Mera and Lale, she's more composed and diplomatic than Mera, but equally feisty and brutal. What I immediately liked is that Simone starts this book accepting her feelings for Lucien. She doesn't fight it, she doesn't lie to herself, she just doubts reciprocation on the vampire's part. I loved our author's ability to create distinctly different characters in a paranormal world that gets complex without losing its meaning or straying from the path of the plot. It's been a long time since I've read a long saga where each book has found its place in me. This story will be always memorable. I loved its originality and freshness. I am a new fan of Jaymin's. I found myself reading most of the night and that is no small accomplishment, my friends. My eight thousand hours of sleep is sacred, but this book has taken me to the exception and I'm happy about the sacrifice 🤣. ["

Jewels ❤️Another amazing book!
"Oh boy was this book HOTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! Over the past 4 books we've gotten to know both Lucien and Simone. They are part of the family that we love. This is the 3rd time I've read this book and I realized I hadn't reviewed it. They immediately have so much chemistry and that chemistry grows exponentially until they combust at the end! There is so much "She's mine" and "I'll kill anyone who hurts her"...I LOVE IT! And Simone isn't some wall flower she is strong, sassy, and smart. Such a good couple. The spice is AMAZING! This is a standalone but you must read books before. ["
