Publisher's summary

A 2011 Reader's Crown finalist!

Fallen angels rule Moscow's seedy underworld, promising untold pleasure to the females who dare to mate them. That promise - and Brends Duranov's own raw sexual power-has hopefuls mobbing the velvet rope outside his elite club G2's.

But Mischka Baran has no intention of hooking up with one of the Fallen. Not even after Brends gives her an unforgettable taste of the sin and seduction he can deliver with those wicked lips. She's after information, not a stint as some fallen angel's toy of the month. What she doesn't know is that with a sadistic killer carving up his brethren, Brends is playing for keeps, hunting the one woman whose bloodline can end the mayhem, whose bond can restore his lost wings.

Critic reviews

"The perfect alpha male - sexy as hell and demanding... The raw energy of the males in this story make for a tantalizingly, erotic read. Fans of fallen angels will eat this one up." ( Anna's Book Blog)

" Bond With Me is a very dark erotic romance. Brends and Mischka's chemistry is titillating right from the moment they first meet and their romance is sweet, yet exciting even beyond their smoking hot sexual relationship." ( Fiction Vixen Book Reviews)

"Dark and dangerous are the first 2 words that come to my mind when I read this book. Brends is the ultimate bad boy and makes no apologies for his nature or behavior." ( Bookaholics)

Sexy and interesting!

Great new concept. I like the secondary couple more than the main one though. Mischka doth protest too much! The killer of the story was super creepy. I will be listening to the next in the series to see what happens next.

On the Fence Here....

Ok.. The story was just awesome... But.... Narration can literally kill a good, a really good story. However, that being said, the narrator was not bad at all, it was just a horrible recording session, I think... This was an awesome beginning to a paranormal romance... (my faves by the way) where these fallen angels have to find there mates to get back into heaven. The Fallen Angels are goblins and they have the power of granting bonds with humans. The twist is, Arch Angel Micheal is not so nice, all the Fallen have never found a mate, and the smex was simply great!!!

The recording was just horrid though... I even think some of the chapters were missing a few paragraphs. The Narrator was not bad at all, but it did not sound like a professional narration. You could hear the narrator breathing, pausing, licking her lips and all kinds of stuff.. I even think I hear someone ruffles some paper once or twice. So really bad recording session. I somehow finished it though and glad I did... was a great book. I am looking forward to the next one...I just hope they clean up the recording session a bit.

Don't buy...wait for a credit.

Terrible narrator

Absolutely the wrong choice for reading this book. Mispronounced words and strange pauses. You're better off reading the book.

Narration Terrible.

Would you try another book from Anne Marsh and/or Kellie Kamryn?

Yes. The story is nice.

What other book might you compare Bond with Me to and why?

Any other cheesy paranormal romance.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The Narrator did a terrible job. I could not get into the story with her narrating it. She is monotone with no emotion. Sounded like a middle school kid reading out loud in class.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Better narration.

Any additional comments?

Just read the book. Don't get the audio.

Overall good story

I've read this book years ago so was excited to listen to it. I loved the story line & the narration was pretty good. The biggest drawback is that they need to fix the audio file. There are several places where it skips much like CDs used to. I tried uninstalling & redownoading the book but it skipped in the same spots.

Plot synopsis intrigued me

The reviews were mixed but I tried it. Listening to the narration was excruciating. The voice of the narrator was infantile. The delivery was uneven with inappropriate pauses. I couldn't get through the first chapter

Horrible Narrator!!!!

It is a good thing Anne Marsh can write so well! The narrator was horrible. Pausing in the wrong spots, mispronouncing words and mixing up when to use which voice. It almost ruined the whole book. Also, the audio editing was awful. Sentences were cut off and you could hear the narrator swallowing through the whole book. Great story with a lot of detail that made it come to life. I would love to hear this book again with a male narrator.

I will never listen to another book narrated by Kellie Kamryn ever again.

Narrator?

Narrator could barely read. Orange mis-pronounced "or-ange" in the first chapter the woman read. Speed of reading changed, awkward phrasing. Couldn't listen at all.

Couldn't even finish it :(

Would you try another book from Anne Marsh and/or Kellie Kamryn?

I would try another book from Anne but not from Kellie

What could Anne Marsh have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

get a different reader. I had to stop it after an hour and half.

What didn’t you like about Kellie Kamryn’s performance?

The way she read. I don't know if she was bored with the book. or that she didn't know how to read it. maybe she should practice reading books out allowed first before she does another book. or at least read the book a few pages ahead and then read it to me.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I wasn't impressed that I paid a lot of money for a book I couldn't even sit through. The story line sounded really good. I just couldn't handle the way the reader was reading it to me.

Any additional comments?

I don't want to put anyone off this book. the way I want my books read to me is the same way I read them to me. Read them like your there experiencing the plot. if your joking you might want to chuckle. not tell me that your chuckling. I think listening to someones reading is personal preference so listen to it quickly first then decided before buying it.

Story ruined by narrator

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Good paranormal story ruined by narrator

Would you recommend Bond with Me to your friends? Why or why not?

No, I couldn't stand narrator, she sounded like my kid sister. Popping and craclking in the background made the recording sound like a high school production.

What didn’t you like about Kellie Kamryn’s performance?

Lack of emotion... The recording sounded like my kid sister reading me a bedtime story.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment could of been a good story and start to new series.
