Bound to the Naga

A Monster Mates Romance

De: Ivy Sparks

Narrado por: Azalea Blau

Pawning my grandma's bracelet was supposed to be temporary—not contractually bind me to a breathtaking naga.

Now I'm working off my debt at Sundar’s pawn shop, trying not to stare at his powerful tail, or imagine all the wicked ways he could pin me down with it...

But Sundar isn’t just hard to resist—he’s impossible to read. One moment he’s cold-blooded and controlled. The next, his possessive instincts are wrapping tighter than his coiled tail.

I know better than to fall for my boss. But the more time I spend under his golden gaze, the more I wonder... What happens when a naga decides to keep what's his?

Bound to the Naga is a spicy standalone monster romance featuring a brooding, possessive naga hero, plenty of sizzling tension, and a heroine who definitely isn’t as careful as she should be. Perfect for fans of dangerously hot monsters. Guaranteed HEA included!

Cute Slytherin love

This was so cute and I wish I had a good experience when going to the pawnshop we should hire Naga man. Loved it so much would recommend 10 out of 10.

even better in audio

After reading this story I just had to listen to the audio version. It was even better. Love the narrator and how the switch between characters and voice was seamless.

Coiled Up In Love

Gleeful Goblin Review: Having read a lot of this author's work before, including the book version of this story, I was pretty positive I'd love this audiobook. AND I WAS RIGHT. The narration is so well done and brought me so much joy. I'm thrilled to have been able to experience this story in two mediums.

The author has a gift for plucky, relatable FMC's. Or that could just be me as a broke millennial in late stage capitalism, who can say? In this case, our FMC is living that 'broke millennial who feels like she's faking being an adult' life and had to pawn a precious family heirloom in our MMC's pawnshop. Since our MMC is a naga his shop isn't your typical coins, jewelry, and electronics oh no. This shop is like a mini Warehouse 13!: “So…” she begins, seemingly gathering courage. “What’s the deal with nagas? Do you all tend to run shops, or is that just your thing?” I smile, despite myself. “No. Though we do tend toward… collecting.” I gesture at the items around us. “We’re naturally drawn to objects of value or power. Some nagas become museum curators, others antiquities dealers. I simply prefer a more direct approach.” “Dealing with desperate people pawning their precious family heirlooms?” The words are bitter, but Aubrey’s tone is light, almost teasing. “Among other things.” I count out her money, hyperaware of how her eyes follow the movement of my hands. The bills seem insufficient somehow, empty paper in exchange for something that clearly means so much to her. Regardless, I slide the stack of money across the counter, watching as she tucks it away. “There are the usual collectibles and similar fare, but I also handle a great deal of magical, cursed, and haunted objects as well.” “Yeah, I noticed.” She glances around the shop again, this time with more genuine curiosity. “So, your magical items are, like, really magical, not just stage-show stuff?” “Of course.” I find myself warming to her interest, my tail shifting to a more relaxed position. “That compass in the display case? It points to whatever it is you’ve lost, though it is known to interpret what is ‘lost’ in a rather ironic fashion. The cursed deck of cards beside it shuffles itself, but it’s notorious for cheating at solitaire. And that bookmark—” I nod toward a delicate silver piece on the counter, “—can summarize the boring parts of any book you’re reading.” She laughs, the sound bright and unexpected. “You’re joking about the deck of cards.” “I never take cursed objects lightly.” “Says the man with a Furby casually on display.”

I felt like this book was a really great blend of magical realism with monsters among us and fantastical pawnshops but also a sizzling romance that definitely had me wrapped up in it until the end. 5/5 Stars.

HEA included

Ivy Sparks has done it again. Another monster romance that I loved! The narration was great, and the story was so wholesome. I loved the relationship that was built between Aubrey and Sundar, the sexy brooding Naga and the millennial just doing her best and coming into her own. I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy monster/human relationships, spice and HEAs. I know that I will definitely be keeping an eye out for Spark's next standalone monster romance novel, she has yet to disappoint.

Finding love in unexpected places

This is a cute romantic love story of one human and a Naga. The story caught my attention and held it until the end. I loved the happy ever after ending.

Very Very Enjoyable!

This was so enjoyable. There were numerous times I stopped what I was doing to focus on what I was listening to. This is my first book by this author, and I’m going to be all over anything else they've written. The narration was great, and the spicy scenes were "yes, more!" level good.
