This is book 3 in the Caulde Ane Series. It features Brodie and Payton.
Brodie and Payton’s story is different because they meet when Payton is very young. Even though Brodie knows that she is his, he is unable to claim her because of her age. Because of that, there is confusion and miscommunication on both of their parts that lead to them being kept apart.
In the beginning, Brodie seems to be a very gruff, rude man. As the story progresses, we get more back story and the reasons for his personality come to light. I love how he is totally different with Payton. Despite everything, Payton is loyal to Brodie, and their relationship is beautiful!
There is plenty of action to go along with the romance between Brodie and Payton, and ties in well with the other books in the series. It’s a great book, and different enough from the others in the series to make it interesting, while still keeping true to the feel of the series.
This was my third book by Piper and it’s the 3rd book in the Cauld Ane Series.
In this story, we get to learn about Brodie and Payton’s past and their rather complicated story. Though the book can be read as a stand-alone I for one found it much more appealing to read in the order it was written.
For me by the time I got to this book I was excited to learn about the history between Payton and Brodie. I wanted to know why it seemed Payton didn’t want to be near Brodie or at least seem to act like she didn’t. I also wanted to see them together.
Brodie and Payton are perfect for each other and both know what it’s like not to be loved by their mother. When Payton finally admits she loves Brodie he will do anything to show her she is loved and cherished. From a surprise romantic wedding to giving her the house she wants. Brodie proves to her that love is stronger than anything and he will always put her first.
What I love most about this series is that Piper has a way of weaving the characters into each story so that once you are invested you get to see where they go. Once one story ends you are not left wondering what happens the characters weave seamlessly into and out of each story.
This third installment just keeps getting better.
Following this family through this series is extremely entertaining, as they stumble their way through all the problems, emotional turmoil, etc., a very enjoyable series.
Bound by Secrets is the third book in the Cauld Ane series with a brooding, sexy alpha male. Brodie and Payton’s love story take a long time before it comes to pass, which was frustrating while reading. Brodie caused major problems for them that Payton may not be able to get over and have their HEA. This book is frustrating, interesting, unique approach to paranormal, page turner of a read. This series just gets better and better. I am loving the world and characters the Ms Davenport has created and lool forward to reading more.
Although TWISTED and TRAGIC are both good words to describe this story, it is not what you would wxpected!
Brodie knew who his mate was immediately, but for his sanity he chose to leave for several years as she was very young when they met. Payton was drawn to Brodie, but couldn’t trust that he was her mate. Until she turned twenty-five she wouldn’t know definitively if he was truly meant for her. With factions rising against them, they try to find their way together. I was frustrated with the way things ended with the bad guys. I would have liked a little more information about what went down, and more about Payton’s father. I did enjoy Brodie and Payton’s relationship growth. Overall I really liked this book.
I have really enjoyed this series so far . I have been looking forward to Payton and Brodie’s story since we were first introduced to them and I loved it. Can’t wait to read the next one!!
A lot of this book was rehashed from the previous 2, which was super annoying. The events overlapped each other. It was like rereading the previous books from another point of view and then getting just a tiny bit further in the time line. Not interested in reading any more in the series
DNF, stopped at 34%!!!!
I thought this story was about Payton and Brodie. Instead I got a story about everyone and their mates. Plus with all the plots of betrayal and deceit you can conjure. This story is like getting gossip second hand. “Hey you remember Maria, yeah from Domestic Relations? Well her cousin’s sister got pregnant by her boss but not before she got a promotion. Oh and did hear about John he’s finally getting married even though is girlfriend cheated on him”. Literally this is how the book is so far, like at one point they go from planning a funeral to talking about meeting their mates. And it’s not even the main characters. The lass that wrote this book gave me a headache. With how much lass, love and aye she put in this book. We get it their in Scotland. The blurb should say “ not specifically about Brodie and Payton, they are mentioned briefly but so is everyone else and their daily lives that has no place in a supposed story about two ppl”.Thanks Cauld Ane or something like that I’ll pass. It was free so that’s a good thing.
I really didn’t like this book. Very boring and predictable.
Good book.
It’s been a long time since I have read a book this convoluted. I had trouble keeping up with so many characters introduced immediately before I had the chance to figure out who was whom. Then there are the skips that make no sense where I was left wondering if a chapter or two was missing! The dialog doesn’t flow as it should and the miscommunication between characters is unreal. I think the author shows promise but she needs to do more homework on her writing and I hope she keeps trying and studying well written books to get better.
Which is a great book and series I love them all. Can’t wait to finish the other ones
Really liked this book and the others I have read so far in this series. The men in these books are very swoon worthy!!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Payton & Brodie! We’ve gotten glimpses of them & bits of their story in the first two books, and their story is beautiful, fun, FUNNY & action-packed! They had some struggles in their beginning – timing playing a major part in this one. Everything was paced perfectly & we get updates on the other couples as well as hints into the upcoming ones.
I am enjoying this series SO MUCH! The world building is done so well & the way each story weaves into the others… Marvelous! : )
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Again I really enjoyed this book and the series overall. Bound by Secrets tells the love story of Payton and Brodie and I could not wait to read their story. Brodie is a great Alpha male with a sweet side and Payton is a sassy heroine who will stand up for her self. It was really interesting to see a story through the eyes of the Clauld Ane and to see their relationship unfold over years. This book is full of sweet moments and just enough angst to keep things interesting. It was great to learn more about the history of the characters and catch up with them through out the story. This story has action, romance, and humor. Plus some great twists and turns!
