Max is a rock star, and Grace is a typical girl next door. What in the world could they have in common? After meeting at a concert of his, Max realizes she is his mate, and sets off to make her his.
To begin with, I really didn’t like Max. He’s arrogant, self-important, and really can’t imagine not getting his way or anyone turning him down. He’s really kind of spoiled. Grace, on the other hand, is loyal, sweet, and very funny. Her sense of humor is off the charts hilarious! But she’s also very hesitant about getting involved with Max. Max goes to great lengths to get her attention, and eventually convinces her to spend some time with him.
Once Max got over himself, he proved to be sweet and loyal. As with all of the Cauld Ane men, Grace was everything to him.
Add in family tragedy, drama, unsolved murder, and mayhem, and you get a book that keeps the reader engrossed and entertained from the first word to the last!
3.5 stars
Max and Grace met at a meet and greet for his band. He knew she was meant for him immediately, but had a small struggle convincing her of that. Grace was very independent and she wasn’t at all sure she wanted to live in Max’s world. He was pretty arrogant, but wanted to love and take care of her more than anything. I did like how Max was different with her than the rest of the world. I overall enjoyed this read, and can’t wait for Niall’s book.
Love this world that Piper Davenport has created! The Cauld Ane are the perfect mix! And Max & Grace’s story fits in perfectly. Grace is feisty & stubborn – sometimes TOO stubborn. Max is definitely alpha goodness, but he also goes a TAD too far in his arrogance sometimes. I may have wanted to smack each of them a couple times! Heh.
This story has everything, making it a very enjoyable read! There’s humor (lots of LOL moments) and heart (some sniffles, too) and heat (*fans self* whoooeeee! Max & Grace get to the steamy times, they do!).
As always, I’m looking forward to the next installment of this series!! Love the anticipation! : )
Max and Grace’s story starts in the middle of Brodie and Pepper’s, timeline-wise. I think this book can also be a standalone, but it is so much more enjoyable reading them in order. And I just really have to say I love Piper Davenport’s writing style.
Max and Grace have a fairly rocky start. Grace isn’t the biggest fan of Fallen Crown, Max’s band. And Max’s power of suggestion just doesn’t seem to work on Grace. One of my FAVORITE parts of this book (and one of the funniest), though, has to be when Grace is emailing Max, but thinking it was her younger brother, Spencer, playing a joke on her. Max and Grace may have a rough start, but these two were perfect for each other. No one can calm Max’s temper quite like Grace can, course that could have something to do fact that Grace is Max’s mate.
While you don’t have the danger/intrigue of the first three books, Bound by Song isn’t without it’s own drama, most stemming from the long ago death of Max and Nial’s sister. It’s going to be interesting to see how the brothers go from here, and how much longer Fallen Crown will last with media the way it is in the modern age. It certainly poses a challenge for those that are Claud Ane, considering they don’t age like normal humans. I’m eager now to get started on Bound by Dreams and see where this goes next.
Another great story in the Cauld Ane Series! I loved reading Max and Graces story, it is always fun to see a bad boy fall in love with a good girl. Grace is a strong heroine who does not let Max’s charm over come her, it is great to see him work for Grace’s approval. Max is an alpha male who normally does not have to work for female attention until he meets his mate!I love Piper’s insta love stories but it is fun to read one where the heroine give the hero a run for his money! I would say that you don’t have to read the other books in the series to understand the story line …. but you should because they are amazing! This book has romance, witty banter, a sassy heroine and a alpha hero, it is a must read book!
