It should be no surprise that Ms. Romig knows how to weave one heck of a tale. This was the ending that Kader and Laurel’s deserved. Tangled Web is the perfect name for this series. Just when you think the story is over, more and more layers are revealed. One major thing I wanted to happen once I heard this series was happening, happened. Made. My. Day. This one definitely made me teary eyed and left me with a great big smile on my face. Cannot wait for January and getting a first look at Patrick’s story!!
Bound is the fantastic conclusion to the Tangled Web trilogy. After two books leading to question after question we finally start to get some answers to all those questions.
Bound picks up right where Obsessed left over, so make sure you read the first two books first.
I was completely sucked into this story. There was so much drama, suspense, and excitement throughout this story. I couldn’t put it down, I needed to know who was behind it all, who was after Kader and Laurel.
I completely fell in love with this story and with Kader and Laurel’s past and their present. There was no shortage of chemistry between the two and their love for each other despite all the drama and the danger around them was a major part of why I loved this story.
Of course, in true Aleatha fashion we got a lot of answers and many I didn’t see coming but it also led to more questions. I can’t wait to get lost in in this world again, because it is one crazy tangled web of lies, suspense and secrets.
5 She’s a Storm Chaser Stars!!!
I’m not even sure I can put into words in an eloquent enough manner with how freaking phenomenal this last book in this amazing trilogy is. Whenever I pickup a book by Ms. Romig I know I’m going to be taken on a twisty path that provides answers but also gives me questions that I didn’t even think about asking!
In this book, Laurel and Kader are put to so many tests both between themselves and the outside forces that has brought them together. This book is like a monster roller-coaster with all it’s ups and downs. Just when I thought I knew where we were going, there’s a proverbial curve in the track and we’re going up, up and up again!!
My heart truly hurt for these two at several points in this book. The lengths that have been taken in Kader’s life are almost too painful to think about. And Laurel is a woman that with her Einstein level of intelligence is the perfect woman for him to be with when he takes back control of his life!
I’m once again in awe of Ms. Romig’s writing. She keeps this story from getting too overwhelming with all the details that are finally revealed in this book. It’s brilliantly written with so many minute details that we as the reader are truly experiencing a thrilling ride that we go on willingly looking for the biggest thrill ride because that’s how good this book, this story and her writing is!
I’ve absolutely been Aleatha’d and I’ll do it again in a hot minute as long she keeps writing these amazing stories that grabs me by my throat, reels me in and doesn’t let go until the last page in the last book of each series!!
4 Stars!
Kader is a man known on the dark web who belongs and exists in the shadows. His world centered around control, and suddenly everything around him was falling apart since Dr. Laurel Carlson entered his life. His mind had to stay focused to do his job, and he was distracted by his unexpected feelings for her. He had to embrace his dark side to get things done, but as he recovers more pieces of his past, and battles his memories, everything becomes more complicated. Whatever was between Kader and Laurel had grown and evolved, and soon his number one priority was to protect her and keep her alive.
Laurel Carlson’s entire life has been turned upside down. She went from obsessing over her research to fearing for her life. Half the time she didn’t know if she was safe, or was it all just an illusion? Now she finds herself secluded at a ranch in Montana with a wild, untamed, dangerous man who she’d also figured out was beautiful, peaceful, and calming. The magnetic connection between them was as strong as ever. She’d learned over time to trust him with her life, and maybe even her heart. He’d become so many different things to her in a short amount of time. Could one of those things even be her hero?
Bound is book three of the Tangled Web trilogy by Aleatha Romig. It’s a brand new dark romance trilogy that brings us back to the same dangerous underworld as Web of Sin. You do not need to read the Web of Sin trilogy to read the Tangled Web trilogy. Bound is the conclusion to Kader and Laurel’s story. It’s a passionate love story full of intrigue, suspense, mystery, and emotion that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed this couples journey, and can’t wait for Aleatha’s Web of Desire trilogy!
Bound, the third book in the Tangled series was an epic conclusion to a fantastic series. Laurel and Kader experience more twists and turns in Bound than one can anticipate. This book reveals everything that we all wanted to know and what twists there were that I never saw coming. Who actually was the culprit was a colossal shock for me and that it why Aleatha is such a master story teller. If you have not read this series and love dark romances with major suspense every page than this series is for you and Bound, the final book in this series is fantastic and OMG!!! Not to be missed. I absolutely loved this whole series, but Bound was a superlative end to a fantastic series.
I found Twisted to be predictable. Obsessed, less predictable. Bound? While I was able to piece together a few things, I had no idea where the story was going. I could not put this book down. This was certainly a tangled web, but Aleatha brought everything together. All questions were answered. This was an extremely satisfying conclusion to the series.
This was incredible and so well thought out in great detail as Laurel and Kader find themselves in a situation that will have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation of whats lurking in every corner as their journey brings them closer and closer to the answers they are looking for. So full of danger, twists and turns and a whole bunch of surprising scenes with characters I love. Kader is so loyal and powerful in his own way and there is nothing that can bring this man down as his protection of of Laurel is his life’s mission.
4.25 stars–BOUND is the third and final instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult TANGLED WEB dark erotic romance, psychological suspense trilogy focusing on scientist Dr. Laurel Carlson, and assassin for hire Mason ‘Kader’ Pierce. The Tangled Web series is set in the same world as the author’s WEB OF SIN trilogy (Sterling Sparrow) but you do not have to have read the original series to understand or follow Tangled Web. BOUND should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book two OBSESSED.
SOME BACKGROUND: Dr. Laurel Carlson, along with her colleague Dr. Russell Cartwright are missing, and part of their scientific discovery is currently on the black market, auctioning off to the highest bidder. Imprisoned by an assassin for hire, Laurel struggles with her attraction to a man whose end game is to take her life.
Told from several first person points of view including Laurel, Kader, Mason and Jack using present day and memories from the past, BOUND picks up immediately following the events of book two OBSESSED wherein our heroine discovers the true nature of Kader’s obsession and abduction: an obsession that reveals a mutual history but an abduction meant to eliminate Laurel Carlson. With Laurel’s research missing, and her former colleagues missing or dead, Laurel struggles with issues of trust believing her time with Mason comes with an expiry date- a hit ordered by an unknown source hoping to eliminate our story line heroine. Renewed threats force our couple on the run, threats meant to destroy both Kader and Laurel.
Sterling Sparrow and his team make a cameo appearance as Mason/Kader struggles to protect the woman with whom he has fallen in love. We are re-introduced to Sparrow’s wife Araneae; his men and former members of Mason’s platoon- Reid Murray and his wife Lorna, and Patrick Kelly, as well as Kader’s commander Clifton ‘Jack’ Jackson. Patrick’s story is next in the Web of Desire Series.
BOUND is a complicated and edgy story of betrayal and deception; vengeance, secrets and love; a tale of power and control. The premise is intriguing, captivating and thought-provoking; the characters are colorful, energetic and charismatic; the romance is passionate, seductive and intense. BOUND ends on a happily ever after for now, but saying that there are still a few unanswered questions, and the conflict resolution was cursory and disappointing.
This book was perfect! It was action packed, suspenseful and super hot. I loved the tie in from the books in the previous series. The dark side is my favorite from Aleatha and I can’t wait for more!
An exciting book three to this thriller trilogy about Mason(? The tri named anti hero) and Laurel . I enjoyed the suspense, and had my suspicions about who was behind the “goings on” . …the cross overs are great leaving openings for more books, but the opening of not knowing for sure if the bad guy is gone? Not nice.
Laurel is definitely caught in this tangled web of suspense and deceit. I can just imagine her tangled up as she watches several deadly spiders coming her way. Which one will sting her with the deadly blow?
Mason/Kader/Eric… is he really experiencing a personality split? Or is he channeling his mental prowess so he can remain in character as he compartmentalizes and deals with dangers that surround them?
Trusted people will die under the veil of deceit. Others will be able to survive but just by a sliver of luck. Mason must ensure all involved much reach a detante in order to protect Laurel. She deserves to have her life back and a bright future ahead of her. In order to achieve this, Mason knows blood will be spilled.
This is the exciting conclusion to this game of hide and seek that has been so complex. All secrets must now be revealed. The Truth is the only game left if they are to survive.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
At the conclusion of Obsessed, the second book of Aleatha Romig’s Tangled Web series, my stomach was in knots. If you read it, you know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t, you do risk some spoilers in this review. So if you’ve waited until all three books are released, stop reading reviews and start reading Twisted, the first in the series.
Aleatha Romig begins Bound right where Obsessed left off. You may have suspected some things where Kader is concerned. You may have Concerns. Aleatha Romig takes her time allaying those concerns, and along the way, the suspicions you may have had come to fruition. Kader is in trouble, dear readers, and Laurel needs to save him.
This is a white-knuckle kind of book. I think I read five chapters without taking a breath. Aleatha Romig makes Kader and Laurel WORK for their happiness, and at times you will worry that they won’t find their way. I always enjoy seeing how authors pull together the threads they laid out, and this book is no exception. Hints that were dropped in Twisted and Obsessed come to fruition. You see how everything ties together, and it will fulfill you as a reader.
Fear not, though: for all of the twists and turns, there are some deliciously spicy sexy times. You can’t have a book with Kader and have it be platonic, you know what I’m saying? Even within those sex scenes, though, there are times when you will worry. Tension abounds in this book.
I enjoyed seeing my main man Sterling Sparrow, but most of all, I enjoyed spending more time with Laurel and Kader, even if they STRESSED ME OUT.
Let me know what you think about this series. Now that I’m finished, I feel like I can finally take a breath and prepare myself for the next time Aleatha Romig knots me up.
Bound is the conclusion of the Tangled Web series and what a conclusion it was. Aleatha Romig definitely knows how to craft a story with so many layers that it keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat as they are peeled back. This story is so intricate but so well told. We get more background on Kader and Laurel as they fight to unravel the plot to kill her. There is also help from old friends and it was so nice to see how Ms. Romig weaved them into this story. This trilogy is another hit for Aleatha Romig, but this is also what she does best.
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
Whoa!!! Now, seriously! What an intense and gripping conclusion to this trilogy! Aleatha has did it again in this trilogy. She has got me all twisted and “tangled” inside after reading this! Let alone the entire trilogy! I am still gasping after all…. THAT! The ingenious plot, intriguing twists, and the poignant reveals kept me at the “edge of my seat” panting and wanting more! I was left completely breathless! Wow!
I love Aleatha’s style of detailed writing. She kept me guessing from beginning to end. She took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride! So… Yah! I have been Aleatha’d! Have you!?! If not, then what are you waiting for?!? Dive into the Tangled Web trilogy now, and settle in for an intense and heart-wrenching twisted ride!

Bound is a fitting conclusion to this wonderful series. I liked turning every page to uncover more about these characters, and I took my time savoring each page as I knew the journey would be over soon. I’m so vested with Kader and Laurel, that I think this is one of the best couple written by the author. The twist and turn and everything unfolded the way I didn’t envision it. The suspense element of the story kept me guessing. It’s gripping! Ms. Romig was able to keep the plot consistently growing and I did not feel like the ending was a quick wrap-up as often the case with a suspense-paced story. I immensely enjoyed this series and if you’re looking for a great read, I highly recommend this one.
What an epic ending of the Tangled web!! I was hooked since the very first books of this amazing series and now I have a hangover wanting to know more about these characters and their lives..
Lauren and Kader’s story keeps us on edge since the very first chapters of the Tangled Web, the chemistry, their past and all the lies that keep surrounding them made their story and their interaction so strongly that we didn’t know what was going to happen next. I always thought someone was going to show up, I literally was so anxious and never thought or saw who the bad guys were.
in Bound, we get to see a stronger Laurel, she definitely knows what she wants and is not afraid to finally get it, even if that means to put herself at risk. Kader is stronger and more lucid he only wants to solve all these lies and questions that keep hunting them no matter where they’re. both made a great team and a great couple fighting for their lives and misteries that didn’t let them live anymore.. I love how good they’re together and how well they understand each other especially when they were at risk..
we also get to see more on the secondary characters, to meet them and understand them better Lorna, Reid, Patrick and especially my favorite couple Araneae and Sterling I just can’t stop loving them!! super hot and strong as always.
Overall it was a great story, a great trilogy, I was hooked and intrigued at all times, I couldn’t put this story and the characters down so glad that I got to finally see Kader and Lauren happy.
Some things still undercover but I’m sure we will get to know more on the next series WEB OF DESIRE when we finally meet the story of Patrick!!
I can’t wait!!!!!
Simply amazing! This is the stunning and intense conclusion to Kader and Laurel’s epic story. As this couple’s skillfully choreographed dance draws to a close readers are treated to more twists, drama, revelations, intrigue, action and heart stopping, edge of your seat moments. I loved this couple so hard!! Their journey has been long, sometimes painful and extremely emotional. Deep, powerful and incredibly beautiful, the love that these two share is almost tangible. I’m sad to say goodbye to this couple but I am thrilled to say that I am also completely satisfied and pleased by how it did.
Another epic conclusion to another epic series by Aleatha Romig. Bound took me to new levels of excitement. Mystery and intrigue all wrapped up in beautiful colours that is Kader.
Aleatha once again masterfully moves her characters around the chess board which has you on the edge of your seat waiting for her next move. With the Tangled Web series being tied to the Web of Sin series, you are given two swoon worthy men, Kader and Sterling and my heart could not be happier. Add in Laurel who is not your typical damsel in distress but a strong-willed, intelligent woman who you will cheer on as she literally strips away every complicated, beautiful layer that is Kader. Once all the moves are made and the game is over, you will be left feeling completely satisfied as Bound wraps up the Tangled Web series in true Aleatha fashion.
A great ending to the Tangled Web series. Solving the mystery surrounding Laurel’s work took many twists and turns. In true Aleatha Romig fashion, Laurel and Mason’s paths crossed multiple times through their lives, sometimes without even knowing it. The chess match is finished and I can’t wait for Patrick’s story in Web of Desire.
Bound is the much anticipated third book in the Tangled Web series!
Aleatha Romig is truly a master weaver of tales! She has brought us an intricate story made of of so many different characters, twists and turns and constantly moving parts and I loved every minute of danger and suspense that this trilogy contained. She kept you constantly guessing and trying to figure out how this story would all play out but now we finally have the needed pieces to the unanswered questions that fill in the blank spaces of this complicated puzzle.
If you haven’t been Aleatha’d yet, what are you waiting for?
