Wars of the Heart #1
Bound
No good deed goes unpunished…
A trip to New Orleans with a friend for moral support was supposed to be simple—make sure she was safe, give her a shoulder to cry on, and bring her back home in one piece. But nope. Instead, we find her supposed-to-be-dead fiancé, a coven of secretive witches, and a betrayal so deep, I’m not sure any of us will ever recover from it. To make things worse, I finally found my soulmate. Piper Pendragon. And she’s a witch!
Another war is brewing, and this time, my heart is on the line…
The more time I spend with Piper, the harder I fall. She’s become my entire world, and I’ll do anything for her. There’s just one problem—she’s bound by a decades old blood oath that, if broken, will end in certain death for her and her sisters. She can never truly be mine, but I’m not one to give up so easily, and that means only one thing—me and my family are going to war. Again.

About the author
Kara Leigh Miller
33 books265 followersBorn and raised in the small town of Mexico, New York, Kara Leigh Miller was an only child who was forced to find ways to entertain herself. Playing make believe with her Barbie dolls and stuffed animals was her first real taste of storytelling before she became old enough to develop a love affair with the written word.
She began her venture into the publishing world as a wet behind the years author back in 2010. She started her career writing erotic romance, but in 2014, she had an awakening of sorts... Realizing the adult market wasn't for her, she shifted focus and began writing Christian romantic suspense. Dangerous Love and Jaded Love were her first published Christian novels. Now, she's shifting focus again and devoting her time to writing young adult novels.
Kara now lives in Michigan with her husband, four (of five) kids, four pit bulls, and two cats. She's a master multi-tasker!

It has been exactly *checks calendar* 317 days, 18 hours, and 54 minutes since I saw the Cursed characters last in Abby's book. THAT'S A LOOOOONG TIME AWAY FROM MY BABIES. Especially my ultimate favourite, Jax.
Back then I was so excited that my boy was getting his own series and I said (now read this part carefully) that I hope his series wouldn't be painful. Oh how naive I was!
Because, as we know from the Cursed series, Jax attracts pain like a magnet does steel. HE JUST CAN'T CATCH A BREAK, CAN HE?!
By the end of all of this he's going to need all the hugs in the world.
SO. We begin with Jax meeting Piper, which was covered in Abby's book, but since it was from her PoV we didn't get to see the full scope of what Jax was feeling.
I like that it was done this way, not just to refresh our memories, but also so newer readers could jump in and know what transpired, instead of dropping them in the middle of the action with all these characters they didn't know.
But, I'd still recommend they read all 7 books that came before this one, because they're amazing and worth reading, and so they could suffer with us from the beginning. It only seems fitting.
The rest of the book was them getting to know each other and all that fun stuff, but Piper comes with a secret, one that is designed to break his heart (and the hearts of everyone reading too).
There's also another super cool secret, I'm not sure if I was suspecting it or not. It was left for the end and went nicely with the cliffhanger.
NOW THE CLIFFHANGER!!! I WOULD LIKE TO CRY. A LOT. IT'S NOT FAIR TO END IT LIKE THAT!!! I am now going to be in a perpetual state of sadness until I can get my hands on book two.
ANYWAY, I am so so so so so so so so so so happy that Jax has his own series. And I did shelf this on my teen-and-ya shelf here on Goodreads, since the main series was YA, but it's more NA because of some scenes. Maybe like a cross between both categories? You should read it for yourself to see which category is best, because I said so.

Really enjoyed this book about vampires and witches. It is a very heart breaking romance. Blood oaths really suck and I hope the soulmates can beat the odds. Can't wait to read the rest of the series. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
