Bound to the MinotaurA Paranormal Shapeshifter Romance
Car trouble on a desolate road? Terrifying. The brooding, irresistibly hot mechanic who shows up? Utterly distracting…
Kess
Running is my only option. When a job offer across the country promises a fresh start, I grab it like a lifeline. But fate, it seems, has other plans. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with a broken car, I’m at my wit’s end.
Then he appears. Gregory, the grumpy mechanic with smoldering eyes, a scowl that could cut steel, and secrets as dark as the night. Trusting anyone has never been my strong suit, but when he uncovers evidence that my “accident” wasn’t an accident at all, he’s the only one I can turn to.
And the more time I spend with him, the more I realize—beneath the gruff exterior is a man worth risking everything for.
Gregory
Patience? Never heard of it. Tact? Doesn’t live here. I prefer my life quiet, my sanctuary off-limits, and my secrets buried deep.
Then she crashes into my world: Kess, the fiery little stray with a broken car and danger on her heels. She’s fierce, maddeningly stubborn, and absolutely captivating. Against every instinct, I find myself letting her in.
The closer she gets, the harder it is to keep my distance. And when her past threatens to destroy her, I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her—even if it means revealing the beast within.
This is Book Two in the Hillcrest Hollow Shifter series, but each book can be read as a standalone. Bound to the Minotaur delivers a grumpy Minotaur shifter, a fiery human heroine, an adorable kitten who knows too much, and a sizzling HEA that will leave you breathless.

Reviews and Comments
This was a fun story and a nice addition to the Hillcrest Hollow Shifters series of standalone shifter romances. This story was about Gregory (Minotaur shifter) & Kess (Human) and I enjoyed seeing how the two of them got together as well as overcame the obstacles that came up. I am also looking forward to reading the next book in this series about Jackson (Griffin shifter) & Gwendolyn.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
