Bonded by Thorns — Cozy Book Club Read (Book 1)

Bonded by Thorns by Elizabeth Helen is Book 1 in this romantasy series — and we recently finished reading it LIVE together in our Cozy Book Club on TikTok! I used my Kindle edition for the onscreen read-aloud so everyone in chat could follow along in real time.

💛 About the Book

BONDED BY THORNS is a steamy adult Beauty and the Beast retelling set in a fantasy fae realm. In this version, our beautiful bookworm doesn't have to choose between the four sexy fae princes. It is a full-length novel that ends on a cliffhanger. It includes MF and MM content. It is intended for mature readers only.

We laughed, gasped, yelled, swooned, and emotionally unraveled together — Book 1 was an EXPERIENCE.


In our Cozy Book Club, we use the Kindle edition LIVE so everyone can follow along — even without a physical copy.
