Denied

The Bonding Trials, Book 1

By: Evelyn Flood

Narrated by: Maeve York, JD Tomlinson

Sienna Michaels has been waiting for her invitation to the Bonding Trials forever.

It's her opportunity to match with an alpha pack and show off her training as an omega. When she's matched with the Cohen pack, Sienna gets a lot more than she bargained for at their Bonding ceremony.

Tristan, Jax, Logan, and Gray Cohen are Sienna's Soul Bonded fated mates. Destiny. Made for each other. Except… they don't seem that bothered. In fact, they don't want her at all. They want someone else.

Sienna has no choice but to work through the Bonding Trials and try to get to know her reluctant alphas. She needs to pass her Trials to be able to stay with the Cohen pack, and if she doesn't…

Well, she might be Denied.

So good but so hard to read/listen

Let me make this clear first, I love this book. It is so hard to read and listen too though because the story is so heartbreaking. The narrators are amazing and you can feel the pain in the characters. I think this speaks positively for both the author, who wrote the story, and the narrators bringing it to life. Sienna goes through it in this book. And it is heck of a cliffhanger ending. Luckily book 2 is out.

The plot at the end fell apart. Little to no character development…though I do like the writing

It didn’t make sense that they’re upset over him using an alpha bark on her to make her comply. She couldn’t consent high on pheromones, just as those strung out on drugs can’t consent. He respected her wishes and didn’t take advantage of her lack of lucidity. He had to do something to make her stop struggling against him.

It’s ok

I did buy the next book cause I need to know what happens so I mean, I guess it’s good enough to listen to the second book to get the ending of the story but I will say the four guys in it like I just don’t understand why the author wrote them so ridiculous. They are kind of ridiculous. I mean there they treat her without even knowing how they’re treating her like they have no common sense at all I mean even in dark mafia romances when the guy guys are being so brutal I mean, at least they have like a conscience but these guys like I don’t know maybe they’re gonna get better in the next book. That’s what I’m hoping.

Your going to cry

I am not ever been an emotional person ever . I don’t cry ever even when I should . This book hit me so hard . I cried literally the entire time I listened. I’m still crying . I can’t stop but I can’t stop listening and hoping for a happy ending . My emotions are all over the place now and I feel what she feels. This just shows you how good of an author they are . To write something so deep and get the most emotionless person to actually cry. My mom was murdered by domestic violence and that’s all I keep thinking about now and what women go through every single day in this world . I hope there’s justice for her bc there’s wasn’t for my mother.

The torture that they mentally put her through.

Ugh I hate that I am left hanging. It is an amazing book. I love all the correctors even the bad ones. Great book though.
