This guy was an asshole. First, he looks down on women in general, and humans in particular. Second, he “doesn’t let women tell him what to do” not even when he’s in said woman’s house, and what she tells him to do is get out because he’s making her uncomfortable. Three, arousal is not consent. This shit is from 10 years ago, but still. That was true then, too. Four, the toxic view of BDSM doesn’t help the bad rap it gets. Consent and trust don’t seem to have a place in this book. If the guy is hot, anything he does is excused. DNF 20%. Homophones being confused with each other and making some sentences unreadable didn’t make it any better.
Let me start by saying I love a book with a strong female and this book has it with Nerina. I liked all the different paranormal aspects of the story and that they were different then every other book of their kind. I finished it in one sitting. . Victor and Nerina have a chemistry but the aren't sure why. It adds too the book . great story.
I was given a copy for a review and I am happy to say I was not disappointed.The characters are all memorable.It has werewolves vampires and assasins.

[b:Arctic Bound (Arctic Wolves )|25445644|Arctic Bound (Arctic Wolves ) (Volume 1)|Tigris Eden|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1430247525s/25445644.jpg|42040455] by [a:Tigris Eden|5758136|Tigris Eden|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/authors/1460245582p2/5758136.jpg] is a Paranormal Suspense Erotic Romance.
This is one of those stories that starts out slowly growing on you until suddenly you just can't quit reading. You are ensnared. You must know what happens next. There are surprises and non-stop action that keeps the reader on their toes. All types of paranormal and supernatural forces involved. The suspense, action and erotica is throughout the entire story. Don't get comfortable. Just as you think you know what is happening, BOOM! Surprise! You really didn't see that coming!
Narina is a mystery. She is definitely keeping secrets. She seems human and weak to Victor, who is a born werewolf. But something about her smell keeps throwing him off. What is it about her that has him suspicious of her and at the same time want to take her with a growing passion that is becoming impossible to ignore.
Now for the bad. This story is rampant in editing errors. It is in need of the almighty 'Blue' pencil. There are words used in the plural when they should be singular. There are wrong words used in improper places. Here are 2 instances that I put into my Goodreads status updates. It's areas like these and other types of errors that interrupt the flow of the story and they are numerous.
" ... and a sequenced halter-top?" (should be sequined and no need for the hyphen)
".....She hasn't yet tasted my blood. It's one-sided. There's been no blood exchanged. Only the giving of my blood. I've not tasted hers."
Blue pencil needed please. If the first part had been edited out, this would make sense. As it is, not so much." (She hasn't yet tasted my blood needed to be completely stricken from this statement. It is untrue and does not belong. The rest of the statement is true.)
If the story had not grabbed me and held my interest they way it did, this would have a been a 3 star or even lower just for all the errors. The author really needs to reedit and update this story. If she was to take care of the problems rampant in it, this would be a 5 star + story. No doubt about it.

actual rating 3,5 stars
I received this ebook copy in axchange of an honest review.
Arctic Bound is an interesting and very good paranormal romance that was well worth my time. However, I don't have time for a long and good review so I will just say what I liked and didn't like, starting with the latter.
Tigris Eden uses too many words where they aren't needed and this is the main reason my rating is so low. Actually, I think it's the only reason because the writing of an author is a really important thing to me and using so many unnecessary words just frustrated me. She loses herself in descriptions of things that I am not interested at the moment and makes the special moment more minor than it is.
Overall, everything else is fine. I pretty much enjoyed the characters' story and their personalities. I loved the action and everything else. I will read the second book when it comes out.
So, Victor and Nerina are two very funny characters to read about because they either fight, fuck or wonder how to get into another argument but throughout the book their relationship developed and it is really well done. I as well pretty much enjoyed the other characters like Blue (he is bae) and Cassandra. They were supportive in a conservative race so I appreciated them really much.
What else? I enjoyed the story and loved the action but I already said that so I guess my short review came to an end. This wasn't the best paranormal romance that I've rest but it sure as hell wasn't the worst. It is enjoyable so...

This book was better than I thought it would be. I can’t wait to read the next one.
Meh. This story suffered from a lack of climax (*cough, cough*) which was disappointing. It had some hot sexual tension, but it felt like the story completely shifted to something new after the character reveal, and then the author just got tired of writing and threw together some brief plot points to try and finish the story as quickly as possible.
A let down after it did a good job of weaving in a decent plot into all the sexy bits. It ended up being cliche and trite. I'd recommend reading the first 2/3 - 3/4 of the book and then just stop after the character reveal.
