About this listen
Celeste Delacroix’s sister is dead. This is unfortunate… sort of. But it’s also an opportunity to return to the realm of Eiren and begin anew—if noxscura will allow her.
Cursed with dark magic, living virtuously has always eluded Celeste, but she’s determined to right the wrongs she wrought in the sleepy village of Briarwyke and maybe even find her ever after, happiness unrequired and, as she sees it, undeserved. But darkness accompanies Celeste as keenly as clumsiness and shame, and when she accidentally releases a new evil on Briarwyke, she must find a divine source of magic to destroy it.
Sir Reeve, Holy Knight of Valcord, is one such divine source—not to mention incredibly handsome—and as luck would have it, already intent on vanquishing the evil that plagues Briarwyke. Unfortunately, he believes that evil to be a noxscura-wielding witch who has desecrated his faith’s temple: Celeste herself. Abyss-bent on fulfilling his destiny, Reeve’s virtue and beliefs have never wavered because the world is simple, after all—there are those who are good, and those who are evil, and evil must be destroyed.
But what happens when a perceived evil requests assistance in defeating an even greater threat? Can Celeste and Reeve band together to save Briarwyke, or will their contempt for one another be their downfall?
Bound to Fall is a standalone spinoff of Villains & Virtues, a completed trilogy that follows the exploits of Damien and Amma. This book takes place in the spring, after the events of Villains & Virtues, and does contain spoilers for the series, including character death. However, Bound to Fall focuses on a new couple, Celeste and Reeve, who we did not meet in the original trilogy, and can be listened to as a standalone story.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Piper MacLean’s Christmas is a ho-ho-horror show, but she’s used to all that by now, five years into becoming the de facto matriarch of the family—still single and childless, much to everyone else’s chagrin. But she does have one indulgence every year: finding the perfect Christmas tree. While searching the national forest, Piper is led to a beautiful spruce by way of magic. Well, not actual magic—magic, of course, doesn’t exist—but it sure feels magical when she hears the voice of her deceased mother floating on the wintery winds, telling her just which tree to chop.

Lorelei Fischer desperately needed somewhere to spend the night, and, as if by magic, Moonlit Shores Manor appeared. But there’s a cost for everything, magic included. More than willing to escape her old life and fill the open position at the bizarre bed and breakfast, Lorelei quickly learns of the dangers waiting for her. She’s only human, after all, and casting spells, shifting into wild animals, and caring for mythical creatures aren’t exactly in the wheelhouse of a former barista and art school failure.

As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion. Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours. When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

I have one task . . . to steal the dragon lord's magic. Simple. First problem: I'm inexperienced. Second problem: I have to sleep with him to get his abilities. (I probably should've led with that.) As the thrall of a vampire, I'm used to being subjected to another's will. So when they tell me to seek out the dragon lord, I do it to protect my sister's life. Except there are times when I think the savage is more of a danger than the master I left behind. It's not just his threats I fear, but his gentle touches and piercing glances.

Second, staying late every Thursday night to take a certain mysterious customer's order is not the same as waiting by the phone for some man. Until the calls with the man who identifies himself only as "Fox" last for hours, and become the highlight of her week. Which leaves her to wonder, if his velvet voice can kindle her fire over the phone, what sort of alchemy might it inspire if they met in person?

Story
They say never bargain with the fae. They also say don’t get drunk on fae wine. Yet romance author Edwina Danforth has managed a blunder with both on her first visit to the infamous faelands. Now she's trapped in a magic-fueled bet she barely remembers with a man she’d be happier to forget. The terms? Whoever can bed the most lovers during their month-long dueling book tour wins a coveted publishing contract. The win should be easy for Edwina. She’s known for penning scintillating tales of whirlwind romance. There’s just one problem: her imagination vastly exceeds her bedroom experience.

Super cute.
This should be the last book in the Villains and Virtues series. It’s a standalone but the FMC is introduced (off page) in the first three, and the MMC in Bound and Tide. It’s cute, I enjoyed staying in the world a little longer.

Cute Fantasy Romance
I finished reading the first series right before this release was announced and was so excited because I was itching for more from this author/narrator combo. You can definitely read this as a standalone, but I recommend reading the other books to get more context to the world-building!
I'm very picky about narrators, and I think Seth & Ellen are my favorite, especially out of all the fantasy/romance I've listened to. I love the character voice Seth does for Damien in the first books and hoped this book would use the same voice for Reeve, but even though it didn't, it was still a good performance.
At first I was a little annoyed with Reeve's character for being so stubborn. But he grew on me and is super adorable after a bit. A lot of his character made more sense and was more relatable when I read him as sort of autistic-coded. Him & Celeste are a very cute pairing and tons of it had me giggling. I wish there was even more of them over the actual main plot quest lol.
Even though heavy topics are discussed, it's never in a way that feels uncomfortable or triggering (in my opinion) so overall it still works as a pleasant, casual listen.
I'm no literary expert, so I only have one real gripe, which is the pacing. When I saw I only had 1-2 hours of the book left, I was not sure how the story was going to wrap up with so little time. It had a satisfying ending, but it all happened so fast, especially in regards to some side character stories. Parts in the middle didn't necessarily drag on, but felt imbalanced.
Overall though, this was really cute and a good follow-up to the main series, and I definitely recommend reading all of it.

Loved this couple!
Such a sweet duo. Loved the parallels of their pasts and journeys of healing. I was worried about enjoying another couple as much as Damien and Amma, but Celeste and Reeve are just wonderful!

Love this world
This author does adult romcom better than most feeds her audience with humor, romance, drama and a HEA ending.

Interesting story, Imbalanced characters
First, this is romantasy with a dash of humor, so I’m reviewing it relative to that genre and the other Villains and Virtues books. Context matters! Sadly this book was somewhat disappointing relative to the original series. I didn’t feel like there was enough character development, and perhaps the story would have been better as a duology. My biggest gripe is how deeply traumatized the characters are - horrible abuse in many forms takes place, and the resulting psychological damage is all over the page for both MCs. There is some healing where they share their stories with each other, but the breakneck story line and ending really glossed over how broken these two characters were. It’s not explicit that their trauma is magically healed by the power of love, but pretty strongly implied bc it’s like their baggage and negative self talk just *poof* is gone and suddenly the FMC has confidence to vanquish…well, you get the idea. While it’s true that healthy loving relationships go a long way in helping people heal from deeply rooted trauma, it’s not a magic antidote. I was taken aback that this story would go that way, when I felt the primarily trilogy was a lot more grounded and honest about human emotions and interaction dynamics….yeah ok that’s perhaps a weird thing to expect in a romantasy, but it was so refreshing to read such an amazing series with great world building AND complex characters with messy but realistic emotions…and NOT wish-fulfillment subtly toxic shadowdaddy-bratty teenager relationships!! So yes, I was a bit surprised and saddened when this book threw two deeply broken characters together (seriously, the negative self talk was getting painfully repetitive) and magically healed their traumas with love (and spice of course). It’s not bad, just not to the level of the original series. As far as performance, the narrators did a great job, no notes!
