Guardians of the Realms #6
Binding Ecstasy
A Beautiful Weapon Contained.
Natasha and her sister were created with sinister purpose. They were Apollo's most deadly and potent weapons. After finally escaping the evil God long ago, they made a secret life concealed among humanity in Earth Realm. There, Tasha has spent her nights watching the mortals at her club engage in erotic scenes that leave her aching… desperately longing for someone with the power to dominate her, to provide the pleasure she craves. For her own safety she knows she’s destined to live her life in the shadows, but when she sees a male who sparks an insatiable hunger she is unable to remain hidden.
A Powerful Guardian Restrained.
Bastian and his fellow Guardians have spent the last month in a fruitless search for Apollo. They know that something dangerous is on the horizon and it is imperative they lock away the corrupt God immediately. After recently witnessing a number of his brethren find their fated mates, Bastian never considered that he would also be blessed. But when the calm and controlled Guardian sees his alluring and seductive female he learns just how wild and consuming the mating frenzy can be. However, his mate is incredibly powerful and at risk of being caged by his own brothers if he doesn’t do everything, including lie, to protect her.
Immovable Object, Meet Irresistible Force.
It's a battle that both will win if they can survive the deadly forces, both friend and foe, that surround them.
Warning: This novel is intended for a mature audience. You will find kick-ass females, explicit sex, voyeurism and alpha males with bad language.

4.5 Stars
I swear to all things holy, if my ovaries haven't cumbusted by the 3rd book in this series, surely they're steel plated right now. Because this book? I can't even with how hot it was. No seriously. There's hot, and then there's Setta Jay Guardians hot. It's a category all of it's own and ovary survival is not guaranteed. As a matter of fact, say goodbye to those bitches right now because no way can they make it through this book.
But let's be real here for a moment; I may be a pervert but I'm a pervert with standards. I want a great story to go with my book porn and this has it in spades. If anything, each book in this series continues to be better than the last. They're my crack of choice and I'm not planning on rehab anytime soon.
Meet Bastian...
Guardian, badass and sporting some enviable hair. Along with his fellow Guardian brothers, he's been on the hunt for Apollo who has been recently been released from his stasis prison and wreaking havoc in the earth realm. They're determined to bring him down and also find the answers about how to deal with Drake's mate who seems to be pained at his mere presence. Those questions lead them to a club...
Meet Natasha
Natasha used to be Apolo's secret weapon until she escaped his prison along with her twin sister and has been hiding out in the earth realm ever since. But when a sinfully sexy Guardian steps foot in her club, she doesn't understand her instant carnal reaction to him. Being in the earth realm for as long as she has, she has no idea about matings or Tetartos. But what she does know is her hunger for a long haired guardian seems to only get hotter with each encounter.
What I love about these books is how flawlessly Setta manages to write two parallel story lines. You get Tasha and Bastian, you also get her twin sister Nastia and the phoenix Guardian Sander. Along the way you also get a tantalizing peek at Drake and his mate. But the two main stories are Natasha and Nastia. It's more like 70/30, but it just works. What's even better, is that the secondary romance is even more tantalizing than the main one. They typically stretch over two books and manage to keep the reader panting for the next book for the conclusion of the story, which is exactly where I'm at right now. I loved this spicy little number and can't wait for more. If you haven't discovered this series yet, you're seriously missing out. Fair warning though, if you don't have a significant other on hand as you're reading side-effects may incur...

Get the frenzy out of here…
***Could be spoilerish if you haven't read the previous installments in the series. Best to be read in order***
In Binding Ecstasy we see another mating frenzy and another Guardian bites the dust…these guys and gals are dropping likes flies. First off, I just have to say that it squicks me out when you mix a kinky books character and a family member's name…WRONG!!!
I really enjoyed this latest installment of The Guardians of the Realms, but to be honest, I was worried. I started it, found out that Tasha and her twin sister Nastia were created for evil purposes, and worried that they would cause destruction and devastation or be a new accomplice for Apollo. It turned out OK though, because you can be made for a purpose, but it doesn’t always take. Both Tasha and Nastia don’t have ambitions to take over the world. They are trying to live a normal life in the earth realm. Well as normal as can be, considering the fact they’re immortal, hiding from the guardians and have a goal to achieve…kill Apollo.
Bastian and fellow guardian Sander are in an erotic club, probably wanting to get their jollys off (they are Guardians after all), when both of them feel something off. Neither of them can work out what it is, but both wished they had more time to investigate. They are there on a mission to track down the missing God, Apollo. That slippery little sucker keeps getting away from them, and Drake (head honcho Guardian) is loosing his ever loving mind because of it. Eventually, Bastian makes time to investigate and is stunned to find two immortals hiding out (more like misting out) and one of them is his fated mate.
Lots of getting to know you’s, mind chatting, bumping uglies and sharing of secrets, gets both Tasha and Bastian to a certain level of comfort with each other. Unfortunately, Bastian has kept a teeny, tiny secret from Tasha that he knows could blow up in his face. When push comes to shove, and the secret comes out, Tasha knows that he did it to protect her, but she can’t help but be a bit pissed off. Luckily, they get that their relationship is special and make every effort to be there for each other.
The sexy times in Binding Ecstasy were HOT!! Now, I know I say that every time I read one of Setta Jay’s books, but this one really did it for me. He’s not an asshole Dom and she’s not a weak submissive. They just seemed to work together naturally. I can’t really pinpoint exactly why it worked so well, but I think it had to do with the way he talked to her. Commanding, but sweet, dirty but loving…he just got it right.
Drake is having serious meltdowns, Apollo is still causing problems and Nastia and Sander have to work through some frenzies of their own. I’m also a little worried that Sirena is going to hit a brick wall soon. Every installment of the series she gets a little more used and abused. Come on Creators, get her a destined mate sooner rather than later please.
I’m addicted…and I’m not ready to quit. Bring on the next MATING FRENZY!!!

3.75 Psihi Mou. His Soul stars
Natasha and her twin, Nastia, were made for one purpose, a tool to kill the Gods. It has been centuries since they were held prisoner by Apollo and now choosing to spend their freedom hiding in plain site in the Earth Realm. They vow to never be a prisoner again, and do everything in their power to fog the minds of those they meet just to keep their identity and power a secret...that is until they fogged the mind of a Guardian.
Bastian has found his mate, and the instant that she reaches out to touch him, it's game on. Trying to protect his one and only from his brothers and sisters is no easy task, but they trust in him to learn more about his mate and twin, and the possible threat that they may be. Their mating frenzy takes priority from finding the missing God, but at least they have an enemy in common. Their lives may have taken a different path, but there is a reason for everything and Natasha and her twin may prove to be more useful than they originally planned.
Binding Ecstasy is another kickass addition to the Guardian of the Realms series, it features two assassin's born of a God's blood. Bastian is on the sweeter side of the Guardians, now don't get me wrong he still has a dirty mouth and the skills to back it up, but he takes his time to get to know his mate and court her as they continue on with the mating. I'm honestly not sure of what I feel about Natasha, while she was a badass by trade, there was something lacking making the other couples stories stand out more for me. While the main focus is one Bastian and Natasha, there are other couples gearing up for a very explosive mating, and I honestly can not wait. It almost never happens to me, but I was anticipating the scenes between Drake and his mate and Natasha and hers. I won't spoil it for you, since it's something you should experience on your own. But regardless I very much enjoyed this addition and can not wait to get my hands on the next!

4.5 Action Packed STEAMY READ!!!!
"I'm going to carry you, Psihi Mou. I love having you in my arms too much not to."-Bastian
Binding Ecstasy is another home run for the PRN Romance Genre! I started this series about a week ago and I just can't seem to get enough! This read had double the action, double the matings, and double the fun!
The hunt for Apollo is on and Bastian is in the heat of the search. Drake (their leader) is working at half capacity as he is grieving over his sick mate. As Bastian is on patrol, he visits a popular sex club and the scent hits him hard. Although it takes him a while to identify his mate, when he sees her he immediately stakes his claim.
"Can you take the animal in me, or do you want the gentle lover this first time, Psihi Mou?"-Bastian
Natasha and her sister own the club and are also frantically searching for Apollo. They want to kill him for all of the pain that he had brought upon them when they were young. Just as they are working to make their escape and pursue the god, Bastian enters the club and claims every inch of Natasha.
"You're my other half, Psihi Mou."-Bastian
The other Guardians are unsure of Natasha and her twin sister because of their strong powers. They have been living their lives in hiding and trying to shield the fact that they too are Immortals. Bastian makes it his mission to ease Natasha's worries and bring her safely into the Immortal Guardian fold.
Compared to the previous books, I found that there is more action in this book. The tension in the series has been building up to this point. I am thoroughly invested in each of the Guardians and their mates and this book seemed to bring everything to an explosive level! Bastian is definitely the most "dominant" of the Guardians and the extra sliver of BDSM LIGHT really added to the passion between Natasha and Bastian.
"She felt more a part of something than she ever had."-Natasha
Overall, Binding Ecstasy has left me on the edge of my seat. Now I will bestalking following Setta Jay's page as I anxiously await the release of the next book in the series. I have to know...will Drake and Delia find a way to be together? Will Alyssa be ok? What will happen with Apollo? This series is so addictive. I cannot wait for more! Bravo Ms. Jay! Bravo!

As you can see, I'm still extremely invested and loving this series! I've already got the next book, Searing Ecstasy, set up on my kindle and I can't wait to dive in!!
✯ Voices - mainly Natasha and Bastian, but we also get to hear from her twin sister, Nastia, and the leader of the Guardians, Drake
✯ Natasha and her twin were bred by Apollo to be his secret weapons, to kill the other gods. Hiding on the Earth Realm, they had no intention of being exiled to Tetartos. They've built an enjoyable life for themselves, passing off as powerful Mageia, and waiting for the day that they can finally take out their creator.
✯ Lots of hot sex everywhere!
✯ Although one of the twins' best powers was misting, somehow Bastian and Sander were still able to sense them and it was HOT!!
✯ Drake is mated to the feral Delia but because she was experimented on and already holds two beasts, how can they mate when his dragon could kill her? I can't wait to see how this huge problem is overcome.
✯ The hunt is still on for the god, Apollo. New dangers emerge and I have no idea what this means for my beloved characters
✯ Did I mention tons of hot and delicious sex?
As I said, I've already got the next book lined up to keep on reading. And I'm off!

~ 5 Binding Ecstasy Stars ~
Binding Ecstasy is book six in the Guardians of the Realms series. I don’t know how Setta Jay does it, but each book is more astonishing, outstanding, unique and unpredictable as the last.
When I open any book in this series I am sucked right back into this magical erotic world of the Guardians of the Realms and can’t put the book down. I devour the pages like an addict. I was blown away from begging to end. We have a incredible start and an unthinkable ending with more surprises, twist and turns throughout this fabulous book.
We are given some hot sexy alpha Guardians and some very strong independent women who end up loving so profoundly. Each character is as unique as their matings and they complement each other so adequately that it is never boring. The erotic scenes are so well written with these couples that I keep a fan on hand just to cool me off from the blazing hot sex. Everything is so well put together that you don’t want to set the book down.
Binding Ecstasy is another well written addition to this series. This is one series I highly recommend reading. It is also one that must be read in order, because each book builds on the characters, plot, and world adding so much more to this extraordinary series.

I've said it before but it bears repeating...I LOVE this series.
Bastian was just as yummy as his brothers with a little bit of kink thrown into the mix. Natasha and her sister, Nastia, are both great mates for their prospective Guardians. And the fight with the bad guy keeps evolving and changing and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Good grief it's another seriously smoking hot story about these Immortal Guardians charged with protecting the four realms. Each book has a different guardian finding his Mate and I know there will be some disappointment as this time it's the quiet and more restrained Bastian who is about to go through the wringer! The female meant for him is lovely but deadly and has a secret of her own! Fans of Drake fear not though as there's plenty of scenes featuring that tortured dragon. What is really interesting though is that the story arc is really pushing ahead now with the god Apollo having escaped from his incarceration. Forget golden boy and think more Frankenstein as this god is anything but nice!
When I first had these books recommended to me I was a tad unsure of the steamy ménage content as I really couldn't quite equate these possessive guys with sharing. Happily the author seems to have pulled away from that trope a little but it's still quite a hot read with acts not meant for younger readers. Who am I kidding? This book is about a dirty as it gets from voyeurism to light bondage and anything else Ms Jay can come up with! However the plot really does thicken here with events that no one could predict . Yes I still want Drakes story but Bastien and his incredibly screwed up ideas about courting Natasha are very entertaining but for this reader it's everything that's coming to ahead that keeps me reading. Bad ass hero who takes no prisoners. Dangerous but caring heroine. Mating heat too but best of all snark, action, unexpected enemies and I'm left wanting to know what happens next! Anything I didn't like? The abrupt ending because now I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the next book!

First let me start by saying we end with (the typical/another) cliffhanger not just in regards to a coupling left incomplete but also the overall story arc.
I should disclose I've not been overly interested in anything but the mating. Up to this point the story has been all about the characters. After this book that's changed for me the overall story arc & its continuation has finally interested me. I'm intrigued by the unknown & suspect I know why Apollo was captured.
The love interest in this story wasn't what kept my interest. Please don't misunderstand I found Bastian courting Natasha cute if a little overly romantic for my taste. Nastia & Sander's coupling was really what interested me. Nastia's actions toward the overly aggressive make prior to Bastian meeting Natasha was although horrendous also hilarious. I kept laughing out loud at every interaction between the two. They're a love hate type of relationship. I foresee fire in they're future interactions.
I rate this book a 4.5 & am highly interested in the next book. I'm hopeful the incomplete mating will not be treated the same way Vane's was.

Nastia and Natasha are identical twins created to be Apollos slaves. When they escape his reign, they make a pact to someday find him and kill him. They settle on running a sex club and it's here where Natasha sees Bastian, there is a strange draw to him and we find its because their mates.
Nastia was my favorite character, she is a strong female character who doesn't take noting from anyone. She is drawn to Sanders, but hates him at the same time. They are both have huge egos and are dominant. My favorite part of the book was when she dropped a stage on his head. Sorry I know it's wrong, but it was flipping hilarious and him nicknaming her 'nasty,' was funny two.
This book had a lot more action, then the other books and absolutely loved it. It was real page turner all the way to the end.

Holy Hot Guardians Batman! Book 6 in Setta Jay's Guardians of the Realms series left me wanting more. Ok, who am I kidding... They all leave me wanting more! With each new book I find myself falling in love with a new Guardian. This is one of my all-time favorite, top best-ever series! And it just keeps getting better and freaking better! Bastian was not at all what I expected, and that was fabulous! In the previous books, we didn't learn a lot about him other than that he could port and he was quiet. Well, move over guys cause there's a new dominant badass in town!
I loved every minute of this book. When I got to around 90% I had to take a break. I was so into it that I knew when it was over I'd be left in the biggest book funk, which usually happens after I finish one of these books! I just wasn't ready for it to be over! I'm still not ready for it to be over! I WANT MORE!!! But alas, I went back and read the end and now I'm left in limbo waiting for the next installment!
I don't want to recap too much as it will give spoilers. And anyone who knows me knows I usually don't mind spoilers, but this series is so good it needs to be experienced spoiler free! There is an ongoing story arc that progresses in each book so I would definitely recommend reading them in order. However, each book is about a different Guardian finding his mate.
Here we have Bastian, the Kairos Guardian who meets his mate Natasha. Her and her twin are special. They have abilities not seen before and are some pretty badass ladies! I especially enjoy books with a strong female lead and there is an abundance of that in this series.
Natasha gives Bastian a run for his money for sure. She struggled with her feelings towards him, but ultimately knew what the end result would be. I loved how Bastian was with her. I especially loved seeing another side to him and how he felt towards his mate. Not to mention, his sexy dominant side was freaking hot! ;)
There was lots of action in this book and as I mentioned before, the ongoing plot definitely thickened in a way that I seriously hope Mrs. Jay is already hard at work on book 7! I really enjoyed getting glimpses of Drake and what's going on with him as well as Natasha's sister! I really don't what else to say that won't give too much away! All I know is, this series is amazing and I can't recommend it enough! Binding Ecstasy was a fabulous addition and I really can't wait to see where the next book will take us!
A special thanks to Setta Jay for providing a copy for my honest review! You Rock! :D

Book 6 of the Guardians of the Realms series, Bastien and Natasha's story.
Having just read the first 6 books of this series back to back, I keep expecting to get bored with it but it hasn't happened yet. This book focuses on the relationship between Bastien and Tasha but we also get glimpses into the relationships between Sander & Nastia and Drake & Delia. I'm looking forward to Drake & Delia's book because there are serious hurdles in their way and I'm dying to see how it's going to work out. Bastian and Tasha's relationship was sweet and hot, Tasha is another strong heroine and the dialogue between her and her twin sister after Nastia caught her with Bastian was really funny.
A lot happens with the ongoing story arc in this book and things on that front are really getting interesting with new protagonists getting thrown into the mix as well. I'll be reading the next book ASAP.

..sniff, sniff.. It's over, you guys. I've reached the last book (so far) in this series. What am I supposed to do now? Wh..what? Did you just say I had to wait for it like everyone else???? No, say it ain't so! Damn it all, I really dug this book!
Natasha was pretty awesome. Maybe not quite as awesome as Alex (Book 1) but Natasha didn't have as much of an opportunity to showcase her awesome-osity...yet! Natasha and her twin, Nastia, escaped Apollo's labs millenia ago and have lived quietly in the Earth Realm ever since. They've been running this hybrid dance/sex club and it sounds pretty profitable...and a lot of fun! This story focuses more on Natasha but I felt like I got to know both women equally. I loved Natasha's bad assery because it was tempered with...maybe doubt? She didn't seem as balls-out bad assed as Nastia was. It made Natasha feel a little nicer, a little softer around the edges. Less feral, even? But she was seriously effective in battle and I was glad to be reminded of that towards the end of the book!
Bastian has been in the background for a lot of the previous books. And I think I've always pictured him as a slightly more modern Khal Drogo. Shorter hair, more frequent baths, less make-up, shorter beard... you know. That's not who the author pictured. If you want your drool quota for the day, check out her inspirations for her characters here: http://www.settajay.com/guardians.html
Some of them (Dorian, Bastian) I didn't agree with. Some of them I did (Drake, since you know I'm a Chris Hemsworth freak!). But it's fun to have something to start with. But back to Bastian. I have to admit that Bastian, as powerful and bad ass as he was, had a difficult time measuring up against the other Immortals who house animals inside them (shifters). Sure, he's a super powerful teleporter but that doesn't sound as sexy as King of the Wolves or something, you know? I loved him anyway, though, and he was pretty great in his own right. I loved how he planned to punish Natasha for things she didn't even realize she was doing. And when I say punish, you know I mean punish sexually, right? I mean, that's the best kind, yeah?! :D
This book was super hot. Now, maybe I'm not remembering correctly but I FEEL like this was one of the hotter books in the series. A little more BDSM than usual but nothing too crazy. The relationship between Natasha and Bastian progressed quickly but it didn't feel rushed. Sort of like my stuck in reality brain said, "Wow that's fast" while my caught up in the romance brain said, "Oh shut up, you!" and I barely even noticed it.
There's a lot going on in this book. Someone bad and important is missing, there's a whole NEW threat discovered, there's still something wrong with a main character's suspected mate, and there are TWO new people getting mates in this book, as well. It would be tough to start the series here but our readers are nothing if not smart AND stubborn so if you want to, you probably can. But (as always) I implore you... no I beg you... start at the top with this one. Sure this book was full of drama and action and... ACTION (wink, wink) and I was on the edge of my seat for a lot of it. Why would you sell yourself short and only get a small portion of the story? I know you... you wouldn't. So put this on your TBR and go get the first book in this series. You won't regret it. Besides, I'll just be over here bitching about how I have to keep waiting for Book 7 in this series and who wants to listen to that??? ;)

The 6th in a series of awesome hot paranormal "Guardians". I know they should be read in order for the best continuation of the series understanding. Having said that, I have not read them in order tho they are all in my TBR for Review list. Regardless of that faux pas I can honestly say you can read them in any order and be happy. Well I can. Setta Jay has written an awesome series here.. I fell in love with these guardians and their incredible mates in book 5(my first read in the series).
Here we have the journey of mystery, trust, and love. These two fated couples, Sebastian/Tasha and Sander/Nastia will keep you turning the pages as the guardians attempt to keep the realms safe from the recently escaped god, Apollo. I loved every page and I hope you will too.

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~
This book forms part of a series and needs to be read in order, to gain the full picture. ... *fans herself repeatedly* these books are definitely more effective than global warming at getting a girl's pulse rising - I'd probably break a blood pressure monitor!
I am loving these stories so much in their own right, and cumulatively the main plot ties together what otherwise would be combustible reading. Even though we know what's coming, turning the pages is so full of anticipation that I fear I am reading too fast. I plan on reading them all again, as there are bound to be plot twists that I am missing in my excitement to read about the latest delicious pairing. I have had trouble deciding who I am happiest for, but really the whole team so far has been deserving of their mate, and as hot as a furnace. Definitely books to be read in private with possibly a pitcher of iced drink to hand - and a long straw. We are left with some more questions, and Guardians who deserve their HEA too - so I am delighted that the next book is available very soon!

Title: Binding Ecstasy
Author: Setta Jay
Genre: Paranormal Romance/Erotica
Format: Ebook
Pages: 290
Rating: 5
Setting: Tetartos Realm and Earth Realm
Main Characters: Natasha and Bastian
Supporting Characters: Drake, Sanders, Nastia
Summary: Natasha and her sister, Nastia, were created by Apollo and kept hidden. Now millennia after they escaped where they have concealed themselves on earth a few Guardians start showing up. Not knowing about mates Natasha throws herself at Bastian (giggle).Will Bastian be able to claim his mate while trying to protect her from the Guardians?
Thoughts: I can’t seem to get enough of the Guardians! Although if I had to pick just one I’m not sure I could, they are all so alpha male yet so gentle and sweet when it comes to their mate. I’m somewhat glad I’m reading these as ebooks, I think if I had the actual book it would be sopping wet before I even finished it, the characters are so lickable. I can’t wait to see what’s in store next!

I have to say this one was my favorite of the series. Natasha and Bastian were amazing together. The storyline was engaging and entertaining. The chemistry was off the charts. Overall, a great addition to this series. I don't know who's next up but I can't wait for the next one!

Read more reviews at A Lust for Reading. I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
One by one, Bastian has watched his brother Guardians find their mates. It warns of bigger things to come within the Realms but he also can't help but wonder if he might be next. While it isn't something he had ever hoped to find, now that the possibility is there he can't help but to be filled with anticipation. Natasha and her twin Nastia were Apollo's secret weapons. After finally escaping him, they have been waiting centuries to get their revenge on the God who experimented on them and held them captive. She in no way expected Bastian or the frenzy that took over her body when they meet. She doesn't understand any of this talk about mates and her brain doesn't trust him but her body has a mind of its own. While these two are discovering each other, what new threats will come upon the Realms?
I know I say it after I read every one of Setta Jay's book but OH MY GOD I love this series! And this book was every bit as good as the others. I. Loved. It. From the first page I'm transported to a fantasy world and I never (ever) want to leave. Once again, the author has created a powerful story filled with action, suspense and lots of steamy sex. These Guardians can be down right filthy at times and it is delicious.
I liked Bastian a whole hell of a lot. In addition to his alpha warrior side, he also has a sweeter side that makes you melt and makes him irresistible. Natasha is another strong, independent female lead who has no problem keeping up with her Guardian or putting him in his place when needed. They were perfect together.
We also have a couple side romances going on that really keep things interesting plus the overall battle with a certain God. The story is jam packed and it kept me glued to my Kindle from start to finish. I NEED more and already I can't wait for the next book.

But then once they touch the Matting Frenzy is eminent. Twins Natasha, Tasha for short and Nastia were identical except there hair Nastia was short and a had a penchant to inflict pain and killing. Tasha had long hair and was kind and good alway worried about her sister's black side. The twins owned a Club which had many rooms where anything goes they were there for century's and they were safe. The twins were created by the God, Apollo , they were his special secret weapon. He experimented on them, tortured them, used them, loved them before they escaped with others from his prison and tried to make a new life for themselves on Earth with the Club. They had become laxed, when the Guardians came the twins would turn into mist so they weren't seen. Sanders short for Phoenix had come to them at least ten times and Nastia would take him to a room have some fun, then used her gift to scrub his mind so he didn't remember anything, that way he +:: :-) come back. But he did and Bastian short for Sebastian followed him. Tasha seeing Bastian, did things she's had never felt before.

Wow, this book needs to come with a warning to keep the ice handy! Bastien and Tasha's story is smokin' hot. Natasha and Nastia are twin sisters running an "erotic" club on earth, keeping below the radar of the Immortals. They were created by Apollo to be his killing machines and kept secret until they finally managed to escape long ago. By spying on the Guardians, they learn that Apollo has been freed from his stasis, and it appears he has the ability to move between realms. They plan to draw him out and kill him; their need for revenge running deep. As the Guardians get wise to their presence, Bastien knows that Natasha is his mate. Trouble is, she doesn't want a mate, especially a Guardian, and the girls have no idea of just how powerful the bond really is. Fighting it as best she can, Tasha leads Bastien on a merry chase, until she can no longer fight the pull and gives in to the inevitable, which will give them both added power needed to capture the elusive God. Bastien knows Tasha's secret fantasies and, boy, does he deliver them up with a wallop...literally. With Drake losing it, Nastia and Sander fighting tooth and nail, Binding Ecstasy takes us on a sizzling erotic journey to find the escaped God before someone gets killed.

Natasha and Nastia are twin sisters running an "erotic" club on earth, keeping below the radar of the Immortals. They were created by Apollo to be his killing machines and kept secret until they finally managed to escape long ago. By spying on the Guardians, they learn that Apollo has been freed from his stasis, and it appears he has the ability to move between realms. They plan to draw him out and kill him; their need for revenge running deep. As the Guardians get wise to their presence, Bastien knows that Natasha is his mate. Trouble is, she doesn't want a mate, especially a Guardian, and the girls have no idea of just how powerful the bond really is. Fighting it as best she can, Tasha leads Bastien on a merry chase, until she can no longer fight the pull and gives in to the inevitable, which will give them both added power needed to capture the elusive God. Bastien knows Tasha's secret fantasies and, boy, does he deliver them up with a wallop...literally. With Drake losing it, Nastia and Sander fighting tooth and nail, Binding Ecstasy takes us on a sizzling erotic journey to find the escaped God before someone gets killed. With more and more guardians finding their mates, it is becoming obvious that the timing is leading to something big on the horizon. Setta Jay, as usual, you've left me wanting more, bring it on!

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
In Binding Ecstasy, things are looking dire for the Guardians. Apollo is up to no good and they can’t seem to catch him. Drake, who wasn’t exactly sweet and cuddly to start with, is now in full dickhead mode because of the situation with his mate.
Bastian was freaking awesome. He was strong, protective, and one heck of a dominant. And OMG the sexy times talk. I’m pretty sure my ovaries not only combusted but were orbiting Pluto at one point. Mmm, yeah.
Tasha was another strong heroine for this series. I did feel like we weren’t given all of her. It just felt like her character wasn’t as deep as it should have been, but I liked her nonetheless.
In contrast, her sister Nastia kind of stole Tasha’s thunder. With as abrasive and grumpy as she was, I can’t say I liked her much until the end. Then a softness came through that had been lacking and I started changing my attitude toward her.
With this installment of the Guardians of the Realm series, I kind of felt like we were in the Empire Strikes Back portion of the series. There is an overall desperate feeling with more bad news coming in that good but I know things will change eventually. I’m thrilled to be along for the ride though. This is action-packed ovary combusting goodness that has me clamoring for more.

Not sure if I've mentioned it, but I absolutely LOVE this series!!
The paranormal aspect is not "too much", the characters are freaking fantastic, and the story is just intriguing. There isn't any "down" time in these books, and my interest is held from beginning to end.
Bastian is the quiet, logical Guardian - he's always in the background but has never really been a big part of the story - UNTIL NOW!! A Kairos (teleporting Guardian), he doesn't house a transformation beast - which helps him keep his head in volatile situations.
Natasha and Nastia are twin sisters, who fled the "labs" and made a life for themselves on Earth.
They've avoided any attention from the Guardians and/or Immortals - until Sanders and Bastian enter their club!!
While the Mating Frenzy attacks Tasha and Bastian (of course this is seriously HOT), there is sooo much more going on!!
Drake...that's all I can say, poor Drake!
Delia - will she ever find relief?
Apollo?!? Ugh
So much going on, so much MORE I want to know.
I CAN NOT WAIT for Drake's story...and Sanders ;)

Wowee. Another hot one, but boy, this was definite hotter than the others with some BDSM eroticism as well. Out of all the Guardians, Bastian always came across as this silent and controlled Alpha gentleman, but Tasha certainly shook him and unveiled his true nature. I loved, loved this book.
A lot more world building in this one, and lots more intrigue and the action was not only pulsing, sexy as hell too. I love Tasha and her twin, Nastia. They are hot, sexy, powerful women, created for nefarious and evil intentions, yet they are both such honorable women. This book was explosive, enjoyable, entertaining and I just had to finish it in one sitting. It had the same general elements of the previous books, but Tasha and Nastia brought something different with their powerful abilities, and yet, such different personalities. Nastia is psychotic, whereas Tasha is gentle, yet, no less powerful.
Tasha and Bastian are hot, hot together, and I loved their story. I love how this book intertwines the previous book of Conn and giving us more depth of the intense world building of Setta Jay. The connection of Tasha and Nastia to some of the other mates in this series gives you this picture of puzzle pieces slowly clicking into place.
The ending of this book was explosive, with lots more questions, but also excitement for the next one.

✦Review: Binding Ecstasy (A Guardians of the Realms Novel) by Setta Jay http://wp.me/p3d0RZ-2w7
Publication Date: May 28, 2015
Genre: Erotica/ Paranormal Romance
Reviewed by: Reading in Pajamas/ Donna
Rated: 5 Stars
REVIEW:
I remember the thrill when reading book one of this series and I have to say book six keeps it going like a steam engine. Hot sexy alpha Guardians and the strong women they love can be used to describe a lot of books but Setta’s Guardians push it to the extreme. Each character is unique as are the matings yet they all work so well together as to be seamless and never boring. Bastien has rather dominating tastes which blended so erotically well with Tasha’s desires that I found myself blushing a time or two. Blazing hot sex, danger and intrigue all packed together so that you hate to put the book down. Nastia, Tasha’s twin is a tough as nails female who also meets her match though I won’t give it away except to say that I eagerly look forward to the continuation of that story. Again, a well written addition to the series that tenses you up one moment only to melt you the next. I loved it!

- Interesting developments!!
- The atmosphere of danger and of impending doom for whatever's coming adds a lot of intensity
- Awesome start to Bastian and Natasha's mating
- How Bastian manages to be so sweet while also being dominant and awesome is a huge mystery :D
- Hot scenes continue
- Loved the whole parallel matings for Tasha and her twin!
- Nastia is so sarcastic and snarky and it's awesome. Even more awesome? Her dynamic with Sander!
We don't know much about Sander so I. Can't. Wait. To see what that pairing will bring.
My response to the ending scene: OH SHIT. Holy crap things are happening and it's about to get even more intense! (Who knew that was possible?)

“Don’t you have somewhere else you can be?” she snapped. “No, I’d much rather trail a female that drops fucking stages on my head when she’s pissed,” he bit out. “We hunt in fucking teams. You’re team Sander now, and once we find that fucking God, you and I will have shit out.” - Nastia and Sander :D
