Description
As one of the twelve Guardians, Urian has spent the last several centuries in a constant battle to keep the inhabitants of Earth’s Realms under control. Humanity has to evolve, hell beasts need to die, and Immortals need mates. But lately, Uri's mind is overrun with thoughts of the sexy Demi-Goddess he’s forbidden contact with.
Alexandra and her brothers have managed to evade the Guardians for centuries. Sensing she was needed on Earth, Alexandra forces herself to stay away from the only male who has ever truly enticed her. Until her world turns upside down.
For a hundred years she’s watched Urian from the shadows, playing a wicked voyeuristic game to no end but to fuel her obsession with him. But now, she must seek out the enthralling Guardian to save her brother’s life, even if it means her own exile. Either way, she won’t go quietly.
Warning: This book contains explicit and sizzling sex scenes with big dominant males. MFM ménage, dirty talk and bad language.

"You changed the rules Goddess, now you must pay the price."
I have a slight addiction to anything romance. May that be rom-coms, to full blown messed up, warning, not for the faint hearted, dark romance. It all depends on what type of mood I'm in (and I feel no shame)
I received an electronic ARC copy of Ecstasy Unbound by Satta Jay for an honest review. This is the first instalment of The Guardians of the Realm series. Ecstasy Unbound is a paranormal romance and comes with a warning page before you even hit chapter 1! If that doesn't intrigue you, I don't know what will.
Anyway, this book starts off by introducing us to Uri, one of the twelve most powerful immortals. He and is brothers who we later meet have been tasked to watch over the four realms of the world (hence the name of the series). Uri is guardian of the Earth Realm and his main duty is to hunt hell beasts and keep the humans under control. We however learn that he is keep one teeny tiny secret... he has a mild obsession with a human girl named Alex (mild might be putting it a bit lightly).
Alex, also known as Alexandra has the ability to transport into the minds of those who are in need of help. During a complicated mission Alex has to risk banishment by her own kind to seek out Uris help.
The one thing I really enjoyed about this book is the "mate bond" element. When Uri and Alex first meet, they don't fight the connection (like most PNRs). They instantly bond with a sizzling passion that required fireworks (yes, it is that good).
Overall, Satta Jay has done a brilliant job in creating a complex yet intriguing world with numerous paranormal characters and a consistent plot (which I know we all love). The only criticism I have is sometimes I forgot what certain words meant, BUT the glossary at the beginning really helped re-jog my memory.
I have rated this a solid 4/5 stars.
I highly recommend this for paranormal romance lovers, as this is one you will not be able to put down without swooning at least 1 million times

Phenomenal read with well developed characters. A great balance between fantasy world-building and romance/smutty reading. A quick-paced read as well!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to read the rest of the series. The writing was well done, there was a good amount of action throughout the book and it held my attention. I was able to connect with the characters and became invested in their development.
The relationship between Alex and Uri is primal and beautiful. The author wrote their intimate scenes extremely well. I've read a decent amount of smut and the smut in this book is probably some of the best I've read. It was easy to follow the development of Alex and URIs relationship. I loved how protective Alex's brothers are of her. The dialogue between characters was done very well.
The first few chapters were a little confusing to me because I didn't realize there is a book before this one. As I kept reading everything was explained. The only thing I did not like was the overuse of curse words in the first 10-15 chapters. It didn't seem necessary and took away from the meaning of the words the character was saying. As the book went on the use of curse words died down and were not a distraction as much.
I was provided a free copy of this book through netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

My second time reading this book. It was just as good as the first time. When a Demi-Goddess meets up with a Guardian, in order to save her brother, can she withstand his charm and yummy looks long enough to get what she needs to help him. Will he learn her secrets?
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
