Made By Design: A Vampire Paranormal Romance (Blood Bound Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by J.L. Myers (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 133 ratings

Hunted and anything but normal...even for a vampire.


Amelia Lamont’s return to normal vampire life is threatened with a horrific vision, while new dynamics about her link to The Sight drive her to keep her growing and intrusive power a secret. And then there’s Ty—her sexy werewolf boyfriend—but can he truly accept Amelia’s connection and deepening bond with Kendrick?

Although she’s escaped with her life for now, Amelia knows Caius is watching and waiting, preparing for the right moment to take back possession of his experiment—her. As she searches for the truth behind her creation, the fabric of the past is torn away, leaving her questioning whom she can truly trust…the deeper she digs, the darker her past becomes.

Amelia’s outlawed romance with her race’s mortal enemy will be put to the ultimate test when her increasingly debilitating dreams turn catastrophic. For in the end, the truth always finds a way to come out, and vampire law is as unforgiving as it is fatal.

Will Amelia’s forbidden love for Ty save them…or guarantee their death?

I'm USA Today Bestselling author J.L. Myers, and I have an addiction. Books, books, and did I mention, books! I love all things supernatural and romance, with shades of betrayal, danger, characters you love, and characters you love to hate. Taking the leap from reader to writer was an inevitable step for me and I've never looked back. I love to live in my make-believe worlds (real! shhh, don't tell anyone :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Find out more about Amelia and Dorian's past in this thrilling second installment of the Blood Bound series!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Amelia's visions are getting worse, and every time she wakes up from one, she craves blood. Also, she is now bonded to her friend Kendrick, who is also in love with her, but she is still dating her boyfriend Ty. It is embarrassing for Kendrick to be able to see/feel everything that she and Ty do, and it makes Ty uncomfortable to have Amelia's best-friend-who-is-also-in-love-with-her to be spying on them all the time. Her mother is still against her dating Ty, but Dorian, Kendrick, and Amelia are still trying to compel her into telling them more information about Caius. 

    This book was definitely better than What Lies Inside. I love this series so far, and it just keeps getting better. 

    Even though this series is going to be a love triangle all the way through, I don't really mind it. I like the fact that Amelia is definitely in love with Ty, and she seems to be loyal to him. Kendrick also knows how to keep his space, and he doesn't do a lot to try to get in the way of Ty and Amelia's relationship. Amelia made her choice and has stuck with it. I am starting to feel bad for Kendrick though. In these YA novels, it seems that more often than not, the boy who has been friends with the girl for years always loses her to the new guy. I don't know how the rest of the series will play out, but I hope that he will eventually find someone to make him happy. 

    Also, I believe that the story with Caius progressed further in this novel. I really want to know more about his motives for turning Dorian and Amelia, and I definitely want to know more about Amelia and Dorian's parentage. I believe that the next few books are going to be quite interesting as we start to delve into this topic. Caius is a very interesting villain, and I want to learn more about him and his motives. Some secrets about his past will reveal themselves throughout this novel, and I hope that the other readers will find them as intriguing as I thought that they were!

    I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for a new YA paranormal romance novel with vampires and werewolves.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2014

    After reading the first book in this series, I assumed that J.L. Myers would go the route of Twilight and have her two main characters, Amelia and Ty, do the whole "star crossed lovers" thing for three whole books. Well, guess what? She didn't! Amelia and Ty have plenty of difficulties in their relationship, but Ty doesn't abandon Amelia "to protect her". Instead, he actually protects her... and helps her and her friends learn how to protect themselves! (Gotta love a guy who's okay with dating a strong woman!)

    And Amelia doesn't spend her time jumping off cliffs and pining for her love. Instead, she's undermining the evil vampire Caius and evading all of his planned attacks! She knows what she wants in her life, and she fights for it in this book. (Unlike the heroines of other books who just wait for someone to save them...)

    Aside from the (sexy, hot!) romance, this book contains a ton of action with vampires and werewolves duking it out with other vampires. The twists in turns in this book never failed to surprise me, and I loved J.L. Myers personal development of the supernatural aspects of her world. She has really created her own mythology for vampires and werewolves, and done it very well.

    I can not WAIT for book three. The author truly created an even better sequel to an awesome first novel, and I can't wait to read the ending she has planned for this series!!!

    I totally love Amelia Lamont, the star in J.L. Myers’ Made By Design (Blood Bound Series Book 2). And I love Ty - her sexy werewolf boyfriend - almost as much (equaled only by how much I hate Caius). If you want a perfect “coming of age” tale, and a perfect vampire paranormal romance, you won’t fid better than this very well written series and story. Read the publisher’s blurb for all you need to know. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Heart-Stopping Romance!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    How can I wrap all my fear, love and dislike in one review? Well first off I just LOVE Amelia and Ty’s relationship. I’m team Ty all the way and I dislike when Kendrick tries butting his way in, but hey, he’s her best friend and I know she cares for him too. I also dislike Caius and I do hope he gets what’s due, even after that major bomb at the end. I swear this whole book was floating me up on cloud nine until the last quarter, then I was like ‘NONONO, WHAT’S GOING ON!’ and then yes, the end. Total cliffhanger, but I’m hooked and I need book three.

    There’s a lot to this book and I know sometimes page numbers can be intimidating, but this story does so well with all the action and world/character building. The story moves along swiftly and with many, many surprises. I’ll still be holding out hope for a HEA. (Don’t ya’ll just love the covers?)

    Made by Design is the second book in the Blood Bound series. Perfect for those fans of Twilight or paranormal YA romance - plenty of intrigue and thrilling scenes too.

    She did it, again!
    I was enthralled, enraptured, hooked, captivated,… I was so engrossed in the story the outside world didn’t exist anymore. Pure reader’s bliss.
    This book is major stuff. If you like Vampire Academy and book alike, it’s right your alley. You have to read it!
    I loved “What Lies Inside”, it was one of my best book findings of the year. I still think more people should know about it. Its only fault: book 2 was not published when I finished the first. I know, I know, I’ll never learn but what can I say, patience is not my forte. This seemed a too good opportunity not to read it.
    So I crossed my fingers, burnt a candle, went to church… and hoped my suffering would end soon enough. And OH MY GOD! Does JL Myers deliver…
    It’s finally out now and it’s got everything I love: vampires, supernatural hotties, werewolves, alchemists, forbidden romance, epic battles, kickass heroine, mysteries… You name it.
    And she didn’t lose her magic touch.
    It’s fast, never boring. You barely catch your breath after a threat and you’re thrown right in another ordeal. It was never ending. My head was spinning, I felt dizzy till I remembered I did have to breathe. Talk about crazy imagination.
    I loved:
    - the layers of mystery. Amelia’s identity quest is like an iceberg, you’ve barely scratched the surface. So you read and read and read again, in the hope to uncover all the secrets;
    -Amelia’s training with a wicked whip. She took some beating but was determined to kick some butts. She certainly is no fragile wallflower;
    -the make out sessions. And I hated them too because Amelia and Ty are true cross star lovers. It’s frustrating, there is ALWAYS something getting in their way! I thought “This is it! It’s the moment when they’ll do the deed but …NO” ! My new mantra was: “keep calm and DO NOT smash your Ereader” (bad idea anyway, I’ll never get to see what happens next);
    -the decoy. You think you figured all Caius and Amelia’s relationship? AH, AH, WRONG! Here comes a new rabbit out of the hat;
    -the suspense about Amelia’s identity. She is a what??? Poor girl, is she blessed or cursed indeed…;
    -Marcus’s role. I suspect he is not what he says and is much more shaddy to say the least. But it could be one more of JL Myer’s trick to send us on a false track.

    So now I’ll just have to go to the church, again. Maybe I’ll invest in a candle factory to speed the writing process of book 3?
