When I went to my neighbor's apartment to investigate strange sounds, I never expected to fall through a portal into another world. Yet here I am, a stranger in an even stranger land... and I'm stranded. In this world, might makes right, men carry swords, and gods walk the earth. Within minutes of arriving, I'm enslaved.

The one person that might be able to help me is also the one person I want to throttle most. Aron, Lord of Storms, Butcher God of Battle, is my new companion. Or rather, I'm his. As Aron's anchor to the mortal realm, I'm the one that's supposed to be guiding him through his exile in the mortal world.

But Aron and I have a common goal—get home. And we're bonded—anchor and god—with a bond unlike any other. So we travel together. We bicker. We bathe together. We fight our many, many enemies together. And sure, he's a god, but he's also an arrogant jerk. Brawny, smoking hot, irresistible jerk. I should want nothing to do with him. I certainly shouldn't want to do things to him.

Tropes:

  • Fish Out of Water / Isekai
  • Forced Proximity
  • Grumpy x Sunshine
  • Touch Her and Die
  • Gods and Mortals
  • Slow Burn Romance

My Review

I honestly love this book so much, that I cannot function like a regular mortal right now. I’m trying to read the final book in a set for my sister’ book club. I read this to fill a gap while waiting for them to catch up.
I have more free time with which I read fast and fiercely and now we are on our final set book club book, they are nearing the end and I can’t concentrate on it. (Sorry KoA I love all 900+ pages of you) but It’s Gods over Fae for my heart right now.
I just want more of my battle god! More imperious looks, more arrogance, more thunderous moods. More story. More, More, More.
This book will suck you right in and you will be forever bound & captivated to the wonder that is Aspects & Anchors. I laughed, I cried and I got the gooseys. I didn’t want the book to end. Fully deserving of every star I give. So, thank you Ruby Dixon, for sharing this delicious world with us. I will devour the rest of the series. As well as any and all future offerings you release. Bound to the Battle God will remain amongst my favourite reads. 💜
Now excuse me while I restart from the very first page..
Gods do not love. But I certainly bloody do.
