All four of them. Four beastly princes. One awkward bookworm. An enchanted world of fae, magic, and danger. I've always loved fairy tales. I never imagined I'd actually be in one. When my father wanders into the enchanted realm of the fae, I know I have to go after him. And when he gets imprisoned, I'll do anything to save him…even trade my freedom for his. I had no idea I'd end up imprisoned by four fae princes who turn into beasts at night. I have to win my freedom, and that means making a bargain with them. They must find their mates in order to break the curse. If I can help them do that, they'll set me free. Sounds simple, right? It's not. Because against my better judgment, I'm starting to fall for these beastly princes. One is smart and sweet, the other mysterious and deadly, another flirty and confident, and the last prince… He's handsome, strong, has a wicked temper, and is dead set against breaking the curse. Why does he want to keep me here forever? But it's not just my freedom on the line. If I don't break the princes' curse soon, all the magic in the Enchanted Vale will be stolen by the evil—and stupidly hot—Prince of Thorns. And I'm not letting my princes stay cursed. Not after I've fallen in love with them. Perfect for fans of Jasmine Mas, Sadie Kincaid, and Callie Hart, Beasts of the Briar is the perfect blend of delicious \"why choose\" heroes, high-stakes curses and wars, and endless enchanting magic.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781464272202","publication_date":"20251104","publisher":"Sourcebooks","slug":"bonded-by-thorns","subtitle":"","title":"Bonded by Thorns"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"FIC009090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Fantasy Romance","score":0.8329,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027570","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Enemies to Lovers","score":0.8223,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"FIC009090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Fantasy Romance","score":0.8329,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC027570","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Enemies to Lovers","score":0.8223,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC009090","confidence_band":"high","label":"Fantasy Romance","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC010000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Fairy Tales & Myths","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Fantasy Romance","score":0.8329,"slug":"fantasy-romance"},{"label":"Enemies to Lovers","score":0.8223,"slug":"enemies-to-lovers"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Fantasy Romance","Good for readers interested in fantasy","Good for fans of Fantasy"],"related_lists":[{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-fic009090-fantasy-romance","title":"Fantasy Romance Books (fiction)","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-fic009090-fantasy-romance"},{"intro":"Fantasy and romance collide here, with high heat and high stakes.","slug":"between-the-shelves-romantasy","title":"Romantasy Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/between-the-shelves-romantasy"},{"intro":"Familiar myths and tales reworked with a new lens and voice.","slug":"how-its-told-retellings","title":"Retellings","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/how-its-told-retellings"}],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Amy de la Force"],"book_id":"9798217253074","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9798217253074.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":16.1852,"title":"A Kiss of Hammer and Flame","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9798217253074"},{"authors":["Brigid Kemmerer","Teddy Hamilton","Abigail Reno","Aaron Shedlock"],"book_id":"9780063391666","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063391666.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":15.4278,"title":"Warrior Princess Assassin","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063391666"},{"authors":["Sam Stark","Sara Raasch","Macmillan Audio","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9781250333230","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250333230.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":13.8205,"title":"The Entanglement of Rival Wizards","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250333230"},{"authors":["C.
