It’s also possible that you’ve misremembered the title of the story. “The Bonds That Bind Us” might have been your recollection, or “Bonds That Bind” or even “Bound to Us”. If the author is listed as Taylor West, you should search for stories by “West, Taylor” as well as for stories by “Taylor Wilde” as it’s possible that the author’s name was listed in a formal, published listing in that way.
Note that most search engines allow you to use wild cards in your searches. While this could return a lot of useless results, the result you’re looking for could be listed under another word or phrase. So a brute force search like BondsBindTaylorWest could turn up your book, even if it’s listed under a somewhat different word or phrase.

Because links in reviews of current fiction are typically buried under a pile of current “Top Best” lists of SEO optimized material such as “Top 10 Alpha Romance Novels You Must Read in 2024”, most links are to a brief summary of the story followed by a link to Amazon or a generic homepage for an e-book app.
Most reading links aren’t linked to from high-profile review sites in the first place. They’re buried in old threads on two-year-old Reddit posts, in comments on old Tumblr posts, and in long-forgotten reviews on niche blogs written by true romance devotees. Google’s first page of results isn’t going to help you here.

I’ve been looking for ‘Alpha’s Shadow’ ever since a friend mentioned it. It might be a webcomic hosted on Lezhin or Tappytoon since it seems to contain quite mature themes. You can also search NovelUpdates for text-based versions and see if they’re translated, and if they’re licensed.
Other paranormal fanmade works I’ve looked into can often be found on Discord servers for such fiction, hosted on Google Drive or other forums for the work. (Of course, if it’s a webwork behind a legit site’s paywall, support the creator on their Patreon, or purchase chapters of the completed work — but oh, half the fun is searching for it anyway!).

Because this is a Radish story, my free reading experience is going to be somewhat fragmented. You can read the first batch of chapters immediately and then hit a paywall after that. You can then either buy coins to read more or wait 24 hours to get a free “key” to read one more chapter. I haven’t been able to find this book on any of the reputable free ebook sites (such as Project Gutenberg) or on library apps for your phone or tablet (such as Libby). There are aggregator blogs that post lists of “free novels” but these are generally spammy and contain links to download “free” novels that will fill your device with malware. It’s really frustrating but, in order to read this, you have to play along with the Radish system. Essentially it’s a free premiere of a serialized TV show and then you have to subscribe to keep watching.

Yes, the cover is seared into my brain. It is a rather typical ‘chiseled hero’ type of cover featuring a shirtless male with defined abs. A glowing moon adorns the background of the image. This type of cover is very recognizable and could potentially be used for reverse image search purposes to locate the book on various online storefronts. In order to perform reverse image search using only a visual of a cover (and no title or author), simply take a screenshot of the image and perform a search for it in Google Images. Most of the results will be for the book’s listing on online stores such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. You can then click on any of the results to be taken to the page where you can purchase the book in various formats. This is a really cool trick for more visually distinct indie books.

That mood, though. I spent an hour or so scouring the internet for a clean free read of that story before I gave up and headed to Webnovel instead. As it stands, they have plenty of free chapters to read, and you can even do it with the daily passes – just be prepared to watch an ad or two, or wait for the passes to refresh. It’s not exactly a completely free read, but it’s the official way to get free chapters, so it’s got to be better than the unofficial sites, which are a right old mess of pop-ups, missing chapters, and wonky formatting. Best bet is to wait patiently for an official app to come out for your phone, then you can have a decent free read without the risk of malware. Just set a reminder to grab your daily passes, and you can read a few chapters a day.

Beats me! Like I said, I stick to quality stuff that’s been published on Audible these days. It’s better quality control and I don’t have to worry about links not working or whether the author ever finishes the story. Searching for free online serials just got too crazy for me. But hey, that’s just me!

Note to reader: this scan is reading a rather cruddy translation of the romance between the protagonist and Amarah. The free sources do this storyline a great deal of injustice. I have tried to read it fairly and provide an accurate scan, but keep in mind that the poor translation has caused the dialogue to read rather painfully. It is much better in official source, for what that is worth.
When it comes to just Action & Cultivation development, translation quality does not really matter. Almost any translation of The Good for Nothing Boy will work fine for that. But for character development that helps you care about the characters, translation quality really matters. So skim the fight scenes on free sites, but spend money on the official app for key emotional scenes. Read hybrid.

A somewhat legalistic question here, as “legally” can mean many things. In the official licensed translation, it is posted on GoodNovel. Some readers include fan translations done with the author’s permission (even if granted through Patreon), but I’ve never seen that done with MXPXAT.
Stick with GoodNovel’s officially licensed translation to be above board 100%. As I said, copyright is just one of the reasons that you should support the authors of a work by purchasing it through official channels. More importantly, these translated works are products of labor. And even though the platform for delivering them can be gamified in weird ways and be woefully underproductive at times, it’s still good that the authors of these works will be able to see revenue from your reading of them.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited offers ‘Bitten by Fate’ amongst other related works. Read it for free with the Amazon Kindle Unlimited free trial month. You can also look for ‘Bitten by Fate’ on library apps like Hoopla and request it from your local library. I found this book whilst trawling through #ShifterRomance tags on Goodreads and comments on the Goodreads page for the book often include links to obscure sites hosting the work.
