Even the strongest ties can be broken. After five years of searching, we thought nothing could compare to the devastation of our missing Bond.
We were wrong.
After a chance encounter, she’s been found; alive and enraged at being dragged back to the men she ran from. Made for us all, she's supposed to be the center of our world, but bringing our Bond home wasn't everything we imagined. With bravado that defies reason and lies that never taste right, nothing about our Bond’s story adds up.
The Gifted community is in crisis, deception at every turn, and it’s getting harder by the minute not to show them all what we’re truly capable of.
With our enemies closing in, one thing is for sure.
We won’t let her get away from us again.
*Broken Bond is a full-length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book of additional content is North, Nox, Gryphon, Gabe, and Atlas’s POV of the first book in the series, Broken Bonds. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations.
I went into this one really excited because I love this series, and I was curious to see everything from the guys’ point of view. And I will say, that part was interesting. Getting those behind-the-scenes thoughts and seeing what was actually going on when Ollie was brought back added a different layer to the story that we didn’t get before.
But at the same time… this book felt long. Like unnecessarily long. It dragged in a lot of places, and there were moments where I found myself getting bored instead of pulled in.
One of the biggest issues for me is that this really doesn’t work as a book alone. If you haven’t read the series, you’re going to feel completely lost because you’re only getting part of the story. Without Ollie’s perspective, it feels like you’re missing huge chunks, and that made it harder to stay fully invested.
I do think this is more for fans of the series who already know everything that’s happening and just want that extra insight. And if that’s what you’re here for, it does deliver on that.
I kind of wish there was a version of the original story that blended both perspectives together instead. Having Ollie’s POV mixed with the guys’ POV in one full, complete storyline would have made this feel a lot more cohesive and less like pieces were missing.
Even with my issues, I still love this series, so I’ll absolutely keep reading if more books come out from the guys’ POV. I just don’t think I’d binge them. This feels more like a read-a-little-at-a-time kind of book instead of something to fly through, because trying to read it all at once made it feel like a slog. I do wonder though if there is a work up to read both books at the same time? Like a tandem read maybe?
