I read this not realizing that this threesome have two previous books in the series. The good news is, I really didn't feel lost in this book. This 3rd book was just another stage in their relationship.
After realizing my mistake, I read the blurbs in the first two books to get a feel for what I missed out on. I do think I missed the good parts about their first initial start and then the struggle to decide to continue on in a polyamory relationship. No Broken Bond is more about these three past the the indecision and are fully committed to each other. Now they they are dealing with reactions of family, friends and co-workers.
This book is dominated with the struggle with Fletcher's family and their disdain for his choices. The effect it has on him and then a tragedy happens and how these three deal with it. We get to see these three work together as a team to battle outside forces but also some left over insecurities in Fletcher.
After reading about the strength of the bond between these three, I really want to go back to the beginning to see how it all started. I would suggest starting at book 5 in the series. I did enjoy reading about Killian and Claire from book 1! ARC provided by NetGalley.

One of the most emotionally intense books I have ever read. I have been obsessed with this series since the beginning. This book left me emotionally drained in the best way. Talia, Drake, and Fletcher share one of the most intense relationships I've ever read about. The love they share is truly something every person wants to have once in their life. This book tests the strength of their bond in all ways. Starting with such a special experience within Drake's hometown. To a devastating event that truly broke my heart and left me sobbing. I didn't know if my heart could ever be whole again but this trio fights tooth and nail for their love. One decision could effect them all but they are willing to completely bend their bond in order to make it whole again. That is exactly what they did, their bond never broke and ultimately ended up as the strongest it could be. These amazing authors emotional writing has you feeling like you are experiencing it all with the characters. Epic does not even cover it.

This trio will steal your heart with their love for one another. They will take you breath with the passion they share and break your heart with the horrors they endure.
When you read this book you will cry for all of these people. Tragedy, heartbreak, and pure sadness await. But do not give up on them. True beauty will be your reward.
The sorrow we went through in No Simple Sacrifice was hard to take. The pain in No Broken Bond is almost unbearable. We see Fletcher's family again and they are a catalyst to the agony that Talia, Drake and Fletcher must go through.
The ending is absolutely beautiful and so uplifting you will forgive the authors for the heartaches. I am so very happy with this series and delighted with this resolution.

Secrets of Stone #7
Angel Payne and Victoria Blue
I was so surprised that this was book 7. I didn't realize that when I requested it. I had read book 1 and just assumed this was book 2. I really wish I had read the other books before reading this one. Because this appeared to be a continuation of the previous books. I was still able to catch on and enjoyed reading this one. And I still knew some of the characters from book 1 that made appearances in this one.
This was a pretty emotional read. The story involves lots of family dynamics. It shows how quickly your life can change. And how much you need people that love you to help you through the tough times.
I would definitely recommend this series to all my romance reader friends.
Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

This is another great addition to the Secrets of Stone series and here is the latest book in this series: No Broken Bonds by A. Payne and V. Blue.
Talia, Fletcher and Drake-wow these three fought so much to be together and it looked like they had made it but in this book, it looks like it all maybe falling apart.
When one of the trio starts to have doubts about their relationship, they are start to falter and fail in their relationship. Their love story is pretty stunning. Talia, Drake and Fletcher are all stubborn and their ménage type relationship is pretty exciting and hot. They have worked so hard to BE a family for the themselves and when it looks like it might all be for naught…let me tell you, I was screaming at my kindle and begging my fav couple to please stay together.
In the last book they had to deal with Talia’s family and now in this book they have to deal with Fletcher’s family causing all the drama. When will all the angst and drama stop so they can be happy and whole together? Fletcher lets his family do a number on him and he ends up taking it out on Talia…uh oh not good! He and Talia have always had a connection and he feels he’s not respected her after what happened so he ends up sneaking out on her and that leads to heartbreaking events. Is it too late to save this ménage triouple? Fletcher realizes albeit a bit too late he has made some big mistakes but will it be too late? Will Talia and Drake accept his apologies?
Their struggles are so real that this shown in this book-- the self-doubt, criticism, jealousy ,scrutiny, gossip, wants, etc… I loved the ending for it was how this should be and could have ended . I was so glad to read what I did. I don’t want to say too much for I would have given too much away and I don’t want to do that. This is definitely a one clicker for this book so get to clicking and get your book today!!!
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****

While I was aware that this is part of a series, I was under the impression each book was a new couple. The blurb definitely gave of a sequel vibe but I read it anyway.
No Broken Bond is about a triad relationship going through a tough time. Any relationship fighting the toils they are would be a rough navigation but with the extra person comes extra baggage, extra self doubt, and extra guilt. Let's not forget a ridiculous amount of self pity...oh maybe that's just Fletcher! Well, I might be inclined to indulge if I were him too.
I didn't have the connection to the characters that I should have- so I recommend hitting up No Simple Sacrifice first. It was entertaining without but I strongly believe knowing more about their connection would have made a more meaningful impact.

Honestly, i had thought that we were almost finished and resolved with this relationship between Drake, Fletcher and Talia because of the nonsense that they had gone through with Talia’s family and Drake’s running scared. But i guess i was wrong since now it was Flech’s turn to be nuts.
We get to see what his family is like after spending some much needed down time with Drake’s perfect and perfectly accepting brood. The change is like night and day though because there’s nothing that Fletchers family will do to accept them. There are things that are allowed in ‘society’ and being in a non-traditional relationship isn’t one of them.
We are faced with Fletchers worst fears at an anniversary party that his parents are throwing for themselves when they are gawked at, on the receiving end of stink eye and Fletcher gets an ‘undressing’ by his sister. when his anger gets the best of him and he shares some information about her boyfriend, well things go from bad to worse.
After that night, he has a moment of clarity (for himself not for anyone else) that makes him pull a Drake and go emo and decide that he shouldn’t be part of the relationship. Things go south in the bedroom with the three of them and words are exchanged between the men and the night can’t be saved.
This is where life changes. Because of those emotions, we know that the story will take a turn, and when that turn takes us to a trauma center because Fletcher is left in a car accident that has him hanging on by not even ONE thread, we are forced to question whether this relationship can stick. even if he survives.
What our authors are able to do well in this book but also with Killian’s venture into the darkness is that they really go all in with characters who are depressed, miserable and have lost the will to live. It’s depressing for sure but what it also does is show us the strength and power of the other side of the relationship, to really show us when people are devoted to each other.
There are more questions than answers in this book in regards to what really will be their future and what it looks like either healthy or not. Fletcher has severe brain injuries that affect his physical life, his emotional life, his weird unspoken bond with Talia, and his brotherhood with Drake. We even see the depth and heat of their relationship struggle and fall apart and that’s something that was always so powerful and unique. To get through this installment and see how it plays out is a feat of emotion and a test of how much you can stop yourself from crying.
The sweet bit is that we get to see the introduction to Taylor’s story as she’s the last one that we need to know more about. She’s clearly hiding behind something from her past which makes her the firecracker that we love, but it’s still to be uncovered. At the same time, we get to see another facet to Killian in the form of his broken relationship with his cousin Mac – a neurosurgeon that’s called in to help Fletch. there’s a dark backstory there which we never get insight into, but the men hate each other with a passion. It manifests into an intense intro to chemistry with Taylor and i can’t wait to see what that’s all about.

No Broken Bond (Secrets of Stone #7) by the enchanting duo of Angel Payne and Victoria Blue is THE rockstar addition to the series. If I could give it 50 stars, I would. I actually read this weeks ago, thanks to the Early Read from Totally Bound, and I read it in a couple hours. However, I had the hardest time reading anything else for the next several days because I was full of just so much! It takes a lot to knock me on my ass. They did it with a book.
Okay I need to get this out then I will be more coherent. HOLY F&@KING SH!%! My head hurts, my heart hurts, the rest of my body hurts (chain reaction. LOL). I think I need to buy myself a cozy recliner and rework my room because sitting in my desk chair and leaning on my bed for hours was sooooo bad for my joints. Now I can move on. LMAO!
My overall response first: Yes, I was warned. I’m not mad, I’m not blaming them for the fact that I was a mess for the days that followed. Angel and Victoria sucked me in so quickly that I’m still reeling, weeks later. From the moment I opened it up and started reading, I didn’t answer texts or even answer calls. I didn’t talk to anyone. And for the first time in my life, I didn’t have the TV or any music on to satisfy that part of my brain that has to be active with other things while I read. I’m not just saying that because they are my favorite duo. I don’t believe in saying stuff like this just to make them feel good unless they DON’T matter to me. And they do so they get my brutal honesty. I really hope that made sense. LOL. I’m a mess. I don’t think I’ve cried like that or that often in a very long time. I’m really not emotional. Expressive, but not emotional.
I fell completely in love with Tolly, Fletch, and Drake in No Simple Sacrifice. They even took over the spot of my favorite trio from Angel’s Lani, Kell, and Tait. Lani’s an islander, and even for a fictional character, the loyalty is strong. LOL!
The heat level in this one is insane. I don’t know if I can sufficiently describe how much different these were compared to everything else I’ve ever read. There’s just more, beyond the ménage aspect. Not just heat. Not just the power exchange. It’s just more.
There’s a scene where I wanted to ask why it happened, but I thought about it. When we find something so precious and beautiful and everything within us is just lit up, we want to share that, even in a small way, with those that we love. Especially when we know that they won’t approve of the details. We always hope that they’ll get past the details because they’re supposed to love us. Well I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say that it went to hell. After a couple scenes, I literally said out loud, “f@&king hell. Here we go. My heart’s going to be blown to pieces. Where’re my damn tissues?”
Just thinking about Chapter 4 and 5 makes my chest hurt. I don’t think I breathed from the moment I read a certain phrase until there was an explanation. I read fast, but that felt like the longest I’ve ever held my breath. If I could have breathed, the air in my room would have been blue considering how much I wanted to cuss. And yes, I knew it was going to get worse. My only consolation was that they eventually give us HEA. I can’t begin to say how much I was counting on that.
There’s a whole part where I imagine people may say that it was too much for the story. In my opinion, I disagree. It’s necessary. Painful, but necessary. It teaches the lesson that yeah, it’s okay to have your moments of self-pity and to wallow a bit, but not to live there. You end up losing some of the most vital parts of your life when you do…unless you’re blessed. But the one part towards the end that just killed me and you have to read it to find out what happened.
I went through a whole hell of a lot of feels with No Broken Bond. Here’s what I went through: needed an ice cold shower, wincing, wanting to put the brakes on, cussing my head off, holding my breath, finally breathing again, crying, grinning, laughing, wanting to knock some heads together, wanting to shake some sense into someone, UGLY FREAKING TEARS, sighing, and finally joyful and sappy tears. (My head and heart hurts just thinking about this rollercoaster!)
I loved, loved, loved, LOVED the hell out of this book! And I have to complain a little bit. Writing this review without spoilers was the hardest one I have ever done. So major props to Angel Payne and Victoria Blue for doing the impossible!

I sent this message to Victoria Blue the morning after I read it:
Note from 8am: I have such a book hangover that I haven’t even read anything (outside of work stuff) this morning except this, which I wrote about five hours ago. Prior to this, I never started my day without reading at least a chapter of whatever book I’m on.

Especially when we know that they won’t approve of the details. We always hope that they’ll get past the details because they’re supposed to love us. Well I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say that it went to hell. After a couple scenes, I literally said out loud, “f@&king hell. Here we go. My heart’s going to be blown to pieces. Where’re my damn tissues?”
Just thinking about Chapter 4 and 5 makes my chest hurt. I don’t think I breathed from the moment I read a certain phrase until there was an explanation. I read fast, but that felt like the longest I’ve ever held my breath. If I could have breathed, the air in my room would have been blue considering how much I wanted to cuss. And yes, I knew it was going to get worse. My only consolation was that they eventually give us HEA. I can’t begin to say how much I was counting on that.
There’s a whole part where I imagine people may say that it was too much for the story. In my opinion, I disagree. It’s necessary. Painful, but necessary. It teaches the lesson that yeah, it’s okay to have your moments of self-pity and to wallow a bit, but not to live there. You end up losing some of the most vital parts of your life when you do…unless you’re blessed. But the one part towards the end that just killed me and you have to read it to find out what happened.
I went through a whole hell of a lot of feels with No Broken Bond. Here’s what I went through: needed an ice cold shower, wincing, wanting to put the brakes on, cussing my head off, holding my breath, finally breathing again, crying, grinning, laughing, wanting to knock some heads together, wanting to shake some sense into someone, UGLY FREAKING TEARS, sighing, and finally joyful and sappy tears. (My head and heart hurts just thinking about this rollercoaster!)
I loved, loved, loved, LOVED the hell out of this book! And I have to complain a little bit. Writing this review without spoilers was the hardest one I have ever done. So major props to Angel Payne and Victoria Blue for doing the impossible!
Merged review:
No Broken Bond (Secrets of Stone #7) by the enchanting duo of Angel Payne and Victoria Blue is THE rockstar addition to the series. If I could give it 50 stars, I would. I actually read this weeks ago, thanks to the Early Read from Totally Bound, and I read it in a couple hours. However, I had the hardest time reading anything else for the next several days because I was full of just so much! It takes a lot to knock me on my ass. They did it with a book.
I sent this message to Victoria Blue the morning after I read it:
Note from 8am: I have such a book hangover that I haven’t even read anything (outside of work stuff) this morning except this, which I wrote about five hours ago. Prior to this, I never started my day without reading at least a chapter of whatever book I’m on.
Okay I need to get this out then I will be more coherent. HOLY F&@KING SH!%! My head hurts, my heart hurts, the rest of my body hurts (chain reaction. LOL). I think I need to buy myself a cozy recliner and rework my room because sitting in my desk chair and leaning on my bed for hours was sooooo bad for my joints. Now I can move on. LMAO!
My overall response first: Yes, I was warned. I’m not mad, I’m not blaming them for the fact that I was a mess for the days that followed. Angel and Victoria sucked me in so quickly that I’m still reeling, weeks later. From the moment I opened it up and started reading, I didn’t answer texts or even answer calls. I didn’t talk to anyone. And for the first time in my life, I didn’t have the TV or any music on to satisfy that part of my brain that has to be active with other things while I read. I’m not just saying that because they are my favorite duo. I don’t believe in saying stuff like this just to make them feel good unless they DON’T matter to me. And they do so they get my brutal honesty. I really hope that made sense. LOL. I’m a mess. I don’t think I’ve cried like that or that often in a very long time. I’m really not emotional. Expressive, but not emotional.
I fell completely in love with Tolly, Fletch, and Drake in No Simple Sacrifice. They even took over the spot of my favorite trio from Angel’s Lani, Kell, and Tait. Lani’s an islander, and even for a fictional character, the loyalty is strong. LOL!
The heat level in this one is insane. I don’t know if I can sufficiently describe how much different these were compared to everything else I’ve ever read. There’s just more, beyond the ménage aspect. Not just heat. Not just the power exchange. It’s just more.

Whew, hot ménage right here, folks! But more than hot, it's got emotional depth and lots of love, lots of pain, doubt, and almost every other feeling on the emotional spectrum.
First off, I have to qualify my review and say that I didn't realize that this is part of a series when I requested it, so I came into it blind, not having read any of the previous books. But, I was still able to get into it fully and figure out what was going on quickly. Talia, Drake and Fletcher are in a triad relationship, apparently having fought through disapproval from outside friends/family in previous books. So now they're settled, in love, so in love, and happily still together. Then, bam, something really bad happens and everything starts to fall apart, really fall apart so much so that it feels as if the three are not destined to be together any longer. Thank God for the fortitude they display though, and the strength of their love, and the strength the three of them display, not just together, but individually, or they definitely would not have made it through to the other side.
I love a good ménage story and No Broken Bond is one of the better ones that I've read, even though it's not a standalone. It's got the emotional and physical balance that a triad relationship should have, and then some. Sometimes, OK, a lot of the time, in ménages, the physical is emphasized over the emotional, and it comes across as disconnected and joyless, so when I read a threesome where the balance is perfect, then I'm in heaven like I was reading this. That's not to dispute the heat here, though, because, damn, No Broken Bond HOT!!! Like, 100⁰+ hot. There's nothing quite as erotic as three people sexing each other up, especially when they're in love like Talia, Drake and Fletcher are. So don't go into this thinking it's all emotions and drama and no heat, because that simply is not the case.
If you like your threesomes with the perfect balance of heat and emotional substance, No Broken Bond should definitely be on your TBR list. I will probably go back to read the first books, just to see if they give me added perception of these three amazing people. I'm also looking forward to more from these two authors, because they have a serious fan in me now!

If I tell you that I basically finished this book in one day, I won’t be playing with you. Is so emotional, hot and completely deep. You feel the love that the authors put inside this book with their words.
The last book in Secrets of Stone series about Drake, Talia and Fletcher connect all the characters of the series in one unique moment. What a desire to punch Drake and Fletcher faces almost the whole book. (I’m kidding).
But, no jokes now, the truth is, the book shows the value of love in hard times, one consequence create others and there it goes, and the best you can do with all of this is learn and show that you can make a difference in a relationship and to save a feeling of who is near to you all the time. <3
And other fact that make it clear being the last book, that it doesn’t show what happens in the others, but is necessary to read the first, is an advice for you, dear reader, you will feel more comfortable. (click here to read the review for No Prince Charming).
Angel and Victoria one more time have transformed an hot romance into a poetry. Is a funny reading and at the same time so addictive. You turn the page and want to know what is going to happen, and when you realize, you finished it.
Natalia is a beautiful girl who gets involved with two awesome dudes! Fletcher, in this case, suffers with the prejudice from his family for being in a relationship with two. Or, three.
The development of story is extremely important for their future, I miss an explanation at the end of the book about what Fletcher’s family think about him. Still rejecting his relationship or started to support him? But this doesn’t matter at reading, cause the way that this family is, you forget their existence. (LOL)
Don’t forget listen to Bruno Mars while you’re reading, if you like to do this.
References will appear while you’re reading. Star Wars, Doctor Strange, F.R.I.E.N.D.S., Sherlock Holmes…
This book reach your beautiful 4.8 stars!

“With my entire heart and soul…”
Can my heart hurt anymore for the triad of Drake, Fletcher and Talia in No Broken Bond by Angel Payne and Victoria Blue?! This is the heart pounding and breathtaking conclusion to the triad’s love story and I wish it didn’t end. I want more from these three! (*Note: this book needs to be read in order, do not start this book if you have not read the previous.)
Drake, Fletcher and Talia are together and everything is rainbows and unicorns out on Drake’s parents Ranch until they return to their lives in the city. Seems like once they touch down they are fighting unwanted opinions into their home and their bond is being tested left and right. In No Simple Sacrifice (book #6), Talia gives her parents the ultimatum to accept her for who she is but it looks like in this book Fletcher takes the spotlight on his demons.
Fletcher is the black sheep of his family, he wants to be acknowledged and accepted but his family is too society-ridden to allow his “ways”. An event has him spiraling out of control and winding up causing havoc on his relationship with Drake and Talia. Has he gone too far? How will he get his life back on track? Can they all three survive this, or is this the end?
The moment of destruction in this book is the moment I lost sleep. I could not put this book down for a second and neither will you, when you read it! My heart broke, simply broke for Fletcher and the agony he lives with. With the emotions of his family and how he is treated, to the grief of the destruction he caused; not to say the emotions I felt for Drake and Talia as well. You will be pulled in so many directions, so be ready! I highly recommend this book and the writings of both Angel Payne and Victoria Blue. Both authors are excellent in their talent and I can’t wait to see what else they come up with.
6 Stars!

Bonds that can't be broken
Talia, Drake and Fletcher began their love story in No Lucky Number, where Talia battled with herself over loving two men at the same time. The story continues in No Simple Sacrifice, where Drake thinks that, Fletcher and Talia would be better off, just the two of them, at the strong influence of Talia's father. Talia thought different and made the decision that her family either accept Drake and Fletcher or loose her. Now in No Broken Bond, the three are still finding themselves in the middle of conflict, this time with Fletcher's family, and the fact that their unconventional relationship would look bad in the society the Ford's associated with. There has been so much drama that it causes Fletcher to take his frustration out on Talia that night. Not Good! The next morning, he left without so much as a goodbye or an I'm sorry. Talia and Fletcher had always had a close mental connection, but later that morning, she didn't feel his presence in her soul. Something was wrong, something happened. There's an accident, that leaves Fletcher in critical condition, and Drake and Talia in near hysterics. When, Fletcher recovers and is released, he goes home and then becomes depressed because his progression with getting his life back was not going as planned. This all leaves Fletcher, Drake and Talia all up in the air as to how their relationship would survive. Will Fletcher pull himself out of his funk before he looses, Talia and forever alters his relationship with his best friend, Drake?
Angel Payne and Victoria Blue once again blew me away. My emotions was on a rollercoaster with this book. I definitely had to have the tissues. I date this 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 more if I could. It was phenomenal and I can't wait to continue the story of Secrets of Stone Series in No White Knight.

My official description of No Broken Bonds is a woman named, Talia, fell in love with two men, Fletcher Ford, and Drake Newland. Relationships are a ton of work with just one man in my opinion, but add in an extra? Well that should let everyone know that the drama is even more potent, as these three try to navigate through a complicated situation. To me that's hard enough, but then add the outside (friends, family, etc) world to the mix who isn't shy in judging things that aren't "normal" in their minds, makes an added complication, while trying to come up balance on their own. See? I sound like it's friends that I'm talking about, but that is how great these two authors are with this amazingly addictive story. Of course, the drama is the biggie, but let's talk about that hotter than hell side note! HOLY HELL! I'm on some super powerful pain meds for an injury that is hell, but even in all of my numbness, found myself hot flashing to high heaven with those fiery flames of sexy time, so let me be clear, commando is best! And while I was all kinds of bound up in their world, every one of my emotions took their turns with their strong appearances. Because a few very loud f-bomb dropping worthy, (plus all kinds of other colorful metaphors), twists came out to play, I'm still jacked up seven ways from Sunday. Angel and Victoria are simply brilliant together, although diabolically evil as well, there's no arguing that they are a dynamic duo especially with the way they told wrote realistic life issues that many suffer from, so frankly in my opinion, they should NEVER stop writing together. Bottom line, I cannot HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND No Broken Bonds enough, so just read it!

No Broken Bonds by A. Payne and V. Blue
I received this book from the author for an honest opinion.
Talia, Fletcher and Drake…….these three are going to give me a heart attack! They have fought her for so long and hard to be together. They fought Talia’s family to be together and now it all maybe falling apart!!
These three people love hard and they support harder. When one of the trio stats to doubt the relationship they all begin to falter ad crumble. The love story of these three-stubborn people is amazing. It is truly one of my favorite ménages. They have worked so hard to make a family for themselves and the thought that they might not make it….my mind, body and soul just couldn’t handle it…LIKE AT ALL!!!
First they have to deal with Talia’s family in the last book and now Fletcher’s family is causing the drama. No people just stop!! I wanted to scream out at the characters because Angle and Victoria put us on one heck of a ride dealing with the doubts and relationship dilemma between these people.
Gah, angst, anxiety and love…lots of love *Snickers* but seriously this book Is a great read and a heartfelt one as well!!

I admit that I came into the middle of this series. I am a bad, bad girl. Why have I been keeping these books from myself? This book was a fast read while I was at the beach. I couldn’t put it down! I constantly wanted to know what was going to happen. It had a lot of emotion that at times overwhelmed in the best way possible. I loved both Fletcher and Drake. I also loved how Talia was not just the middle woman but a glue that held the men together. That’s the key for me with any ménage romance. It must be balanced, and it has to be believable. These three were very loving and respectful of one another. They lived as one and they wanted it to work. A relationship is hard enough between two people, let alone three.
Parent and family approval was also a huge part of this story. I think that it made perfect sense. Not everyone is going to accept this sort of relationship or understand it. Love is love. That is what I kept saying to myself as I read this story. It’s what I wanted to keep saying to everyone who doubted what Drake, Fletcher, and Talia felt for one another.
I can’t say enough good things about this book. The sex was hot of course but it was the relationship that was hotter.

This book was AMAZING and I could not put it down.. You will read this in one sitting. Angel and Victoria have such a flawless way of writing and make such a great team.
These three have a bond that anyone would die to have. The dynamic of love, respect and the way they just flow is stunning and amazing.
While I love both Drake and Fletcher.. I have to say that Fletcher is probably my favorite.. He has a sarcasm that just cannot be beat. He will make you feel EVERY emotion in this book. Can love conquer all even in your darkest moments? One minute you love him and the next you love to hate him. Talia is also a force to be reckoned with.. Can the three of them find a happy balance once and for all?
If you love hot and steamy books what are filled with drama and emotion then this book is for you. This is such a great Series.
I do recommend reading the books in order to get the most out of the Series.

Love should be the only thing that keeps or breaks a unity, right? But for Talia, Fletcher and Drake their love is constantly tested and put under a microscope. Together the are a force to be reckoned but if one doubts then they fold. This amazing story is about that inner battle. Fletcher is fighting for himself and for the ones he loves but his inner demons begin to win and threaten what they have.
I love their story, their passion, their connection and determination for one another. They fight against the odds of Fletcher's family and what other's might say about them. Ultimately they fight to stay bonded for ever.
Angel and Victoria have given us yet a different but none the less beautiful fairy tale that will rival any of my childhood. A princess with two prince's to worship at her feet... I mean who could ask for anything more!

**I received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**
This is the first book I've read in this series and from this author, and I enjoyed it a lot. It can be read as a standalone. However, the story involves three main characters who are Fletcher, Drake and Natalia. The conversations they have in this book lets you know that there were some key moments in their lives between them that had to have happen in previous books. It's nothing that stops you from enjoying this book or has you confused. You just feel as if you missed witnessing that moment but it truly isn't missed; if you get what I'm saying. I loved the relationship, support and love the characters had with and for each other. The story flowed perfectly and the ending was sweet. I look forward to reading more books from this author.

I definitely feel like I have missed something all this time! In fact, I need to go back and read the other books in this amazing series. From the first page I was captivated and couldn't put the book down. The characters come to life and I quickly learned about the other books in the series since I obviously missed the train somewhere. Talia, Fletcher and Drake have folding the one who completes them in every way. Do others look down on them and are confused on their relationship can possibly exist. Of course! But they make it work and stick together through what success or tragedies they are dealt with. I smiled and I cried. Absolutely brilliant!

The saga continues for Drake, Fletcher and Talia. Now that they have admitted their love and have committed to their relationship the triad’s bond is threatened when disaster strikes and Fletcher is left broken and battered from a motor vehicle accident. His road to recovery is filled with anger, depression and self doubt. Will his health put a strain on the relationship and cause a rift between the three? Or will love conquer all and heal everyone involved? I absolutely love these characters and through my laughter and tears this storyline will be one that will stay with me. Once again Angel Payne does not disappoint.

This is part of a series and checks in with characters from previous books throughout - & that will bring you joy!! I find myself becoming so invested in these characters. And their stories, though fictional, bring joy to my life!! I love these books and the authors who’ve written them!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was forewarned to have tissues on hand with this one and I'm glad I listened. Drake, Talia and Fletcher are tested beyond their wildest imaginations and it takes everything they have to come back from what happens.
It all starts with Fletcher spending time with his family and realizing that they will never accept his relationship with Drake and Talia and things spiral from there.
This is a book about love being tested to the limits.

Complete
This is the finishing point of Drake,Fletcher and Talia. I've cried and yelled at this book. It sucks you in an you feel everything. The love of these three people are phenomenal. Difference between them all,the love they share. The ability to stand up for another, the confidence in themselves. It's all relatable.

Better
This book was better than the last 2. It had a story. I see from the excerpt from the next book that we are finally moving on from this trio. Good. I’m cool with romance, but nothing but sex is getting old fast. I was planning on stopping this series if it didn’t move on. I will give book 8 a chance for that reason only.

Unbelievable!!!
I just loved this book so much, so many emotions, made me cry, laugh I felt bad for them so many times, I wanted to skip ahead to make sure it was all going to be good.
This book was not only sexy of course but it was inspiring, life can throw very hard punches, but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Navigating their unconventional relationship is hard enough but add in a heartbreaking obstacle leaves Talia, Drake and Fletcher in disarray. This story broke my heart but slow pieced it back together again. I felt every emotion, every tear, and of course the love and devotion between all of them. This was a fantastic story. I adored every single moment of it.

this was a great follow up to a complicated and entertaining relationship. i wasnt sure who would be hurt between the 3 of them, but i knew something would happen. the fact that Fletcher's parents weren't on board and tried to derail everything wasn't a surprise. as usual the narration was excellent.
