Boulder #3
Unbroken Bonds
From Eve L. Mitchell comes Book 3 in the Boulder Series, an 'opposites attract' heartwarming romance. Not your typical college romance with secrets, danger and finding love in unexpected places.
They say opposites attract, and that is certainly true for Hope Walker and myself. She is everything I am not, yet everything I am starting to crave. I am a self-confessed lady’s man, a player, and a flirt. She is quiet, plain and unassuming. Someone who I have overlooked time and time again. But when she helps my friends and I out of an awkward situation, I begin to wonder how I could have been so blind.
You see, my friends and I share a bond closer than brothers—even though that bond is currently being tested.
But things are never easy for myself or my friends, and when a dangerous enemy threatens the one woman I know I shouldn’t want but can’t seem to deny, I will do anything to keep her safe. Including competing in an underground fight club.
When the hidden truths are finally spoken, will the bond stay strong? Or is our bond about to break?
Unbroken Bonds is Book 3 in the Boulder Series. This book must be read after both Book one and two, it is a continuation of the story and is not a standalone book.

Unbroken Bonds by Eve L. Mitchell is the third book in the Boulder Series. This time round is Matt’s story, and personally he’s one character I’ve been captivated by from the very first book - Indian Summer.
The storyline is well written and captures both of the main characters perspectives throughout the book, as there’s not only Matt’s POV’s, but Hope’s as well. I was drawn in by Matt’s charm and Hope’s relatable character.
There’s moments of deep emotion with frustrations, love and sadness, that the characters experience and are captured to bring you into the story. Plus sexy times and those all important “aww” moments.
I love that characters from the previous two books in the series make a return, as this continues to delve deeper into how they all fit into each other’s stories. With the addition of some amazing new characters, Unbroken Bonds makes for a captivating read.
Once again I really enjoyed the world that Eve L. Mitchell has created with these books, and highly recommend Unbroken Bonds, as well as Indian Summer and Dark Heart. These are definitely one click books for me, and hope there’s more to come from the Boulder Series characters.

In Eve’s 3rd book, my wishes came true...More Matty! I fell in love with Matt in book 1, Indian Summer and have been wanting more ever since. We get a bit of all the Boulder Series crew in this book and get introduced to another new favorite of mine...Hope. I relate to Hope on so many levels. She is the exact opposite of Matt...not gorgeous - as far as society standards of beauty anyways, and not popular. But opposites attract, right? You’ll need to read to find out. Start with book 1, you won’t be disappointed.

I was very intrigued with Matt while reading Indian Summer and Dark Heart so the fact his book was next was great! This is a perfectly paced slow burn romance/love story that pulls you in with how great both Matt and Hope are and you really connect with them and boy is Hope the perfect woman not just for Matt but for the whole group. I love how this series isn't just about falling in love but also how when you have strong friendships those people will always be there for you. So sit down and get settled in for a great book that you will lose yourself in and not move until the end! 💖

Absolutely Amazing
Matt and Hopes story is fantastic. I laughed, and cried my way through their story. Not only did I love Matt and Hopes story, but also the bonds between all of the characters in the Boulders Series. I cant wait to see whats next for them all.

No MATTer what you're doing read this book!
Book 3 in the Boulder Series and it's Matt, yeyyy!
What a great, fun read. God he's so clueless sometimes, what a typical bloke! Matt and Hopes story is written with Eves' now trademark hilariously descriptive sarcasm and charm that will make you laugh out loud one minute; cringe as you imagine yourself in similar situations the next; and feel like doing the 'Rocky Balboa at the top of the steps' victory air punch accompanied by soundtrack of course! Matt has been a firm favourite of mine since Book 1 and I adore the character Eve has created for him in Hope, she reminds us normal gals that you don't have to be a supermodel to be noticed by the hot guy. She gives Hope to us all, literally. See what she did there. Clever.🥰

Unbroken Bonds is the 3rd book in the Boulder Series and must be read after books 1 and 2.
This book focuses on Matt, who we met in the previous 2 books, and a newcomer named Hope. I have loved Matt's character since the first book and was so excited for his story. While he was always portrayed as a manwhore, you were also shown his sweet/sensitive side in the previous books and got an even bigger dose of that in UB.
I also loved Hopes character, the quirky, shy, nerdy girl who doesn't quite realize how amazing she is. She can be easily flustered and Matt affects her in ways she has never felt before, but she also has a strong, fiesty side to her that comes out when dealing with the people she loves/cares about.
There were some very emotional parts, one where I actually cried with Hope. Other times I wanted to smack some sense into Matt. Overall I loved the dynamic of their relationship and how they started out as friends and had some serious hickups along the way. I also enjoyed how the story went deeper with the side characters (some of whom were the main characters in previous books) and the group's relationship.
A fourth book has not been announced yet but it seems clear from the storyline that there will be at least one additional book in this series and I am interested to see where it goes from here. Side note: I also hope someone finally smacks the shit out of Conner.
*Please also note that the author is British and while this book is based in the US, a lot of the words and phrasing used throughout the book are British.

Matt was my second favorite character in Indian Summer. So. I was very excited to read his story. It was nice to revisit some of the characters from the first two books and meet some new characters.
Matt is a fun, sweet and caring guy. He is loyal to his small group. Unhappy with decisions that Cole made he sets himself up for trouble.
Hope is quiet, shy and self conscious about her weight. She cannot believe that Matt would be interested in her.
Their story is captivating and makes it hard to put down. They have funny, scared and sexy times that are very entertaining. When Theo gets hurt they decide they need to come up with a way to finish the problem and deal with the issues at hand.
Loved Matt and Hope and cannot wait for the next book in the series. I’ll be impatiently waiting.

Unbroken Bonds is the first book that I have read by Eve L. Mitchell and it is a very sweet, easy read. Matt and Hope really suit each other and the story centers around their budding relationship with Matt trying to figure out who he is and the responsibilities he has and Hope being the strong, wonderful often clumsy character that she is. This was a sweet easy read with some wonderful characters that tug at your heartstrings and a story which is full to the brim with emotion. It might help to read previous books to get to know other characters who pop up in this one a bit more, but overall, a must read for all New Adult/Romance fans.

This was an incredible story. I was completely engrossed in it. I would probably read it till morning without stopping it was so good, but since I was very ill then I did fall asleep with my tablet in hands and finished it this afternoon. It was long but honestly I didn’t see pages turning. Plot was captivating. Hope is so caring. Matt is so clueless. Something that did start as total misunderstanding did finish as perfect connection. Yet of course there was troubles. Clouds are above them, they fight, they work on themselves and some are straining, but what is unique is the bond that join the boys and the bond that Hope did create. It was beautiful.T

Another fantastic story from Eve L. Mitchell!
I was a big fan of Indian Summer and Dark Heart... and while I will always have a spot in my heart for Aaron (the ultimate bad boy), I was always fascinated by Matt... and now he has his own story and his own love interest.
Hope is our heroine and she is, far and away, my favorite out of all the books so far. She’s smart, she’s funny, and she’s totally relatable.
Watching Matt and Hope’s story and romance was pure joy, and I’m so happy we got to experience it.
Now we just have to wait for the next story!!!

I am going to cut right to the chase and say that I loved this book. I adored Matt and wanted to make Hope my real life best friend. And their relationship? It was beyond top notch. I just absolutely loved the chemistry between them and the angst. What I loved most of all though was the relationship between the best friends and how we got even more depth and backstory to them than before.
November 30, 2019
This is the third instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s Boulder series, and I have been waiting for Matt’s story since I first read Indian Summer! Love these boys, their stories and how they interact. Totally attached to them all, and prepare yourself for some sizzling moments, nose snorts and grab those tissues. You might just need them. Highly recommend.
December 1, 2019
I loved this book the whole series has been amazing but this one had me slapping my forehead. Lol once you read it you will understand. I am hoping she give Theo his own story. Once you start this book you won't want to put it down.
November 30, 2019
Matt and Hope's story is amazing and I was completely engrossed from the beginning to end. It had me laughing and crying and yelling "Matt, what are you thinking!!" Another great story in this series!
November 30, 2019
Loved!
Another amazing book by an amazing author! I loved following Matt through this book and him and Hope are perfect for each other. Eve Mitchell's words make it so you feel what the characters are feeling and seem like you are part of the story. Cant wait for the next one.

Tortured boy meets girl. She hates him. But does she really? This must be the plot of a thousand books. Yet, something about this book. These characters, that screams different. Unique. They draw you in. Make you feel. Make you cry. Make you worry. Make you fall in love. I need a Matt. Or hell, even a Theo to make my life complete.
November 18, 2019
I love this series so much!!!! Each story is amazing and I love that the stories are all entwined and you get to see where the characters from the previous books ended up. I was really happy to get a story for Matt. Him in Theo were secretly my fave from book one. This story was a rollarcoaster of emotions and I was so engrossed in it I didn’t want to put it down! Eve L Mitchell has outdone her self! Now I need more! ❤️
November 19, 2019
Fantastic read! I love all of Eve's book, I love her writing.
Matt is struggling with his place in life, Struggling with decisions that were made for him, not with him.
Hope is a strong willed woman, who takes every embarrassing moment in her stride but it does make for a hilarious ride.
This is a fantastic read. I enjoyed every minute of this book!

5/5 ⭐️ Eve L. Mitchell
Unbroken Bonds (Boulder Series Book 3)
This is the first book I read by Eve L Mitchell , which is a dare since Unbroken Bonds is book 3 in the Boulder Series and should be read after both book one and two but I got my ARC copy and just couldn’t helped myself and started reading it . Let me just say that yes it would had made things a lot clearer if I had read the previous books but Mitchell manage to get the relevant details while you reading the book that you get the picture of earlier events and relationships.
.........................................................................
Matt Landers is a cocky ,popular ladies man and boy how he enjoys it , no strings attached thats his tune ...hey who can blame him when he is fine like that ?
He lives with his two best friends that are more like brothers than just best friends . And even though their bond is strong and solid things are not what they used to be ,secrets are surging between them and feelings that he tries to hide makes him feel guilty .
Then he meets her ... the sassy , weird girl with braids and glasses , the plain girl that doesn’t stand out as a matter of fact apparently she’s been in one of his classes for three semesters so yup she obviously not noticeable. So how come he can’t stop thinking about her ?
Hope on the other hand do know who Matt Landers is ... yeah he is hot .. sexy and all of that and she would very much like to be a notch on his bedpost . That would never happen though because guys like that don’t look at girls like her ....
So if you jam is
✅ contemporary romance .
✅strong friendships .
✅slow burn.
✅college romance .
✅cocky guy meets his match.
⭐️Then this book is definitely for you ⭐️
And yes I’m now reading the first book in the Boulder serie , Indian Summer.

Enthralled!!!
I’m truly hooked on the series I really loved loved loved this story. I connected with the characters more than the first one and I can see the author made some major grammar improvements. This has become one of my favorite stories. Chase & Hope’s love story is something that was raw and real and I loved every moment of it. I can’t wait to read more from this author, I’m hooked!

I loved this book so freaking much, it was so much more than what I was expecting. I love all this crew and seeing more of them and their dramas and struggles was everything. I loved Hope since the beggining, I think she was the perfect girl for Matt. And the whole lesbian thing, Jesus, I just wanted to knock Matt to get him to wake the hell up, he was so hopeless, it was too cute. They were a perfect pair and I absolutely loved them.
Can't wait to read more about this people

This is the third book in Eve's incredible series and this one is most definitely a rollercoaster ride!
This book follows Matt and Hope and I absolutely fell in love with these two.
Again, absolutely beautifully written and i actually cried a few times, that's how much Eve's portrayal of her own characters come to life within the page's this brilliant book.

Another amazing book from Eve! I don't know why I didn't get to reading it sooner but now I'm sad this book is over, it was so good! I loved getting to know Matt better and meeting Hope. I can't wait to read the next one! Also, definitely read this series in order, it'll make more sense and you won't regret it.
