ARC Review: Frayed Bonds by Leia King

Publication Date: August 2, 2024

Frayed Bonds was such a fun, spicy read set in gorgeous Italy and with a tandem of hot Italian brothers. While Valerie arrives in Tevici scared and running away from her past, she never loses the fighting spirit and it remains throughout this story. Ambrose is the classic fuckboy turned monogamous after finding the girl of his dreams was always right in front of him. It’s a best friend’s older brother romance at its finest. 

One of my favorite parts of this book was the subtle tension woven from the very first page. It kept me on my toes and I had to know what was coming next. It’s easy to see why Valerie is drawn to Ambrose and to the Vitale brothers as whole. They are dominating and intimidating but also kind and protective. I will absolutely be tuning into the next book in the Billionaire Bloodlines series! 

I really enjoyed getting to read Frayed Bonds and am absolutely recommending it. If you like hot billionaire Italian men, you cannot go wrong here!! I’m excited to see where the series goes and to read the stories of the remaining brothers as they continue to grow and find their own love stories in the midst of a chaotic world. 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
