This is the third in a series that I started back in May. While we have the same characters as those others, Becoming Us and A Broken Us, this time we center the story around one of the friends from those books, and this story can actually be read without reading the others. This time it is Leslie, and we did get a glimpse at her first meeting with Theo in the first two books. But in this book we see her background and why she went to London, as well as what her problems with guys are, as well as what problems this Theo has. I'm not sure I'm a fan of how this story went really. It was kind of weird and abrupt in certain areas. But, I'll probably continue with the series, as I do like the characters.

Drama was built up and it wasn’t at all I expected. Leslie was the reason why I read the first two books in the series. Her character was always written as the fun, crazy, and loyal friend anyone would want. I thought the beginning of Leslie and Theo’s relationship was hilarious. I loved how he knew from the first moment that she was “IT” for him. He seemed like a loving a brooding hot man. The drama as to why Leslie didn’t want a relationship, I thought that something horrible happened to her in the past that she was trying to get over. When the real reason as to why Leslie does not want a relationship came out, I was like, that’s it? That’s the reason?
I think the best part of this story was the flashbacks to Leslie arriving in England and the start of her friendship with Frank. I really hope that Frank gets a book eventually.
There are some dark themes in this story, but I do love how Theo was written. I want a Theo.

A few months later Leslie is doing a seven-day cleanse planned by her friend Frank and the end result is to have a one-night stand. When Theo finds out however he is less than pleased and shows up at different times to prove to Leslie that the two of them should be in a relationship. At the end of the cleanse Leslie finally admits she wants Theo and the two of them try being together, but both are keeping secrets about their past. Theo's haunted by memories of his sister who passed three years ago. Leslie is haunted by her abusive father and their last encounter. The two of them finally share with each other about their past experiences and are doing better than ever when Leslie discovers she's pregnant.
I loved that Theo never gave up chasing Leslie and that when Leslie finally admitted to her feelings for Theo she fell fast. My heart broke for Theo's brother Hayden, and I still love that Finley and Frank were there for Leslie and supported her no matter what. Even Brody was very protective of Leslie. I was glad that Liam seemed to be okay after everything that happened with Finley and can't wait to read about him in the next book.

Was given an arc for my honest review
Reviewing for Fallen For Books
Where do I even begin? I have loved the London Lovers series. Each book brings such highs and lows. I am so in love with every single character.
But this book is simply awesome. With Amy's attention to detail you feel like Leslie is your own quirky best friend. You can't help but laugh out loud at her antics. But then also feel her heartache and pain.
And Frank. Oh I how love Frank. He can do no wrong. He's the perfect gay best friend that every girl needs.
Theo. Yummy sexy Theo. I wasn't too sure about him at first. But once you read his story you can't help but fall in love with him. Completely and totally fall in love with him.
Yet another amazing book in this incredible series. I am so glad that I found these books.
Seriously stop what you're doing now and read this entire series!!!

Amy Daws does it again. By the end I was crying. Another beautiful emotional story. I admittedly still love Fin and Brody's books just a little bit more then this one but I do adore Lez and Theo too

ARC received for an honest review.
I have fallen in love with the characters in the London Lovers series over the past year, so each time a new story comes out, I am excited to read it.
And London Bound was no exception
London Bound starts up right where A Broken Us finished, but you could read it without reading the previous books.
We met Leslie, Finley's best friend in the past books in the series, and now we get her story.
Lez has always been the one in the friendship that was a bit out there, didn't care what anyone thought. Her antics with her friend and roommate Frank were quite legendary.
They say you never know what hides behind those smiles. And Lez has been hiding things, even from her best friend, for a while. And they are affecting her to this day.
I LOVED her first encounter with the sexy Theo. I couldn't help but laugh, but could also completely feel her embarrassment.
But she is never going to see him again, right??
Oh my Theo! What is not to love about this man? When Lez and Theo's world collide again.. and again, sparks fly and things sure do start to heat up.
Throw in a sexy challenge from Lez's partner in crime and fellow ginger Frank, and you just know things are going to be fun, but are going to get messy.
We learn so much more about Leslie. Why did she leave America? Why has she sworn off men?
Theo also has a secret he is hiding from Lez - and we all know how well that always goes, don't we! At times I just wanted to slap some sense into him, wanted Lez to move on. But at the same time I wanted them to stick with it, as I knew things would be wonderful if they could get through them.
There were a lot of laughs in London Bound, but this book also hits on some deeper, darker issues. One of the characters goes through something that hit quite close to the bone for me as I have been in their position in the past. Ms Daws dealt with these issues with empathy, with caring. She did not sugar coat things. Thank you for this.
I loved that we got more of Finley and Brody, whose relationship is moving on in leaps and bounds from where they left off. Frank and his vintage porn obsession is hilarious.
And then there is Liam. He has kind of been in the background, pining over Finley. I sure do hope we get more of his story. Please!
I can't wait to see what Ms Daws brings us next

*4 Stars*
I've been enjoying this series and I was excited to finally get to read Leslie and Theo's story. Les is so full of life and so funny, yet getting to know her deeper side, and share in her insecurities is a huge change from what she shows on the outside.
Theo is bloody pushy, but he's loveable once you really to know him. And those family secrets. Both Les and Theo have their family secrets, and these are huge parts of who they are.
Seeing them work through things could be both frustrating and wonderful at times. The last probably 1/4 of the book really made it for me, and I loved the ending so much. It was perfect for these two, even after that shocker that I totally did not see coming.
Once again there are some series issues dealt with in this book, but in her usually way, Amy writes them well and with justice, in my opinion anyway, so that they are not too much one way or the other, in terms of overwhelming and despairing life issues that people deal with.
I'm looking forward to continuing this series, can't wait to see what else Amy has in store!
