Forbidden Bonds by Lexi C. Foss
5.0

Forbidden Bonds is the second book in the Immortal Curse series. So if you haven't read book one, then turn back now. Although this book does feature a different couple, it picks up as a continuation of Blood Laws.

Tom has spent the majority of his life walking the path his father, Johnathan, has paved for him until he learns the awful truth behind his father's motives. His discovery of the harmful abuse that one particular prisoner undergoes sets Tom on a different path, and leads to a dangerous and almost impossible feat. Getting Amelia out from under his father's ire is only the beginning of a complicated task.

I flew through this book in a day, and that is all due to the ease of Lexi's writing skills. There is so much imagination and thought put into this magnificent world and I cannot get enough. Tom completely redeemed himself by protecting and surrendering his love for Amelia. This book changed my overall perspective of him after reading Blood Laws and made me admire Amelia's independence and selflessness. Their journey is rough and short which makes this story an enthralling and entertaining adventure.

The audiobook for Forbidden Bonds is a duet narration performed by Anais Inara Chase and Tor Thom. There is no doubt that these two made my listening experience enjoyable, and what I liked the most about their talent is the ability to make each character unique and distinct. They fit each of their characters perfectly and I only hope to come across more of their work. If you prefer this format, I highly suggest listening along to this action-packed story.
