London Bound by Amy Daws

4.0

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
