Fear. Desire. Redemption.

When I was taken...it changed me.

Once, I was the life of the party. Not anymore.

I told myself that I was okay. I almost believed it, until the day I was forced to face my past and my nightmare came to life.

Now the Four are the only ones I can turn to, and Cassius Drummond has made it his personal mission to help me out.

No matter how much I tell myself that he’s off-limits, the more time we spend together, the more I want him.

Bound by my past, I know I’m no good for him, and I’m nothing more than a convenient distraction while we’re stuck with each other.

It’s going to end in heartbreak.

But every time he smiles at me, I find myself falling a little bit more.

The Bonds We Break is a stand-alone mature new-adult romance but is best enjoyed after the previous four books in the series.

The Bonds We Break is a sort of friends with benefits to more story involving Cass, one of The Four, and Jessa, who is known for issues she caused with Winter and drama she caused in previous books.

Things are different now as Jessa has been through a traumatic experience. She is different, though people aren't as quick to forget the past and her role in it. Cass is somewhat protective of Jessa though, which only becomes more clear throughout the course of the story. They start a friends with benefits relationship that seems like more even from the start. It is clear that Jessa and Cassius have some serious chemistry and both definitely like being together, but Cass is somewhat in the dark when it comes to his feelings, while Jessa definitely isn't. She knows she likes and wants Cass and that this arrangement will probably just end in heartbreak for her.

I enjoyed having this group of friends back together again, and was glad that over the course of the story relationships were mended. I loved how protective Cass was of Jessa and how much he genuinely seemed to care for her, though it seemed to take him quite awhile to realize his true feelings about her and what he ultimately wanted of their relationship.

The audiobook was really well done. Both Kelli Tager and Gregory Salinas did a truly fantastic job with the narration of this story. #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlock

I so loved coming back to the four. I enjoyed following up with characters I didn’t care for, and have them be focused on. The dialogue was performed really well by the narrators, and really made the story stand out. This author really uses her words to make an impact on the reader.

Oh Cassius, I loved him from the very first book! I love his goofy characteristics and his loyalty the most. Cassius Drummond has so many different layers and is such a diverse character. I knew his story was going to be good but I didn't expect to love it this much.

This book was very enjoyable to me, I loved the fact that Jessa owned up to her mistakes and became a better person and watching her growth was amazing. Dare I say I hated her during Caiden and Winter's story and did not like it when I realized she was the FMC but she thoroughly surprised me, thank goodness!

I enjoyed Jessa and Cass together, the connection and chemistry was clear. The drama and suspense they went through was nothing less than what I would expect from The Four and their lives. I also liked that we got to see Caiden and Winter, Weston and Lena as well and got to see where they are in life now.

Kelli Tager and Gregory Salinas did amazing! I loved it!!

Cassius is EVERYTHING!!

The four series is one of my go to rereads and this book just carried on my love for it! Cassius is the playboy of the group that always gives off golden retriever vibes. I love his humour and the way he's always teasing everyone.

If you've read the previous books, then you might not have liked Jessa, however I had always held out hope that she would get a redemption arc and I'm so glad she did! There was a lot more to Jessa that we didn't get to see until this book and I love her just as much as all the others in this series. Understanding Jessa's trauma gave us another side to her as we watched her overcome it and grow!

These two go so well together, with their flirty banter and understanding of each other! Seeing that they can be themselves around each other and show sides they don't show others just made me love them more!

I loved seeing the whole gang again and its got me even more excited for Zayde's book!

Our playboy finally got his girl!
