A Bond of Three (Sensual Bonds #1)
Blurb
It is twenty years since the Bond of Three returned to Teruna. The kingdom of Kandor, once Teruna’s enemy, seeks help and sends its finest warrior, Dainon, on a diplomatic mission. A solitary man since his wife and child died, Dainon is unable to explain why an encounter with a young man on a beach rocks his world to its core.
Prince Arrio of Teruna has always been attracted to men but has never acted on it—until he meets Dainon. Headstrong Arrio goes after what he wants, despite his fathers’ advice. But when Prince Kei arrives unexpectedly, Arrio finds himself drawn to both men. Is history repeating itself?
Prince Kei has his first taste of freedom, and is shocked when the visions that have plagued him since childhood become reality. The three men embark on a voyage of discovery. No one has foreseen the day, however, when the arrival of a stranger threatens to destroy their bond.

My Review
This book was such a delight to read. It had the
perfect combination of sweet romance, hot scenes, relationship angst, and
suspense to keep me fully entranced and eager to keep on reading.
The three men in this story all managed to seduce
me as individuals as well as part of their triad. Prince Arrio was such a
charming combination of cocky certainty and virginal insecurity he made me
smile. Prince Kei on the other hand is mostly an innocent, having been raised
in almost complete seclusion. If it wasn’t for the visions he’s had for as long
as he can remember, he would have been completely unprepared for what he
encounters. As for Dainon, he was my favourite and totally stole my heart. I
loved the battles he fought with himself and his feelings. Having to overcome
the grief he’d been holding close for long years was difficult enough for this man;
coming to terms with the fact that he’s attracted to not one but two much
younger men is almost too much for our warrior. But he wouldn’t be the man I
came to adore if it hadn’t been for his courage in the face of circumstances he
could never have predicted for himself.
I think what I loved most about this story was the
equality between these three men despite their different backgrounds,
upbringing, and expectations. They each had their moments of doubt and insecurity
just as each of them had opportunities to shine or take the forefront. And it
is exactly because the power dynamic in their developing relationship wasn’t a
foregone conclusion or even something set in stone I fully believed in the bond
they were forming together. They complimented each other in the best possible
way to ultimately form a perfect union together.
It was a pure joy to get another glimpse at (now
King) Tanish and his husbands Feyar and Sorran and to see them still going
strong, still deeply in love and all three equally invested in the life and
happiness of their adopted son Arrio. However, while I would certainly
recommend you read A Bond of Three before reading A Bond of Truth, I don’t
think it is actually necessary. This second book can be read and fully enjoyed
as a stand-alone.
It won’t surprise anybody when I say that this
story contained quite a few extremely hot scenes. The fact that these three men
are all experiencing everything they do together for the first time only set
the temperature soaring even higher. But, none of it would be as memorable as
it is if it wasn’t for K.C. Well’s talent to perfectly combine heat with tender
sweetness. Many a happy sigh escaped my lips while reading this book.
Finally I have to say that while I fell head over
heels for the two triads in this series, I have fallen for the world they live
in just and hard. I can only hope the author will decide to visit Teruna again
in the not too distant future. Surely there’s another triad to establish?
