"Something wrong, sweetheart?" he asked, feigning innocence.
Blue fire glared up at him. "I would like to shoot you now."
The threat was so unexpected and said with such venom, he couldn't help but laugh. "I'd love to see you try."
"I'll more than try." She sounded so confident. Too bad she didn't stand a chance.
"Hmm." He settled more heavily on her by stretching his legs alongside hers and going to his elbows on either side of her head. Danger instincts flared through his brain while heat licked through his veins. "And then what?"
Her glare cooled as her gaze dropped to his lips. "I would run." Some of her earlier confidence seemed to have disappeared. Smart woman.
He toyed with the loose strand of her hair lying beside his hand. "Probably a good idea considering you'd miss and I'd be chasing you. Can you do me a favor, though?"
She blinked up at him. "What?"
"Try not to run in circles. It takes the fun out of things."

Brilliant second instalment
Loved it, highly recommended
Fantastic pnr, loved it!
Lexi C Foss certainly knows how to build a world you want to live in and write characters who intrigue you and question all the things you think you know about them.
Then before you realise, they're under your skin, in your head and have captured your heart.
This happened for me with Tom and Amelia (and one or two of the supporting crew...Oh B where are you in my life!!). Tom hadn't been one of my favourites from Blood Laws, but I think maybe that was the plan all along, afterall with an Ichorian father, whose side was he really on?
Forbidden Bonds continues right after the events in Blood Laws (so should really be read first). As punishment, Tom is sent on a "baby sitting" mission to a place that haunts him, with an important asset he's been secretly trying to protect. Amelia, has suffered so much, but together, they need to learn to trust each other to survive.
I loved this book as much as the first, it has action, intrigue, tension, passion, heart ache and a story line that hooked me in from the start. The way their characters developed and their relationship grew was beautiful, but so hard at times when it's revealed what both have been through and the betrayals they've suffered. I'd also love to meet the Hydraians, the banter between them relieves the tension and Balthazar is certainly a scene stealer! Can't wait for more of the Immortal Curse series, I thoroughly recommend it.
Awesome second instalment!
You know those series that you start and you think 'the sequel ain't gonna live up to this one?' Well this one really did. After falling in love with Issac and Stas, I was pretty sure they were my go to couple. Not anymore. (Although Issac – still yum!)
I honestly was not expecting to like Tom all that much, in the first book he gave off an almost bratty quality, like he thought he was god gift and everyone should listen to him and his judgement. He had this jealousy about him which back then didn't make sense but now after reading Forbidden Bonds, all makes sense to me.
Throughout his life he's been putting on a persona, a cloak so that people don't see the real him. He's troubled, and any self respecting female goes weak in the knees for that kind of trouble.
Amelia had this unbeatable quality, she's one hell of a resilient character and one hell of a woman which you'll see why when you read the book. She's endearing and you can't help falling in love with her too.
The whole world that Lexi has created has me excited and you can't help but read and be immersed. The complexity of the characters, the way she builds the tension. She has it all and you can't help but want more. I truly cannot wait for the next one. I'll be waiting with bated breath until then.
