ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 22, 2022

Aurelia

I’m a little bird, trapped in a gilded cage. My mother keeps me like a doll, pretty and silent, ensuring I will become a good wife and further my family’s legacy. The Fraser name needs to live on, no matter what. My freedom of choice, my ability to marry for love, are stripped from me.

Until him.

Ryan Malone is my brother’s bodyguard and the man who I’m falling in love with. If we’re found out my brothers will kill him, but when my mother tries to force me down the aisle, I’m sent into hiding with Ryan. It will test both of our resolves to keep away from each other.

Ryan

I shouldn’t look twice at Aurelia Fraser. She’s a mob princess and she’s completely out of my league. Touching her is a one-way ticket to dead, but when I’m charged with her protection I can’t keep my hands off her. Beneath the front she puts on I find a damaged, scared woman who I want to protect–even if it’s from her own parents.

Elena

My life was planned from the moment I was born. I am to marry for my family, to cement old alliances and create new ones. I know I have no say in who will be standing at the end of the aisle, but I didn’t expect my father to sell me to a monster. Kane Fraser is known for his cruelty and his coldness. In a few weeks’ time he will become my husband and will have complete control over my life.

Kane

The last thing I want is a wife, but my family needs me to do my duty and I will do anything to protect my siblings. Elena is nothing like I envisaged. She’s brash, loud and able to take care of herself. From the moment I put that ring on her finger, I knew this would be a match made in hell, but this is a situation neither of us can escape.

Until death do us part is just a saying, but when someone targets my wife I have to put our differences aside and protect her life. She is a Fraser and no one touches what’s mine.

REVIEW:THE TIES THAT BIND is the second instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult FRASER CRIME SYNDICATE dark, erotic, criminal underworld series, a spin off from the author’s UNTAMED SONS MC series. This is twenty seven year old, heir to the Fraser Syndicate Kane Fraser, and Elena Adam’s story line. THE TIES THAT BIND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storyline is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, torture, abuse and strong language, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kane and Elena) THE TIES THAT BIND follows the arranged marriage between twenty-seven year old heir to the Fraser Syndicate Kane Fraser, and Elena Adams, daughter of Hamish Adams, head of the Adams Syndicate. Kane’s mother Charlotte, and Elena’s father Hamish have arranged for the marriage of their children Kane and Elena, in an effort to form a stronger and more powerful crime family but neither Kane nor Elena is happy about their new paths going forward but both have accepted their fate in life. All is not well from the outset as Elena and Kane find themselves targeted and attacked on more then one occasion but the principle target is our story line heroine. As Elena and Kane quickly settle into married life, secrets revealed find Elena on the defensive when Kane is no longer able to trust the woman with whom he is falling in love. An emergency will pull Elena away from the safety of the house, an emergency that finds Elena facing her own mortality in an effort to save someone she loves. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Elena and Kane, and the potential fall-out as the lifestyle of the crime syndicate threatens any peace for our story line couple.

The relationship between Kane and Elena begins as an arranged marriage in which both Kane and Elena knew it was only a matter of time before they were forced to marry someone they did not love. Elena struggled to trust a man whose reputation as a killer preceded his introduction to our story line heroine, and Kane battled between head and heart knowing the marriage was a ruse to usurp the power from the head of the Adams Syndicate. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are re-introduced to Kane’s brothers: Lucas and his wife Sariah (Fracture Vows 1), and Zeke (Bailey/Untamed Sons MC 7), as well as their sister Aurelia; their parents Anthony and Charlotte Fraser; Kane’s bodyguard Nathan Ford; Elena’s sister Letta and her husband Michael Maloney, their brother Dex, and father Hamish Adams, and step-mother Margaret.

THE TIES THAT BIND is a story of power and control; dysfunctional family values and manipulation; betrayal, abuse, torture and love. The fast paced premise is dark and gritty; the characters are strong willed, dynamic and determined; the romance is captivating, passionate and provocative.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 20, 2022

Sariah

4 weeks, 28 days, 672 hours—that’s all I have left until my fate is sealed.

I am promised to a monster. A man twice my age. He plans to keep me like a pretty doll, making me move to whatever whims he has.

Trapped, all my choices are taken away apart from one.

A handsome stranger. He tells me his name is Lucas and for one night I’m able to leave my cursed future behind. The pull to Lucas is unexplainable and undeniable. One thing is certain—I have to find a way out of this arranged marriage. I have to claim my life back. And Lucas might be the key.

Lucas

Sariah has secrets. I can see it in her eyes. There’s a sadness that swirls within them, a fear of what we’re doing. I want to know who put that look on her face and protect her from it. I will burn the world to ashes to keep her safe.

But when the truth is revealed, and I learn she is being forced to wed a man who has a reputation darker than my own, I realize how much danger Sariah is in. I’m not sure the might of the Fraser crime family will be enough to save her life.

Or mine.

REVIEW:FRACTURED VOWS is the first instalment in Jessica Ames’ contemporary, adult FRASER CRIME SYNDICATE dark, erotic, criminal underworld series, a spin off from the author’s UNTAMED SONS MC series. This is twenty-two year old Lucas Fraser, and eighteen year old Sariah ‘Alice’ Easton’s story line.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, torture and strong language, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sariah and Lucas) FRACTURED VOWS follows the forbidden romance and relationship between twenty-two year old Lucas Fraser, and eighteen year old Sariah ‘Alice’ Easton. Sariah Easton’s father Declan has sold his daughter to the highest bidder in a effort to merge two of the most powerful families but the intended groom is almost three times her age and is determined to take total control of Sariah body and soul. Hoping to experience a little bit of life and love before heading down the aisle, Sariah, calling herself Alice, spends a couple of nights with a man she meets at a local bar, a man who stirs something deep within our story line heroine but our couple are completely unaware of one another’s true identities, something that may have forewarned of trouble to come. Enter Lucas Fraser, heir to the Fraser Crime Syndicate, and the man with whom Sariah will fall in love. Forced by his mother to stop the arranged marriage of Declan’s daughter Sariah, and thusly the merger of two powerful families, Lucas quickly discovers that the woman he abducts is the woman who has starred in his fantasies and dreams. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lucas and Sariah, and the potential fall-out as Sariah’s abduction is about to start a war in the criminal underworld.

There is a fight for power between the various MCs, and the three main crime families of London (Frasers, Eastons, and Adams), and in this, the marriage of Sariah Easton to Jeremiah Adams is about to solidify her father’s place at the top but all is not well in Sariah’s relationship with Declan Easton, and our heroine is constantly aware that she is nothing more than a pawn in her father’s quest for control. Lucas Fraser is only twenty-two and never had plans to settle down but trying to avoid another family from taking control, Lucas is ‘forced’ to kidnap and marry the daughter of a rival, the woman with whom he will fall in love.

The relationship between Lucas and Sariah is one of immediate attraction but is predicated upon secrets and lies. Neither one is aware of the other’s true identity, and thusly their connections to the world in which they both belong.Never expecting to fall in love, Sariah wants one final tryst before her life spirals out of control. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word used liberally (21 times) throughout the story line premise. . I am not a prude, and I expect the word in both MC and Mafia type story lines but I felt it was overused in this particular story.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic, destructive and strong. We are introduced to Lucas’s brothers Kane, and Zeke (Bailey/Untamed Sons MC 7), as well as their sister Aurelia, and their parents Anthony and Charlotte Fraser; Sariah’s father Declan Easton; Jeremiah Adams, as well as several security and personal body guards.

FRACTURED VOWS is a story of dysfunctional family relationships, brotherhood and blood; a fight for power and control; betrayal, vengeance, acceptance and love. The premise is dark, edgy and dramatic; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are broken, desperate, and energetic.
