The Bonds Of Love [Paperback]

J. M. Snyder (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 12, 2008

Vic Braunson has a special kind of problem--his lover, Matt DiLorenzo, somehow imbues him with enhanced superpowers every time they have sex. It's something Vic has learned to live with in the years they've been together, and something he won't let stand in the way of their relationship. Matt hates the powers, however, particularly when they put Vic in danger, but what can they do? When Vic stops an armed robbery at a local convenience store, his picture appears in the morning paper. Later that day, Matt receives a phone call at work from Jordan Dubrowski, a guy he knew in high school. Jordan was his first, in every way--it was through him that Matt discovered his ability to transfer superpowers to his lovers. Jordan had a taste of those powers, and after reading about Vic's role in the hold up, he's decided he wants those powers back. But Matt is in love...and Vic won't let him go without a fight. Still, Jordan will stop at nothing to get what he thinks rightly belongs to him...

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...After having read both of the previous books in this series, Matt and Vic quickly became two of my favorite literary characters. Having enjoyed the first two books so much I was really looking forward to reading this third and longer installment to their story...J. M. Snyder has again done a terrific job in writing the way these lovers interact with each other as well as with other characters...I am looking forward to further installments of this series and I do recommend The Bonds of Love and the entire series to any fan of superheroes and to fans of M/M love stories."--Woodland Nymph, Literary Nymphs Reviews

"5 Angels!...Recommended Read!...Ms. Snyder has created a phenomenal plot that...held me spellbound from the very start. The love between Matt and Vic is shown in how they love being able to read each others mind, sharing their every thought...Together they need to hold on to each other and their love to keep them safe outside world. Thanks go to Ms. Snyder for an incredible story."--Teresa, Fallen Angel Reviews

"5 Stars!...For action/adventure readers, there is plenty of intrigue and action to get their hearts pumping. They can live vicariously through the superhero adventure. This action adventure superhero novel takes the superhero novel to the next level. It doesn't close the door on the relationship behind the hero...The erotica reader will enjoy the sex scenes between Matt and Vic, but they will get more than their crotch throbbing. They'll be on the edge of their seats wanting more...Snyder writes strong characters, plots and moves from the bedroom to the streets with ease. I believe all readers who enjoy erotica, action, and more will enjoy this gay novel. I highly recommend it..."--Fred Towers, Rainbow Reviews --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bonds of Love by J.M. Snyder, February 18, 2008

This review is from: The Bonds Of Love (Paperback)

Another enstallment in the Matty and Vic's saga, this time, lucky for us, pretty long to let us savour more of this perfect couple.

Matt is an handsome swim instructor who since three year lives with his lover, Vic, a bus driver. They are very different in looks, Matt the classical lean guy, fresh and clear, and Vic all tattoo, piercing and muscle. But they are perfect together since Vic is a total submissive man, despite his looks, and Matt is more than happy to play the role of dom and caretaker for his big guy. There is only a little problem: when they make love, Matt gives to Vic superpowers, and they don't know what to expect the "morning after".

After three years they seem to have settle down and control the superpowers, but everything seem to conjure to make Vic a very jelaous man. First his co-worker, and former boyfriend of Matt, Kyle, wants at every cost to go out together in a double date with their boyfriends, and then they discover that the new boyfriend of Kyle is Jordan, the first lover of Matt, and the first guy to gain superpowers after having sex with Matt. And now that he has found Matt again, he seems to don't accept a no.

With this novel finally I have the chance to read a bit more of Vic and Matt. Above all of Vic, who is a really interesting character. He continues to describe himself like a big guy with very little to draw a man like Matt, but more I read of him, and more I like him. He is so tender and so unable to displease Matt. He would do anything for his man, and cuddle him and spoil him are his first priorities. Matt instead, at first seem more serious and clever, but he is also a nice guy, always ready to laugh and play. What I like most in this couple is their interaction, in and out the bed, which is, despite the paranormal setting, genuine and real, playful and hot.

Both Matt and Vic have waited a lot for Mr Right and now they are happy together, really persuaded to have found their soul mate, even if it's not a perfect model type of man, or an handsome and rich business man. The perfect man is not a symbol, but it's someone you hold tight by night and then play with during breakfast, passing over the fact he is grumpy and growling, and maybe with an old robe and too sleepy to hear what you are saying to him. But he is also the man who thinks you are all his life.
