Description

Elias Bristol. Vincenzo Ricci. Gannon Hayes.

Three vampires with one goal in me.

I’ve dedicated the year since my father’s death to learning how to slay vampires. Specifically, the monster who could have saved him but didn’t. With one of their own training me, I might stand half a chance.

But each training class with Vinny brings us closer together, and things go from complicated to what the actual f*ck when my ex shows up after ghosting me after my father’s funeral and, sure enough, Gannon is now a vampire—with a newfound thirst for my blood.

And sure, two vamps are a lot to handle, but when the vampire king returns and I fail to kill him even after months of training, my love triangle becomes a freaky foursome—and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying myself thoroughly.

I absolutely loved this book. I believe that I seriously missed out on not finding this author before now. Jackie, Vincenzo, Gannon, and Elias made up the most perfect why choose pairing and I ate it up. I laughed and I cried and I wailed for more. I didn't want the story to end and now I'm depressed. Give me more of this! This is Book 1 and I can't wait for the next one. Sexy vampires in a why choose romance? Box checked!

Overall Rating: 5/5 
My review: 
This had me kicking my feet, screaming into my pillow, and questioning my morals. 
A butcher’s life long deal causes her to live in a world targeted by vampires. 
3 vampires and she’s got all 3 of them wrapped around her little human finger.

This book?? Unhinged. Spicy. Utterly feral. And I DEVOURED it. 😈🔥

I came for the vampires. I stayed for the spice. Jessalyn Jameson knew exactly what she was doing when she said “why choose?” and served up three dangerously hot vampires 🩸🍷

Meet the chaos:
🩸 Vinny – broody mentor with soft growls and big “I’m dangerous but secretly gentle” vibes.
🩸 Gannon – the ex who ghosted after a funeral and came back undead.
🩸 Elias – the vampire king. Arrogant. Possessive. Old-money deadly. Zero chill. Maximum heat. 👑🔥

💋 The spice? Let’s just say it escalates quickly. One second, you’re training with stakes, and the next… well, your Kindle’s on fire and your eyebrows are singed. It’s that level of feral steam. Do not read this in public unless you're prepared to blush violently.

This is vampire chaos erotica with a dash of vengeance, blood magic, and plot sprinkled between the unholy tension. And I’m completely here for it. 💅 Bring on Book Two. I am unwell.

A Bond Beyond Blood is a reverse harem, vampire romance that completely took me by surprise in the best way. While many RH books dive headfirst into the spice from the beginning, this one leans more toward a slow burn, especially when it comes to the dynamic between the FMC and the full harem. There are steamy moments early on with one of the men, but the buildup with the others is drawn out and incredibly satisfying. The tension and pacing felt intentional and I loved that the author took the time to develop each connection individually.

This story is packed with tropes I love, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, second chance romance, woven together in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming or forced. It gave the book a layered, emotional quality that I didn’t expect from a vampire romance. Speaking of vampires, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel going into a book that fully centered on them since I’ve only read books with vampires before, not about them. Turns out, vampire men might be my new favorite fictional obsession.

There is a bit of a cliffhanger at the end so be prepared to want the next book ASAP. I’m already anxiously waiting to see where the series goes from here. If you’re into reverse harem stories with actual plot, tension, character growth, and vampires that you’ll probably fall in love with, this one’s for you. Just trust the process and enjoy the slow burn. It’s worth it.
