Shifting Ties Shifting Ties by Abrianna Denae
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

📖Book Info:
Captives.

Kidnapped Mafia Bosses Allesandro Martelli and Cristian Amato are listless. Days spent in chains, while taunted about the discord in their territories, leaves the Bosses with an ever growing sense of doom regarding their Families.

Lovers.

What should have been a fun way to relieve stress turns into real feelings, leaving unexpected pairings reeling from the depth of their connections. The shifting dynamics force the Amatos and Martellis involved to reevaluate where they belong, as the newly formed relationships cause strife and uncertainty in a dangerous time.

Adversaries.

As their enemy gets bolder, both Families must set their hurt feelings and bruised hearts aside, or run the risk of becoming a casualty to the war waged against them... If only matters of the heart were as easy to wade through as the bodies they leave in their wake.

Shifting Ties is book 2 in the Crimson Bonds series and contains a continuous storyline. All books in this series must be read in order. This is a dark MM and MMM+ story with various pairings and relationships. Please see inside for the full list of TWs.

This is an Amato Family (All's Fair Series by Abrianna Denae) and Martelli Family (Vendetta series by Leigh Kenzie) crossover. This is not a standalone story. At least one of the series, Vendetta or All’s Fair, needs to be read first to truly understand the dynamics of this story.

💭Our Thoughts:
"They say there's no greater honor than to sacrifice your life for something you believe in"

I thought the guys were in over their heads in book one, but their worlds have quite literally imploded with the Shifting Ties
Despite the chaos surrounding them, both families were building trust between them. Forming bonds, both personal and professional, that would strengthen them against their unseen enemies
Until one act of sacrifice? An act of love? Cracked the tentative truce
Now there are fractures from within, and secrets that should never have breached their walls are out in the open
Can they shore up their foundation before the tides sweep them away?
Or will the enemy gain the upper hand?

"Because who else, aside from four vastly distinctive men, would willingly love a monster?"
OMG!
My heart broke for Lio and Benjamin. However, I was thankful for Hollis. Not only for his ability to step in and take control, to redirect our boys, but for his patience with Roman, who is just barely hanging on

This is not a standalone. You need to read the previous book to understand the complicated relationships between the cast. And they are complicated.
None of our men fall within the spectrum of society's norms
But that does not make any of them less than

This is a dark mafia poly MM romance that comes packed with triggers
So if 🩸Crimson Splatter. Torture. Vengeance. 🗡️ Knife play. Breathe Play. 🌪️Chaos. 💀The Grim Reaper. And the likes are not your cuppa
I suggest you skip this series
For the rest of you - I'll see you on the other side

Some of my favorite moments :)
"Burn them to the ground." "I want their entire world to implode like mine just did."
💣 You messed up going against the family 🔥
"There is no cure for something like that. There's survival and there's moving forward"
😭
"The Baby Mouse is mine, forever"
" They're not taking me from you. Ever"
❤️‍🩹
