A Bond Of Truth (Sensual Bonds #2)
Author: K.C. WellsBlurb:
It is twenty years since the Bond of Three returned to Teruna. The kingdom of Kandor, once Teruna’s enemy, seeks help and sends its finest warrior, Dainon, on a diplomatic mission. A solitary man since his wife and child died, Dainon is unable to explain why an encounter with a young man on a beach rocks his world to its core.
Prince Arrio of Teruna has always been attracted to men but has never acted on it—until he meets Dainon. Headstrong Arrio goes after what he wants, despite his fathers’ advice. But when Prince Kei arrives unexpectedly, Arrio finds himself drawn to both men. Is history repeating itself?
Prince Kei has his first taste of freedom, and is shocked when the visions that have plagued him since childhood become reality. The three men embark on a voyage of discovery. No one has foreseen the day, however, when the arrival of a stranger threatens to destroy their bond.

REVIEW:
I was happy when I saw this book show up to be reviewed, and I quickly grabbed it. I really enjoyed A Bond of Three when it came out nearly two years ago, and I knew I would probably enjoy this one. I was correct. I liked it a lot.
A Bond of Truth brings us to the next generation in Teruna. Somewhere near the end of A Bond of Three (if I remember correctly), the M/C triad in that story found a dying woman with a baby in some ancient ruins.
That baby is now all grown up and has become Prince Arrio of Teruna. The King of Teruna and his two consort Princes are Arrio’s adopted fathers. When Arrio meets a big bearded warrior… who says he is a farmer…on the beach, things are off to a good start. He takes him back to Teruna with him, where the truth comes out. Dainon is indeed not a farmer.
Dainon has been sent by the King of Kandor to seek aid from the King of Teruna, their former enemy. The land of Kandor suffered a disastrous plague sixteen years previously which wiped out a huge number of its residents, and left another huge amount sterile. It is hoped that Dainon’s mission will be successful and that they might gain aid and help rebuilding their population.
Fortuitously, the King of Teruna just happens to be one of Arrio’s Fathers. Things look good for Dainon’s diplomatic mission. But why does it feel like lightning hits him when he touches Arrio? And then when Prince Kei of Vancor shows up and Dainon feels the lighting from him as well, things get complicated. And did I mention, Dainon has never been attracted to a man? Well…except for that one time…but he didn’t act on that, so it doesn’t count, correct?
There is confusion, there is a long-lost father who shows up looking for his son, and there are some miscommunications. All together, they make for an enjoyable fast paced read.
I really liked this one. Great follow-up to the original story.

Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings—writing about men in love was even hotter….
K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career. The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.
And as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories just waiting to be written is getting longer… and longer….
K.C. loves to hear from readers.
