Torch (Unbreakable Bonds Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 1,853 ratings

Can two men rekindle the fire of one night years ago?

It’s been nine months since Rowan Ward’s life went to hell following his wife’s death.

Fighting to keep moving forward, he buries himself in work.

When fires spring up around Cincinnati threatening his friends and clients, Rowe struggles to protect everything he holds dear.

But the tide could turn in his favor with the appearance of his old Army buddy, Noah Keegan.

Caught in a dangerous game of fire and bullets, neither expects the inferno of emotion that ignites between them. One Rowe isn’t prepared to accept—one that could break Noah.

Noah thought devoting his life to the Army would be enough.

Then he realized he had no family and only one friend he cared about.

When his enlistment was up, he found himself standing on Rowe's doorstep, looking only for friendship but secretly hoping for more.

He needs to know if their one unbelievable night together years ago wasn't a mistake.

About the Author

Jocelynn Drake is the author of the New York Times bestselling Dark Days series and the Asylum Tales. When she's not working on a new novel or arguing with her characters, she can be found shouting at the TV while playing video games, lost in the warm embrace of a good book, or just concocting ways to torment her fellow D&D gamers. (She's an evil DM.) Jocelynn loves Bruce Wayne, Ezio Auditore, travel, tattoos, explosions, fast cars, and Anthony Bourdain (but only when he's feeling really cranky). For more information about Jocelynn's world, check out www.JocelynnDrake.com. Rinda Elliott is an author who loves unusual stories and credits growing up in a family of curious life-lovers who moved all over the country. Books and movies full of fantasy, science fiction, and romance kept them amused, especially in some of the stranger places. For years, she tried to separate her darker side with her humorous and romantic one. She published short fiction, but things really started happening when she gave in and mixed it up. When not lost in fiction, she loves making wine, collecting music, gaming, and spending time with her husband and two children. She is the author of the Beri O'Dell urban fantasy series, the YA Sister of Fate Trilogy, and the paranormal romance Brothers Bernaux Trilogy. She also writes erotic fiction as Dani Worth. She can be found at RindaElliott.com. She's represented by Miriam Kriss at the Irene Goodman Agency.

    Fine read. Spoiler alert.

    This one starts with Rowan Ward who's at the club Warehouse owned by Lucas Vallois a good friend. Ward is still battling his depression over the death of his wife Mel. She died in a car accident when Boris Jagger was trying to kill them. Her death landed Rowe in a world of depression. He runs a very good security business but left it in capable hands while he tried to recover his life.

    Lucas is a self made millionaire and an old Army buddy of Rowe's. Andrei Hadeon is his bodyguard employed by Ward Securities and is Lucas's lover. Dr Ashton Frost who everyone calls Snow, his lover Jude Torrez. Snow is also and old Army buddy or Rowe's and the three of them shared danger and good times. They are all trying to pull Rowe out of his crushing loss of Mel. Mel was beloved by all of them and is deeply missed.

    The Warehouse party is in full swing when Rowe smells smoke. He and Andrei move out to get everyone out of the building. The fire wasn't an accident. It was set and it appears Jagger, a Jagger who survived prosecution by the Fed's is still out to get them. It all stemmed from the purchase of Ian, a young man, from Jagger and his stable of young men and boys. This is what put them on Jagger's radar but they thought they were clear of him when the paid money for Ian. An Ian who's a chef and owns his own restaurant and has a life with friends. Friends who protect him and love him.

    On arrival home after one hectic night Rowe sees that his porch light is out. Rowe was in the Army and moved from that to be a Ranger. He's suspicious of everything. A light out wouldn't mean much to most people but to a trained Ranger it could mean trouble especially with the fire at the Warehouse. Ward draws his gun and gets ready. He see's someone smoking a cigarette and a voice that says" Don't shoot, Ward. I didn't travel sixteen hours from Berlin to be shot by your crazy ass." He immediately recognizes the voice of his best friend Noah Keegan. A fellow Ranger and a guy Rowe trusts with his life. A guy he shared danger and some happy times with.

    So begins one damned fine read.

    This one has Rowe, Noah, Snow, Lucas, Andrei, Jude, Gidget Row's computer hacker and right hand, Ian, his police officer who has disappeared, a Rowe trying to work through the loss of Mel a woman he loved with his whole heart, a Rowe who has knows for quite a while that he is bi, a Rowe who shared a night with Noah, a Rowe trying to come to terms with the loss of Mel and his feelings for Noah, a Noah who has loved Rowe since he first laid eyes on his but has juggled that love with friendship and shared danger, a series of fires set by an unknown person that Rowe got a brief look at, a Rowe who is shot at the scene of one of those fires, not a bad wound, attacks on Ward's clients, a Gidget who has a secret, a Noah who begins to suspect her, a missing son, a fire at Mel and Rowe's home, a fire that destroys everything Rowe holds dear, a Rowe who realizes he has to move on, a Noah who is ready to leave, a Rowe who needs him to stay, the capture of the fire starter, her brother, murder, arson, and Rowe Ward, Noah Keegan and the team doing their best to save lives, find arsonists and stay alive.

    Noah coming back into Rowe's life was what Rowe needed to jump back into life. After the devastation of losing Melissa to the entire group, Noah brought in a fresh personality to the family. I'm excited to continue with this series and see how Ian and Hollis work out their issues.

    I'm still not sure if I was looking forward to Rowe's book, or if I was dreading it. I think maybe a little bit of both. I knew, because I loved Rowe and Mel... that it was going to be a hard one. An impossible one... But oooh, was it worth it.

    In this one, we're struggling, because Rowe is still struggling. He's trying to find a new normal that is a life without the love of his life. It's hard on all the guys though, and at the risk of pushing them away, nobody even brings her up anymore.... which is a shame, because she meant so much to all the guys, not just Rowe. So, things are kind of just paused, and not so much getting better.

    That is, until Rowe's best friend and brother from the Army comes into town, hoping that maybe his unrequited feelings he had so long for Rowe, might finally be resiprocated.
    I LOVE Noah... my heart hurt so badly for him, because it was so obvious how much he cared for Rowe, how much he loved him and how badly it hurt him every time Rowe pushed him away..... especially after getting close.
    I hated that Rowe didn't see how it was affecting Noah, and how badly he was ripping him apart. I actually cried a bit for Noah... which I was so proud of myself for not doing in this series!
    I will admit, I'm a crier, but I hadn't yet in this one.... But my heart broke for Noah....
    We all know what it's like to have unrequited love, eh? It sucks.

    I always feel so sappy because there's such a great mysterious thriller going on, and it's enough to keep my heart racing and the pages turning, but I'm just so wrapped up in the romantic part of it, I sometimes forget there's a psychopath after all of them.... and it all comes together, the "why" of it all in this one.
    I cannot wait for Ian... I've been most excited for him since the beginning, although I'm not sure anyone can top Andrei and Lucas for swoonworthy hotties. Though, again with the heartbreak.. I love them so much and I can't bear to see Andrei so upset and Lucas so broken.
    I keep telling myself that I have a life I need to get to... kids and a husband and 3 dogs, but I can't leave things like they are right now... I've got to read more.
    I've got to see what happens with Ian and the cop....
    I've got to see Lucas come back and grovel for hurting Andrei....
    I've got to see more Snow and Jude, cuz dudes.... they're so hot together!
    And finally, I want to see them get this guy who's been bent on making their lives such trouble.

    On to the next one!!!
    I fear I won't sleep until I do

    5 stars from me. Awesome series!

    The four Unbreakable Bonds buddies, Lucas, Snow, Rowe, & Ian, cope with a murderous arsonist hellbent on razing their homes and businesses to the ground. Torch focusses on Rowe, who is suffering the loss of his wife, Melissa, and confused about his feelings for his old army buddy, Noah. All the books in the series mix action, danger, and romance, but this has the most thrilling danger so far. The agony Rowe experiences as he fights his feelings for Noah was moving. 🎧 Kenneth Obi does a great job of narrating these books.

    Ich bin süchtig! Kann den nächsten Teil kaum erwarten.

    Mischung aus friends-to-lovers und gay-for-you

    Rowans Frau ist vor 9 Monaten gestorben und er findet einfach nicht den Weg zurück ins Leben; bis eines Tages sein Army buddy Noah vor der Tür steht, den er seit Jahren nicht mehr gesehen hat.

    Die Crime-Story über den größen Bösewicht geht nur wenig voran - trotzdem toll!

    Unbedingt Teil #1 und #2 vorher lesen.

    Wow what a rollercoaster of a novel and we finally find out the reason Jagger wants Snow Lucus and Rowe dead and it all comes back to what happened in book one in this series, very clever plot line from these authors. This book is focused on Rowe and his ranger mate Noah who turns up on Rowe's doorstep after thirteen odd years. Together they must find out who is trying to kill them all by arson. Rowe has feelings for Noah and secretly Noah is in love with Rowe. Can a broken Rowe learn to live and love again after Mel's death and can both men build a relationship out of chaos. If you haven't read these books before then you're missing out on a great series but these books Must be read in order. Highly recommended.

    I loved this third book in the Unbreakable Bond series. All our loveable guys are back, but this one is Rowe's story. Still heartbroken over the death of his wife Rowe is learning to live again. When Rowe's old ranger buddy Noah shows up Rowe's feeling for him are still there. Rowe and Noah are great characters and the chemistry between the two is hot. You will laugh with them (bbq ribs will never be the same), and cry for them but you will never give up on them, they know what they're doing and how to get it done. The bad guys better watch out because these guys are out for blood know.
