A wood elf and a dark elf, Dorlyn and Vylkur, have taken refuge in the sanctuary city of Lehnos because their love was shunned by both of their peoples. There, as they made a life together, a fiery redheaded half-breed mercenary, Liandrya, became more than a typical, casual fling. Though the mated men knew the half-elf was not immortal as they were, she still managed to work her way into their hearts and turned the couple into a trio. The bonds between the three lovers are tested when a mask of unimaginable power and evil comes into Liandrya's possession. Unwilling to turn the artifact over to her employer, an evil dark elf sorceress, the three lovers embark on a journey to destroy the mask, but risk the same fate to their unconventional bonding with each leg of their quest.

5.0 out of 5 stars If "Steamy" in the title didn't tell you, you have been warned

As the title of this book suggests, it is an erotic tale that features a throuple who has a lot of M/M action. If that does not interest you, do not read this book.

As to the story itself, it was a simple retelling of the basic high fantasy storyline with lots of foreshadowing. The story itself wasn't very unique or surprising, but it was sweet and very well written. There were a couple of small editing errors but nothing worth mentioning. If you are looking for a nice, sexy story that is just a little enchanting with a lot of feels, this one is for you. Anyone looking for anything else, you have been warned.

3.0 out of 5 stars Oldskool high fantasy with a side of MMF and annoying overuse of italics
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018

A menage in a high fantasy setting? With elves and magic and heroic characters fighting orcs? Intriguing, for those of us who like this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, I had a really hard time getting into this book.
The characters are ok, the story is classic high fantasy, but the romance... we see some of it between our heroes in the (very long!) prologue, but then suddenly the heroine is also involved with them and has been for a couple of years. Eeehh... I'd have wanted to read about how they met and got together, how they all felt about this new development for all three of them.
I was also a little disappointed at how few intimate scenes the book had. Steamy MMF sounds to me like a promise of lots of hot sex scenes, but there was maybe three total, I think.
The gazillion italicized words also didn't help. On the contrary. They were annoying and distracting, and on top of all that, a lot of the time misplaced. I found myself focusing more on the italics than the actual content.

But sure, read it if you like oldskool high fantasy with a side of MMF romance. It's not a bad book, as such (apart from the italics), but it's unfortunately not nearly as memorable as I had hoped.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Steamy Read
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2018
Bonded Eternal by A.J. Ryder is a MMF fantasy romance novel and book one in the Ballads of Cadarnle. In this book we are introduced to Dorlyn, a wood elf. Dorlyn is out checking his traps to see what they have caught when he notices that one has been destroyed. The trap isn’t torn or frayed but has the appearance of being cut. Dorlyn searches for the possible culprit and finds a dark elf that he remembers all too well. Dark elves and wood elves are natural enemies, but there is a spark of attraction between the two of them. Vylkur, the dark elf, tells Dorlyn that he has fled the dark elves because unlike them he does not lust for bloodshed and destruction. Vylkur is fleeing to a village of where those like himself, outcasts and runaways, can have a place to call home. Dorlyn agrees to help him find the way to this village. However, their attraction pulls them together and together they stay. Fast forward 300 years and another enters the scene. Liandrya is a half-elf who has joined the two men. Together they have become a happily mated trio, but one day the past comes back to haunt them through her actions. Liandrya took on a task to acquire an object for a client, but instead of turning this item over she keeps It and goes on the run. Danger and darkness now haunt and dog her every step, but it will soon encompass them all.
Bonded Eternal is the first book by A.J. Ryder that I have read. This is a fantasy novel full of elves, orcs, giant spiders, magic and other dark creatures. The first portion of the story focuses on Dorlyn and his dark elf lover, Vylkur. I like that the author gives us Vylkur’s backstory in concern to his former mistress and the things that he endured while he was with her. He was her apprentice from a young age, but once he came of age, he became much more. The author doesn’t go deep into his past, only giving us his story without having him really relive any part of it. Since Dorlyn has spent all of his life with the wood elves, we don’t really get a lot of his past beyond a glossing reflection. The story flows well overall, but I feel that a certain point that it becomes rushed and that we don’t get as much as we could have.
There are a few editorial errors throughout the story. The issues aren’t anything major, just some minor spelling errors that catch the eye. One other issue that I have with the story is the fight scenes. I don’t like that despite the odds, in the scenes we are given, the characters basically manage to come away unscathed. The elves are described as being fast and agile, but even so it’s hard to believe that none of them would get hurt. Also, in a scene with the spider, for the creature to show hesitation is hard to believe. It has one character incapacitated, but then hesitates on deciding who to attack. It doesn’t make sense especially when another character enters the location and it attacks immediately. I would have liked the story to have been more balanced and less focused on giving the heroes the overwhelming edge. I feel it would have made the story more dramatic and engaging.
Overall, I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed the storyline and the uniqueness of it. There are a couple of twists that are unexpected, but nothing majorly earth shattering. The story does have sex scenes, so if you’re adverse to that then I don’t recommend this book to you. But if you love a good steamy scene then go ahead and pick this book up and indulge.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down!

I read this book in less than twelve hours, I legit could not put it down! The main trio of characters are amazing and I loved their relationship, as well as the story! High fantasy and a battle of good working to end a form of evil is always a plus in my book (haha). I also felt the steamy parts were well balanced to the rest of the story (there are three which is perfect I think) and spread well throughout the book. Overall, a very good, quick read and I will for sure end up going back to it again!

This book was so enticing. A must read adventure filled with epic battles in both the battle field and the bedroom.

I loved that the characters for me never got annoying and only grew through out the book. They were all badass and amazingly loving and caring.
