4.8 out of 5 stars 19 ratings

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.

    I don’t know how these two authors managed to combine their individual worlds to create this world, but it’s done with such perfection it’s beautiful to read.
    The authors truly pull your emotions out of you, leaving you in disbelief and desperate for the next in the series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Time to fight back
    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2025
    I love that we got a lot more action in book 2. It was so freaking exciting when Lio said 🤬 this, it's time to fight back. Chaos was unleashed. Ghost finally joined the party. We got to see more of Marcus and Keegan, but not as War and Mayhem. I want to see War and Mayhem come out to play. They are incredible together, and I'm looking forward to them hopefully getting more involved. I get that being parents makes it a little more complicated for them to give all their time to fighting. Cole's young and needs at least one of his dads with him. But I miss witnessing them in action.

    There will probably be lots of people surprised by something Roman does, but I was honestly not. I was actually happy for him. It was nice to see him and Lio bonding more, too.

    Now, let's rant some.

    I was not happy with Tennant and Benjamin. I'm so over Benjamin. If these people don't stop making Ignacio the bad guy, I'm liable to take out a hit on them. For real, Benjamin wasn't the only one who suffered trauma. Ignacio was tortured and a literal second away from being 💀. Yet all we ever hear about is poor Benjamin. Tennant being hung up on Ignacio not training Ben is annoying. How is it that NO ONE seems to get the fact that Ignacio has been caught up in trauma and guilt and was dealing with it the best he could at the time. Then his fiance goes and puts a knife in his heart and back by cheating on him and then leaving him. Benjamin complains about Ignacio not hearing him, not being supportive enough, yet he failed at seeing and understanding Ignacio during all that as well. He failed at being a good partner too. And now, he's "in love" with Tennant and screw the man who loved him, wanted to marry him, and that he was supposed to love unconditionally. I used to feel horrible for what Ben went through, and I still feel sorry it happened to him, but he's not someone I'm able to like anymore. I hope he one day gets his head out of his @$$ and realizes his own mistakes instead of just blaming Ignacio. So, seriously, if Leigh and Abri decide to off a character, I vote for Benjamin.

    Okay, rant over.

    Now, let's talk about the fact that I don't have the first dang clue as to who is behind everything! I found myself even more confused about possibilities after Sargeant Mac talked about who brought him in. It's obviously someone who hates both families. It's concerning the amount of information they have on both. It would seem it's someone close to them. But who?! I need more clues, I need the next book! Until then...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Book 2 is amazing
    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2025
    The evil geniuses are at it again! It doesn’t surprise me at all that I was thoroughly sucked into this story and didn’t want to set the book down even for a second. I was hooked. This book, this sexy, bloody, and nerve wrecking book, was everything wanted and more. And I didn’t see some of this coming!! Like wow, my mind is blown on one of the Martelli-Amato pairings. Won’t say who cause no spoilers here. I will say, this one doesn’t hind in a cliffhanger but of course the story and plot are still going on, so I guess still a cliffhanger? Let’s call it a soft cliffhanger. Il Padrone and Cristian are still missing and the kidnapper is still trying to ruin both families with law enforcement keeping both families distracted but they have plans and they are putting those plans in motion to help take off some heat and give them a chance to find their Bosses. Meanwhile, Il Padrone and Cristian have to deal with some pretty awful villain speeches and some, as Cristian would say, boring torture. And of course during all this we have Amatos and Martelli’s pairing off and at odds with each other and within their families: they are falling apart without their Bosses while also doing a top notch job of figuring it out and working together. These two authors do such an amazing job! I legit finished this book in less than a day and couldn’t stop reading (except to drive but then they were still on my mind). I can’t wait to see what the evil Queens of dark mafia romance give us next. Abrianna Denae and Leigh Kenzie write fantastic dark romance apart but together? They are epic and feed off each other and let these boys run rampant and spill bloody words across the pages. Looking forward to book 3 and seeing what darkness awaits us.

    One of the authors in this co-write team told me before release that this was the "nice" book in this series. Either nice is a relative term, or we're in for a real ride in the upcoming stories. I'd argue that this book is instead an excellent and emotional bridging story that further brings the Amato and Martelli families closer together--in more ways than one. Denae and Kenzie "break" multiple genre expectations in how their various characters develop relationships in this crossover epic. I'm thoroughly enjoying that this new saga isn't two families acting in a shared interest but clearly staying in their own lanes as the authors trade off chapters. Instead, I often find myself having no idea which author penned each scene as the numerous characters intertwine and find their new normal without Cristian and Il Padrone at the helm. This book closes with a twist I never saw coming in a million years, and I'm officially in for the long haul...even if later books aren't so "nice."

    It's five stars from me. The story is shaping up with some twists and turns; I have no idea where it's going, but I'm going to be along for the ride.
    Ignatio has bagged himself a boss!! Let's hope that doesn't get too messy, but it will be fun whatever happens.
    Excellent writing, I enjoyed this book.
    Highly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intense crossover story
    Reviewed in Canada on April 22, 2025

    You really really need to have read at least one of the series from this crossover story and read the books in order or you will never keep this story straight. As it was I still had to keep referring to the family trees even though I have read Leigh Kenzie’s series.
    I am definitely in awe of Leigh Kenzie and Abrianna Denae for even attempting this absolute beast of a project. It has to be difficult enough keeping one series straight never mind two and then combining them? It’s absolutely fascinating and compelling and puts fresh eyes on these two groups of characters and their world. Totally crazy, totally unrealistic and yet a whole lot of fun. More please.
