Binding Pacts: A Dark Mafia Romance
Power built in blood is never stable, not when the ghosts you bury learn how to claw their way back.
The B.C.G.R. stands on the threshold of becoming something beyond survival. Old wounds must be reopened and silent pacts must be tested because vengeance is never granted by strength alone, but by the will to face what breaks you.
Topaz and Kya stitch themselves back together, fracture by fracture from the places pain left unshielded. Forming a pact neither saw coming.
Tori faces the greatest reckoning of Will she stand unyielding as she always has… Or confront the moment her iron will alone is no longer enough to outrun the consequences she built herself upon.
Only power built in devotion, survival forged by vows and loyalty sealed through pacts will stop the relentless forces from burning everything they love.

Binding Pact is the 3rd book in The Binding Trilogy by B. Shytle and M!stress Murder.
This has been a book that I have rather been impatiently waiting for. So, once I started reading it, I can honestly say, I wasn’t going to put it down, but that wasn’t a problem as I couldn’t put it down.
It was so nice being reunited with Tori, Onyx and their entire group. And I loved finding out what they were all up to and what they were each dealing with. With Onyx by her side Tori finds herself struggling, she feels like she’s the only one holding everything and everyone together, even though she feels likes everything is falling apart all around her.
I loved seeing everything that each couple was going through and what was happening with them as book 2 left everyone hanging on a cliffhanger.
Just make sure that you’ve read books 1 and 2 before you start this book so you know the characters, you know what’s happened, and you understand all the events as they play out. Because let me tell you this, this book ends with one humdinger of a secret being revealed.
I just hope that there’s another book to come, even though B. Shytle and M!stress Murder have said that this is a trilogy. But I do have to say that I would recommend this entire series to date. I just can’t get enough of it.

In the third installment of this enthralling trilogy, Tori, Onyx, Topaz, and Kya make their much-anticipated comeback. Tori and Onyx are flourishing and savoring their family life, making it heartwarming to see how their relationships evolve. The unexpected twists and turns in this chapter keep readers riveted, and I absolutely adore the heightened excitement! This story beautifully illustrates the characters' development as they navigate the challenges and pressures of their careers together. I thoroughly enjoyed this narrative and find myself eagerly anticipating what the future holds for this series and its characters. I highly recommend this book; however, if you plan to dive in, I suggest starting with Books 1 and 2, as they feature cliffhangers that seamlessly lead into this one. Additionally, there’s a captivating secret unveiled at the end of this installment! I truly admire the authors' writing style; it flows so smoothly that you hardly notice there are two different writers. You have both truly hit the mark once again!

Please check trigger warnings this book talks about very heavy topics.
This book was my favorite of the trilogy, why because Tori the fmc realized that she was the problem when it came to her team and not giving them a moment to breathe and be a regular human and not always a team that goes on the missions that they do end up going on. Topaz and Kya's relationship has been going strong and watching their relationship grow stronger through out book 2 and this book was amazing. This book had so many plot twists that you wouldn't see coming and the plot twist that hurt the most was involving one of the team members whose named is Chains. Onyx still loves his boys and Tori. If you read this book you may want to have some tissues when it comes to Chains because it will defiantly give you some emotional damage. This book was written perfectly as the last book in the trilogy.

Ummmm i thought this was a three part series but i kinda feel like there might be more to this story. Few things Topaz and Kya are friggen delicious! Clara is a cockroach. I truly honestly love this band of misfits and how they compliment one another and how they’ve grown through the three books and how they always have one another backs except me be Chains but we won’t go there.This one was really good, think they have gotten better as we have progressed in the timeline. I’m hoping there’s maybe more of the story. The spice was nice. Could always use more but that’s just me. Thanks for the opportunity to read this!

Binding Pacts is action packed, spicy, and full of twists. This is the third book in the series and they should be read in order to get the full effect. In this book we continue our journey with Tori and Onyx. They now have to maintain balance with two children, the B.C.G.R., and a possible rat amongst their ranks. I think they both really stepped their game up. Tori used to rule the B.C.G.R with an iron fist but she realizes that they are a team and it is better if they act as one and that she puts her trust in others. We get to see Tori's vulnerable side and it makes her more human and likable. Onyx also takes a step back and allows Topaz to start leading missions and have more responsibility. They are amazing parents and their children always come first. Plus readers still get to see the queen interact with her pet. The other part of the story focuses on Topaz and Kya. Topaz is now the lead when it comes to ops. He has to learn to lead and build confidence in himself and his abilities. I love Topaz and Kya together. Their playful personalities, chemistry, and spicy times make for an amazing read. You definitely see a different side to Kya. I loved the ending but it appears there may be more to come in a spinoff or something (fingers crossed, because I can't get enough)! This series was amazing and I can't recommend it enough! Make sure you check the warnings because there is some dark content.

This book was phenomenal! Seeing the growth of the characters, the relationships that have developed. Tori and Onyx are awesome as always. And seeing Topaz and Kya getting closer has been great. The spice is spicing in this one for sure. But hold on to your seats because you’ll be clutching this book like it’s your last glass of water in the Sahara. The betrayal, and continued twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat. I an so invested. There is no way this is the last book in this trilogy. It can’t be. You can’t leave us hanging like this…thank you for allowing me to be a part of your ARC team. I throughly enjoyed reading these amazing books ❤️😈

What an ending to the series! We find out Onyx’s fate and his challenges since Book 2. Tori is facing her own challenges with running everything and her family balancing act. We get to see how Topaz and Kya’s relationship has developed. Topaz has become the “boss” and taken on leading the team on missions. There is a rat in the mix and he or she must be found.
This book keeps you turning the pages. You stay engaged throughout the whole book. There are twists and turns you didn’t see coming. The ending comes out to shock everyone.
I can’t wait to see what kind of spin off series will come from this trilogy.

I have been impatiently waiting for this book to come out. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down.
Reading about Tori and her group and what their each dealing with was nice. Tori is struggling but Onyx by her side, she's holding everything together even when it feels like it's all falling apart.
Seeing what's going on between each couple was nice because book 2 left it all on a cliffhanger.
You definitely need to make sure you read books 1 and 2 before diving in. Just be prepared because this one ends with a secret coming out.

Tori, Onyx, Topaz, and Kya are back for book 3 of the trilogy. Tori and Onyx are recovering and enjoying being a family of 4. Topaz and Kya are developing their relationship and becoming more comfortable with their feelings and desires. Their jobs continue to be dangerous and stressful as Topaz has taken over commanding the team on ops and Tori has started to realize just what being in charge entails. When a mole threatens the safety of everyone the members of the team must figure out how to move forward. There are several time jumps forward after big events but everything still flows nicely and most questions are answered. The ending tho…….OMG …… here's hoping for another book!!

Holy wee spoon!!! 😯😯😯
Spank my ass , what a story this was. I was hooked from start to finish. Never stopping until it was done. It's action packed, spicy, lies, betrayal and so much more.
It had very interesting and intriguing characters, storyline and plot. Written wonderfully.
It's definitely dark, unhinged, raw and flipping brilliant.
Highly recommend.

I have been not so patiently waiting for this one since the moment I finished Binding Vows. I love the whole group and loved seeing how they became even closer and more united. We get to see more of each members individual stories and the tragedies they went through before being saved. Such a good ending that really tied everything together from all three books!
December 30, 2025
Definitely a great book. Has lots of spicy scenes. If you loved the other two books in the series you'll love this one as well. The characters continue to grow and realize mistakes they have made and how they should pay more attention and always be willing to help each other they truly become a Family and Tori realizes that she needs to let them grow as individuals not just at their jobs.

I was glued to the pages watching Topaz, Kya, and Tori navigate the wreckage of their pasts to build something stronger. The character growth in this book is phenomenal, Tori’s reckoning, in particular, was powerful and beautifully written. The themes of loyalty forged in blood and survival through devotion really resonated, and the pacing kept the tension high until the very end.

The story just keeps getting better with each book. I am absolutely in love with all of these characters. While the missions are dark situations, I love what B.C.G.R stands for and how they help others. This one does end on a cliff hanger and I'll be biting my nails waiting for the next book.

Binding Pacts is book 3 in The Binding Trilogy and books 1 and 2 must be read first. It picks up Tori and Onyx's story and is every bit as intriguing, dramatic and intense as Binding Devotion and Binding Vows is. Another absolute must read!

Binding Pacts is book three of The Binding Trilogy.
We get to see the fallout from the ending of book two and see what happens with Knut and Tori. We get to see the group come together and define their roles. I loved seeing Topaz and Kya develop more with their relationship.

B Shytle I will read everything you write! This book grabbed my heart and didn't let go! A piece of me will live with these books.

Another great book in this series. I loved seeing how Topaz and Kya’s relationship developed. I also really enjoyed how Tori and Onyx’s professional relationship evolved over time. This book has a few twists and turns that will keep you guessing. The ending definitely shocked me so I’m interested to see if there will be another book in this series.
