⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Members of a gangland crime family, Beau and Brett Bond are identical twins who have always had each other’s backs - and boy are they gonna need it, now more than ever!
Beau will do anything to protect his girlfriend Jolene and his twin Brett, likewise Brett would do anything for his brother, (literally anything) even if it brings violence and trouble to their door.
When Beau and Jolene get married, it brings together two warring families (one Gorgers and the other Romanies) who must put aside their differences if this marriage is to work - much easier said than done, because Beau and Brett have a very dark secret, and the wedding day turns out not to be the best day of any of their lives - and from that day on, things begin to spiral out of control in spectacular fashion, not just for the twins but for the whole family.
Another cracking read from the talent that is Ms Kimberly Chambers. The narrative was raw and gritty, there was some clever plotting, meticulous detail, and an all too credible cast of characters. These characters come fully fleshed, and they’re not all likeable, (although you don’t necessarily have to like them to enjoy the storyline), indeed most of them are everything you hope you aren’t. However, they aspire to exactly the same things that your average everyday person does - a comfortable lifestyle, nice house and car, happy healthy kids, it’s just that the Bond family achieve some of these things in an unlawful and frightening manner!
With an abundance of characters this was a phenomenal read, written in a kind of “Here I am, take me as you find me” style (which Kimberly Chambers excels at, and it’s what makes her books so readable). It’s raw, it’s gritty, yet surprisingly emotional at times, so it goes without saying that ‘The Brothers’ was a total page turner, and worth every one of those 5 stars!

Hi, review below for
‘The Brothers’ by Kimberley Chambers published by HarperCollins TODAY March 14th
469 Pages
KC fans always wait excitedly for a new book and it seems a long time since 2021 and ‘The Family Man’ ( Book 1 in series )….fair to say we were thrilled to hear about ‘The Brothers’ and more than keen to read it
And of course it did not disappoint….
Not in story, characters, setting or the unique tone that this author brings to her books
Its eye wateringly real in every way and unflinchingly direct, KC can and does push every limit and does it so so well, I rarely am open mouthed by what I read but was pretty much all the way through
There are a lot of folk to meet at the beginning but once met them all the action is unstoppable, it really doesn’t take a breath till the last sentence and even that leaves you wanting more for the next book (Book 3 in this series)
Every situation pretty much you can imagine KC covers in this book and as said in her unapologetic style
It is a fantastic book by a true legend who cant half right an amazing tale 😎

‘Our names are Beau and Brett Bond, and this is our story …’
This is the follow-up to ‘The Family Man’ which focussed on Kenny Bond’s family. Beau and Brett are his twin grandsons. That book finished in 1993 when the twins were 16 years old and this one picks up in the Summer of that year. I am glad I took notes from the last book as a reminder of events that happened then but Chambers does go over what happened in that first book but it is still best to read it first. I quickly got back into it though. Chambers books really are a guilty pleasure.
Proper laugh out loud moments and ultra-violence. Nice mix. Nothing goes smoothly for folks in Chambers books. It would be boring if they did. Sex, death, murder, blackmail, kidnap, secrets, affairs, drink, drugs and revenge. Just normal Chambers then.
The book simmers as it builds up. You know it will come to a head, but you are never sure quite when and how. No doubt that blood will be spilled and lives will be destroyed. It all happens. To be continued…

I couldn’t wait to get mu hands on The brothers which is Book 2 in the Bond brothers series. As I have only read the first one recently. I wasn’t disappointed this is even better than the first one.
The twins are now sixteen and have both different personalities. Beau gets married to his traveller girlfriend Joelene even though both families are against it at first and Brett has a secret that he is trying to hide if it gets out his family might disown him.
Grandpa Kenny has also secrets of his own that eventually spiral out of control which gets him in a whole heap of trouble.
This is another unputdownable read from the author from the first page to the last. I loved every minute of it and hope it is not long to wait until the next one. 5 stars from me.

It seems forever that I've been waiting for the new Kimberley Chambers follow up to The Family and I can tell you its been worth the wait.
In the first book we met the Bond Family and this time we follow the Bond brothers, Brett and Beau who are both now 16.
Beau Bond is about to get married to Jolene. He will do anything to make sure that happens, his love for her is intense and in spite 0f the fact that they are both only 16 he loves her more than anything.
Brett Bond is hiding a secret from his family including his brother, who nonetheless are inseparable but there are some secrets that can't be spoken.
Kenny Bond will always put family first and do anything for his grandsons and as the past comes back to haunt them, it may be something they will regret.
This was brilliant, fast paced and I can honestly say I was holding my breath till the last word.
Her writing and storytelling is unique because of the characters she writes. The dialogue is spot on.
I've read everyone of KC books and this one is up with the best, her OMG moments are legendry.
I can't wait for her next book now.

3.5, not my usual kind of read, but it was enjoyable enough to want to read the next book in the series.
February 27, 2024
They will do anything to protect ones they love.
This author has pulled off another blinding read.
Beau and Brett Bond, bond by name and nature, identical in most ways, with totally different personalities, now sixteen years old following there grandad Kenny the family man in more ways than one setting up a family garden business, never forget what side your bread is buttered on.
This London gangster crime book has to be one of my favourite from this author she knows how to entertain her readers. A full bang on blinding read, action packed, and some very emotional chapters that will choke you up big time.
All I can say is I LOVED THE WHOLE LOT OF THIS BOOK.
bring on the next in this series be well worth waiting for.

The Brothers is a follow on from The Family Man and follows twin brothers Brett and Beau Bond. What a cracking read this turned out to be. Kimberley chambers has a natural gift for creating very colourful characters, that are larger than life, by the time you get to the end of The Brothers you feel like you know them all personally, flaws and all (and believe me they all have plenty of them!). I loved catching up with the wayward Bond brothers, and as you would expect there's plenty of violence and treachery along the way.
In my opinion Kimberly Chambers is the queen of the gritty, criminal tale she manages to take the reader on a dark and twisted journey deep into the criminal world. This book has all the ingredients the authors legion of fans have come to love and I’m sure they won’t be disappointed, it has shocks and “OMFG” moments galore, it’s another amazing page turner and one that will certainly be heading for the bestseller spot. Highly recommended and roll on the third book in the series.

Another brilliant book from Kimberley Chambers.
Brett and Beau are twins and have a very close bond. They did something that had repercussions through their family and that of Beau’s future wife’s family too but they both manage to move on with their lives. However, when Beau marries Jolene it’s clear there’s tension between the Bond family and Jolene’s family.
Their grandad Kenny is also skating on thin ice with his wife Sharon as he has a child with another woman that no-one knows about.
There’s lots of different threads in this book and I loved how it all came together.
This is a gripping thriller with family and gangland crime at its centre.
A brilliant book that I’d highly recommend.
Thanks to Harper Collins UK and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

The second book in the Bond Brothers series and as like the first book The Family Man this was an absolute corker of a read. Kimberley Chambers is one of my absolute favourite authors and as soon as I hear she has a new book out I’ll drop everything else to read it. The Brothers is one of those books that I guarantee that once you start it you won’t be able to put down. This is a gripping read with a brilliant set of characters.

I have not been as engrossed in a book since I read ‘The Feud’ trilogy.
I cannot wait for Essex Wives to be released.

I received this as an ARC from Netgalley.
It was my first time reading this author’s work… it took me a while to get used to changing of character plots/thoughts etc but once I got engrossed in the story it was thoroughly enjoyable… so much so… I need to go and find some more of the authors other books to read!!!

This wonderful author never disappoints......Kimberley is a brilliant author, all her books will have you hooked from the very beginning till the very end. Once you start to read her books you don't want it to end.
The Brothers by Kimberley Chambers was no different, this was a superb book especially as it is the second book in the excellent The brothers series, which is about a gangland crime family. Beau and Brett Bond are identical twins who have always had each other’s backs - They have a dark secret that could cause a war between both sides. But this time they need to have their wits about them more than ever, if they want to survive!
Brett is a survivor, he always follows his brother’s Beau's lead, even if it means he's lives to regret it.
When Beau and Jolene get hitched, their feuding families must put all their differences aside.
The dark secret is bumbling very close to the surface and what better place to reveal all, is at the wedding of the year….....
Will they brothers still have each other’s backs?
Or is it too late to put things right again between both families.
WoW.........This book was so good! I loved it!
I highly recommend this book another 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ book!
Plus, can be read as a standalone but I do recommend you read the first book called The Family. Bloody Brilliant!

The Family Man I have only just read however this actually was the last book KC released I believe three years ago. For me moving on to this book was a great thing but for others I imagine its been a long time coming. The Family Man I enjoyed but in some respects I didn't care too much for the characters so I was interested to see how this latest book fared.
Brett and Beau Bond the twins in the family are the main focus this time around and we get to see more of Beau and his new wife Jolene. Once again the writing and storyline for me is still just as good and shows why KC can tella good yarn, however my feelings about the characters remained. In all honesty I enjoyed this second book slightly more than the last but still though the whole Bond Family are characters I just don't care too much for.
The small niggle aside this book has all you could want and expect from a KC book and I think her fans will absolutely love it. A solid read by a great author, here's hoping I like the next lot of characters more.

would like to thank netgalley and the publishers for letting me read this book
omg what have i just read.....but you have to get through a lot of characters before it all starts to make sense
its a gangland style book reminiscent of martina cole...in fact she is mentioned in this book but with a slight different style to it
when beau married jolene none of their families were impressed with either choice.... jolene was part of the gypsy culture and brett was born a born to be gangster
his twin brother brett was in a different world all together but thats a secret he wants to keep from his family
as life starts to get complicated for all, things start to unravel for all
the ending though omg wasnt expecting that, and for that alone i am giving this book 5 stars.... wow

The Queen of Gangland Crime is back and back with a bang.
I decided to do a reread of The Family Man before jumping right in to The Brothers. It was great being able to read them back to back. Getting familiar again with the characters and what a bunch of Characters we have. Written in a way only KC seems to be able to offer. Another first class story full of oddballs and notrights.
Its fresh, it's real, it's gripping. The action is fast, packs a punch and leaves you wanting more.
It feels like we've waited a lifetime for this book, buy my goodness it was certainly worth the wait.
The Bond brothers are starting out in their criminal world, following in Grandads footsteps, The brothers will show why family is blood. Sticking together through thick and thin and ups and downs.
Feuding families brought together, Crime, crime and a bit more crime. loves, lies, feuds. KC has certainly honed her skills in this genre and knows exactly what her readers want. KC has delivered time and time again and this is no exception.
~I can't praise this book highly enough. I really bloody enjoyed it.

Absolutely love this author, brilliant story line and characters, cannot wait for book no 3 of this series.

Possibly the best book I’ve read in my life, amazing from the first page, loved everything about it, fantastic ending and I really hope there is a follow up book, amazing AAA
March 23, 2024
Absolutely brilliant and didn't disappoint once again, the end leaves you crying out for the next one to be written immediately lol.
July 30, 2024
Absolutely brilliant, could not put it down
March 23, 2024
I was lucky enough to be invited to read this book by the publisher. It's the follow up to The Family Man which introduced the Bond family and this book follows the next generation, but could also be read as a standalone. I really have no idea how Kimberley Chambers mind works or where she gets her ideas from! It's the usual violence etc that we've come to expect - certainly not for the faint hearted! Plenty of scope for a follow up to find out how life pans out for Beau and Brett and hope that there is one in the pipeline.

The narrator was good
March 25, 2025
I am a big fan of Kimberley but did not rate this book as one of her best.
It is #2 in a series portraying the lives of Essex crime families the Bonds and the gypsy Tamplins, focusing mainly on brothers Beau and Brett Bond.
The story was very light weight and more about family feuds and fall-outs than the criminal underworld and some of it was written like a comedy rather than a thriller.
All the characters were very exaggerated and cliched and there was too much swearing.
All the serious action came right at the end.
Sorry to only give 2 stars but Kimberley has written some great books and I will continue to follow her.

Brilliant read, gripping story and gutted to finish it. She doesn't hold back with her characters. True queen of crime books 💯
March 29, 2024
Although I liked the book, I didn’t enjoy it unlike previous titles. There was too many characters to follow so was quite confusing at times.
February 1, 2025
A lot of characters sometimes made it difficult to follow at times. A family tree at the beginning would have made it simpler to understand the relationships. Overall well paced.
February 28, 2024
I haven't read any books by Kimberley Chambers for a few years now and to be totally honest I've forgotten what a fab author she is with a wonderful gift of story telling.
The Brothers - wow, wow, wow ..... I have devoured this read in just over a day. I've not felt like this about a book and it's characters in a good while, I was hanging onto every word and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I found myself picking up my kindle to continue reading whenever I could. This is a cracker of a read that has everything I like - great writing, characters that are realistically and believeably portrayed who are larger than life and jump out of the pages. Some I liked and others I hated. The plot line is well thought out and there are so many threads I felt like I was unwrapping secret after secret. I'm not certain I like either of the brothers, or some of their family members - yet I struggled to put this book down and found it one very addictive read. I think the author really knows how to connect with her readers, lure them straight into the story and keep them entertained from beginning to end. My only gripe, if I can call it that, is that initially I felt it was top heavy with characters so it took me a while to get used to them all and slot into place in my mind. Once I was familiar with them, I began to really enjoy and get into this great read. The ending sets up the next book nicely and I'll definitely be wanting to read that. I can't fault this book at all, I absolutely loved it.
If you're a fan of gangland crime I think you'll like The Brothers and I'd recommend it.

My only gripe, if I can call it that, is that initially I felt it was top heavy with characters so it took me a while to get used to them all and slot into place in my mind. Once I was familiar with them, I began to really enjoy and get into this great read. The ending sets up the next book nicely and I'll definitely be wanting to read that. I can't fault this book at all, I absolutely loved it.
If you're a fan of gangland crime I think you'll like The Brothers and I'd recommend it.
