Ties That Bind by Celeste Night is a Second Chance, hidden child, mafia-isk romance. I’ve read other books by this author so I knew I was going to be a fan of this one as well. Well boy was I right, I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down, I read it in a few hours. I was hooked almost immediately. This was written so well with a great plot and amazing descriptions; it was so easy to feel what the characters were feeling. Speaking of said characters, I really enjoyed reading Nia Ian’s Enzo’s story. She was strong yet stubborn; her character was so relatable. He was just a perfect morally gray man. Their character development was so good! I ate this story up! It was sweet yet spicy and had everything I could have wanted out of this standalone. I loved how things came to a head. But have no fears there is a happily ever after! This is a perfect book if you like reads that are a bit dark with some spicy good times. Plus Enzo is just a chef’s kiss of a character. Also have you seen the cover! It’s so pretty!!!  I can’t recommend Celeste Night enough… all the books I’ve read by this author are fabulous. 

Final review:

5 out of 5 stars
