BLURB:
I’m an Italian-Texan woman in a family full of cops. I’m
passionate and shoot before I think. You only f*ck with me if you’re stupid.
Photograph cheating spouses. Hand over the evidence. Cash my
check.
That was my plan when I returned home to Holly Woods, Texas,
and became a private investigator.
Finding the dead body in my dumpster? Yeah… Given the
choice, I think I would have opted out of that little discovery, especially
since all three of my brothers are cops. And my Italian grandmother is sure the
reason I’m single is because of my job.
Of course, my connection to the victim is entirely
coincidental. Until I’m hired by her husband to investigate her murder and
shoved bang-smack into the path of Detective Drake Nash.
My nemesis, a persistent pain in my ass, and one hell of a
sexy son of a bitch.
Shame he still holds a grudge from that time I shot him in
the foot twelve years ago, or we could have something. In another life.
So now all I have to do is avoid my nonna’s blind dates, try
not to blackmail my brothers into giving me confidential police files, and
absolutely do not point my gun at Drake Nash. Or kiss him. Or jump his bones.
All while I hunt down the killer.
Sounds totally simple—until a second body proves that
sometimes things that start as coincidences don’t always end up that way…
(Twisted Bond is book one of the Holly Woods Files series
and while it does not end in a cliffhanger, it is not a standalone.)
Review:
5 out of 5 stars
I think this quickly became my favorite book by Emma Hart. I read this book so quickly but it captured my heart. It has a mix of everything I love in books which is passion, stubbornness, hot and cocky men, and an equally tough female character. I especially loved that Emma tried something different and it definitely worked. I loved the whole cop thing. It was definitely hot and steamy. Especially the banter between Detective Drake Nash and Noelle Bond. I especially love the names, especially the Bond part because she deserves that.
Noelle is amazing and she is by far my favorite female character. She's like a cop but she is a private investigator that uncovers cheating spouses or girlfriends. I found that so awesome and I love the whole thing! I liked hearing the stories about how the cheats would be discovered. It was very entertaining and suspenseful. Noelle was funny and she has such a strong character. I love women like that. The passion she has and she can shoot! I thought that was great because she can beat her brothers.
Now lets move on to the very sexy Detective. Drake Nash. His name is sexy and commanding just like him. He is so annoying at times because he wants to command everything but he does it in a way that makes you want him as much as Noelle does (even though she denies it). He is a great cop but I think Noelle is better and I like that. I am glad Emma made her this way because I love strong women that can handle themselves and others.
They have known each other a while now but they can't 'stand' each other. That is because their sexual tension and frustration from wanting each other is so powerful. I could feel it through the words. It was amazing to be able to feel that. This tension is even more increased because they are both trying to solve a murder. They get in each others way all the time and I have never wanted to get inside someones head like I do with Drake Nash. I need to know what he is thinking in that head of his.
This book is full of mystery and shocking information just keeps popping up. Just when you think you are getting one step closer BAM something changes course. I loved this so much. The mystery was great and it fulfilled the book in a way I didn't thing possible. Emma did a fantasic job with this book and I highly recommend it. Just be warned that Nonna is crazy and fun at the same time. Be ready for her attitude and her blind dates that she sets up for Noelle. She added great spice to the book. Watch out because this book will have your frustrated and shocked within one quick second!
