I’m considering running away to a town without the crazies.Nothing new here.Everything is going smoothly—too smoothly—and I can’t shake the feeling that something is about to happen. Drake insists I’m being paranoid… But when a body turns up at the Holly Woods Halloween party, we have a whole lot more than a murderer to worry about.Because the prime suspect is his mom.And it’s my job to prove she’s innocent. (Tied Bond is the fourth full-length book in the Holly Woods Files series and does not stand alone.)
My Thoughts
I have been invested in the Holly Woods files since the very beginning. I thought I had seen it all, but I must admit that I was surprised that things could get even crazier! Tied Bond is full of more mystery, another murder, and one even crazier Nonna! Emma Hart really brought out her best in Tied Bond. This series just keeps getting better and better. It keeps climbing with the relationship that Noelle and Drake hold!
In the previous books in Holly Woods files murders were solved, thanks to Noelle, the brilliant and smart girl. This time another murder occurred in little old Holly Woods and much more is at stake. The prime suspect is Drake's mom! Noelle promises Drake that she won't get involved anymore, because in previous books, she has been in face-to-gun situations. But will Noelle just stand by and do nothing while an innocent person is being wrongfully accused?
This books brings in my favorite characters from the past, as well as some new ones that we have never seen before! It was beautifully tied in and the story flowed nicely. We get to see a new little addition, which is Bek dating! *gasp* Everyone is surprised by this and I love the FBI agent she has a date with, but I have a feeling this isn't the detective she wants. I loved that Emma Hart threw in this new little romance! Watching romance/love unfold is one of my favorite things!
I loved that Drake wasn't allowed to be all alpha in this book. We always see him as the lead detective, but this time he has to step down because his mom is the prime suspect. I got to see this whole new side to him that was adorable. His mom is very special to him and he doesn't want to disappoint her. I saw his vulnerability in not being able to do anything to help his mom out of this situation. I also go to see his relationship with Noelle grow. I love reading their interactions. It always leads to fun!
Now, Noelle is as fierce as ever. She handles everything so well and I love her! She is a strong woman and I got to see just how much she loves and cares for Drake. What I didn't expect is for Nonna to be fierce! I mean whoa! That lady is crazy and I love her for it. She brought fun and laughter into this book!
Tied Bond was more than what I expected. It gave me more to laugh about and more mystery than ever before. I really cannot recommend these books enough. I am telling you, pick them up now! They will have you wanting a detective of your own! Let me tell you, Drake Nash is HOT, all ALPHA, and all kinds of SEXY.

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…
One date with the sexier-than-sin Detective Drake Nash. Simple.Until you take into account that my brother finally proposed to his girlfriend, so Nonna is on a warpath—and the crazy old bat has Cupid by the balls.The upcoming mayoral elections has everyone running on full speed, and while I couldn’t give any less craps about the corrupt Holly Woods mayor’s office, a dead body in the middle of a campaign speech has me thrown right into the middle of it. The victim is close to the mayor, but all he cares about is minimizing the damage to his campaign, so he hires me to work alongside Drake to close the case as quickly as possible.Bad news for our tentative relationship.We disagree far more than we agree, but being at loggerheads won’t get this murder solved… Or deal with the arrival of someone from his past.The mysteries behind the murder aren’t the only things unraveling, and despite being knee-deep in lies and corruption and bonds so tangled they’re almost indecipherable, I have to figure out if I’m willing to fight for Drake the way I do justice…Or if he’ll be my one who gets away.
Detective Drake Nash: hot, alpha, bossy, and… mine.Now, if someone could tell his ex that... I don’t care if the summer fayre is coming to Holly Woods and she’s on the planning committee. What I do care about is sugar-filled food, bright lights, late nights… and danger. The type that won’t come in the form of Nonna’s new cantankerous British parrot, Gio. (Please see the damage done to Mom’s new curtains.)Unfortunately, when the danger comes, it comes in the form of something Holly Woods has never seen. The town is rocked to its core, and once again, I’m in danger. Only this time, it isn’t because of my clients—this time, I’m in danger because of who I am… Because of my heritage.And despite the HWPD’s best efforts, the bodies keep on piling up.Drake’s determined to protect me. I’m determined that I can do it myself.Danger. Mystery. Darkness. Malice.It’ll be a miracle if any of us make it out of this with guns unfired, cupcakes still frosted, and hearts intact…
