Sometimes the past is not dead and gone but very much alive still

4 stars for Blood Ties, Love Binds by Alexa Whitewolf. This is my first book from this author, and I am looking forward to more. Cassandra and Damon have a past and not a good one. Damon walked away from Cassandra 10 years ago and he crushed her heart. Cassandra has not seen him since that day. Now Damon is back , because there is a threat against Cassandra’s life, or so he says. Can she really trust him after everything that happened between them. I am a huge fan of romantic suspense and this book did not disappoint. However, this book isn’t just a romantic suspense , I would also consider it a second-chance romance. It has some hot and steamy scenes , but also some dangerous ones. The cover is what caught my eye. I love the reds and blacks. The fire is eye catching. It looks like it is coming from the couple and after reading the book I would say that Damon and Cassandra are a couple on fire. This is a great book that you will not be able to put done.
Told from dual POVs, Blood Ties, Love Binds is an easy and entertaining read. It is a romance but also has action and twists and turns to keep you turning pages. Cass is a strong and cool protagonist. I really liked her. The story is utterly addictive. If you pick this one up you are sure to finish it!
When I picked up this Romantic Suspense by Alexa Whitewolf, I had no idea what kind of a ride I was in for! The romance itself has you on your toes! Lots of witty banter and angst. The suspense has you turning the pages to see what happens next! And this book is filled with non-stop action!
Alexa’s talent shines through the pages, especially with her wonderful characters and great dialogue!! Cassandra’s life is on the line and she ends up in the arms of an old boyfriend, who she never quite got over. Damon feels the same about Cass, and hopes to rekindle something. Damon is so sweet, you can’t help but fall for him.
The suspense, action and romance are built up as the story goes along. It’s really very addicting! Highly recommend this one!! 5 Stars easily!!!
