Xander Brentwood is practically the poster boy for “tall, dark, and handsome.” Standing 6’3”, with washboard abs and the biggest, brownest eyes I’ve ever seen, he’s become the leading man in all my heated, torrid dreams of late.I know him, but I don’t know how I know him.I wish I could remember.But my memory isn’t what it used to be – not after surviving a fiery tragedy four years ago. I don’t … a fiery tragedy four years ago. I don’t remember a second of it – but the accident changed my life forever, claimed the life of my unborn baby, and robbed me of every worthwhile memory I had.
Even my memories of him.
But now that I’m around this gorgeous, hard-working single dad, I feel the ghost of a barely-remembered something hanging like a forgotten thread – threatening to unravel both our lives if I keep tugging at it.
But you can’t hide the truth forever – and now that it emerges, I’ve come to wonder if everything else I’ve been ‘taught’ to remember since the accident might also be a lie. The only thing I am sure of is Xander – and that I’m handcuffed to this man in more ways than one.
But how can I let myself disrespect the memory of my best friend by falling for her widowed husband?
Handcuffed to You is the second book in Alandra Knight’s heart wrenching Finding Our Forever series – beautifully crafted and emotionally intense tales of true love conquering impossible odds.

Loving this finding our forever series! The Brentwood brothers are wonderful men who have had tragedy and work hard for their family, but they still deserve to find their forever. Ella had been friends Xander and his wife. They both lost in the accident, but time brought them back together and they both learned for the other.
My goodness! This book kept me on the edge of my seat!! I finished this book in less than a day! I couldn’t put it down and had to figure out what was going to happen next. Xander is just hot hot hot!! And Ella is so sweet. Can’t wait for book 4!!!
The story of Xander and Ella had me engaged and invested as it is connected to the previous book, Second Time Around. Xander lost his wife in the same accident as Jaxon’s wife, Dahlia, and starts to find love again, unexpectedly, with his late wife’s friend, Ella. It’s another sweet story and it had me rooting for this couple. I myself always find it strange when a friend of one of the spouses becomes the new love interest because it makes me question if there were ever feelings/attraction during the marriage but the way it was written helped me understand why it happened and how they can feel connected because of a tragedy that affects both. Beautifully written!
This book is written much better then books 1 & 2, the story has a flow to it and is mainly about Xander & Ella, until you get near the end then it starts to veer off towards the kids. There is a lot of new content in this book that wasn’t in the other books, parts about Daisy are in italic and fills in important information. The book also informs you when it moves ahead. There are still parts that just end abruptly – things happen between Grayson & Ella and just stop and then you don’t hear about Grayson till the very end of the book. Still a lot of parts toward the end were taken straight out of books 1 & 2 – more then there should have been. There are still grammar errors but not near as many as in book 2. Characters from the other books do appear in this book but the author doesn’t veer to much into their stories. I felt the ending of this book was rushed and needed more details about everything that went down with Grayson, Viviana and the accident that happened so many years ago.
This book takes you on a heartbreaking journey of two lost souls that get a second chance at love and also has some funny moments. Can’t wait to read more by this author – she is improving her writing skills with each new book.
This is the second book of the Finding Our Forever series by Alandra Knight.
Xander’s first wife Daisy was killed in a horrible car accident when their twins were just babies.
Ella was Daisy’s best friend was also involved in the accident when she lost more than just her memory.
Years later Ella was at the end of her ropes with everything ready to die when Xander saves her life.
Ok this is all I’m going to give y’all if you want to find out what happens you’ll have to read this book.
It is an emotional rollercoaster.
I absolutely loved this story!! It will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Xander is unable to get past the loss he has felt since the death of his wife, Daisy. He takes comfort in Daisy’s friend Ella. Xander starts to have feelings that he thought he would never have again. This book held my attention from start to finish, I really didn’t want it to end. It is an engaging page turner and is well written . The characters are indescribable and you will love them. This is a definite must read.
Loved this book showing Xander’s view. After his beloved wife Daisy is killed in an accident leaving him widowed with twin boys he never thought that he could love again. He keeps himself busy raising the boys when he surprising takes comfort in Ella, who was Daisy’s friend. It becomes a friendship that slowly starts to bring out feelings that Xander thought were buried in his heart. He can’t seem to explain, but he’s beginning to fall in love with her and to feel alive again. Beautifully written and you’ll fall in love with their story!
Xander and Ella were friends and she was a link in his marriage to his late wife, Daisy. There were questions in book 1 that are answered in book 2.
Ella was another victim of the nightmare that took so many lives in one night. she survived but her memory did not. As Xander tries to help her, her vicious ex tries to manipulate her.
Theirs is not and easy relationship but trust builds as they find their way past pains and horrible realizations.
There is a happy ending and some questions are answered but still many are a mystery.
Book two in the series and I had high hopes…..it soared above them. Each time I read one I have a fave character who I love (Jaxon) then I read dander and oh my god……swoon.
Again a love story with a twist, which I love. There is nothing bad about this book, the story line grabs hold and doesn’t let you go. Just when you think your life is on one path…it’s derailed, but that’s not to say it’s a bad path. I just loved this book.Another winner.
This book is heartbreaking with what Xander and Ella has been through together and apart. I couldn’t put this book down once I started. More revelations about what happened that night and what is going on now.
I loved Xander and Ella together, they had a connection for ages, but took them a while to get back to where everything is good. Xander is very patient with Ella and her memories. Ella is there for the whole family once she is back in the fold. They have explosive chemistry from ages and finally give in.
I can’t wait for more.
