Oh how I loved this remarkable conclusion to the Ties That Bind duet! Zavarelli and Knight did an incredible job and I’d definitely love to read more from this amazing duo.

His by Natasha Knight and A. Zavarelli is an EPIC read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!
HIS by Natasha Knight & A. Zavarelli is book 2 in the Ties That Bind series. This is the conclusion of Kat and Lev’s story.
The story picks up where book 1 left of. What a intense, dramatic, angsty, emotional experience book 2 was. HIS is NOT a standalone so don’t read it without reading MINE. Lev and Kat will enthrall you , entice you and keep you hooked on their 2nd chance mafia romance from start to finish. Would they ever get a life together or are their struggles all for naught? When you swim with the Russian Bravta, as Lev comes to realize, death is easier to do than live. The action, drama, angst, passion, twists, turns, suspense, intrigue, dark romance and love make this one amazing read!!!
My Rating: 4.8 stars ********
His was the dramatic and satisfying conclusion to the Ties That Bind duet. Full of betrayal, secrets and suspense Lev and Kat raced against time to stay one step ahead of their enemies. Their connection was just as intense and fiery as ever. I loved the fierce way both were willing to fight to protect their family no matter the cost. There was a time or two Kat had me growling in frustration but I enjoyed watching her come into her own especially when her mama bear instincts came into play. His was a sexy, dark and addictive mafia romance that I couldn’t get enough of.
Holy Moly!! I devoured this book just like I need with book 1!
Ashleigh Zavarelli and Natasha Knight nailed this series! I thoroughly enjoyed His. It was everything I wanted for the conclusion of this series!

_____
The Ties That Bind series, an all-new dark mafia romance from A. Zavarelli and Natasha Knight.
These two authors make a powerhouse team and this book absolute fire!! #MUSTREAD
His is the second & final book in the Ties That Bind series. His is the conclusion to Lev Antonov and Kat Blake’s story. Kat has been hiding for the last 4 years.
Lev finds Kat and so did trouble (the mafia). Things were very tense and intense at times while reading HIS. It kept me on the edge of my seat.
These authors really know how to work words into an enthralling story that keeps you glued to your seat and trying to ignore your family so you can just read and find out all that is happening to your make believe family!
I loved reading this romantic suspense and hope that these two authors will write more together! 5 stars
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
I’ve been in hiding for four years. On the run from the man in whose bed I once slept. I saw something I shouldn’t have seen. Took something I shouldn’t have taken. And he’s just found me. But it’s no jut my safety I have to worry about. I have a little boy. His little boy. The secret baby of a Russian mobster. He told me in no uncertain terms that I am his. That we would be a family. But his uncle still wants me dead and I know the man who’s been hunting me is the only one who can keep us safe.
Before you can jump into His you need to read Mine. That one ended on a huge cliffhanger and His picks up right where it left off. I devoured this book. Dove into it the second it landed on my kindle and there are things in this book that I never ever saw coming. I loved it and it is a great conclusion to this series. You guys are going to root so hard for Lev and Kat and their son. You will also fall more in love with them and him if you weren’t already. Lev is bound and determined to protect his family and make it to where they can live together but they are one the run and threat after threat keeps popping up along with some things that will shocks you and have you saying heck yes. Thank you!!! This series is amazing. If you like them dark, and love spending time on the edge of your seat then you do not want to miss this one.
His starts off with a bang and the pace never lets up til the end, as Lev takes on his own family to keep Kat and Josh alive and safe. They go through equal parts pain, violence and blood to make it through to the other side. Revelations are dropped, new people come into their lives, and the love between Lev and Kat is tried and tested and only strengthened as each obstacle is overcome.
Ashleigh Zavarelli wrote one of my favorite dark series, The Boston Underworld series a few years ago. It features a mix of Irish and Russian mobsters and has stood the test of time and remains head and tails above anything else I’ve ever read in the dark romance genre. Collaborating with Natasha Knight has only enhanced Ashleigh’s already superb take on Mafia love. It even features a few of the same characters (Alexei and his wife from Ghost) and has now cemented itself on my short favorites shelf. Lev, Kat, Josh, Gleb, Maxim, Pasha, Dima, and the rest of their crew’s story is suspenseful, emotionally complex, and gritty. If you haven’t read it yet, go out and download it right freakin’ now! You’ll for sure fall in love with this dark tale of love and betrayal, Vory style.
Thank goodness His picked up right at the scream-worthy intense cliff hanger that book one ended with! I have been biting my nails waiting for the rest of the story to unfold and luckily Natasha Knight and A. Zavarelli did not disappoint! I loved Lev and Kat in book one, the instant connection was obvious and the anxious feeling of what will happen when Lev finds her kept me hooked but His goes even further showing how Lev will sacrifice everything for his newfound family.
His is fast paced, gritty and unpredictable as Lev and Kat constantly look over their shoulder trying to stay one step ahead of his uncle. So many truths are uncovered that it will leave your head spinning with how everything is connected. Lev finds alliances in surprising places, which had me letting my guard down and expecting an easy happy ending; I should have known better. It cannot be a good mafia romance with a sweet happy ending; Lev and Kat had to fight, struggle and sacrifice to get what they wanted! I absolutely loved that this book could be dark and Lev was a true alpha, but the love and devotion he showed Kat and Josh was all over everything he did in this story!
His is one of my most anticipated books of this month, and once more, the duo of authors Natasha Knight and Ashleigh Zavarelli didn’t disappoint.
The story starts off where Mine left us, with that maddening cliffhanger. From then and until the end, it propulsed the reader into an exciting race where the tension completely enthralled me.
Lev, more protective than ever will make you swoon, while the brave Kat will fight for her family, a strong and skillfully handled topic of this series. And let me tell you, little Josh is just adorable! The building of the relationship between Lev and Kat had the anticipation sending sparks.
I fanned myself when their desire burnt. I cringed and felt anxious all along as the menaces and threats arose. And I was excited with the revelations!
Fast paced, passionate, at turns sweet and tender, or tense and violent, His beautifully concluded the Ties That Bind Duet.
I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ARC COPY OF THIS BOOK. THANK YOU!!!
I’ve been waiting on this book and even though it took me 1 day to read it has took me a few to wrap my head around trying to write a review worth this duets weight in gold!!! And I finally just gave up one because I’m sick and been sick with pneumonia on top of my MS/FIBRO so I’m not going to come up with the right words. But I’m going to try, the first book leaves you hanging and you are left gasping for breath and it seems like through this book you never fully catch it. Oh but the thrill of that rush!!! And the way that Lev is with every single thing is just absolute perfection and bada**ery!!! And how strong Kat proves to be just shows that she is HIS equal in every way and I love all of it!!! I cannot stress enough how much I recommend you read this duet!!! – By Tina
HIS: Book Two in The Ties that Bind Duet
Blurb:
I’ve been in hiding for four years. On the run from the man in whose bed I once slept.
I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.
Took something I shouldn’t have taken.
And he’s just found me.
But it’s not just my safety I have to worry about. I have a little boy. His little boy. The secret baby of a Russian mobster.
He told me in no uncertain terms that I’m his. That we would be a family.
But his uncle still wants me dead and I know the man who’s been hunting me is the only one who can keep us safe.
The second book continues where we left off at Mine.
Let me tell you, Ashley and Natasha know what they are doing.
The plot is eventful and interesting, there is no dull moment throughout the story.
Steaming hot, romantic, suspenseful scenes which make you want to read it fast but no!!! I don’t want it to end…make up your mind G-d damnit
Lev, the mafioso, the fighter, the unforgiving asshole becomes a big marshmallow when it comes to Josh and Kat, but the monster within is lurking and wants to come out and play, and boy, did it play.
Kat the loving mother, the protector, is smart. She has good instincts but girl!!! Why do you always have to do the opposite?!
“Despite all the shit happening around us, we still have each other. And I know now that she will fight for that.”
In His Kat learns about her past and her present while she and Lev are trying to find their way into the future.
How do you tread through the past without poking the sleeping bear? How do you protect your own without running away?
“I’m in this now. Don’t you understand? I’ve left everything behind. I betrayed my blood.
The monsters in this book are…. I just wanted them to die already… die!!!!! What vile creatures are capable of these acts!!! I’m mad for both Lev& Kat. Sorry for the outburst back to business
The only issue I had was that I felt as if Lev became too soft sometimes for my liking… I know he can’t stay an asshole forever but I wanted him to.
“You’re perfect, you know that?” he asks “Perfect for me.”
I loved this duet, and thank you A.Zavarelli and Natasha Knight for co-writing this story of Lev and Kat.
HIS releases on April 21, 2020
** Disclaimer- I got an ARC for an honest review **
A thrilling and breathtaking conclusion to this duet, full of suspense, deceit and violence, it’s non-stop action from start to finish and will keep you on your toes as the puzzle pieces fall into place.
Lev wants out of the mafia with Kat and their son Josh, but his Uncle wants him dead, and so they are on the run. Lev has his work cut out for him trying to keep his little family safe as Kat has not been brought up in this lifestyle and does not quite understand just how much danger they are in.
Lev tracks down an old friend he thought was dead, who helps him work out just what the connection is with Kat and his Uncle, but violence and his Uncle’s men are not far behind him. Family secrets are uncovered that could change their whole life.
Family is everything and Lev is the alpha protective male trying his best to keep them that way, while Kat shows how brave and strong she can be now her life is surrounded by violence and the mafia, keeping strong for her son Josh. She has some very violent and heartbreaking scenes in this one!
A brilliant conclusion to this duet, that answers all the questions and rounds everything off nicely, but has kept you on edge all the way through reading and watching the secrets unfold. Well worth the read.
The puzzle is finally complete.
The truth finally comes out, but not without its drama or danger. It’s a fight until the very end.
Each and every page of this book is action packed. Your heart feels like it’s going to pound right out of your chest.
HIS is a roller coaster ride of emotions that will leave your head spinning.
This is the conclusion to the duet we’ve been awaiting. Mine was brilliant, left me hanging, needing to know what was next.
HIS was everything we needed. A fabulous collaboration between Natasha and Ashleigh.
The story is taken to another level during HIS.
Lev & Kat know this isn’t going to end well….But for who?
Lev is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep his family safe. Some twists in this one you don’t see coming making for great reading.
All the feels with the angst, heat & drama, an emotional rollercoaster
4.5-stars
I could not wait to see how this story would end and was excited when His landed on my Kindle. Natasha Knight and A. Zavarelli are amazing authors on their own and yet together, they blew me away. There is danger everywhere, but Lev knows he wants Kat and his child in his life. But what does that means to his life? He is to protect his “family” above all, but now he has a more personal family. Who can they trust?
The chemistry between Lev and Kat is undeniable and intense. He is all alpha and protector. Kat has to make choices, but Lev will not let them go. The story was steamy and full of suspense and I loved it. Could not stop reading it.
Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
Happy reading.
AHHHH!! I have been so consumed with Natasha Knight and A. Zavarelli’s Ties That Bind series. Kat and Lev are absolutely delicious and just a phenomenal addiction. I loved the pure adrenaline ride of His, the conclusion to this duet. I loved the connection between Kat and Lev and all the shocking secrets and lies and twists and turns at every corner. I loved every minute of it!!
This story picks up right at the shocking cliffy at book one. Now Kat and Lev must stay one step ahead of their enemies and try to outthink and outmaneuver the ones out to get them. I loved this story as it was still edgy and unpredictable but showcased Lev’s growing feelings for Kat and their child. He was still dominant and alpha but was 1000% committed to his family. Overall, I loved their connection and Lev’s protective nature. What an amazing story! 5 stars! ~Ratula
His (Ties That Bind#2) by Natasha Knight & A. Zavarelli wrote a killer conclusion to a really good story. Lev is trying to find a way to keep his family alive and safe from his uncle. He also wants to avenge his mother’s murder. The road to safety is one of discovering old secrets and old acquaintances. The journey is long, bloody and deadly. Throughout their journey the relationship between Lev, Kat and his son grows and grows. There were lows and highs. This story had me salivating from the beginning to the end. From place to place Lev is able to put all the pieces together which he hopes will keep his family safe. By the end of this story I was truly entertained and satisfied. Yes a great ending to this story with a happily ever after. 5 stars
Ugh my heart is still racing from the intensity weaving in and out of this story. Plan for a continual shot of adrenaline as you experience part two of Kat and Lev’s story.
Lev is still one dark dude which as you get more of the details of his horrible extended family, well it explains a lot. As he falls more in love with his instantaneous family, my heart can do nothing but melt. He definitely pushes the limits with his eye widening, jaw dropping, no you didn’t, sex scenes with Kat. Whoo whee, not for the faint of heart. Don’t judge me, I liked it. (snicker, snicker)
Kat, drove me a little crazy. I kept wanting to ask how she managed to keep her and her son alive without Lev around. Her choices didn’t appear to be because of fearlessness. She just seemed oblivious which was MORE THAN surprising considering who was after them and what had already happened. Eeeekkkk! Yes that is me wanting to yell at her.
This story excels at the angst and dark moments. Also as I have already eluded to, it is mind blowing hot as well. I always love the fantasy of dark romance.
I think I give pause to some of the believability in the later part of this story. Sometimes the resolution of violence and injury is way to quick. I won’t say anymore about the details because this is a spoiler free review. Truthfully it is probably just me since my son experience something similar. Wink. You have to read it to understand.
Anyway overall this is an awesome book with all the suspense and romance appropriate to this genre. Happy Reading Everyone!!!
The conclusion to this duet by A. Zavarelli and Natasha Knight is one that will have you hooked. This fast-pace, action packed story will have you on such a high. The amazing duo of Zavarelli and Knight penned an epic mafia romantic suspense. Lev and Kat will take you on a rollercoaster ride of all the feels. You will be on the edge of your seat watching Lev and Kat’s world unfold and be on such an adrenaline rush. This duet is not to be missed!
Bound By Love
The dramatic conclusion to the Ties That Bind duet delivers revenge and new beginnings that will leave you satisfied!
Lev loves Kat and his son and he’ll stop at nothing to protect them and destroy any threat. He has his work cut out for him because Kat’s impulsive decisions may just get her killed. She was not raised in the mafia life, so her learning curve us steep and not withiut bloodshed.
Secrets will unfold as they take it on the run to get what they need to start over. Lev will finally find out the truth about his family. Kat will make a discovery that will change everything. Through it all, their love will grow and they’ll become a family.
The mafia life is not what Kat wants, but starting over will mean eliminating all the ghosts from their past. It’s going to get messy.
This story delivered the drama, and a family whose loyalty comes without limits. It’s mafia romance suspense that brings the heat and a sweet HEA.
