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 … terms that I’m his. That we would be a family.
But his uncle still wants me dead and I know the man whose been hunting me is the only one who can keep us safe.

Yes, we get our happily ever after, but oh my word, at times this story was stark, angry, painful, and graphic. Kat and Lev have a long and painful path to traverse, and there are heartaches along the way, and injuries to be suffered. There are also loved ones remembered fondly, ties established and repaired, and a bright future. I was invested in the story from the first page until the last, not stopping until I knew it all. There was a lot to find out, a lot to go through, but Kat and Lev, and little Josh, rise up to the challenge, because their family, their love, is worth fighting the world for!
The conclusion to Lev and Kat’s story, it sure didn’t disappoint, once I started it I couldn’t stop until I read ‘The End’. I had a lot of questions at the end of ‘Mine’, and this picked right up perfectly with the unfinished business and betrayal at the forefront. Some of the questions are answered but even more arise as the pieces of the past slide into place. There are a few a-ha moments when we get tidbits that we didn’t see coming. Add it all together and this is, without question, an enjoyable read. If you like mafia alpha-holes and strong, independent women, you’ll like this duet for sure.
This book, entitled His, is the second part of a duet. The first book is named Mine. Together they are called The Ties that Bind.
Now, let me say at the outset that the two authors of this duet have long been favorites of mine. I first discovered Natasha Knight in her Benedetti Crime Family series (incredible writing), and I found Ashleigh Zavarelli through her Boston Underworld series (another incredible series of books). Imagine my happiness at finding out that these two powerhouse authors worked together! Wow… and I wasn’t in the least bit disappointed. They can weave wonderful stories on their own and together they created a fascinating world, peopled by believable characters and a plot so well devised, so well written, that I found myself completely engrossed in this story.
Lev and Kat, along with Josh, Gleb, Maxim and a few others take the reader on a wild and exciting ride through sometimes very dangerous territories. The villains are truly despicable and frightening, and the plot twists are exceptional in their unexpectedness. This was such a good story. One I hated to see end. This duet will be added to my reread list, that’s for sure.
If you enjoy the excitement of mafia romance, if you like some darkness sprinkled in the light, and if you want mysteries being slowly revealed, then this is the story for you. Highly recommended.
Phenomenal conclusion to Kat and Lev
This series absolutely floored meOne minute I was so anxious and jittery and the next I was swooning like a fool……my emotions took the full spectrum roller coaster ride but Kat and Lev’s story was EVERYTHING and so worth it
Picking up from where the first book leaves us, it’s more action and more suspense and a few bombshells that get dropped too This book will keep you on your toes and now leaves me hanging with one question……will these authors team up again? Man, I hope so
I received an advanced copy and I voluntarily leave my honest review
An Outstanding And Perfect Ending! Levka “Lev” Antonov and Katerina Blake are back in this delicious second part of the ties that bind duet. When you’re in the Russian Bratva can you ever truly be safe from harm? This begins with a bang and doesn’t let go until the very end. Full of action, suspense and all the chemistry to make you melt! What truths will be unleashed? Will Lev protect what’s his and come out on top? Absolutely loved every minute of this book! Oh and more cameos that will have you smiling from ear to ear! This is an Epic Mafia Romance that will have you swooning for Lev! Lev and Kat are perfection together. Told in dual POV
These two authors who collaborated on the duet continue to blow me away with their words. HIS is the perfect ending to this duet. My heart melted, broke, was put back together and I fell even more in love with Lev and Kat. When an author(s) can make me feel the emotions that these characters did down to my very soul, just proves how incredible they are. Kat goes thru quite a bit in this yet she continually proves to be such an incredible woman and mother. And Lev is there for her to pick up the pieces and put them back together. Keep in mind, there were times that I held my breath and even cringed a bit, but that just proves to me, again, how incredible this story is. It takes you on a dark and twisty path and you just have to hope that there is light at the end. When I started this book, I knew I couldn’t put it down until I was finished, and that is exactly what I did. I am in awe of these two authors and hope they write more books together. If you are looking for a great duet to read, then please, do yourself a favor and read the Ties That Bind duet. It is true writing brilliance!
