When Alyssa Moriani loses her father, she’s faced with an impossible choice: fulfil her father’s last wish and marry Daniel Devereaux, her best friend’s older brother… or lose her father’s company to the one person that’ll burn everything she’s worked for to the ground.Her marriage to Daniel was never meant to be more than a business arrangement. They were never meant to be so perfect together, … perfect together, and they were definitely never meant to fall in love.
After all, they started their marriage with an end date in sight.
Author’s Note: Full length novel with a guaranteed happily ever after. This book contains steamy scenes and an alpha-hole hero.

I can’t say enough about this book, it’s my favorite ever! I LOVED every single moment of The Tie that Binds. What a great debut novel for Catharina Maura, I’m really a big fan.
I enjoyed everything in the book: the characters, the plot, the emotions and the way the story was written. It’s a beautiful marriage of convenience story (my favorite trope!) but so original, not clitché at all. I literally fell in love with the hero, Daniel. It has some really hot scenes but I just loooove the way the heroine, Alyssa, slowly but surely falls hard for him. Daniel has been adoring her secretly forever and it’s sooooo exciting to see how Alyssa develops deep love for him and they finally get their HEA. I just want to keep reading about them 🙂
I definitely recommend this book and look forward to everything this author writes in the future.
Shocked , surprised and amazed, not often a new author gets to wow me. the book is on tHe longer side and only written from Alyssa’s POV, I understand that the author felt the book would have been to long, and the author has plans to release a book from Daniel’s POV, but it won’t be the same as a dual POV in the book. I hope that the author learns how to incorporate both POV’s in future books. That being said and really my only problem with the book. I still give it 5 stars for managing to capture my attention and drawing me in. The characters are well written with depth and growth through out the book, and emotions, heartbreak, love and chemistry portrayed in the book was palpable. An absolute must read.

This is my first time reading this author and this is a great book to be introduced to her work. It’s written from the main female’s point of view; this can sometimes mean it’s difficult to really get to grips with the other characters. However, in this book the author has done a brilliant job and I felt connected to the other characters and the single point of view works amazingly well. I loved the blurb and the book lived up to my expectations – a superb book.

No spoilers and read the summary to find out what the books is about…
I was unsure going into this although I typically enjoy arranged marriage/marriage of convenience troupe; however, I am not a fan of age gap books. This book is also told from the Heroine’s point of view only. Oh, and it’s her first book but I kept an open mind.
I was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, so surprised that I’m not sure I can give it a proper review. It just has to be read to understand. Even though it’s told from the Heroine’s POV only, you get a good understanding and feel for all of the characters and enjoy this story.
I definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more from her.

So totally loved this story from beginning to end. It is well written and it flowed nicely from the first page to the last. Alyssa is such a strong young woman who isn’t scared to try to stick up for what she thinks she wants. Daniel is a strong man who is shy and vulnerable. The interactions between Alyssa and Daniel are either really sweet and romantic or wild and passionate. There was enough times in this novel that made me go “awwww” as well pas those panty-melting moments when the scenes are steamy. Though I almost wish Daniel was emotionally stronger, it works in this story but the love he has for Alyssa is so heart-meltingly sweet. I highly recommend that this book be in everyone’s library as it will definitely be one of those books I will always re-read!

This is a new to me author and I was not disappointed. I could not put the book down once I started it. The story and the characters were wonderful.

Love this story!!
I have never read anything from this author before and if this book is any indication of the way she writes all her books, then I am all in. Great characters, great chemistry and amazing sex!!! One click!!
It was an okay story. I’ve never liked “romance” novels where the guy in the story is a real jacka55 and then becomes the hero who is loving and considerate or the woman who puts up with it. You would hope a strong woman who is successful wouldn’t put up with that kind of bull. But the books are always written lie that. Overall as I said it was okay.

There were times I enjoyed Alyssa and Daniel’s story but there were times I wanted to smack them both upside the head for running hot and cold. They needed to just sit down and have a real conversation with each other. Daniel’s revelation at the end was so heart felt but if he lead with that, they would have saved themselves a lot of heartache.
