Chelle and Eden have done it again! After reading Nailed Down and briefly meeting Kiel, I was really looking forward to reading his story. It did not disappoint! Oh my gosh! I don’t even know how to put it into words. Talk about a HOT enemies to lovers romance. Wow!! I freaking loved Kane in Nailed Down but Kiel takes the cake! I loved everything about him. He’s sexy, funny, and has a dirty mouth.
I promise that if you enjoyed Nailed Down, you’ll love Tied Down! I read this book in two hours, I could not put it down.
Terrific!
What an exciting read! Hot and steamy kept me riveted until the very end! These authors knocked it out of the park with Kiel and Cara’s story!!!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Cara Carelli is a silver-tongued mafia princess, master manipulator, and the only woman I have ever loved. But she’s also smokin’ hot, sinfully, sexy and my ex-wife. When Cara led me straight into a trap and pleaded for my help, I couldn’t say no. She thought she had the upper hand, but this time, I was in control and planned to make her beg. They say all’s fair in love and war and turnabout’s fair play, but what starts out as a wickedly seductive play turns into a twisted game of the heart.
Tied Down is the second book in Chelle Bliss and Eden Butlers Nailed Down Series. This book can be read as a standalone. However I highly recommend that you read the first book too. It is absolutely amazing.
Keil is a writer and has always dreamed of a job with a popular newspaper. He went to college in New York and even did his internship there which lead to him meeting and falling in love and marrying Cara. However, these two never should have married because of her mafia ties and her father’s wishes so when they are about to be found out, Cara claims that Keil is her stalker and her brother beats the message into him that he should leave his sister alone. Broken, and beaten nearly to death Keil hops the first plane back to Seattle and his brother and hasn’t looked back. Then the dream job, the once in a life time offer comes in. He should have known something was up. He sensed it but it was his dream. However after landing in New York and thinking he was picking up the sexy girl from the plane for a quicky in the airport, he is met face on with is past. Cara and she needs his help. She is desperate for it and offers him a huge sum of money and the dream job to tell her father he is her husband so she will not have to marry the man that her father wants. Nope not having it and thus the journey of these two firey characters begins. Their story will have you one the edge of your seat and you heart beating out of your chest. I loved every single second of it and as a fan of second chance romances this one hit the spot. I loved these characters but most of all I loved the changes in Keil and it did not take Cara long to realize he wasn’t the man he was all those years ago and she couldn’t manipulate him. You need to read this book. It is just as good as the first. I can not wait to see what these two author’s come up with next in the series.
What happens to you when you let a mafia princess you escaped in the past bring you back because she is your wife. It is just a piece of paper….Right? Will my Find out what lengths he will go to save his family, even when that word has been thrown in his face.
This is a page turning story, that you just won’t be able to get enough of. It is the perfect amount of sassy, sexy and suspense.
Wow and all that good stuff. I totally loved Kane, but I gotta say Kiel may have edged him out a bit. He’s a total bad a**, giving his all to a woman who may not have totally deserved it (at first, though I still may have a little grudge against her lol). He got his licks in, then became a real man, an awesome one at that. What can I say, I just totally fell for him and all his hotness. And intenseness. And sexiness. And when it came right down to it, loyalty and love. There was also lots of action going on, and danger. And once again, Eden and Chelle wrote a book you just can’t put down! I hope there’s more to come from these two amazing authors!!
Cara is a mafia princess who needs a HUGE favor from her ex. That ex is Kiel and he has been trying to forget how she betrayed him and threw him to the wolves. Their story is fast-paced and packed full of action, steam and alpha men (yes, more than one) who are determined to protect their friends and family. I loved this book!
This is the second book in this series, however, it can absolutely be read on a stand alone basis.
Tied Down is quite a quick read and on that basis, I didn’t feel that we really delved that deep into the characters, however, I did really enjoy it. Tied Down a real page turner, the story flows well and it’s fast paced and had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Of course, this book has some real hot sexy times, but the story itself is suspenseful and engaging.
Overall a solid read and I really look forward to more from this series.
I was provided with a copy of this book from the Publisher; there was no inducement or obligation and I have opted to leave a review.
This was a great read!!! Kiel and Cara were so good together once they got over the hurt and anger. Family protects family. It has all the elements chemistry, action, hot scenes and HEA.
I enjoyed Tied Down very much.
Filled with action,drama and some mafia!
Kiel is an interesting character.
He’s sexy,smart and happy go lucky.
There’s just one incident,which was really bad,that he can’t let go of.
So when the woman responsible for that incident comes barreling back into his life asking for help
he’s torn.
Cara is a mafia princess,she’s not one of the other princesses who isn’t let into the family business. She knows exactly what her family does. She strong and assertive and for me she was cruel.
Circumstances has her needing Kiel’s help. She needs to convince him that her future hangs in the balance.
Their encounters are volatile. Be it their arguments or their sex. Everything is explosions with them.
Fast paced and moved smoothly.
Johnny,Cara’s brother and a secondary character has me intrigued and wanting to know more about him!
Kudos ladies to a fantastic addition to the Nailed Down series.
This book was fast paced, sexy, suspenseful, and kept me turning the pages as fast as I could! I loved it!
I have been eagerly anticipating Kiel’s story. I wanted to hate Cara for what she did in the past but I ended up liking and respecting her. What they lived through was intense, but it helped them put things in perspective and find their way back to each other. Kiel is hot and the chemistry he has with Cara is powerful. I can’t wait to see if Johnny gets a story, would love to see him gets his HEA with Sammy.
Hot & Exciting! Tied Down had me on the edge of my seat right from the beginning. So Good So Suspenseful and So Sexy! Kiel is a Journalist but don’t assume he’s a softie, Oh No this man is domineering, protective and captivating. Cara is Kiel’s estranged wife. She’s a city girl with mafia ties and very strong minded. I love the “hate and angry” relationship that Kiel and Cara have towards one another when they are first reunited. It’s cold and cruel and it caused me to cringe at some of the things that Kiel and Cara say to one another, but you can sense that they do this because they are hurt and there is still an attraction and deep love for each other. As the story unfolds, Kiel falls deeper into Cara’s world and things get intense and dangerous. So thrilling and so passionate as Kiel and Cara get closer to one another. To me, this is also where Kiel solidifies himself as an UBER-ALPHA!
Tied Down had me glued to the pages and not just because of Kiel and Cara but the other characters whose backstories has me so intrigued that even though Tied Down is an HAE I feel like I need to know what happens with the other characters. I am obsessed. I want more.
I love the collaboration of these two authors the story flows so smoothly and the storytelling is so vivid. It is addicting. I love this Book!
Kiel and Cara….finally! I fell in love with Kiel in Nailed Down and was blown away to find out he was married to the Mob, well Mob Princess!
Chelle brings us an entertaining, action-filled tale of romance and rediscovery. From the East Coast to the West, Kiel and Cara are in for the ride of a lifetime, that ultimately brings us Forever. Through their story, we get more of Dale and Gin (from Nailed Down) and introduced to Johnny…..delizioso!
While this is a HAE, I want MORE!!!
I loved Kiel and Cara’s story! It had a lot more action than the 1st book, back and forth angst, and sexiness. There were some new interesting characters you’ll want more of and we got a little more from Kane and Kit.
Tied Down is so hot and fast paced. Kiel and Cara are married but haven’t seen each other in 5 years. After what Cara did he wanted to stay as far away as possible. Then one day out of desperation she pulls him back into her world. With everything in their past can they make it work. Grab this book and find out for yourself.
Kiel Kaino and Cara Carelli
Kiel, a journalist and Cara, his estranged wife of 5 years, are reunited, when he returns to New York, under the pretence of a position for the job if his dreams.
When, Kiel arrives at the airport, he thinks he’s hooking up with a hit piece of a$&. Turns out, it’s Cara, who orchestrated the whole thing. Oh the job was real, but, Cara was desperate for Kiel’s help, she was willing to go to drastic lengths.
There is a lot of anger and resentment that Kiel, has toward, Cara, due to lies she told years earlier, which in turn had gotten him beaten to within an inch of his life. Kiel, had once loved, Cara, very much, enough to marry her. Is that love strong enough to get him to come to terms with the past and move forward, and help Cara.
Tied Down is the second book in the Nailed Down Series, another 5 star book for Chelle and Eden, and I’m looking forward to future books in this series.
I loved Kiel in Nailed Down and was happy that he was getting his own book! Tied Down was so good! It might be my favorite in the series!! Kiel was sexy and all alpha! I loved Cara! Kiel and Cara had amazing chemistry and those sexy scenes were scorching!! This book was full of suspense, angst and sexiness!! Oh and I need a book about Johnny!!! This is a must read series!
Kiel and Cara’s story had the perfect blend of sexiness suspense and angst. It kept me hooked from the first page. I loved how even though Cara had somewhat betrayed Kiel he couldn’t stop loving her no matter how much he tried to tell himself he hated her. I’m not going to go into anymore detail about what happened between them you need to read this book to find that out for yourselves and trust me it’s worth finding out. I loved the side characters in this book and am hoping they will get a book of there own. while I hadn’t read the first book in this series about Kiel’s brother it’s definitely left me wanting to go back and read Kane and Kit’s story. overall this book is definitely a must read.
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Kiel’s book as he was one of my favorite characters in Nailed Down. Eden Butler and Chelle Bliss exceeded my expectations and Tied Down is fantastic!!! It is quite the page turner and I didn’t want it to end. Kiel’s sexy, alpha and domineering persona is extremely appealing and attractive. Kiel and Cara are ex-lovers and initially I wasn’t to fond of Cara due to what she did to Kiel and the way she ended the relationship. Cara is feisty, persistent, she grew on me and I loved her.
Tied Down is fast paced, thrilling and action packed. It’s well written, very addicting and I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation waiting to read what was going to happen next. The storyline is engaging with a lot of hot and steamy sexy times. Kiel and Cara’s romantic connection, solid attraction and sexual chemistry is on FIRE!!! Their love/hate relationship makes for a very interesting and sometimes comical read. Both authors did a great job of demonstrating that Kiel and Cara’s underlying attraction and intense love for each other has always remained.
I highly recommend reading Tied Down. Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler are a talented writing duo and I am certainly looking forward to reading more books from them.
Kiel and Cara are bound by the past but it’s going to take some serious forgive forget and fighting to get a shot at their forever. Kiel left NY years again literally and figuratively a broken man after the Carelli family made their point with their fist. Getting involved with their golden princess of daughter was never going to end well but he was cocky young and stupid, and it also didn’t help that his loving life sold him down the river. Now he back in NY for work he was hoping he could avoid the whole motley crew, but if wishes were horses… Cara knew she made a mistake when she lied to her family all those years ago leading to Kiel’s banishment, but ultimately it was for the best. Now she needs her husbands help to keep her from an arranged marriage and this life she has been groomed for. Convincing Kiel to trust her will be easier said than done, but if she knows anything it’s how to light him on fire.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book.
