~ Synopsis ~
Detective Drake Nash: hot, alpha, bossy,
and… mine.
Now, if someone could tell his ex that... I
don’t care if the summer fayre is coming to Holly Woods and she’s on the
planning committee. What I do care about is sugar-filled food, bright lights,
late nights… and danger. The type that won’t come in the form of Nonna’s new
cantankerous British parrot, Gio. (Please see the damage done to Mom’s new
curtains.)
Unfortunately, when the danger comes, it comes
in the form of something Holly Woods has never seen. The town is rocked to its
core, and once again, I’m in danger. Only this time, it isn’t because of my
clients—this time, I’m in danger because of who I am… Because of my heritage.
And despite the HWPD’s best efforts, the bodies
keep on piling up.
Drake’s determined to protect me. I’m determined
that I can do it myself.
Danger. Mystery. Darkness. Malice.
It’ll be a miracle if any of us make it out of
this with guns unfired, cupcakes still frosted, and hearts intact…

~ Review ~
“Dinner’s cold,” I
mumble against him.
“Don’t care.” The smile
is gone, and there’s nothing but his kiss.
It consumes me. It
always does. It’s like a hurricane and a tornado swirling inside me, washing
through me like a tsunami. All sugar obsessions aside, I’ve never been truly
addicted to anything.
If I had to pick one
thing to be addicted to for the rest of my life, it’d be his kiss.
He grabs my thighs and
hoists me onto the counter. I scream at the suddenness of the movement, and my
hand hits my glass. It goes flying off the counter and lands on the floor with
a smash, water and glass shards spreading across the floor.
Drake stills, stares at
me for a second, then looks at the mess. His erection is pressing into my
thigh, and I can see he’s weighing his options.
Clean or sex?
He wraps his arms around
my waist and hauls me onto his shoulder.
Fuck. Holy fuck.
Instead of screaming, I
laugh. I have no idea what else I’m supposed to do, really.
“And the mess?” I ask.
“You can clean it up
later,” he answers, carrying me upstairs.
“That’s the first time
you’ve ever left a mess anywhere.”
Unlike me. He’s the
sponge to my dirt.
“What can I say?” He
drops me onto his bed and leans over me, his eyes glinting devilishly in the
lower light of his bedroom. “I’m stressed the fuck out, and if it’s between
cleaning a smashed glass or being inside you, I know which one I’d rather
pick.”
Heat coils in my lower
stomach, settling into a throbbing ache I feel right through my pussy. I curl
my fingers around the collar of his shirt and pull his face down to mine.
“Fine.” I pull his face
down to mine. “But if you’re stressed, then we do it my way.”
He can’t say a word as I
wrap my legs around his waist and use all of my strength to drag him over onto
the bed. He laughs as I land on top of him, grinning, and straddle him.
“All right,” he agrees,
sliding his hands up my legs. One stops on my butt, but the other trails all
the way up my spine until his fingers are buried deep in my hair. He eases my
face down to his and our lips come together easily, finding each other’s
without as much as a second thought.
“Right,” I say, sitting
up. “Roll over. Massage time.”
Drake stops. His cock is
pushing right against my wet pussy through my panties, and I’m certain I’m
flushed, but I do my best to keep a straight face. He yanks my dress up and his
palm connects with my ass. I half gasp, half scream as he throws me off him,
onto my back, and covers my body with his.
His eyes burn hotly,
sending desire flooding through my body at lightning speed. His hands find
mine, our fingers linking together, and he pins them above my head. I smile
coyly, dragging my bottom lip between my teeth.
He says only three
words.
“Fuck the massage.”
And fuck the massage he
does.
His assault on my mouth
is greedy. Every kiss is deeper and harder than the last, and I revel in each
one. I didn’t know how much I needed him, how much he needed me, until right
this second when the promise of each other is within touching distance.
The way he undresses us
both is hurried, every item of clothing being thrown to a heap on the floor.
Each touch we share is a blazing inferno that sets sparks flying across my
skin, and the desperate way he plays my naked body until he teases my wet pussy
with the head of his hard cock is almost cruel yet exciting.
When it gets to be too
much, when I can’t take any more, I tilt my hips up.
He pushes inside me in
one thrust, every single one of my nerves tingling in delight.
And he shows me exactly
what he thinks of my fucking massage.

~ Review ~
More Drake & Noelle….yes please. This is shaping up to be
my favorite series from Emma Hart and it is because of the characters and
storyline as a whole and not just for Drake & Noelle.
Tethered Bond is the 3rd installment in this series and must be read in order to fully understand the Bond/Nash dynamic. They are most certainly a force to be reckoned with.
Once again I was smitten with Drake and his adoration for his “crazy” Noelle. I get such visual images in reading the interaction between Drake and Noelle that it makes the book even more enjoyable. That smirk……swoon!
Noelle….well she’s as strong headed and stubborn as ever but has started to realize that she may more than “like” Detective Nash. Her internal conversations regarding what she should and should not do when it comes to Drake are funny as hell.
This time around the Holly Woods PD has a string of missing girls that turn up dead all while the town is supposed to be celebrating the town fair. There will be more suspense and intrigue. Drake and Noelle once again struggle to find balance between the job and their relationship finding that the lines still blur.
There will be cupcakes….and lots of them. There will be angst, mystery, flirtation and of course some steamy sex. We of course catch up with the rest of the Bond family and Nonna. Oh, Nonna and her new companion were such a riot! It was almost as if he was there just to add friction to the already strained relationships that Nonna had within the family. But at the end of the day, they all love one another.
If you are new to Emma’s work this is a great series to start with. If you are new to this series….go now and 1-click while it is on sale. You won’t be disappointed. I for one am glad that there are three more books planned for this series.

See where it all began…….
Twisted Bond
(Holly Woods Files #1)
(Holly Woods Files #1)
~ Synopsis ~
I’m an Italian-Texan
woman in a family full of cops. I’m passionate and shoot before I think. You
only f*ck with me if you’re stupid.
Photograph cheating
spouses. Hand over the evidence. Cash my check.
That was my plan when I
returned home to Holly Woods, Texas, and became a private investigator.
Finding the dead body in
my dumpster? Yeah… Given the choice, I think I would have opted out of that
little discovery, especially since all three of my brothers are cops. And my
Italian grandmother is sure the reason I’m single is because of my job.
Of course, my connection
to the victim is entirely coincidental. Until I’m hired by her husband to
investigate her murder and shoved bang-smack into the path of Detective Drake
Nash.
My nemesis, a persistent
pain in my ass, and one hell of a sexy son of a bitch.
Shame he still holds a
grudge from that time I shot him in the foot twelve years ago, or we could have
something. In another life.
So now all I have to do
is avoid my nonna’s blind dates, try not to blackmail my brothers into giving
me confidential police files, and absolutely do not point my gun at Drake Nash.
Or kiss him. Or jump his bones.
All while I hunt down
the killer.
Sounds totally
simple—until a second body proves that sometimes things that start as
coincidences don’t always end up that way…
(Twisted Bond is book
one of the Holly Woods Files series and while it does not end in a cliffhanger,
it is not a standalone.)

Tangled Bond
(Holly Woods Files #2)
(Holly Woods Files #2)
~ Synopsis ~
One date with the
sexier-than-sin Detective Drake Nash. Simple.
Until you take into
account that my brother finally proposed to his girlfriend, so Nonna is on a
warpath—and the crazy old bat has Cupid by the balls.
The upcoming mayoral
elections has everyone running on full speed, and while I couldn’t give any
less craps about the corrupt Holly Woods mayor’s office, a dead body in the
middle of a campaign speech has me thrown right into the middle of it. The
victim is close to the mayor, but all he cares about is minimizing the damage
to his campaign, so he hires me to work alongside Drake to close the case as
quickly as possible.
Bad news for our
tentative relationship.
We disagree far more
than we agree, but being at loggerheads won’t get this murder solved… Or deal
with the arrival of someone from his past.
The mysteries behind the
murder aren’t the only things unraveling, and despite being knee-deep in lies
and corruption and bonds so tangled they’re almost indecipherable, I have to
figure out if I’m willing to fight for Drake the way I do justice…
Or if he’ll be my one
who gets away.
