A review by kara_hildebrand
Tied Bond by Emma Hart

5.0

The more this series goes on the more I fall in love with these characters and this author. Tied Bond is book 4 in the Holly Woods Files series. Emma continues to deliver the humor, sass, sexiness, craziness, suspense and la familia we've expected from her. Noelle and Drake are now in a committed relationship, but that hasn't stopped their fighting, yelling, or threatening each other. I always forget how much I love this couple when I'm not reading about them. Drake might be the sexiest cop in the history of books. And, Noelle is funny, crazy, good at her job and perfect for Drake. This time around Drake's mom is the one in the hot seat. Drake can't work her case, but Noelle was asked to help prove her innocence, but she isn't supposed to tell him. She doesn't want to keep it from him which means she's growing up and loving Drake has shown her that she doesn't want to lie to him. But she wants to help his mom and either way he's going to be hurt. There are twists and turns to this story and lots of things happening. Jason? Hello, handsome! One of the reasons I love Drake so much is because he's not afraid to tell it like it is. He loves her, he tells her. He wants more, he asks for more. Even though he knows she's going to freak, he goes out on a limb. Only for her. When secrets come out, will Drake and Noelle be together on the other side? Will Nonna finally make everyone crazy? I've never wanted a series to come out all at the same time before. I just want more!

"I'm always perving on you. It's like my own personal hobby."
"It's scary."
"Suck it up, cupcake. I can perv on you if I want to. I'm your lover."

"I look at you and know I'm crazy. But also know that I'm the luckiest son of a bitch in this town, because I get to wake up at four a.m. to find you sitting in my kitchen with your hair a mess and your makeup smudged, still looking totally fucking beautiful."

"You can pay me in, 'shut the fuck up, you cocky bastard'"
"I'm not aware of that currency. I'm sorry."
