This is the first book in the Highland Chance series. This is the story of Connor and Kate. This is a time travel type romance so be aware of that.

Kate is in the present day dying from Cancer and pretty much alone. She has never married. When Kate feels as if she is dying she ends up waking up in the past and is found by a Highlander named Connor who is also a respected Laird. Connor takes her to his mother to have her take care of Kate. Kate is quickly drawn to Connor and feels as she knows him. Connor starts to return her feelings but his ex-lover isn’t taking it to well and starts to cause problems for them both. Kate is now in danger due to this ex-lovers jealousy.

I really enjoyed this story of a girl getting a second chance at life and finding love in the process. I had trouble putting this book down. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Review:

This is my first S.R. Mitchell book and it won’t be my last.

This is the story of Eric and Kelly. The book grabs you from the start when she is running from an abusive boyfriend, were we first meet Eric when he comes to help her. Kelly wakes to find herself in Eric’s compound where she starts to realize that she is not just a witch but is a wolf as well and that Eric is her mate.

They have to deal with the drama of someone hurting their people and Kelly’s ex-boyfriend who is out to get her back.

Eric helps her through her first shift and ends up kidnapped by rogues. She finds her parents while being held captive and helps them escape the cells they are held in. Saved by her mate and her father, and learns her true healing strength.


I could not put this book down and I didn’t want it to end. I really want to know what happens next.

Book Review: The Ties That Bind by Cleo Scornavacca


Book Review: The Ties That Bind
Author: Cleo Scornavacca
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Createspace
Release Date: 8th July 2016
No. of pages: 550
ISBN: 978-1-53362-212-9
Rating: 5/5


Review:

Miss Taken is the third and final book in the Miss Taken Identity Series.

In The Ties That Bind it’s been a whole year since the kidnapping and Dominick and Rain are together and happy but all that's about to change when Dominick is arrested. Their future together hangs in the balance as they fight against their pasts but are they strong enough to come through it all and finally get their HEA or is it all about to be torn apart. 

I loved that we got to see both Rain and Dominic grow into their roles as parents. It was nice to see them go from flawed and sometimes misguided singles into a loving, married couple whose kids became their life/world. They would stop at nothing to protect them and I like that the author showcased that.

I did tear up a bit when it came to Tommy and Rain.

Overall this is a good read.
