Ties That Bind by Katee Robert

5.0

I loved this first novella in Katee Robert's Hot in Hollywood Duet! There's something so wonderful about an A-list Hollywood director who isn't a total ass, and Jack is as straight-laced and swoon worthy as they come. When he gets black out drunk in Vegas and ends up married to an unknown woman, it's clear that foul play was involved. Enter Cora, who is an excellent leading lady up to the task of not only making sure Jack gets his divorce, but also finding her way back into his heart. I loved the little mystery in finding the truth about Jack's night in Vegas, and who doesn't love a little sordid Vegas tale, complete with drugs and wrongdoing. We get introduced to Brooklyn and Levi, who make an appearance as the lead couple in the next installment, and I loved Cora and Brooklyn's easy friendship. Some of my favorite scenes were of the two of them rehashing Cora's tendency to run away from the paparazzi-fest that surrounds being involved with Jack again. Okay, well my other favorite scenes are of Jack and Cora, because let me tell you- their chemistry if off-the-charts sizzling. Kate Robert writes incredibly moving and intimate love scenes, and this little novella is smoking hot.

In case it's not clear, I loved it from start to finish and couldn't wait to dive into the second installment, Animal Attraction!
