Binding Ties
After a brutal and potentially fatal assault, Mia Tandy finds herself alone and abandoned by not only her true love Nicholas—but possibly the one who truly loves her, Dr. Xavier Young.
In an attempt to help her get her life together, her brother, Peter, and a silent partner set up a small café just for Mia … something she’s always dreamt of. Possibly giving her a new lease on life.
On the other side of town, Nicholas’ father, Reynold has plans of his own, trying to uncover a long lost secret that’s about to turn, not only his own world around, but causing a rippling effect that will touch Mia and his son Nicholas.
Mia, trying to stay away from the likes of that wealthy world and the negatives that come with it, once again has it all thrown right back in her path when Nicholas returns and the secrets that have been in the past are now in full view, confronting them all.
For both Nicholas and Mia, trying to keep away from each other is proving to be their biggest challenge yet. Once again, obstacles and social status are keeping them apart, but their love for each other is growing day by day.
Will their love be enough to get them through the torment, the lies and the challenges?

I was provided a copy of the book by the Author for an honest review.
I just finish reading this book, and I have to say that I love the series, even though this book got me so mad with the main characters, I felt like strangle them at time cause of the way they where acting, but once they got their act together I fell more in love with them, in this book they are so much drama going on, some heart breaking moment, and when they realized when they did something wrong and turned that around for the better, I am gone keep this short since I don't want to give anything away.
This book picks right up where the last book end it, in the last book Mia was attack and end up in the hospital, where Nicholas got her in one of the best room, and he did not move from her side, that's how Xavier found him and knew right away what to do, and also her father took her back home, once she was at her father house she found out that Nicholas was their to visit her, but what she was not expecting was for him to say goodbye to Mia, after that day Mia when back to her father house and told her brother to take her back home, the days pass by and she haven't heard from Xavier that's when her brother gave her the letter, Xavier also saying goodbye to her, the months pass by and Mia was getting her life right back on track, she got to open up the cafe shop that she wanted with her brother, on the mean time Nicholas was focusing on his work and wanted to get back home, once Mia and Nicholas got to see each other again they knew that their sparks where still their, will they finally give them self a chance to be happy.

***I received an arc in exchange for an honest review***
You must read the first book before, Majestic Pearls, before reading the second book, Binding Ties. It is a continuation of family secrets and the love story that develops despite family history. Binding Ties picks up right where the first book left off. Mia alone, Xavier and Nicolas both gone. Peter, her wonderful brother, helps her make her dreams come true and she opens up the cafe she always wanted to open. Things appear to be looking up for our Mia, and she truly does deserve to be happy. She's probably one of the sweetest main characters I have ever read. She's humble, down to Earth and frustratingly sweet.
Let's not forget the secret. I actually loved this part of the story more than the romance, I know, I'm weird. There's nothing better than a juicy family secret to intrigue this not so desperate housewife. You can't ignore the love story either. The two subplots are so intertwined, that made the book. What could be a story of your average girl falling for the wealthy guy was given a lift with the family secret twist. It added an element of suspense that will keep you reading.
The characters are endearing. Rosie is by far, my favorite. I bet her story alone could be a book. Mia and Nicholas are two of the most stubborn main characters I have ever read. You really get a feel for the internal struggles both of them go through throughout the book. The author does a fantastic job putting you in their head.
Wonderful series with the right combination of romance and mystery.

This book picks up right where Majestic Pearls leaves us. Mia leaves the hospital after being attacked, and comes home to find that Nicholas has moved away and so has Xavier. She finds herself with a wonderful new business opportunity, but is feeling very lonely. Nicholas finds it tough to stay away, but it seems there are too many barriers keeping he and Mia from being able to have a real relationship.
There is a soap opera level of drama going on through much of this book. Each character has multiple challenges, and there are a lot of reveals that cause additional drama. Mia is an easy character to like, and it is tough to see her face so many difficult situations where she is essentially not treated well. Nicholas is often frustrating, because it is clear that he wants to be with Mia, but he can't ever seem to really go after what he wants or fight for their relationship. I found the dialogue a bit choppy, but read the book straight through when I started because I was curious how things were going to turn out. The chemistry between Mia and Nicholas is strong, and I was really hoping that they would be able to deal with the adversity facing them and be honest with each other about what they both wanted.
