Stone: The Ties that Bind

Rate this book
I’m Special Agent Jackson Turner. Over eighteen years ago, my brothers Andrew and Sylvester were killed by Madison Stone and Joseph Shelton AKA Stone. Today, I’m breaking the law. I’m stalking my niece Alyssa and I’m planning a slow, painful death for her mother Madison.

But, during this planning, I came across some very disturbing information. Information that could change the course of my criminal behavior and convince me to save a family I was once set out to destroy. The truth leads me down a dark path of secrets, lies, deception and murder. Will I sacrifice avenging the death of my brothers to save Madison and her family?
Or will I destroy her?

Love will make everything right.....

Wow! This story is just like the others in this series. I love this series, it's the perfect stories on how love can conquer all. Stone: The Ties That Bind, is Jackson's story and it's about how he wants revenge, but when he start to realize things are not what they seem, he see everything in a new light.

This book is amazeballs, and it brings it all back from the last book. You MUST read the other books in this series, to understand what is going on.

Book three: Love Without Boundaries, left me in tears when Stone killed Andrew and was shot. Book 4: Ties That Bind begins by retelling the shooting scene and then the story actually begins eighteen years later. Special Agent Jackson Turner, Sylvester's brother and Alyssa's Uncle, has decided he still wants revenge on Madison but questions need to be answered first. The tightly wound plot that will take you literally through a plethora of emotions from beginning to end while each character you meet within the story will give you some type of visceral reaction. Angel Rose has far exceeded the definition of author, not only with this book, but with the series as a whole. If you haven't read it yet .. Don't deny yourself. And if you were left with a hole in your heart from book three, read on, you won't be disappointed.

(To think this series started with three stars from me and it just kept getting better. Persistence really does pay.)

This book has an engaging storyline, I couldn’t put the book down. There are plenty of twists and turns down this bumpy old road. So strap yourself in and hold on tight, because you are in for the ride of your lifetime. One warning first, be careful who you trust...things are never as they seem.

The Ties That Bind picks up eighteen years later. Special Agent Jackson Turner is still out for revenge. Just when Maddison, Daniel & Alyssa are learning to live with the loss of Stone. Jackson begins searching by requesting copies of his nieces birth certificate. What he discovered was even more confusing and his request created a chaos he could of never imagined.

This an amazing conclusion to a wonderful series. You will be glued to the pages. From the beginning to the end, your mind will race. What is going to happen? Will there be an HEA? I have loved this series from book 1. I am touched by how this ended, and Angel Rose has written a dark, romantic, suspenseful, thrilling journey that will have you reading it again and again. A must read.

I have not read any of the other books in this series so I was a little worried that I might feel a little lost reading this one and the answer to that is yes and no. I was not lost because I didn’t read the others. I was lost because the author twists and turns the story in so many directions that it keeps you guessing. I was wound up tight as I read this story. I found the characters and their trials to be riveting. the pages were practically turning themselves in my frenzied need to find out what was going on. The end result and message of love can conquer all was fantastically done. I enjoyed every moment of my time reading this story. Well worth the read. I plan on going back and reading the first three books in this series. If they are even half as good as this one they will also be worth my time.

Best series in suspense I've read so far! Fantastic!

After third book in series I was wondering why do we need another instalment, why? Just for Jackson to have his revenge, for Maddie to suffer even more in her life? Was it not enough what they went through? I was really close to not to read the fourth book. What a mistake that would be!
This is must read if you already went through the previous books. More mysteries to uncover, more suspense and all the unforeseen events and twists in the story line. One crazy roller-coaster ride.
I envy the author the capability to outline and to follow through so perfectly thought through story. Writing is great and connection to characters build by words is just instant.

I really didn't know what to expect when I started reading this book because I hadn't read any of the others in this series. I thought it was very will written and once I started I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed reading it and I'm now going back to read the first 3 books on this series and will most likely read this one again. If you like a book that grabs you from the beginning and you can't stop turning pages until the end, then I highly recommend you read this book!

Life and love with a twist

This series really caught me off guard in a good way. The heart loves who it wants no matter what. Just when you think their lives are so bleak and your heart is broken an amazing twist happens and your heart is beyond full again. Angel Rose I did not see that ending coming. Now I see the big picture. Readers please keep an open mind and you will be in for the surprise of a lifetime

Fantastic Series

The love and devotion this story was so heartwarming. They all fought individually for each other and their family. Stone going into witness protection and being away from the love of his life for 17 years. The reunion of them all getting back together and no longer having to fear for their lives had me in tears.

Wonderful story. I will definitely be reading more of this author's books!

This is the first book I have read, and I can say that although I enjoyed the story, I think you really need to read the other 3 to fully understand what is happening and why. The characters are great, the story-line seems enjoyable to read, lots of suspense and a great ending.

This is book four in this series. These books must be read in order to get the full story. There are many more twists, drama and surprises in this suspenseful book. A complex, dark series that keeps you turning pages past your bedtime. By my own accord I am posting a forthright review.

I was surprised at the turn of events in this book. The revelations are many and constant. It was mind blowing to read this book and I sympathized with Madison and Stone. The threats are many as well. This was a very good ending to this series.
