Bonded Duet #2
Tied Bond
From Abigail Davies comes the ultimate forbidden romance duet.
They said true love only happened once in a lifetime. The kind that knocked you off your feet and changed you completely. At twenty-one, I was sure I’d already had mine.
My heart had been stolen, my soul captured, and my world spun on its head. I’d taken it for granted though—taken him for granted. It was there one moment, and the next…gone.
Devastation.
Loss.
Heartbreak.
Time healed all wounds, at least, that was what we were taught.
But it was a lie.
A lie we liked to tell ourselves so each day would feel easier than the one before.
Time stood still. Memories haunted me.
All I wanted was to turn back time to a place where he was beside me. A world where he existed.
But it was gone.
Nothing would ever be the same again.
Ford has been my protector; my savior even when I hadn’t asked for it.
He was the strength I’d needed, so I was determined to be exactly that for our baby.
Each day was a challenge to survive, and I found myself drifting farther into myself. I allowed loneliness to consume me.
But I shouldn’t have.
I shouldn’t have let me guard down.
Evil lurked in places I hadn’t expected.
I’d always been taught to be aware of my surroundings, but I’d failed—again.
Nothing could save me from the hell I was living, but one tiny seed of hope was all it took.
I had to fight for what was right.
I had to fight for me.
I had to fight for my baby.
But most of all, I had to fight for Ford.
The ties that bind were infinite, and ours could never be broken.
Tied Bond is book two in the Bonded Duet. A two-part, forbidden story, with epic angst you’ll never forget.

FIVE EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL STARS for Belle and Ford 💛💖💛💖!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
"Bonded Duet" is an extremely emotional age-gap, forbidden and suspense romance in whose characters will become part of you once you start reading these books.
I usually don't pick who is my favorite author and there are a few authors whose books I'll read without reading the blurb.
But, after I finished reading "Tied Bond", I absolutely knew with my whole heart who is my favorite author.
Congrats Abigail, you did it!
You became my favorite author!
She stole my heart and soul with this book but I knew deep down this would happen because, from the first book I've read by Abigail, "Down Fall", I had a feeling that more is coming and I'll be left speechless.
When somebody says something about age-gap romance, people often get a conclusion about it as something wrong.
We are full of prejudice and that is the reason why books like this don't get their chance to shine.
I've read a few age-gap romance books beyond Abigail and they were good but there was always something was missing.
And now I know what!
All three duets Abigail had written are age-gap romance but if you get into the story, you'll forget about it because the main point in her books is true love.
And true love means a lot of roller-coaster emotions, fighting against the loved ones to prove that your love for someone who is twice your age, isn't wrong.
It's something pure and real.
After reading "Fallen Duet" and "Fated Duet", I was getting used to age differences between main characters but when I found out that the age difference between Belle and Ford is twenty-two years I was a little scared and curious at the same time.
As I said before, this relationship between Belle and Ford wasn't gross, it was weird (as Lola said in the book) at the beginning of duet, but after that, it became something unique and special.
Their love is the kind of love that every single person in this world deserves.
Love in which you are ready to die for the other person just to protect her/him.
After I've finished reading "Torn Bond", I had some theories about characters and who is responsible for things that happened, but I really couldn't predict how it will all end.
Abigail really broke my heart with "Tied Bond".
To be more precise.
She did it twice.
The first time I started crying it was at the end of the last chapter.
I could expect something like that to happen because she and I are thinking the same.
But, I wasn't ready.
And the second time at the epilog.
She wrote epilog so skillfully that if you don't read the book till the end, you'll misunderstand what happened and start crying bitterly as I did.
She is the QUEEN of writing emotional romance books, with her writing and her words, she pulls all your emotions out of you, then breaks your heart in a thousand pieces and at the end puts it together again.
What I also loved in this book is the connection between all the characters.
Their interaction made me laugh a lot especially when Belle and Ford revealed their secret to her parents and siblings.
But, no matter what, they stayed like a real family and tried to accept things as they are, which is one more plus to this book.
One of the most important parts of "Bonded Duet" is a suspense aspect which, I have to admit made my heart beating fast and really scared me.
If you're looking for...
✔ age-gap romance
✔ suspense romance
✔ teacher-student romance
✔ forbidden romance
✔ emotional romance
...then "Easton Family Saga" is for YOU!!!
Highly recommended!!!
P.S. I can't wait for "Burned Duet" to read Asher's story 😍💖🔥!!!

This is the second instalment in the Bonded Duet, featuring Belle and Ford finding love. I greatly enjoyed this book. After the major cliffhanger that left me reeling at the end of the first book (and not necessarily in a good way), I was a little wary going into this book. Of course, it features the trope that I don’t like, but Davies is a fabulous writer and she made it work (obviously, since I still gave it 4 stars!)
There’s equal parts angst and suspense in this book. There are a couple of great twists along the way, and I ended up enjoying this book quite a bit. 4 stars.

Tied Bond picks up exactly where we left off, with our hearts completely shattered wondering how in the world Ms. Davies is going to piece it back together.
After finding out devastating news, Belle runs off with Curtis, not letting anyone in her family know where she is. She needs some time to process everything that is happening. She is completely heart broken. Her and Curtis move a cabin that is hours away from home with plans of leaving and going back home after the Summer is over. But summer ends and they find themselves still there. She has made friends there, but she still needs her family. Given her condition she has to go back at some point. But what will it take for her to finally admit that the time to go home is now? And when she finally does go home will she be able to face the loss and heartache as well as her parents who have no idea of the condition that she is in.
I don’t want to say any more about this one because it will give too much away. So, I am going to keep this review short and sweet. The conclusion to Belle and Ford’s story was everything I could have hoped for. It was an emotional ride filled with bumps in the road and some twists and turns that you may not have seen coming. There is angst and drama, moments that will completely tug on your heart strings. But the love, the protectiveness and sweet moments that we see will melt your heart.
I love this series so much. The characters alone is what makes this series so special. The family dynamic, the love that they all have for each other. But it is also the twist and turns that Ms. Davies knows so well how to weave into the story. I cannot get enough of these characters!!! I am looking forward to Asher’s story but at the same time sad that it will be the last one. A must-read series.

-Jenna, 4 stars
I had so many opinions after finishing Torn Bond and I'm so glad to finally found out what happens!! Ford and Belle's story picks up exactly where it left off. There was heartbreak, happiness, more heartbreak and so many other emotions thrown in. This story was a roller coaster with twists and turns, ups and downs. I really loved the growth Belle found in herself through the story. I can't say much more without giving major spoilers away but if you've loved the previous Easton sagas, this one joins the club of greatness.

Tied Bond is the second book in the Bonded duet and the 6th book in the Easton Family saga. It's written by Abigail Davies.
This book was amazing. After the ending of book 1 I couldn't wait to start it so when I saw it this morning on my Kindle app I started it right away. The story is amazing. I love the Easton family. It's so well written and I can only say start with the Fallen duet and read all 6 because they are amazing.
Can't wait for the next duet!

I started reading this book as soon as I had finished reading the first book! The ending of the first book was left at quite the ending, so I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next! After reading this book, I can say that I really, really enjoyed it! I also tried to take my time reading this book, but it only took me a day to read lol! The plot was continued on perfectly from the first book and it kept me wanting to read on and find out what was going to happen next! The plot also had quite a lot of action and suspense in it, which added to the plot and made me enjoy it even more! There was plenty of romance in the plot as well, which allowed for a few seriously hot scenes! I loved the romance and the way it progressed between the main characters! The characters were again amazing and made this book even better! Belle was again the main character and I felt for her in this book because she wasn't surrounded by her family at the beginning and she was dealing with a lot! Belle then went through something unexpected and she again found herself in a dangerous situation! I felt like Belle tried her best in this book and she did what she had to do to protect herself! Belle also came a long way in this book and I loved her as a character! Ford was again the main male character and love interest of Belle! Ford wasn't in this book for the majority of the beginning, but this was because of what happened at the end of the last book! I've also just told you a massive spoiler, but hopefully people won't read my review for this book until after they've read the first book lol! I loved Ford in this book! I understood why he did what he did, even though he knew that it would hurt Belle! When they reunited, it was easy to see how much Ford loved Belle and he was very protective of her and wanted her to be as safe as possible! I loved that this book was written from both Belle and Ford's point of views! I was expecting it to be because the first book was written this way as well! The synopsis does give the impression that it might only have been written from the female character's point of view, which would have made sense after the ending to the first book! I loved that it was written from both characters point of views because it allowed for a lot more things to happen in the plot, which helped as the Belle and Ford spent a lot of the book apart! It helped me connect more with both characters as well and see how they were feeling about their changing circumstances! The ending of this book was also left at the perfect place for the characters and it summed up their story and how far they had come! I now can't wait to read the next prequel duet in this series! I know that it's going to focus on a secondary character in the series and I can't wait to read his story! The first book in the next duet has also released, but I'm going to wait for the second book to release before I read them! I also love the cover for this book a lot! I love how perfectly it suits the cover for the first book and how well it suits the covers for the other prequel duets! I love that it has the same cover models on it as well!

Ford & Belle - Easton Family Saga - Bonded Duet
“Our bond was unlike anything else.
Our bond was special.
But most of all…
Our bond was unbreakable.”
This is the third book, the duet, of the Easton family Saga. Each of this duet is standalone, but to get a better understanding of this entire book series you should start with the first duet - Fallen Duet - Brody & Lola. They are the parents of Belle - the main protagonist of this third duet and Ford - a family friend, her mom's best friend who helped her a lot when she needed help most, and her father's employee/friend/family.
Although there is a difference of 20 years (Belle is 20 and Ford 40) this love story is special. First, it must be said that Ford is a true alpha man who has known Belle since she was born and has been involved in her life as much as her parents. Belle had loved him since she was little, and had loved him ever since she could understand what the word love meant. As a little girl, I think she was about 8 when she said:
“When I get married, I’m going to wear the bestest dress,” Belle told me, twirling around and making the skirt of her dress come up. “It’s going to be amazing, and everyone will be super jealous of how beautiful I look.”
“Is that right?” I asked, unable to wipe the smile off my face as we finally made it outside. “And who will you be marrying?”
“Duh.” Belle rolled her eyes as if I was stupid. “Ford, of course.”
So please do not condemn this book or this story because of the age difference, give yourself a chance to read it and realize how wonderful and beautiful and loving it is. Love that everyone deserves regardless of age, right?!
How do I do this without spoiling everything? ...
And then that random kiss happened - a kiss that changed everything forever. Forbidden love, which, despite all the obstacles that struck them, remained firm and eternal. There was a passion that could not be described, a broken heart and pain that had almost dissolved them forever, life-threatening situations - but - there is always that but, thank God for that... the happy End!
Conclusion: If you need the age-gap romance with suspense and forbidden love you have found one!!
“He pressed his forehead against mine, and for a moment, we sat there, connected in ways nobody could comprehend. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. And I knew that I could live the rest of my life only hearing those words from him once, but I hoped he’d say them to me every day.”

This is book 2 and book one needs to be read first. Please do not read the review if you haven’t read book one yet.
Belle Easton has just received news that has shaken her to the core – she is pregnant and likely alone when she learns what has happened to Ford.
She has decided to hide from the world with Curtis in Five Oaks where she can be pregnant without the thought of missing Ford.
Yet nothing is ever as easy as it seems and soon she discovers the hard way that starting over may never turn out the way you think it will.
This was a good conclusion and I was happy that there was so much I was right about from my guesses in the first book!
My heart broke for Belle with everything she felt like she lost but I was shocked that she stayed silent for so long as I thought that it would have been easier to have support around her instead of running off with Curtis. I loved her relationship with Leopold and I liked that she began to open up to him.
I was completely expecting what happened to occur. I had my suspicions from the first book and I was proud of Belle for doing what she had to in order to protect her baby and herself.
So I was also expecting the next big reveal as I thought that Belle would have heard something before just walking in to the wake. I completely understood why things happened the way they did for the safety of everyone involved.
I completely understood why all of the guys at work were mad about Belle being pregnant due to the age difference and that Belle was treated like a little niece to all of the men and Ford betrayed that. That being said I understood what happened between Ford and Belle was accidental, but both were completely in love with each other and willing to do whatever it took.
So I knew something else was bound to happen from the events at the beginning of the book and also because of my suspicions from the first book and I was right all along! I wasn’t expecting the events at the supermarket to occur but I was so proud of Belle for her quick thinking! I didn’t know the link with everything but I was so mad that nobody knew about an escape which finally put all the pieces together.
The end was definitely tense and I was scared about how it looked like things were going but I was happy with the way things ended although I was sad for everything that Belle had to endure!
I hope we get more of the other agents soon! - By Rebecca

That being said I understood what happened between Ford and Belle was accidental, but both were completely in love with each other and willing to do whatever it took.
So I knew something else was bound to happen from the events at the beginning of the book and also because of my suspicions from the first book and I was right all along! I wasn’t expecting the events at the supermarket to occur but I was so proud of Belle for her quick thinking! I didn’t know the link with everything but I was so mad that nobody knew about an escape which finally put all the pieces together.
The end was definitely tense and I was scared about how it looked like things were going but I was happy with the way things ended although I was sad for everything that Belle had to endure!
I hope we get more of the other agents soon!
My heart broke for Belle with everything she felt like she lost but I was shocked that she stayed silent for so long as I thought that it would have been easier to have support around her instead of running off with Curtis. I loved her relationship with Leopold and I liked that she began to open up to him.
I was completely expecting what happened to occur. I had my suspicions from the first book and I was proud of Belle for doing what she had to in order to protect her baby and herself.

Tied Bond by Abigail Davies is the second book in the Bonded Duet, and the third installment in the Easton Family Saga (every couple has 2 books). I thought this was a great conclusion to Belle and Ford's story! I'll try not to spoil it too much, but it is a bit hard to after the dramatic ending of Torn Bond and knowing it is about Belle and Ford still. Belle has run away with Curtis (the guy who she always paired up with when going on double dates with Stella and Justin, and Justin's roommate) and is living in a small town in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. She is pregnant and alone essentially. When some big events take place there (really big events!), she calls her family and they come and get her. This is after about half a year with no contact to them. Belle is now at home and learns that Ford was really going undercover to get the cartel off their trail. The two reconnect and work on learning how to be together and what comes next after everything that went down in book one. At the same time, they are still dealing with unsolved mysteries and threats. I really liked seeing Belle and Ford together trying to figure out how they would move forward. They were meant to be together and still had feelings for each other. I liked seeing their baby and the domesticated bliss they deserved. There were quite a few shockers and it kept the book going for me. I will say that I noticed this in book one as well, but the beginning and middle of both books were much slower and there were lots of smaller scenes of Belle and Ford with a tiny hint that there is still something not quite right. And then in the last third/fourth of the book, all of these shocking and big events occur, with little time to really have an aftermath and set the scenes up. I thought Tied Bond especially, since it didn't end on a cliffhanger, had a sudden ending that felt a bit unresolved. They did get an HEA, but it was in the epilogue and really the last three chapters were where all the action after the initial shocker in the beginning took place. I wish there had been some resolution before you got to the epilogue and that there was more about Belle and Ford after the climax of the novel and how they were dealing. Other than that, I thought Tied Bond was a bit better than Torn Bond. More things occurred, there were less scenes that moved slowly or seemed to drag on, and Belle and Ford had a stronger relationship and connection. I really enjoyed reading Belle and Ford's journey and I love them as a couple. Seeing the other members of the Easton family was also great.

The drama didn't end with the first book it's all over the map in this the ending of their story. Surprises and action center around the conclusion to their story. Belle finds herself pregnant and away from everyone and everything she knows building a new life. What she doesn't know is that there is plenty going on behind her back. When the story comes out she will question everything she knows to be true and the relationships she has built. She will also find the strength to stand up for what she wants, consequences be damned. Baby Belle is all grown up and not a minute too soon. Now if she can get over the actions she was forced to take she just might be okay.
Love the twist and turns to get to the end. Just when you think you have it all figured out this author snatches the rug out. Love her style and always will be back for more. Whether she has you laughing or crying or somewhere in-between this author will definitely become an easy favorite and a one click regular.

YES! Thank Goodness! This follow up definitely redeemed itself from the first installment of Belle & Ford's story (read my review on the first half of this Duet).
I finally got into their story and that was surprisingly just after Chapter 3. I really wasn't expecting much as I wasn't feeling the first half of the Duet but damn the second half had me sucked in.
This plot thickened on this conclusion and it was brilliant. It had me on the edge of my seat, with every new twist and turn that came about. Just when I thought I had it figured out, the story pulled a full 180 and threw me into a whole new direction that I didn't know was coming...loved it!
They may not be my favourite Duet couple in this series, but it was still a decent read of their journey.

Holy Hell Batman!!
This duet was everything and more.
My pulse was racing when I found this book on my Kindle. Fuck me sideways I needed to get my heart rate back to somewhat normal just so I could start reading. That right there should say something. Once I dove in I was lucky that my heart didn't explode. Damn you Davies for nearly giving me a heart attack. I swear this duet had it all...
1. An emotionally gripping story
2. A strong female character that was still vulnerable.
3. Moments that kept you guessing.
And
4. A love story that will bring you close to tears.
Now let's see if I can get through this review without spoilers. . .
This of course if the conclusion to Belle's duet. So if you haven't read Torn Bond: 1) you need to stop now and dice into that one right now, 2) what the fuck are you waiting for. With this book answers are given and there are a shit ton of surprises. You may think you know what's going to happen. But trust me, the way Davies has everything playing out you will be second and third guessing yourself from start to finish.
I do have to say alive/dead Ford is now my favorite of the men. Poor Cade has been knocked down the list:
1. Ford
2. Cade
3. Brody
And I have a feeling that Asher is going to be pushing his dad even further down the list when his duet is released next.
You did it again Davies. You left me with a book hangover from hell. And I know you don't feel sorry for doing it.

4.5 Cranky Stars
Tied Bond picks up not to0 far after the first book. It’s going to be hard to review because I don’t want to give anything away since it is so closely tied to book one. This book was a little more action packed and fast paced then Torn Bond. We are getting a cartel involved now and there is an unlikely link to them and Belle I didn’t see coming.
Belle is adjusting to her life since the tragedy that had her running. She is harboring some secrets and she thinks she made a friend. Not everyone is who they claim to be and she’s faced with the consequences of those actions. Like I said this book is so much more. It’s acceptance and betrayal. You’ll find yourself rooting for Belle from the start and I’m glad she has grown since book one. She is still combative in a way but she is only 21. I really only found one inconsistency and that was her broken arm but maybe I just missed it during that pivotal moment I’m mentioning. All in all a good ending to the duet. I did like this one much more it seems Ms. Davies improved with this story. I have liked her other books and this was no different.

The closer it comes to having the baby the more Belle realises they were only meant to stay for the summer and maybe it’s time to head home, although Curtis doesn’t seem enthusiastic about the idea.
Talking to Leopold, he points out Curtis maybe jealous, when he said there’s nothing at home for her but agrees she does need her mum. One thing Belle realises is that she can’t keep running from her problems, she needs to be strong for her baby and face her problems no matter what they bring her.
Everything goes wrong and Belle knows there’s only one person that can help her, one person that could find her without her having to explain, so she called her dad, Belle knows that when everything is wrong in her life that her family will help make it right and as much as she wanted to be away from them she knows she’s safe with them.
When she arrived home, she knew there would be questions, but she never expected what she would see when she got there and had questions of her own.
Another amazing read by Abigail Davies.

Abigail Davies you writing genius!! Yet another fantastic read for the Easton family concluding the duet story of Belle and Ford and what a story it is!
Jumping straight back into the drama and hectic time that Belle found herself in at the end of book 1 this book brings us yet more highs and lows and has so many twists I couldnt keep up!
God this pair are just smoking hot together... the whole family have had me hooked and devouring every word that Abigail gives us!
I want name her the Queen of Angst as that's what she is! I'm always feeling so great while reading and then when I get to the end of the story I'm left feeling lost and begging for more words to matter what she writes about.

After receiving devasting information Belle is left shaken and distraught. There is more to consider than just herself and although she loves her family and friends, she can’t be around them at this time. Instead she and Curtis leave town so that she can have the distance to heal.
When circumstances bring her home, she isn’t only giving a surprise, but she is receiving one as well. Along with the surprises is the knowledge of the danger that surrounds them all, and it will take all of their resilience and resources to emerge together and alive.
This story is filled with suspense and so much emotion, but it was great to see the strength of Belle and the way that those around her reacted to her new fierce self.

Fantastic read!
OMG! I was blown away by this amazing duet and all the fantastic characters. I loved getting to know adult Belle and older Ford (lol). It’s full of exciting twists and turns, thrilling suspense, hot chemistry, heartache, and love.
As with all the previous duets in the brilliant Easton Family Saga series it had me hooked from page one and I couldn’t have put it down if I’d wanted to. Which I didn’t!
It’s an absolute must read!

A strong 3.5 stars. Bella just wasn’t who I imagined her to become after reading the first two duets. One of the reason I don’t usually like to read series that follow the children/ family is the expectations never match up. I never would have imagined Lola and Brody would act how they acted or that Bella and Ford be so secretive. Anyhow, I did like this one a bit more than book one of Bella and Ford’s story.

Tied bond is a continuous book from torn bond. This was Abigail Davies best yet.
With the cliff hanger at the end of torn bond
I was anxious to read what happens next.
Abigail didn't disappoint not one bit.
I was at the edge of my seat for the entire book.
The chemistry between Ford and belle was beautiful.
The journey you go on through this book will tear through your heart strings.
Can't wait for abigail next book
I highly recommend this book

Another great Easton family saga love story. This book was just as riveting at book 1 in this duet, I read it in 1 sitting. I couldn't put it down...had to see how it was all going to play out. There were a couple things that happened that I didn't love and wish were handled differently, but the book was still great overall. Hard to believe the series is almost over, just 1 duet left!

OMG plan for an awesome continuation of Belle and Ford’s story. I have to admit with cliffhangers, book two is often a disappointment for me. It is NOT the case here.
So I guessed right from book one in the fact that a certain character was not who he pretended to be. What I didn’t guess was what a POS he was. This author took me on a ride full of intrigue and angst.
Belle is my girl. She is one kick booty chick who knows how to fight for herself. I know misunderstandings had occurred at the end of book one but I had no idea the extend. WTH, buckle up and hang on. I love it when a girl is her own savior and shades of that happen in this story. Clapping hands.
Ford, mmm you are awesome as your bad boy self. You are an amazing protector but you also fight for what you want even when not conventional. He is sexy on a stick. He and Belle together are so flipping hot. Fanning myself.
This book I love. It was a beautiful five star read that had all the elements I that keep me guessing. It is full of high adrenaline moments with some added forbidden to keep you wondering what will happen next.
Wink! Hope you enjoy this delicious book as much as I did. Happy Reading Everyone. XOXO.

Tied Bond...
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! Belle and Ford were destined and then Book 1 ended the way it did...😱😱
And because of the way that book ended, I can say absolutely nothing about this one 😘
What I will say though, is that I thoroughly enjoyed it! I laughed, I cried, I smiled and I didn't want it to end!
An excellent addition to the Easton Family saga and I can't wait to read Asher's story!! 4.5

Okay. So.... I had already figured part of the story out before going in. But the other twists?
WOW!
This family is just amazing. The loyalty and love they have is like no other. I absolutely will be reading the next duet, I can't wait to find out what Asher's story is!

Suspenseful
This review is for both books about Belle and Ford. I hated how Book One ended that I had to read Boom Two. I cried numerous times, but not as hard as I did in the end. Well worth it!!!!

I love these books, that carry on through the Easton family. The writing is brilliant, suspense, drama, love, family life. They have everything you want in a book. Loved Baby Belle and Ford and how they fought through everything.
