Bound To You

by Nicole Banks

Eight years ago my life shattered. What was supposed to be the best time of my life turned out to be the worst.

One soft-spoken lie sent me packing to New York in hopes of forgetting the woman I’d been in love with since I was sixteen.

Eight years was a long time to let old wounds heal, and that’s exactly what I tried to do until she showed up at my hospital bed with a little girl whose eyes matched mine.

That one lie she spoke eight years before made me miss time with a daughter I never knew existed. Surrounded by lies and anger, we tried to co-parent in an environment in which we couldn’t even seem to coexist.

It wasn’t until I suggested a family trip to Falls Village that our walls began to come down and we connected as parents, and maybe something more.

I can feel my heart softening toward her, but there’s something lurking in the darkness of her past—something that refuses to let her go—and I’m not sure I’ll be enough to save her.

Bound To You is a Falls Village Novel that features Damien from my Shattered Hearts series.

Bound to You is a beautiful and heartbreaking story about Stacey who brings her daughter Ari to visit Damien in the hospital after he sustained serious injuries. He can not understand why she left him or waited 8 years to tell him Ari is his daughter. Damien arranges to meet Stacey and Ari in Falls Village to spend some time there as he very much wants to be part of his daughter's life. Will Stacey confide her tragic past to Damien and will that past catch up with her. I love how the author included a storyline from book 5 of the Falls Village Series (Saving Carson) and wove it into this story. This exciting story is captivating, and full of danger and includes some of the characters from previous books in this series. I especially love the character of the daughter Ari who is so bright, inquisitive, fun and so loving. This is my first time reading this author's work but certainly will not be the last. I absolutely loved this story and highly recommend this story and the whole Falls Village Series.

Damien and Stacy have a story that is heart breaking for both of them that will turn into a love of a lifetime. When he went into the Marines it broke her heart when he broke up with her telling her not to wait but go on with her life. When she meets Trent he was so sweet and seem to love her so much she thought she was finally moving on until he started beating her. When Damien comes back home she reconnects with him only to get pregnant and he thinks they are getting the second chance until she tells him she is pregnant with Trents's baby. He leaves her thinking never to see her again but eight years later when he gets severely injured she comes to the hospital with his seven year old daughter. Now they have to figure out a way to move forward without his protective friends interfering and hopefully Trent not finding her.

A lie 8 years ago tore Damien world apart now hes faced with a new future woth the woman who broke him and the daughter he never knew. Can Fall's village be their second chance or will the past seek to destroy it. This is well written, a good read that's best read as part of the series to get the overall story.

Book twelve in the Falls Village Collection series a well written second chance story that held my interest until the end. Eight years ago Stacy walked away from Damien now she is back with their daughter Ari, but she is a changed woman. Will Damien get to show her he still loves her? A story that is well worth reading.

This addition the the Falls Village Collection is a must read. Damien and Stacy’s story is full of emotion and rips at your heart. I couldn’t put this down. There’s suspense and you page turning wondering what’s going to happen. Plus we get to visit with characters we all love. This series is fantastic and each book makes it even that much better.

Although kind of confusing if you have not read anything else by Nicole Banks prior to this story as I really had no idea who the established characters were but still an enjoyable read. Everything seems to be better in Falls Village and for Damien and Stacy deception is revealed and hop is in the air. Another great installment in a wonderful series!!

A wonderfully crafted story that pulled at my heartstrings. The emotional impact of their story and the devastation it created in their relationship was well written and easily felt. I was thoroughly entertained by this book and I enjoyed reading it.

I requested a copy of this book so I could provide an honest review.
