Ties That Bind: A Second Chance Romance Kindle Edition
Nia
I made a deal with the devil. Family is the most important thing, right? Along the way, I met Enzo Renzetti, and my heart knew I should stay away from him. He was gorgeous, dark, but most importantly, dangerous.
I ran, but fate has a funny way of coming full circle. I’m back in Strathmore, and I know it’s inevitable we’ll cross paths again.
Enzo
I didn’t have time for love, especially after being burned once. Nia Mason was everything I wanted in a woman: gorgeous, determined, and quick-witted with a smart mouth, but after she vanished, I swore off relationships. Years later, she’s reappeared and I haven’t decided if I want to destroy her or claim her for myself.
This standalone is mafia lite. That means that our MMC is a criminal but has a soft spot for our leading lady.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2023I couldn't get enough of Enzo and Nia! This second chance with mafia adjacent ties was fantastic! The natural burning fire these two had for each other was scorching. I love a morally gray man and Enzo was *chefs kiss. His praise and dëgradation between the sheets is super super tasty. Now is the best mother and only wants the best. The action kept me really engaged and I devoured this read. 5/5. 3.5/5 for spice
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2023Nia, is an emergency room physician, who is juggling not only her career, but single parenthood, and she cares her ailing mother. Yet this isn't the way she pictured her life turning out. She once dreamed of love. She had love once, with Enzo. The man she can't seem to forget, her son's father. When Enzo comes across Nia, in the ER he vows he isn't going to let her escape like she did all the years ago. He is determined to find out why she ran. His heart still yearns for her, his body still craves her. Will these two long lost loves be able to mend what once was broken?
This was a sweet, spicy story of two long lost loves, who finally reconnect after several years of separation. As well as one big secret Nia kept from Enzo. There could have been some more in depth character development I feel like, that would have made the story so much stronger. Overall the story and plot, were good, and it had just a hint of spice.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2023I loved Enzo!! I enjoyed this book and the characters so much! Hoping we get Liam's story too in the future.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2023Ties That Bind was an incredible story! I couldn't get enough of Nia and Enzo. This book has everything I love romance, angst, amazing characters and tons of steam and spice! I am obsessed with Enzo!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024Ties That Bind by Celeste Night is a Second Chance, hidden child, mafia-isk romance. I’ve read other books by this author so I knew I was going to be a fan of this one as well. Well boy was I right, I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down, I read it in a few hours. I was hooked almost immediately. This was written so well with a great plot and amazing descriptions; it was so easy to feel what the characters were feeling. Speaking of said characters, I really enjoyed reading Nia Ian’s Enzo’s story. She was strong yet stubborn; her character was so relatable. He was just a perfect morally gray man. Their character development was so good! I ate this story up! It was sweet yet spicy and had everything I could have wanted out of this standalone. I loved how things came to a head. But have no fears there is a happily ever after! This is a perfect book if you like reads that are a bit dark with some spicy good times. Plus Enzo is just a chef’s kiss of a character. Also have you seen the cover! It’s so pretty!!! I can’t recommend Celeste Night enough… all the books I’ve read by this author are fabulous.
Final review:
5 out of 5 stars
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023I found this book to be a good short read. I honestly was expecting a bit more but I enjoyed it for a quick short read.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2023***Possible Spoilers***
Omg I was so happy to be back in this world again! I was hoping that Nia would get a book! And I absolutely loved it.
We have Nia and Enzo, both of whom we're introduced to in the Promises series. (Same time-line-ish.) This is lovers to sort-of-but-not-really enemies to lovers. There's also a secret child.
Nia is stubborn and spent most of her life being the strong one in her family. Enzo is the eldest son in one of the crime families that runs the city. We do get to see some of the characters from the Promises series.
I feel like there was a bit less action in this story than the previous series. It focused more on Nia and Enzo, which I was totally ok with. Probably a 3 on the 🌶 scale for me.
Do check trigger warnings. There is mention of drug abuse and ODing.
Overall, I really loved it. Everything kind of came to a head at the end, and multiple things happened at once. Does end with an HEA, though, so no worries there.
I'm hoping that we get more stories from more of the people in this world! *fingers crossed we get a book for Ash!* I really want to know his story!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2023Great book to start out 2023. It’s a short read (250 ish pages). Took about 3.5 hrs to read. So you can start and finish in one day of time allows.
Overall this book was good read. I really enjoyed it. It has spice, but again being that it’s a shorter novel it’s not overly spicy. It has just enough to make it interesting.
We have Nia and Enzo. They had a relationship but things happened and Nia disappeared. Now she’s back. And these two have some unfinished business and a big secret Nia’s been keeping that is coming out. This book kept me guessing and had my attention. I would like more of course! But I did appreciate that once the story ended, we got glimpses of what happened as the years went by. I really felt you got a HEA and then some with this.
Trigger warnings. Enzo is tied to a mafia organization. So make sure you check those out. Not heavy overall. Meaning not every page is full of triggers. Just a few here and there.
I def recommend this book! Happy Reading Ya’ll 🖤
