Twisted Bond by Emma Hart

I’m an Italian-Texan woman in a family full of cops. I’m passionate and shoot before I think. You only f*ck with me if you’re stupid.

Photograph cheating spouses. Hand over the evidence. Cash my check.
That was my plan when I returned home to Holly Woods, Texas, and became a private investigator.
Finding the dead body in my dumpster? Yeah… Given the choice, I think I would have opted out of that little discovery, especially since all three of my brothers are cops. And my Italian grandmother is sure the reason I’m single is because of my job.
Of course, my connection to the victim is entirely coincidental. Until I’m hired by her husband to investigate her murder and shoved bang-smack into the path of Detective Drake Nash. My nemesis, a persistent pain in my ass, and one hell of a sexy son of a bitch.
Shame he still holds a grudge from that time I shot him in the foot twelve years ago, or we could have something. In another life.
So now all I have to do is avoid my nonna’s blind dates, try not to blackmail my brothers into giving me confidential police files, and absolutely do not point my gun at Drake Nash. Or kiss him. Or jump his bones.
All while I hunt down the killer.
Sounds totally simple—until a second body proves that sometimes things that start as coincidences don’t always end up that way…

(Twisted Bond is book one of the Holly Woods Files series and while it does not end in a cliffhanger, it is not a standalone.)

4 Star Review by Ashley

Twisted Bond is my first Emma Hart book and I am kicking myself for that fact because I loved every moment of this one! This book had it all. A great cast of characters, drama, humor, steam and suspense.
The writing was so on point that I felt as if I knew Noelle and could hear the sarcasm pouring out of her. This woman is an absolute rock star. She is bold, sassy, fearless, loyal and has just enough vulnerability to give her that soft side. But when a dead body turns up at her office, her organized chaotic life takes a turn into the strange. Not only is she hired to figure out whodunit, Noelle is brought face to face with the person who irritates her most; Drake Nash (and that is saying a lot, especially since her Nonna was always trying to set her up on blind dates).

Drake is an interesting character; equal parts broody and sexy. He takes his work very seriously and no time in his life for distractions, let alone the firecracker that is throwing herself into his investigation! But as they uncover more, more questions arise. When Noelle is threatened, all bets are off and Drake's protective side comes out. These two fight hard and it was only a matter of time before all that tension went somewhere. Did I think Noelle might end up shooting Drake again? Yes. Did I think Drake would actually use his handcuffs on Noelle. Double yes!
Throughout all of the intensity of the investigation into the murders, yes, there was more than one that landed on Noelle's doorstep, there was the hilarity of Nonna's blind date set ups. Noelle's connection to her family is what really made this book so relateable. Her relationship with her brothers was very realistic. There was plenty of good-natured ribbing and joking but when push came to shove, they all had each others back. Especially when Noelle comes up with a crazy plan that they all think just must work do draw out the killer.

Luckily, or not, her plan works. But the real shocker is who the murderer is. I didn't see that twist coming at all. WOW! How Noelle put it all together was beyond awesome. And Drake's reaction to the confrontation had a big ol' smile on my face. And his proclamation at the end was what I had been waiting for. And Noelle's response was so perfectly her that I can't wait to see what is in store for these two next.
