Bound to Me (The Harbour Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Christy Pastore (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 294 ratings

Fall for a woman after one night together? Not likely.

Turns out my mystery woman is the person I’ve been hired to protect.

Story of my life.

I swore I’d never fall for another woman like her—way off limits and the very definition of blond ambition. But Ella Connolly is so much more than the trashy tabloids paint her to be.

I never should’ve started anything with her—there are rules.

But love never follows the rules. I’ve got the scars to prove it.

My demons and my past haunt me every day. She deserves a better man.

I walked away . . . I tried to let her go.

But I can’t and now I’m going back to make it right.

International Bestselling Author and self-proclaimed french fry addict, Christy Pastore writes sexy, contemporary romance books that contain no nonsense (mostly) heroines and swoony gentleman with a naughty side. Readers so overwhelmingly embraced one Wicked Gentleman, Jackson Hart specifically, turning many of her #AuthorGoals into a reality.

When Christy’s not turning her risqué thoughts into something worth reading, you’ll find her geeking out on all things pop culture, obsessively stalking Pinterest for home interior ideas, lunching with friends, or researching her next vacation destination.

She has strong opinions about folding laundry, fruity wines, the Oxford Comma, fashion, and mixed vegetables.

Christy lives in central Indiana with her husband and their three loveable cats, Cheeto, Dorito, and Brew. But as cute as they are, please send scratching posts asap because they’re slowly destroying the furniture.

    Christy was a new author for me when I started Bound to Me, after reading it she has won a new follower. I found this book to be extremely difficult to put down, I loved the forbidden aspect of Ella and Alex's relationship. His job was to protect her, but it became personal even when they have everything going against them. Christy is a fantastic writer, this book is so well written, the characters had amazing chemistry. I couldn't get enough of it. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This was a really good read, it hooked me in from page one ...
    Reviewed in Australia on 30 January 2017
    This was a really good read, it hooked me in from page one and turned out to be a real page turner. The characters were well written and I didn't feel that it was part of a series at all. I haven't read any of this author's work before but I will definitely find time to read the series that this book comes from now.
    I loved the main characters, Alex and Ella and I really did bond with them. Alex is a real alpha male, all protective and dominant - #swoon but then I suppose he would be, being that he owns a security company and has been hired to be Ella's bodyguard!
    They meet totally randomly and have an anonymous one night stand- no name, no number. Ella leaves before he wakes and then they discover he is hired by her movie star brother to be her bodyguard! He is a bit of a 'runner' though. I was a bit exasperated with him a couple of times as it is so obvious to everyone but him that he runs from his problems. He's had a couple of GOOD reasons to run away from.
    Ella is a self-assured, accomplished woman and she can fit in with the best of the elite and the general public, having an actor for a brother has her mixing with lots of affluent people, but she has a bit of a murky past and needs to be watched.
    These two are made for each other. There's some good drama awaiting you in this book too.
    The other characters were a delight and you can add a couple of slime balls who you just want to punch (and not in the face either). From the very first pages in the book you fall in love with Alex and are heartbroken for him too.
    Great story, with an great ending that was perfect and left you feeling good.
    Btw, Alex is super sexy and great in bed! Oh yeah! HOT!

    ****STEAMY, SWEET & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN***
    This was a good quick favorite read of mine. I totally loved this book! I picked this up free on Amazon and read it in just a couple of days. This book had everything one could want in a book. After reading the first few pages I was hooked. I loved the story of Alex and Ella. It was beautifully written that pulled on the heart strings. I like the forbidden aspect of this book, maybe not so much forbidden but Ella being off limits to Alex. I think the book had sweet and steamy scenes that were done tastefully wasn't over the top or obnoxious. I enjoyed the friendship between the couples and the characters that were introduced that would be in the next two books. I liked that it flowed well, it was a good story that I was very into and kept me reading. I was hooked immediately after the first few pages and I really enjoy the Christy's writing. I felt connected with the characters, I got the jokes, and the "Friends" references. This was a good page turner and I was left in suspense in a few chapters. I had keep reading to find out what happens. I am glad I was able grab this from Amazon because it was so worth it!

    Reviewed in the United States on 16 February 2018

    Christy is a new author to me and this story is a great introduction. She gives us two characters who are trying to reinvent themselves. Alex is ex elite military and now had his own private security company. He lost someone on his last mission and hasn't been able to get past the grief. He hides behind work and women. When we meet him he is drowning in the darkness he thinks he created, but he meets Ella that night and its an intense moment for them both. Ella is in the states looking for a property to open get second store when she has one night with Alex. What they didn't expect was to see each other again. Alex is tasked with being Ella 's bodyguard. This is a moment where they either fight the chemistry or give in. What do you think they will do when they have to see each other everyday?

    Bound to me is about two people finding their way to a second chance with a little action thrown in too. I love the storyline but it slows down toward the middle. Alex is alpha, funny, sexy, protective but he swims in guilt. Ella is sweet, funny, and has a beautiful heart. Together they are intense but Alex can't see through the past to give them a future. Ella's strength is the key to helping them through and I love them both. Great story if you are looking for a new series to sink you teeth into.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good 4 Star Read

    This was an enjoyable read that is the first in a series of connected characters.

    Alex is a man tortured by his past and the decisions he made. Through flashbacks we see what made Alex that man we meet, he’s closed off emotionally and just generally drifting through his life.

    Ella is the sister of a successful film star, she’s young and has a reputation for being impulsive who trouble follows her. I liked Ella she’s funny has more backbone than people realise and underneath the facade she presents she’s a strong young woman.

    I liked the story it has a good mix of fun drama and sexual chemistry, I felt at times the dialogue was a little corny but it was still enjoyable.
