With Ties That Bind is available NOW! I loved Trisha Wolfe's first series from this world, so it comes as no surprise that I loved the beginning of Quinn and Avery's story too!
Title: With Ties That Bind: A Broken Bonds Novel, Book One
Author: Trisha Wolfe
Series: Broken Bonds Novel #1
Genre: Dark Romantic Thriller
This series is a spinoff of the Broken Bonds serial which must be read prior to beginning this first book. Contains spoilers to the Broken Bonds serial.
Detective Ethan Quinn has questions. The Arlington Slasher case is closed, the UNSUB no longer a threat—but Quinn can’t quiet the suspicion he harbors toward his partner and the young, attractive M.E. Not only does he loathe his uncertainty, he’s torn between doing his job and protecting his team.
But burying himself in cases no longer works. He’s restless. On edge. And tired of fighting his compulsions. Quinn has always viewed the law in black and white. Only now his world is swirling with a murky gray that threatens to devour him.
When lead medical examiner Avery Johnson careens toward a dangerous path, she pulls the unwitting detective into a dark web of deception and lust, triggered by a spree of recent killings.
Is this new player linked to the Bathory murders, or is it another copycat?
Time almost took Avery from him once before. As the clock ticks, Quinn will stop at nothing to protect her, refusing to let Avery become a victim again. Against his uncompromising logic, Quinn can’t deny his feelings. Avery forces him to acknowledge his darker desires, tempting his control—which weakens with every second he spends with the feisty M.E. as they hunt down the perpetrator threatening to tear them apart.

Quinn was a character that I loved in the With Visions of Red books. He was passionate about his job and would do anything to protect those that are part of his team. When I saw that he was getting his own books I was so excited! And with Avery… *fist pump*… With Ties That Bind was a clever and intense read that I eagerly devoured and now I’m impatiently waiting for more!
Quinn was just like I remembered, but now I got to see the softer side to him. His feelings for Avery have been there for some time and he constantly wants to protect her. He’s very good at his job, and will do anything to get to the bottom of his most recent case.
Avery has found it a little hard to readjust to life after what happened to her. She is physically alright, but she has scars, both inside and out, and she has lost a lot of confidence with herself when it comes to intimacy. She has developed something to help her, but she soon realises it is linked to Quinn’s latest case.
I enjoyed how the story unravelled and the connection between Quinn and Avery slowly strengthened. I thought the last unsub was twisted, but he was a small fish that was obsessed! The Alpha in With Ties That Bind cares nothing about people and has no problem about getting his hands dirty and sacrificing those who displease him. It was a thrilling read, with a superb storyline, with characters I cannot get enough of.

This was just what Avery needed!!
“Fuck, Avery. I just need you.”
“Touch me,” I say, the only response I can give him.
He doesn’t hold back. Not this time. Quinn consumes my senses; his masculine scent of cologne and leather, his rough hands adding friction to all the right places. And unlike before, when he barely allowed himself near me, he now ravishes me with a punishing voracity meant to tear down all obstacles.
