Review: Tied by Carian Cole

 

Tyler Grace was many things.
A myth. An outcast. A hero.
My prince.


My childhood and innocence were stolen when I was kidnapped at five years old. For eleven years I clung to my childhood fairytale books, waiting for the prince I hoped would someday save me and carry me off to a happily ever after.

I had no idea my savior would come in the form of a scarred recluse, covered in tattoos, who can't--or won't--speak a word.

But the moment our eyes met I knew he was the one. My prince.

Tyler Grace is haunted by his tragic past and he's sentenced himself to a lifetime of solitude in the woods. He's as lost in society as I am; scarred just as much on the inside as the outside. Just like me.

He saved my life that day he found me and killed my captor with his bare hands. I was warned to stay away from him. But I can't stop thinking about him. I ache to hear his voice and see him smile. And I want nothing more than to be the one to break through his walls.

I think he's the only one who can break through mine, too.

Together we can have love, happiness, and a closeness that once felt impossible to have. But can we overcome the horrible twisted past that ties us together?


** Tied can be read as a single book, and has a happy ending


My Review


Tied
by Carian Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Remember to check your triggers, as we get glimpses of Holly during her captivity. That aside this book drew me and didn't let go. I loved their relationship, it started slow and grew as they did. This is also a slow burn but that didn't even phase me. When their shared past was revealed, I was shook.

Kidnapped at the age of five, Holly's childhood and innocence were stolen from her. She took comfort in the fairytale books she carried in her backpack for eleven years, waiting for her prince to save her.

The man who saved her was scarred, covered in tattoos, and didn't speak.

The moment their eyes met, she knew he was the one, her prince.

Tyler Grace is haunted by his tragic past. So he's punished himself to a life of solitude in the woods.

The day he found Holly, he killed her captor with his bare hands. She was warned to stay away from him. But she can't stop thinking about him. She knows they both are both scarred and she's sure he's the only one who truly understands her.

Together they can have everything that once once felt impossible. But can they escape the horrible past that binds them together?

Thanks so much to the author and Forever Publishing for this ARC to review.

  1. I know I'm super late in commenting, but I couldn't let this one slide by. Tied is my favorite from Carian Cole, and one of my favorite books, period. I loved Holly and Tyler's story so much! And that epilogue had me practically sobbing. So good! And I'm glad to see it was a 5 star read for you, too. :)
