Synopsis

With a history like ours, the meaning of the word family tended to tangle into something unrecognizable. DNA and bloodlines didn’t tie us together, and neither did our last names. Various shades of grey blurred the branches of our twisted family tree.

I wasn’t her brother. They weren’t my parents. Not that it mattered… She was off limits. Portia was my friend. Then my foster sister. And she’d always be the love of my life.

My Review:

I know I say this all the time, but wow! I just love Stephie Walls! I have yet to find a book by her that I haven’t loved. Family Ties is a bit of forbidden romance and I love every page of it.

Jude and Portia have a bond like most people don’t understand. It’s a bond and love you feel down too your bones. Both are a little broken to begin with, tried to get through the motions of life, while feeling emotions towards each other that no one, not even themselves, fully understands.

My heart broke for them both, but especially Jude. Family Ties is not only about the relationship between the two, but the struggles and heartache Jude faces within himself. This book is a love story yes, but also a story about finding yourself after suffering a huge loss. Jude has definitely become one of my favorite characters from Stephie Walls.

Finding secondary characters in books is something I always love to look for. I loved Bart. I loved the relationship between him and Portia. It was sweet, heartfelt and so genuine. Ethan and Carter too!! I would LOVE to read about each of them finding love!! Especially Carter! He’s my favorite!!

An added plus of this book? That gorgeous cover!! Stephie always has such beautiful cover to go with her words.

Family Ties is a definite must read!

About the Author

Bestselling author, Stephie Walls is a lover of words—the more poetic the better. She lives on the outskirts of Greenville, South Carolina in her own veritable zoo with two dogs, three cats, the Mister, and Magoo (in no preferential order). She would thrive on coffee, books, and Charlie Hunnam if it were possible, but since it’s not, add in some Chinese food or sushi and she’s one happy girl.
