Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Series Book 2) by Amy McKinley – Review by Sarah Devereaux

Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets, (Deadly Isles Special Ops #2) is the second book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series.
After reading the first book I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the second, and I was not in any way disappointed with the read. The author has done it again, bringing the characters to life and making you feel like you are sitting right there alongside them!
This second book in the series features Kayla Kane, a book reviewer, and Jaxon Hale former Navy SEAL. The two know each other well, he is her deceased brother’s best friend from high school, and she is the “kid” sister he never looked twice at until they shared a single night together after graduation. That night everything changed for both, and secrets were kept.
A decade later, Kayla is on the run from an abusive ex-boyfriend and needs a safe place to hide. Not wanting to risk her family’s lives, she runs into Jaxon and asks to borrow his spare room until she can get herself settled.
Sharing accommodations turns out to be more difficult that these two thought, and secrets are revealed that bring out hurt and pain but are the only way the 2 can move forward.
Just like the first, this book has many twists and turns. I enjoyed every turn it took and did not see what was coming, which is one of the things I love about this author! I also enjoyed that the characters from the first book popped in every once and a while to tie the series together. I thought this was a great way that the author was able to make the books a series without the same consistent characters. It really allows the reader to enter a new story with old favorites included.
Overall, this is a great suspense romance novel that I really enjoyed, and cannot wait to read the conclusion and find out what happens! I think I may have found a new favorite author!
