My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound by Secrets is the 2nd book in Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops series. It is pretty similar theme as the 1st book. I really love these books, and cannot wait for them to merge into the Gray Ghosts series. While you do not have to read in order, you really should read book 1 as well, because they are both great. This story focuses on Jaxon, another Hale brother, and Kayla. Kayla is escaping a bad relationship, one she nearly died from. Upon returning back home, she runs into her childhood crush. Despite her feelings for him, he is the best person to stay with, and keep her safe. The characters both have good backstory and their chemistry is great. I love that they have a history and are friends before lovers. McKinley is so good at keeping things a secret, and keeping the readers hooked throughout. I did not piece together all the pieces of this puzzle until the very end. I did not see in coming, much like book one. I highly recommend this story, and cannot wait to read book 3, which I imagine tells the story of the last Hale brother.

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops, #2) by Amy McKinley was a great 5 star read.

Kayla is in a relationship that takes a dark turn and she runs, she’s done but she knows he won’t give up on her that easily. She goes home but she knows she has to stay alert. When she sees Jaxon old feelings come back.

Jaxon was Kayla’s brother’s best friend and she was off limits. But when they finally gave in to their feelings tragedy hit and that was the one and only night they had. Now that she is back in town he is determined to never lose her again. He agrees to her staying with him and they quickly discover they still have the chemistry and attraction from before.

Overall this was a great read. I felt like I had several different stories going on. We have several twists and turns. There was an even bigger twist towards the end that totally threw me off and had me thinking WTH. All of the characters added a great element to the story. We get a couple of steamy moments. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

Bound By Secrets is the 2nd book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. I have been a huge fan of Amy McKinley’s writing since I first read the Gray Ghost series and I always love when she releases a new book for me to indulge in. I had loved the first book in the Deadly Isles series Twisted Secrets and was looking forward to reading more about the Hale Brothers.
In this book we get the story of former Navy SEAL Jaxon Hale and his former best friend’s sister Kayla Kane. Jaxon and Kayla had spent one night together as teens and hasn’t seen Jaxon since she moved away following the death of her brother. Now he has Kayla back in his life Jaxon is going to do everything he can to make sure that she doesn’t ever leave him again.
I loved Jaxon and Kayla’s story. It’s a fantastic second chance romance with a lot more thrown in. Amy McKinley’s stories are always full of danger, intrigue, mystery and passion and Bound By Secrets is a fantastic example of her amazing storytelling talents. She has the amazing knack of being able to grab you straight away with the story and keep you gripped and entertained right up to the very end.
I’ve given every book of hers I’ve ever read 5 stars and this will be no different. This book is definitely worth the 5 stars. Highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bound By Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 2) by Amy McKinley has secrets, tragedy, an abusive ex-boyfriend, family relationships, and some twisted logic in the part of one character. This book is about Jaxson a recently retired Navy Seal and Kayla who finds herself in an abusive relationship and runs away to hide. Jaxson and Kayla have unresolved feeling for each other from when they were kids. The night they finally got together as teens, Kayla’s brother died in a tragic accident and things got kind of messy. Although Kayla was holding onto a lot of anger and hurt, she reaches out to Jaxson for help with Roy and how much danger she is in.

The story is well written and kept my attention. Jaxson and his brothers were in the first book so it was nice to have that background. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. This book has my two favorite genres, second chance and military romance. This storyline exceeded all my expectations. This is the second book of the addictive series of Deadly Isles Special Ops. They don’t need to be read in order but there are previous characters in this story as well. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down until the end and I can’t wait to read the next book.

Kayla Kane leaves her abusive boyfriend and she has to lay low. She finds herself back in her childhood city. Kayla starts to think about her brother that died in an accident that was never solved. She is shocked when she sees her high school lover, Jaxon. Kayla can’t help but to have feelings for him but he broke her heart. She doesn’t want to get hurt again but she needs his help. Kayla knows her ex is watching her and sooner or later she will be in danger. Will Kayla and Jaxon be able to heal from the past or will there be more secrets that will ruin it all?

I couldn’t pick this book up fast enough after reading the first in this series and absolutely loving it! I enjoyed this one almost as much, McKinley’s writing style is so easy to read and her writing just flows effortlessly which makes for a really relaxing reading experience, despite the fact the plots are so fast paced and thrilling.

This plot was less thrilling that Twisted Secrets for me personally, which is the only reason I have given a lower rating than the previous book. I – again – really enjoyed reading about Jason and Kayla and I thought Jaxon’s character in particular was very well explored. I would have enjoyed a little more background on Kayla. Having said that, I loved the storyline involving her and Kieran. And the final paragraph of the book genuinely brought tears to my eyes and really moved me.

I think if you want a book that has lots of twists, some steamy romance scenes and a thrilling plot then Amy McKinley is definitely a good author to get to know. I will absolutely be continuing this series and cannot wait to see what the characters will have to face next.

The whole time, you think you know who is after Kayla and what is going to happen. But Amy McKinley throws a big twist your way that you won’t see coming! This story works well as a stand alone book, but it also makes you want to read more about the Hale brothers.

Bound by Secrets is the second novel in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. It is an intense story, following Kayla, who is running away from an abusive ex and also offered a second chance with her childhood crush.

Kayla Kane is back in town visiting her parents after running away from her life. While visiting the local coffee shop to get her caffeine fix, she runs into her brother’s best friend and her childhood crush.

Jaxon is Xander’s brother from the first Deadly Isles Special Ops novel. He is currently trying out being a cop after being honorably discharged out of the Navy SEALS. Running into Kayla is just the opportunity he needs to revisit the past and try to win her back.

I love the characters of this series and the build up to Tyler’s story in novel three. The intensity and twist at the end were amazing! A very well written book!

This is book two in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series and it does not disappoint at all. There should be a trigger warning in the beginning of this book concerning domestic abuse.
The characters are well developed and have realistic quality to then. This second chance/brothers best friend romance will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Jason and Kayla have a history both bad and good. Can they forget the past or at least come to accept the past and move on?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The beginning I had a few problems with while reading. There is issue between Kayla and her ex seemed weird and not natural. Four months isn’t long and their whole situation just didn’t flow or fit. Maybe more time spent on that would have made it and her fear more believable. Second hugging and all up in Jax’s business at the first meeting?? I mean ten years is a long time and they had one night together…that just seemed rushed as well.

Otherwise it’s a good story. I liked getting to know Kayla and her troubles (not current). While I empathized with Kayla she is all over the map emotionally. Too much. Jaxon is a strait forward guy who has held secrets for years.
This has some surprising moments. I was shocked over some and expected others. It was artfully done to make everything difficult to figure out.

Prepare to be up all night with this one, I was held from page one. Very well written and is an amazing suspenseful romantic story full of secrets, twists and turns.
Kayla is a free lance writer, who is on the run from an abusive partner. She is desperate for a place to stay and stays with her brother’s best friend. Also, who is an old flame. Jaxon is retired from the Navy and temporarily employed as a police officer, filling in for Kayla’s father. The chemistry between these two characters definitely jumps off the pages and you will be rooting for them. Most certainly will not be the last book I’ve read by this author. Eager to read the next book in this series.

Don’t judge a book by its cover alone. While the cover has a great eye catcher, its the blurb that gets you more interested in the novel. While reading this novel, I kept thinking that it is so far from a typical romance novel based on the cover. It has action, sadness, regret, you name it. While the male character may be on the front of the novel, it’s female character that really pulls you in. Who doesn’t like reading about a fragile yet strong female? Amy McKinley is a talented and superb author and her Deadly Isles Op series is just as great.

Bound by Secrets (Deadly Isles Special Ops Book 2) by Amy McKinley was a story full of suspense and a dash of romance. There are so many adventures and so many twists.

Kayla ran away from her abusive ex boyfriend and ran to the arms of the person she least expected. Jaxon who assumed he would never get a second chance. The secret that stands between them would they ever get a chance to work things out?

The unknown and the thriller excited me in every chapter. The love story that blossoms in the book drove my desire to finish it that much quicker. Putting the book down was near impossible.

This is the second book in the series and it’s just lovely how we get to know the story of another character from the first book.

Bound By Secrets is the second book in the Deadly Isles Special Ops series by Amy McKinley. As with all Ms. McKinley’s work, this is really well-written- a fantastic romantic suspense story full of secrets, heartache, pain, guilt, anger, angst, danger, violence, drama, chemistry, sizzle, intrigue, tension, mystery, action, twists and turns, and second chances.
Kayla desperately needed a place to stay, somewhere safe where she wouldn’t be found by her abusive ex- so that’s how she comes to be staying with Jaxon Hale, her brothers’ best friend. But Jaxon and Kayla have a history together- one weighed by heartache, pain, and loss. The budding possibility that began to bloom, was destroyed in one foul swoop- leaving them both longing, all this time, for what could have been. Sharing his home together brings old feelings and memories bubbling to the surface- and complicates matters even more. With danger circling, and secrets being exposed- not to mention their simmering chemistry adding to all the tension- things take an intense turn- with the story holding me firmly in its grip right till the very last word.
Loving this series! Can’t wait to see where we go from here. Bring on Book #3!

Thank you, Amy McKinley!

This was a great read. This book was full of emotion, suspense, danger, secrets revealed, and a second chance at love. I love this author so getting my hands on this series is a no brainer because I know she will always give me a great story. It is my suggestion that you read the first book in this series before reading this one. Kayla is trying to get away from an abusive relationship and isn’t sure who to turn to until she runs into Jaxon, her brother’s best friend. She hasn’t seen him since her brother’s funeral but she still loves and he still loves her. Can these two find a way to get past the hurt from the past for a second chance.

Bound by Secrets is the second book in Amy McKinley’s Deadly Isles Special Ops book series and if you’re going to read any book series, make it one of this author’s. I started Bound By Secrets immediately after book one (Twisted Secrets) and of course I wasn’t disappointed. The storyline focuses on two different main characters but if you read the previous book, some you are no stranger to.
Amy McKinley is excellent at giving you dream worthy military (or ex military men) and every storyline has an element of suspense which I will never turn down.
I think my favorite thing about this book, or even the author’s writing in general, is that she always hits me emotionally when I wasn’t expecting to be. Both Kayla and Jaxon are enjoyable characters and I really enjoyed watching the growth throughout the book. If you’re looking for a romance with intrigue, suspense, a strong storyline and lovable characters, I definitely recommend this 5 star read.

As soon as I finished the first book in this Deadly Isles Special Ops Series from Amy McKinley, I knew I was hooked and needed to read all the words in any future books to come. For me personally I would read the first book, Twisted Secrets, before diving into this one. There is a steady storyline that does play throughout this book as well and I felt as if it just made things that much more enjoyable for me as the story progressed. This one shares more of Jaxon and Kayla’s story that may have left you wondering how things turned out in book one. You will get all the answers here. This book will destroy you at times and you will want to make sure you have a large box of kleenex, at least I did. I love how McKinley brings the characters to life so vividly that you feel as if you are there. It is present in all her novels but I do have to say this one series is shaping up to be my absolute favorite of hers. I can’t wait to see what will come next!

This book was awesome. I love this series. I cannot wait until the next one. I will honestly read anything Amy Mckinley writes. This book was Jaxon and Kayla’s story. How their romance started… ended… and why. It was a heartbreaking story but written so beautifully. Jaxon is the oldest of the Hale brothers. He is a former navy seal and currently helping the police captain by covering while he recovers from surgery. Kayla has found herself in an abusive relationship and needs to get clear of that situation ASAP. It was perfectly written.

Amy Mckinley is starting to become one of my top authors, i have enjoyed so many of her books lately. And this was no different. It is the second book in the deadly ops series but can be read as a stand alone but there is mention of characters from the first book as they are all linked, so i do recommend starting with book 1 first. This is a second chance romance Kayla and Jaxon have history when they are kids but move on, Kayla has no one else to turn after her brother Kieran dies and she needs to get away from her abusive boyfriend, she goes to the one person she feels safe with her brothers best friend Jaxon. This is not what Jaxon expected to ever happen, but the pull between them is too strong. Can he save her?
