Obedience (Ties That Bind)Obedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cassandra is young, but her life has been hard. framed with tragedy she has worked incredibly hard despite her losses to be able to audition and train with her idle Chandler in the Silks as an arielist, but she gets a lot more than she bargains for with Chandler Morrow.
Cassandra and Chandler both have lived their own share of horrific tragedy and trauma and have a lot of baggage, but the chemistry is undeniable between them, and the narration in the book makes it even better. Can these two get out of their own way and move past all the interference from everyone else to be together, or is life planning to destroy them as well. Will the secrets be too much? It appears the circus has a lot more going on than meets the eye!
The ending of this book…oh my! I can’t wait until these two finally unravel the secrets they’ve held from one another because it is going to be .. mmm more explosive than the ending of this book… if that’s possible. well done!!

Cirque for your auditory pleasure!

4/5 stars

Oh my goodness! This is a unique romance with a sexy little circus theme. The beginning scene with the description of him “making her his own butterfly,” was steamy and just invites you in for more. The story is good. I found the characters to be strong and written to bring you into the story. It’s not your typical romance. Now, hearing this in auditory takes it up a notch and it’s hot, sexy and gives the suspense a whole new feel. I loved the touch that the narrators gave it. It is fantastic in audible and by book.

Can I start by saying? UNBELIEVABLE! That is the only word for this story. Cassandra is young but her life experiences make her sound so much older. The time has come, she wants to make her dreams come true. What a battle she is about to enter. Chandler is very talented and is  teaching students about silk aerialists for Cirque De Lys. While he did not want to be teaching, his father gave him no choice. Now that Cassandra shows promise Chandler is having second thoughts. Here you will find romance, suspense and some extremely hot scenes. No Spoilers in this review. The author who wrote this book is top notch! I found it hard to stop reading, as the story heated. Her wording builds a clear picture of all events in this story. Also I am pleased that I got the book in audible. I was able to sit back and listen, as I watched the story play in my mind. So worth every amount of time spent on this book. I am looking forward to the next book in this outstanding series.

I am ready to fall in line and obey Chandler’s commands!  Daaaaaaannnnnngggg!!  This book is on fire.  My ears are still warm and I finished hours ago.  I am so frazzled about where the book ended.  How could he do that?  

 

There are so many unanswered questions.  So much I wanna know.  I don’t care if this series is 2 or 20 books, I am wrapped up just like Cassandra in the silks.  I need to know.  How involved is her uncle?  What is actually in the bag that the thief wanted?  Will Chandler believe Cassandra when she tells him the truth?  They were so close to having that conversation before things went crazy.  Will Jean get away from  and away with everything?  Will Chandler and Cassandra make a new life together and walk away from his family?  

 

Beautifully and sensually written.  The way Cassandra describes the feeling of soaring, falling, and being in the silks is amazing.  Not sure if the experience would have been different if I read it versus listened, but the book is a feast for the senses.  The description of colors, smells, tastes and so much add to the delight of reading this amazing thriller!!  

 

I can only hope that the next one is as delicious, fantastic, and pleasurable as this one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Intriguing story…enjoyable with romance, danger, drama, shibari, angst between Chandler and Cassie with an age gap (which I love)…I am already looking forward to book 2.

After Cassie suffers the unthinkable when losing her parents, she grows up knowing she wants to be a silk aerialist going to a prestigious school to learn from the best. Little did Cassie know she meets
Chandler Moreau and all she wants to do not only learn from him but also be with him.

Chandler is part of the Moreau Academy and highly affluential. With a nagging injury and also going through a divorce…. His focus is all about Cassie and taking her under his wing. This takes a turn when Chandler introduces Cassie to shibari… and the intense sizzle between them is undeniable.

With both Cassie and Chandler having these dark pasts that threaten them at every turn…can they overcome and build any relationship?

Great audiobook, great storyline and narrators to the story… cannot wait to see what happens next.

Obedience gripped me from the first page and never let go! I absolutely loved every bit of this adventure, and I’m planning on listening to the audiobook for an immersive experience. Trust me, after you read it, you will want all the different variations you can get. There is plenty of tension, especially in the first half of the book, but there is plenty of suspense and steam as well. Cassandra grew up watching and wanting a master aerialist named Chandler. What she didn’t know was that she would get the chance to fly with him…among other things. Chandler was always looking for someone he could relate to and teach his passion of performing acrobatics in the circus. When he finds exactly that in Cassandra, it takes him by surprise when he falls so deeply for her. Will they bend with the pressure, or will they break from their dark history? I can’t believe I have to wait another 6 months for book two because I am fiending for it already! I highly recommend picking this up and reading (or listening!) because it is absolutely amazing!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cassandra has wanted to perform with Cirque de Lys ever since she was a child and first saw her idol Chandler performing his aerialist routine. From that moment she vowed that she would do whatever it took to be a silk aerialist and join the circus. When Cassandra’s dreams come true, and Chandler becomes her mentor she realizes that she cannot live without him. Chandler soon realizes that Cassandra means more to him than just being one of his students. On the surface it seems that fate has brought them together but what they do not realize is that something far more sinister is at play. Their lives have become intertwined, and they both have demons from their past that they are trying to escape from. Can they shake the shackles of their dark pasts to have a bright future?

This is an interesting story about romance between a student and her mentor. The borderline obsession that Cassandra had for her childhood idol Chandler turns from admiration to passion, then to romance, and ultimately to love. The age gap between Cassandra and Chandler was interesting and did not seem plausible until many years had passed. The book took an interesting plot twist when it was discovered that there were sinister elements at play, and they were brought together for a reason. Danger and suspense lurk under the surface as both Cassandra and Chandler try to escape demons from their past. It seems they both have secrets they have been hiding from the other that could put their lives in danger. The book ends on a cliff-hanger which sets you up for the second book in the series. I cannot wait to follow the further adventures of Cassandra and Chandler to see what deep dark secrets they are hiding.

The thing about this book that captured my attention was the description of the student-teacher relationship. Cassandra has admired Chandler basically her whole life. She followed his acrobatic career in the circus. When she gets the chance to work with him as her mentor, she quickly begins absorbing information from his knowledge and experience. Chandler knew from his first glance at Cassandra that he wanted to be the one to show her the silks used in his circus act. Their feelings for each other quickly develop beyond a mere professional relationship. However, tension follows them as they both are keeping secrets from each other. I didn’t realize until the end of the story that this is actually the start of the series, but I feel like the story Ms. Snow penned wraps up the introduction to Cassandra and Chandler’s lives. It also left enough of a cliffhanger that I am excited to read the next book. There are some spicy bits, that enhance the story in my opinion.

This was a lengthy book to read, but I felt that it was justified. The build-up was extremely well done and had me panting at some scenes. Cassandra had a dream. A dream to be one of the greatest aerialists in the world, even after she has lost both of her parents. She is taken under Chandler’s wing at the Dreamers Academy, and sparks fly between the both of them. The student/teacher forbidden trope was well written and has me wanting more! The plot twists were not was I expecting and had me rereading what I just read just to make sure I had read it correctly. I am waiting with bated breath on the next book to see where the story goes, after that terrible cliffhanger.

3 Stars

 

Obedience is the first book in the Ties That Bind series by Liza Snow. It is a romantic suspense with an age gap, forbidden, dark, teacher/student trope, tension, slow-burn, chemistry, circus theme, mystery, steam, areal performers, Shibari binding, opposites attract, drama, and angst.
This is a story of longing, obsession, and obedience. A childhood outing to the circus sets off a yearning that soon borders on obsession. Turning from fan to protégé, past to present, darkness into danger- all while fulfilling fantasies. There are plenty of ingredients to make this a captivating read. But it is quite a slow-burn, which at times was very frustrating. Along with the fact that some of the transitions were quite abrupt, which invariably ‘pulled me out of the story’ every time it happened- making for a bit of a turbulent read. I also felt like the last third of the story was really drawn out and I found it hard to ‘stay immersed in the story’ and keep my mind from wandering. This book also ends on a cliffhanger- so everything is set to continue in the next instalment.
I did find the premise and characters intriguing, so I will need to read the next book to see where we go from here…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Liza Snow!

Obedience
By: Liza Snow

I truly loved this book. I have only read a few books that take place in a circus and every time I forget just how enchanting and complicated of a setting that is. In this story, Cirque de Lys is its own world and as the reader you are completely sucked into and captivated by it, at least I was. This world is full of suspense and twists and turns as well as an absolutely spellbinding romance. It includes super steamy scenes that it is easy to get lost in. This is definitely a book that builds up to its burn but when its over, you are dying for the next book. I know that I cannot wait to reenter the world of Cirque de Lys again.

When I first chose this book I didn’t realise it was as long as it was, which is great but I still wanted more, the second book can’t come fast enough!

I thought the setting of a circus was different and certainly a unique setting for the type of romance which starts to bloom.
The author’s descriptive writing made it easy to picture the scenery and I got caught up in the atmosphere which was created. The writing flowed well and make the book a lot more enjoyable.

I loved that this isn’t just a straightforward romance, there is mystery and suspense which really adds to the story. The cliffhanger just increases my impatience in my need for the next book to be released.

There is SO much romance, drama, and suspense in this one book alone! You’ve got Cassandra, who has grown up to one day, become an aerialist like her inspiration, Chandler Monroe. She ends up meeting and working with him at the Dreamers Academy, and there is really where their true story unfolds. I truly kept myself at the end of my chair reading this and couldn’t stop. I’m so glad I found this book, and can’t wait to read the next!

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I enjoyed reading this forbidden romance story. A story where a teacher-student relationship turns into something more. What will happen when the past comes to the present? When fate steps in for these two characters, you never know what could happen. I enjoyed how the author used details to make the story realistic. I had no problems connecting to the characters as they pulled me into their world. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout as well as the chemistry between them. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story. A well written story that is easy and entertaining. A story that you don’t want to miss for sure. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

This is my first audio book by this author.  I enjoyed what the narrators brought to the story.  They brought the story to life on each page by changing their tones.  This is a story  where a teacher-student relationship turns into something more.  When fate steps in for these two characters, you never know what could happen.  This is a realistic story with connectable characters that create romance like no other. A story that you don’t want to miss for sure.  I really enjoyed listening to this story and I highly recommend it.  I can’t wait to pick up the next audio by this author

This is the first book in the Ties That Bind series. This was a romance story but it was very unique for me in that it was set in the circus and was a romance between the mentor and his student. The author’s writing was so good I could actually picture the stunts that were being performed and the intense atmosphere around the performers. This romance is definately a slow burn but when it starts it is electric. The attraction has been there between Cassandra towards Chandler for as long as she can remember, so when she finally gets the position of learning under his guidance this is a dream come true for her.
However Chandler never thought for one minute he would fall for his student and with both of them having problems and secrets in their pasts the road to their romance will be anything but a smooth ride. The ending leaves you on a cliff hanger and I can’t wait to carry on reading.

This age-gap romance has a little bit of everything for everyone. Personally I could imagine how amazing it feels for Cassandra to finally be near her idol and as their connection grows it becomes such a rollercoaster of emotions you just have to hang on and hope you don’t fall.

3.5 stars
Forbidden fruit and all that in this dark student teacher romantic suspense story. The story is original and intriguing as Liza takes us a look into the world of Cirque du Lys and some bondage and the beautiful art of rope binding like Shibari.
The story is told in dual POV which gives you a better understanding of the characters and where they are coming from. Ties That Bind is full of heat and suspense. This sexy age gap new adult romance is full of emotions, with lots of angst and plenty of chemistry! The age gap is significant and the communication between them was the cause of many problems due to dark secrets.
She is plagued by a childhood tragedy and has always longed for something that for so long has been out of her reach. Now it is all in front of her and what she doesn’t know is their lives have been intertwined and there is a past that may just ruin them.
He knows it’s wrong, but he is drawn in like a moth to a flame. But with a past that is full of secrets that should never be exposed between them it is unlikely that love conquers all.
We are left with questions and a cliff hanger which I hope we get answers to in the next book.

Cassandra

Growing up, I was mesmerized by a man soaring the skies.

The greatest silk aerialist in the world, Chandler Moreau.

The day before my parents died, they took me to see his circus, and it was then I knew my fate was sealed.

I would do everything in my power to perform with them one day.

To perform with him.

Little did I realize, he would be far more than I’d ever imagined him being.

Far more than just a mentor.

He was a man I didn’t want to live without.

And someone I wanted to keep safe from a past that seemed to keep following me.

Chandler

My entire career, I’d been waiting for the right student to take under my wing.

A protégé with whom I could share my lifelong journey in the circus.

Little did I know it would be Cassandra Blackstone.

A woman who’d grown up admiring me from afar.

I never intended to fall in love with the student I was supposed to protect—from myself and the demons that lurked in my shadows.

But sometimes fate has other plans.

My grandfather’s taunting words still linger.

Mieux vaut plier que rompre.

Adapt and survive.

They weren’t just his adage but also unmistakably true.

A reminder that Cassandra and my shared history seemed to intertwine us more than the silks we’d spent our lives mastering ever could…
