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.

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 live 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.

**** MY REVIEW ****
Family Ties by Stephie Walls
is the story of Jude and Portia. Both main characters ended up in foster
care at different points in their life. They ended up in the same foster home. Portia
was adopted but Jude came and went depending on his mother's health. Their
relationship went from a sort of sibling vibe to a forbidden relationship. I didn’t get a sibling vibe but more of a
good friends’ relationship that soon developed into a push/pull relationship.
They were there for one another when there were rough times and they developed
a deep bond. That bond was tested when outside influences were involved for
both of them. There is a chemistry that is deep between them and the sexual
tension is sizzling between Portia and Jude. How they each deal with grief is
different and that is one of the catayalst that causes deep tension between
them. Will they get the HEA that you know that they deserve or will the
deepening tension and angst cause a permanent break between these star crossed
lovers?
My Rating: 4.4 stars *****
