**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**

This is the first time I have read Ryan Michele, with that said, even though this is a spin off series it was easy to follow along and can be read as a standalone.

Bound by Family was pretty slow moving for me in the beginning that I almost gave up. Once I got through the first few chapters it quickly picked up and once it took off it really took off. I really liked Bristyl. She's grown up in a MC environment, but always just on the outside. She still has that fierce loyalty about her. She's feisty and a bit sassy. Cooper has grown up in the life. He knows what is expected of him. When Bristyl finds herself in the middle of a situation she can't really get out of, Cooper steps in. He knows he probably shouldn't but can't help himself. With the odds stacked against them, can they make it work?

Cooper and Bristyl have amazing chemistry. I really enjoyed this read and look forward to more from this author. I definitively will be going back to start from beginning.
