The Ties That Bind (Miss Taken Identity Book 3) Kindle Edition
Dominick Kane kidnapped his enemy's daughter. He had no idea that his victim would be the one woman to capture his empty heart, but she did.
It’s been one full year since the kidnapping that brought Dominick and Rain together. In that time, they struggled with many emotions and fought constant obstacles. They discovered new identities, faced ghosts from their pasts and attacks against their family, that to this day remain unsolved.
Yet, regardless of the unexpected challenges, some self-inflicted, Dominick and Rain always knew that their undying love for each other had gotten them through everything.
But then… the unimaginable happened.
Dominick was arrested.
The charge?
The apparent kidnapping of his wife, Rain Medici.
Now, the couple faced a whole new set of challenges. Challenges that brought their pasts forward once again and others which forced each of them to examine who they really were and what they had become.
Dominick and Rain’s future hung in the balance. They were in the fight of their lives. Would it make them even stronger than before? Or would the delicate threads that held them together…in the end, ultimately pull them apart?

About the Author
In 2012, Cleo began writing Miss Taken (book one in the Miss Taken Identity Series). Miss Taken was published in 2013 and Identity (book two in the series) in 2014, with The Ties That Bind completing the series in 2016. Within Six Months; a Wild Roses Novel, is the first of four standalones in this spin-off series to Miss Taken Identity, and was published in 2018. Cleo was also honored to be a part of This Beautiful Escape, an anthology published in November of 2015. All of the proceeds for This Beautiful Escape will go to the Ataxia Awareness Fund, Canada.
In addition, Cleo is working on several other titles for the coming year, including one Contemporary Romance with a Haunting Twist. She is a proud member of RWA and the New Jersey Romance Writers, and she is a Senior Columnist for Literary Lovers Magazine.
Cleo loves bringing stories and characters that will make you laugh, cry, love, hate and maybe become slightly crazy about. Let's face it, we can all use some crazy now and then. When she,s not writing, she's spending time with her family, friends and her 90lb. Dobie, Brayden. Cleo enjoys reading romance novels and books about Italy; listening to 80's metal bands, watching movies from Hollywood's Golden Age, and of course, squishing her feet in the sand down at the Jersey Shore every chances she gets.

About the author
Cleo Scornavacca, L.E., C.C.N., is an award-winning Romance Author, and Screenwriter.
Her love of reading, and writing came early on, and continued at her first job in a town pharmacy, where she was thrilled to be the one to order the paperbacks the store carried, but nearly couldn't breathe the first time she was told to "rip the covers off the books", to return them to the vendor, when some were left in stock.
Cleo's debut novel, Miss Taken, was published in 2013, followed by Identity, book two, and The Ties That Bind, the final novel in the series. Cleo's working on her second series called The Wild Roses. Each book in this series features the secondary characters from Miss Taken. Within Six Months, book one, is published, and book two, Soul Surfers, will be released in 2023.
She is also working on a new romance series with a haunting twist, and has joined the team at Hennion Productions, as a co-writer on a film project, A FEW FAR YEARS FROM NOW.
Cleo is a member of the New Jersey Romance Writers (NJRW) organization, and Passionate Ink.
Cleo was born and raised in New Jersey, and lives in the Garden State with her family, who includes a 90lb Doberman named Brayden.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful ending to Cleo Scornavacca’s amazing Miss Taken/Identity Series.
I loved that we got to see both Rain and Dominic grow into their roles as parents. It was nice to see them go from flawed and sometimes misguided singles into a loving, married couple whose kids became their life/world. They would stop at nothing to protect them and I like that the author showcased that.
It’s not often in a romance novel that I am brought to tears not because of the hero and heroine but because of the special relationship that Rain shared with her best friend Tommy. I just loved the relationship they shared and I was happy that the author chose to explore that type of platonic relationship between friends where what they share from book 1 through to 3 was a real and genuine friendship.
I loved that we got to see both Dominic and Rain grow as a couple. In the end, they had come full circle and I finally felt in my gut that they would make it as a couple and they would be okay.
Overall thoughts, I love the Miss Taken/Identity Series by Cleo Scornavacca. I thought she did a fantastic job of introducing us to obviously two imperfect people and taking us through their journey where they didn’t end up perfect (None of us are) but managed to find a perfect love in their crazy and imperfect world.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2017Miss Taken is the third and final book in the Miss Taken Identity Series.
In The Ties That Bind it’s been a whole year since the kidnapping and Dominick and Rain are together and happy but all that's about to change when Dominick is arrested. Their future together hangs in the balance as they fight against their pasts but are they strong enough to come through it all and finally get their HEA or is it all about to be torn apart.

I did tear up a bit when it came to Tommy and Rain.
Overall this is a good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2017The conclusion of the story between Raine and Dominic. Secrets are revealed and the story tied up all the lose ends from the first 2 books.
Although the writing the grammar and editing issues improved, Dominic's characters came off as a bit of an idiot.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2016The Ties That Bind brings full circle the story of Rain and Dominick. The story starts in Miss Taken where Dominick kidnaps Rain to get revenge on her father and his law firm. The story continues in Identity where Dominick and Rain find she is pregnant and they marry. Rain's father is attacked and Rain is attacked. Rain is trying to investigate who is attacking her family. Dominick trying to control rain to keep her safe.
Simply put but the story of Rain and Dominick is very complicated with plot twists and emotions. Cleo Scornavacca writes a love story with a very unusual start. There is a large cast of characters, family, friends and villains. She weaves a story that keeps you guessing and pulls at your emotions.
I look forward to her upcoming books.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2017I absolutely love this series and The Ties that Bind leaves the series on an amazing ending. I fell so deeply in love with these characters and watching them grow as individuals and couples and friends was written so well I feel as if I am there with them. I hate to see the series end but all good things must come to an end right? Family is everything. Even when there are so many twists and turns and betrayal and loss. Thank you Cleo for making these characters such a part of my life.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016Cleo Scornavacca you had me hooked from the first book And not ones was I desappointed with the series. I will miss reading about Rain and Dominic but I am looking forward to Tommys story and furture books that you are working on.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016Rain finally step up taking over her life and one thing you never won't to do is miss around with her family. She takes it personally. After repeatedly told by her dad and husband let them deal with it. She didn't and got everything behind their backs. High five to rain for doing it. She found out who tried to damage her family. After all said and done now they all get happy ending now.
Now it's time for them to move on from all the lies, secrets.
I received a copy for an honest review

Series: Miss Taken Identity #3
Genre: romance
Rating: *
I can clearly see that I am in the minority here but I just did not get on with this series. The lives of these characters are full to the brim of drama and angst, much of which does nothing to advance the plot but only serves to complicate it further. Rain and Dominick’s relationship has developed since the first instalment, but it seems that rather than developing into strength, it has developed through lies and deceit, and copious amounts of forgiveness and bickering, and just seems toxic to me. I’m all for an alpha but Dominick is the most petulant, controlling prick I’ve ever read about, and Rain is about as useful and feisty as a wet paper bag (though she clearly has the patience of a saint).
More than anything, this was a very, very long read, especially for a romance book. But this was not due to plot, rather because the characters are repeating every single occurrence to multiple characters at different times, and it really does feel like we are being told (repeatedly), not shown, what is going on.
I’m glad these characters finally have their happily ever after; honestly, they deserve each other, especially after everything they have been through! Fans of the series will be satisfied with this ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Star Read
Fully enjoyed reading more about Rain and Dominick story and how far they come from book's 1&2. Didn't see the twist that was shunted on them following the Dominick's arrest and Rain coming to the rescue. Loved all the characters and could of happily read more.
