About the author

I am a shameless romance addict with no intentions of ever kicking the habit. Growing up I dreamed of entertaining people and taking them on fantastical journeys with my acting abilities, until I came to the realization as a college sophomore that I had none to speak of. Another ten years would pass before I discovered a different means to accomplishing the same dream: writing stories of love and passion for addicts just like me.I have always loved romance stories and I try to tie all the elements I like about them into my writing.

* I received this book in exchange for an honest review *

Damaged is the second book in the trilogy of Amelia Rose's Rancher Romance.
Darrell is the quiet and youngest McKenna brother who suffers a life changing injury at the beginning of Damaged. Megan comes into his life to help him through this time and the sparks fly between them.
I really enjoyed this book as the characters are well defined. I found the relationships between the brothers and Darrell after returns home from the hospital to be authentic and well written.
Amelia Rose is very talented at drawing you in as one of the family. She shows the different dynamics of each brother so well that I then bought Silver River Romeo and Reunion to read Cole and Marshall's stories.
I feel that the book was a little short though but overall, a very enjoyable read.

I really liked reading this story, well-paced and with believable characters and credible and realistic reactions.
I appreciated the kind of shy (he blushes), quiet but very determined and strong hero and the fact that the heroine, going against expectations and stereotypes, is the one who doesn't want commitment.
The misunderstanding about the hero's alleged suicide attempt was really very well handled. I'm making this point because misunderstandings are many times the weaker part of romance plots.
