This book had me all up in my feels! I hated Jason at first but by the end I actually kind of liked him…. Was hoping for a redemption arc 😃
And I love Lyla and Roman together they’re cute.
The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! I’m excited to read the next book I hope to see them in it.

I loved the story, I think this author has great potential! The main issue I had was the typos, it felt like every page had some missing or weird punctuation and half the time character's thoughts were in italics and the other half, not. It was distracting but still an entertaining read :)

Read this book in 4 hours because I had to know what happened! Looking forward to #2. Hoping we see Lyla and Roman in them.

I LOVED this book so so much. The twists and turns throughout the entire thing kept me on the very edge of my seat, making it so hard to put the book down. At first, I hated Jason and felt for Lyla. Then I found myself hating Lyla and feeling for Jason (Avery). The little old woman that saved him was the sweetest soul ever, she reminded me of my grandma and it added so much personalism into the storyline. THE ENDING THOUGH? His partner? That threw me for the biggest loop ever, thank God for Roman. Id love to read more about Roman and Lylas life after the event!

I have 3 kids, and an incredibly hectic life. Some days I don’t find time to brush my hair, but I am finding time to read this book! The writing is incredible. The author makes you adore some characters, and absolutely hate others. Most of my day is filled with work and kids, and I’m constantly trying to find just a few minutes to sneak in a couple more pages. I can’t wait to finish and answer all the questions I have swirling around in my mind. It’s a great read, and I look forward to more from the author!

The Shattered Reflection by Cynthia Poulos is an amazing mix of suspense, romance, and seriously spicy moments that kept me hooked the whole time. The characters felt so real, like I was right there with them. Just when I thought I had the story figured out, the twist completely caught me off guard. If you’re looking for a story that keeps you guessing while pulling at your heartstrings, this one’s definitely worth a read!

I absolutely loved this book. The characters are so beautifully broken and the steamy bits had me hot under the collar.

It’s definitely unique with a few twists. Great first book the author wrote, that I couldn’t wait to read each night because of the suspense, mystery and romance. Can’t wait until book 2!
