Lizzie Everyone thinks I’m a villain. Do you know how hard it is to interact with your peers when everyone hates you? I’ll tell you. It’s nearly impossible. So I escaped inside my mind, and that’s where I remained for years. Until a dragonfly brought an angel to my bedside and pulled me into reality. Now I can’t find my way back. That leaves me with two choices. One, to exist in a world that despises me. Two, throw my life away and join my fellow sinners on the other side. I chose the second option. Or so I thought.
JD I know what everyone says about her. That’s okay, because what people think of someone is just that … their thoughts. It’s a general rule of mine not to judge people solely by the thoughts of others. But don’t get me wrong, it’s clear as day she’s broken. And that, my friends, is what caught my attention. You see, I’m a collector of what others deem junk. I’ve been this way my whole life. One man’s trash is another’s treasure. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s going to be my most prized possession.
Broken Skulls is a dark romance, but I promise it does have a HEA. There is no cheating in this novel. It does contain dark content, including, but not limited to profanity, sexual abuse, and violence. It could possibly have triggers for some individuals.
LM Terry is simply a crazy Gemini, writing stories that contain both light and dark elements. Her novels will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. But when you get off, she promises it will be with a happy ever after. LM Terry lives in a small town in the heart of the United States. She is a wife, mother, and book lover. You will find her most days with her head in the clouds.
Okay we are back to the good stories again. No worries, turns out only the book before this one in the series was bad. I was very upset because I thought that’s was the last book of the series and I fucking hated, and what a sad way to end a series you love when the last book is bad right? But worry not it turns out that wasn’t the last book and THIS one I reallyyyyyyyy liked ! We have again the whole fate dragonfly storyline, we have again the possessive amazing brooding man, we have again the traumatic situation the girl is involved and if you follow the series you know it all revolves around sex trafficking, but this series is light on it, it doesn’t describe everything in details and it’s not spice. I know you are thinking that I am reading a non dark non spice series, that I must be sick! Hahahahhaha ! I’ve been following this series for a long time and I love it. Turns out JD became one of my favorite guy from the Skulls MC ! He is simply the best. I love everything about it, I loved how this book has the participation of the entire club and we get to see some of my favorite characters from the series and MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BADDIE EVER, JESSE ! She is AMAZING, FIERCE, STRONG AND CRAZY, I love her and I adored that we had some action from her. Also my second favorite girl KATIE also appeared here. Not to forget my favorite guys PETEY, DIRK, RAFFE and BIG DAN ! Also Jackson and Elijah 🖤 I love them ! Elizabeth as also a very good character. I loved everything about it. Scratch that, I didn’t like the parts Tank was in it, I hold a grudge against him from the book before. Does he deserve my wrath ? No. Is he a good guy? Yes. Do I still hold a grudge against him for the last book? YES. Did my animosity grow learning he was blind to what was happening with Elizabeth when they were married ? YESSSSS. Did I also get annoyed by his visible displeasure with Elizabeth’s presence there when he should’ve been ashamed ? Yessss a thousand times yes. Regardless I loved JD and Elizabeth, I love their story, their love and the friends group.
One of my favorite series. This book has some dark and heavy themes so do check out those trigger warnings. Loved both the FMC and MMC. Both were just *chefs kiss*. Can't wait for the next book.
4.4 stars. I just wanted a little more time with these characters. Then the ending was so abrupt. So obviously the start of the next book. It just ended up feeling incomplete.
There are those few books or series that burrow their way into your heart and soul. That live in your head and heart rent free Rebel Skulls Mc series is one of them for me.
I’ve read every book Linda has written and I’m never disappointed. She writes in a way that I’m transported into the stories. Making me run the gambit of feelings and emotions.
I have been mad at Lizzie for so long!!!!! This was her and JD’s story. I knew she would be redeemed but geez. The trauma and heartbreak both her and JD have endured. The way they love. The way the Skulls show up and show out in epic form. True to a rebel skulls love story I felt it all. I laughed , cried , yelled and am wholeheartedly obsessed. I can’t wait for what happens next.
You can read this book as a standalone. The author provides enough basic details that you won’t be lost, but you’ll be missing out on so much of the story. I highly recommend starting at the beginning of the series. There’s just something different about the MC series, it’s atypical and wonderful in its uniqueness. All of the books are dark, and this one is no different.
Ouch. I cried a LOT in this book. Not as much as I did in Billie Rose’s book…but pretty close. I’ve been waiting for JD to find a love for himself. He’s always been a bit closed off and slightly apart from the club, which made him extra interesting. JD runs a junkyard and with Lilly they make beautiful pieces of art from what others consider junk and broken things. JD loves broken things and finds them beautiful.
No one at this point is more broken than Lizzie/Elizabeth. Portrayed as the villain and the ex wife of Tank (previous book) she’s never let anyone know what broke her and why she appeared to be helping a previous horrible man. It’s her secret and her reason for everything. It becomes clear that she was victimized, brutalized, and hated by people over and over again to protect her secret.
JD sees her as a beautiful broken woman that he must have and save. So he somewhat kidnaps her…and the story goes from there. You can genuinely feel the emotions of the characters. You could feel the love and chemistry between Elizabeth and JD. There’s a few twists that I wasn’t expecting and that ending left me almost yelling. This is one of my favorite series ever.
This is the 7th book in the “Rebel Skulls MC” and could be read as a stand alone.
These damn characters have me in a choke hold. I love them all!!! This couple, JD and Lizzie, are so special. Two broken souls who come together. Another part of the Rebel Skulls family.
This had tension, spice, secrets, love, charm, friendship, murder, hate, trauma, and so much more.
As with all her books, this one had me hooked again!
The way they start, fall in love, trust and heal each other is absolutely beautiful!
The heartbreak they share and overcome is amazing and u honestly couldn't put it down.
The ending though! Surely there's another story there? Enquiring minds would like to know.
This can be read as a standalone but I strongly advise you start from the beginning to fully understand Elizabeth and JD's story aswell as the othe characters!
What a beautiful family of bikers and i can't wait to read more
SUMMARY: Everyone thinks Elizabeth is a villain. Do you know how hard it is to interact with your peers when everyone hates you? She’ll tell you. It’s nearly impossible. So she escaped inside her mind, and that’s where she remained for years. Until a dragonfly brought an angel to her bedside and pulled her into reality. Now she can’t find her way back. That leaves her with two choices. One, to exist in a world that despises her. Two, throw her life away and join her fellow sinners on the other side. Elizabeth chose the second option. Or so she thought. Jacob Dean knows what everyone says about her. That’s okay, because what people think of someone is just that…their thoughts. It’s a general rule of his not to judge people solely by the thoughts of others. But it’s clear as day for JD that she’s broken. And that is what caught his attention. You see, JD's a collector of what others deem junk. He's been this way his whole life. One man’s trash is another’s treasure. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s going to be his most prized possession.
REVIEW: Broken Skulls is the seventh book in the Rebel Skulls MC series and I have to say it is probably one of my favorites of the series. Elizabeth, who was introduced in the sixth book as Tank's ex-wife, had been living with traumatic wounds from her past that have made it hard for her to live a normal life. JD, who is a member of the Rebel Skulls MC, had been living with the knowledge that he watched his father murder his mother in front of him and wasn't able to do anything to save her. When these two broken souls finally meet each other the journey to both of them healing their past traumas begins. It was such an interesting moment when JD was watching over Elizabeth that he knew though she was broken beyond repair that she was a damaged treasure that he would cherish by bringing her to back to his junkyard forever. The moment that JD had taken Elizabeth out to see the members of his club with him giving her daily missions was when I knew that she was slowly going to start healing from her past trauma with his help.
It had been an intense moment when JD had brought Mr. Baxter for Elizabeth to finally end the man who tormented her for years and it gave her the closure she needed to kill him herself. The moment that JD's father had broken into his home to threaten him and Elizabeth had been his breaking point which lead to JD killing him viciously and unfortunately hurting Elizabeth but it helped him finally heal. They confront their abusers for the first time since they were young which helps them both heal so they can be happy. LM has delivered such a heartbreakingly dark romance that had me flipping those digital pages to find out what would happen next between JD and Elizabeth as they fall in love, start to heal one another of their past traumas and become each other's most prized possession. I devoured this book but what has me a bit upset was that surprise ending as now I have to wait until LM Terry publishes the next book in the series in order to find out what is going to happen next!
When I saw that JD had a book, I was very surprised, but this is another masterpiece. Every single book, and I genuinely mean every single book in this series, made me cry, feel emotional, and happy as hell, and so much more. These books catch you and actually stay with you. After reading JD and Elizabeth's story, I noticed that LM Terry really thinks through all her characters because all of them are genuinely unique and so damn special. Just like this MC Club, the Rebels hold a special place, and every time I read a new book, I fall in love with all of them over and over. Elizabeth's story was one that shocked me a lot, and I'm so thankful that JD took her, well, in his own way. But still, it was beautiful to get to know JD on a deeper level. Their bond was so intense and beautiful. You not only see JD healing Elizabeth but also see her healing him. Every time the other characters appear, my heart beats ten times faster, because every interaction brings me so much joy, and Jesse really is a woman I will always love. Her friendship with Elizabeth was heartwarming to see. For once, the ending shocked me completely because I did not expect it at all, and I'm wondering, if we and Elizabeth will get to meet well, we know whom. It feels like Lexi and Ash also have a story to tell, or maybe Lexi, Ash, and we know whom together? Well, whatever it will be, I'm very excited because this series is the best of the best!
The magic of the Dragonfly strikes again Thank you for the pleasure of an ARC copy of your Book 📖 LM Terry, this is my review ..I dived between the pages as soon as I got the copy. This is the much anticipated story that was brushed on in Shadow and skulls and also tied in with her other series the hidden series saving Danielle. This book sure did tug on the heart strings. The villain finally reveals that she was a victim all along and saving a secret so big nobody expected it. JD has a heart of gold and he sees the Broken Lizzie and decides she is perfect as he doesn’t judge based on what everyone says he makes his own mind up. He sees what nobody else sees, even Jessie the formidable hero sees who she is. This Motley crew of skulls create magic and love so fiercely you can’t help but fall in love them. This was beautifully written as always. Yes grab the tissues it’s a tear jerker for sure there is a lot of Trauma. I’m so happy that both Elizabeth and Jacob got some closure to their demons and got to shine in the sunlight. A massive hoorah to Jessie who lit her usual candle and showed Elizabeth never surrender!! This series might not be everybody’s cup of tea so be mindful of the trigger warning. Can’t wait to see your next masterpiece. Can’t wait for my pre-order and the paperback to Grace my bookcase with the others.
I want to start off by saying that this is book 7 in the Rebel skull MC series but can be read as a standalone. In my opinion you get so much more from the series if you read them in order! This series sucked me in from book one and this is one that I recommend all the time! It's one of those series that just stick with you! It's one of my top favorites. In this book we get JD (Jacob) and Elizabeths story. I love how he was drawn to her and fell first; he saves her in more ways than one and shows her that he sees the real her and past what everyone else believes her to be. He stays with her through her lowest of lows and then when he reaches his he expects her to leave but of course she stays and fights for him just like fought for her. Of course, this wouldn't be a Rebel skulls book without the rest of the family and their own dangers. The love that they share for one another and the people that they bring into the family is just perfection! Absolutely love it! This is another perfect addition to the series, and I can't wait to see who's story we get next!
I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into when i started broken skulls, but i can say i do not regret reading it at all. this story is so emotional, between the found family trope and just JD & Elizabeth being exactly the person the other needs, someone who accepts them fully. and not despite all the jagged edges but because of them. broken skulls, l m terry never misses with the titles, these are two broken individuals who unconditionally love each others broken parts, finding them beautiful. now this one is paced a bit differently compared to previous books in this series but not in a bad way, more in a way where the focus is more on connection & healing & coming into yourself, than the action or big bad of the book. and this one had multiple ironicly enough. i also loved that we got to see more of jesse in this book and poor dirk, especially durring that one scene concerning jesse! man my heart beat so fast in that scene. this is deffinitly both the sweetest of the rebel skull books and also the one that you might need a box of tissues for. i can not wait for the next one
JD and Lizzie really left me wondering where this was all going when their characters crossed paths before. I did not see their story unfolding like this at all.
As I turned each page I was excited to see what was going down next and also somber that I was that much closer to the end of the book.
Lizzie and JD unearth their tragic stories and broke my heart right along side them. They are untraditional in their own way and so perfectly themselves. I am obsessed with the acceptance they have for one another and focus on rebuilding, growing individually and as a couple together.
I love the appearances by the other club members and so many of my favorite core characters. And the ending! I need a release date stat on our next installment.
I better go pack a bag because the best place for me to stage a sit-in for the next release date is in the warehouse, right? I NEED to start counting down for this next couple.
I received a copy of this book from L.M. Terry. I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.
I listened to this on audio.I usually listen to my audiobooks on speed 1 because I listen while I'm working out and I don't want to zone out, but the narrators of this book spoke so slow and mundane I had to use speed 2. I did like the story, though. It was a dark romance with a little kidnapping. I loved seeing all the past characters grow into their lives. The couple of this book was so cute. JD, man, I have liked him for a while(his weirdo self). I am so glad he found someone who appreciates all of him. And it was nice to see Elisabeth have a kinda redemption arc. I do wish we would get to see her and her daughter meet and build a relationship. Some characters who I can't wait to read more about are Lexi and Ash.. Their story is gonna be so good. Also, Brody.. I need to know who his lady is?!?!
Finding Elizabeth in her deepest darkest time, JD, now Jacob, brings her through the darkness to help her come back to the light. But what he doesn't realize is his newest collectors item is healing him too. When a terrible invasion happens at Elizabeth and JD's house, Jacob has to face his worst fear if he wants to make it through his darkest time and hope that he and Elizabeth and have their HEA. I can't tell you how much I love the story of Jacob and Elizabeth! I love seeing all of the Skulls family especially a special Jesse appearance! They way Jacob and Elizabeth feed off and strengthen each other makes this whole tale that much more amazing! I can't wait for more!!!! Well done!
JD who owns a junkyard, lives to save broken things. He can see beyond the villain everyone believes Lizzie to be and claims her as his precious treasure.
Linda takes us on a beautifully written emotional rollercoaster ride with this broken couple revealing layers of secrets, trauma and heartache.
The Rebel Skulls MC as always, step in to provide love and support, but also face their own danger.
Another fantastic addition to the Rebel Skull series, there are hints of who the dragonfly may touch with its magic next and I can’t wait to discover who it is. I wish I could give more than 5*
I've been waiting for JD to get his book and it did not dissapoint. They deserve each other and the hardships they went through! Every time in previous books when I read about JD, I kept reminding myself he was getting a book very soon and if he didn't. Well I would be begging for one on my hands and knees. One thing for sure, don't throw away your life in front of someone that collects things that could be fixed.
Y'all have no idea how much I absolutely love the skulls and everyone apart of it. Everytime I read the next in the series or re read it, it takes me straight to their world and I feel like I'm a part of it.
I absolutely adore this author and the Skulls MC series. It was such a heart breaking storyline, it was written with such fine detail and lots of deep emotions - I had tears numerous times. I was utterly mesmerised by Elizabeth’s traumatic past and her journey of finding her new self, also loved Jacob and his strong passion to support her every step of the way along with the rest of the club. The romance is really dark in this book, but at the same time so beautiful. I also enjoyed the other dark elements of blood, death and more. Cliffhanger ending leaves you needing more, definitely can’t wait for the next book.
I have always liked JD and wanted to get his story. It was so much more than I could have ever imagined. And Elizabeth for him? I love this so much. No one really saw her until JD. And then he proceeded to give her the world.
They have both been through so much in their lives. I feel like it just never ends. But they are so much stronger together. Just two kids against the world.
But that ending! I hope that means that this is not the end for the Rebel Skulls MC. I know there’s got to be more.
I love this series. I have already reread it once and I will definitely be reading it over and over again.
Such a heartfelt read, it was awesome 🤩 I absolutely loved Jacob and Elizabeth’s story ❤️❤️❤️ She had such a sad, lonely existence till he kidnapped her off the edge. He to had been alone and together they healed each other. It was such a tragic beginning to the story but the strength they shared and the love story that envelops is so amazing. A definite page turner and very entertaining. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed, you will be drawn in and cheer them them on as they fall madly in love and heal each other 😎🖤
I loved the connection between Elizabeth and Jacob. This is one of the best from the Rebel Skull MC that LM Terry has given us. I loved the way that the couple started and what it took to work everything out for both of them. Don't be surprised if you find a spot that hits home in your own life after reading this story. The way that the process within the human mind works is out front in the story. It actually makes sense to read these words as they flow over different types of mental health issues. Jacobs perseverance is what helped bring Elizabeth out to the surface.
Yet another amazing book in this series. The hurdles jd and Lizzie over come to find the right path and love made this book hard to put down. Rebel skulls mc what a great series Jd is the man who is always quiet and reserved and you always wonder when it was his time for love. Lizzie/Elizabeth the hardships and over come the darkness she fort to become the person she deserves to be in this life. This story played on my emotions, I laughed in parts and cried in others (alot) You won't be disappointed in this book
DNF I just couldn't get past the 13% mark. I've read all the books in this series so far and I don't know what to say. I felt a little lost at the beginning. I'm sorry, but I read so much that I don't remember every single detail of every book I read, but usually enough to get by😂. I know reading the previous book again would have cleared up my confusion, but it wouldn't have taken the author a lot to clue us in a bit to recap us. lots of interconnected-standalone book series do this. I also just didn't vibe with the story.
Lizzie believed she wasn’t worth anything. Everyone hated her and just wanted to use her so to her that’s all she was good for. She was slowly drowning in a world she couldn’t exist in unless she couldn’t feel anything. But JD sees something in her and wants to bring her back from the dark place she’s hidden herself. He knows she’s worth more and needs more so he’s willing to do anything to save her. Even if it means kidnapping her and locking her up. But he’s only doing it to save her from herself.
Wow!! Amazing. I can't explain it very well but L.M's books are just different from anyone else. They have more feeling and the characters really seem real. I've read so many different books from so many different authors that I lost count, but my overall favorite is literally any book from L.M. This book was amazing and I am so glad that these characters finally got their story!!! What happened to Elizabeth was absolutely awful but of course the whole book was absolutely beautiful!!! Another book well done, I can't wait for the next!!
LM Terry does it again! She is such an amazing story teller. The latest installment of the Rebel Skulls series is just wonderful. Chefs kiss! This is such a heart wrenching, gut churning, nail biting read that you will absolutely devour. JD has always come across as a solid secondary character to me. The goofy weirdo in the background. Boy was I wrong. My heart just hurts for what he endured in his life, but what a wonderful path to healing. I cannot wait to see what comes next!
I knew that Lizzie had to have gone through some trauma for her to be redeemed in our minds, however that poor poor girl!
JD sees her and as much as he says he doesn't want to fix her and make her into the girl she was he does want to heal her and make her whole again. The way in which he does that may be a little unorthodox but it's perfect for them.
The skulls absorb her into the family from the get go and make her own of their own.
I really enjoyed this story. Lizzie and JD have both been through so much. JD has an addiction to fixing broken things, it's what he's good at. And Lizzie is broken. I've adored JD so I was really happy to get this story and learn why Lizzie is who she is. True to the Rebel Skulls MC, you're going to go through all the emotions with this story. LM Terry just has a way with words that pulls you into the story. I can't wait for what comes next in the series!
Book seven in the Rebel Skull MC Series. Broken and still standing. She’s not what she seems. Only JD saw it. She was broken yet beautiful . He did a favor for a brother and found his lady . It was hard work. Worth it at the end. Emotional and heartbreaking story about losing yourself to fear. Finding your soul in a rough biker. Never gave up on her. Showed her to heal and protect the ones you love.
I love LM Terry’s books. They are page turners, the stories are raw, dark and beautiful. They pack a punch and make you feel all the words. I love the Skulls and love revisiting old characters when reading a new creation from LM Terry. ❤️Dragonflies have two sets of wings so they can carry angels on their backs.❤️ May you touch dragonflies and stars, dance with fairies, and talk to the moon.❤️
