About the author

Nikki Mays is a pen name that was created from her maiden name. She is a wife and mother, who lives in a small town in New Jersey. She has been with her husband for well over a decade and is surprised that he's still alive. She has 3 small boys that she loving refers to as her hellions. Seriously, they only look sweet and innocent. She began writing as a creative outlet after becoming a stay at home mom. She decided that she needed something exclusively for herself, not just being mommy. She has two crazy boxers that legitimately think that they're humans but graciously share "their" couch with the rest of the family. Besides writing and spending time with her little hellions, she enjoys cooking and baking. She has recently taken up gardening and made her loving husband plant her a mini fruit tree orchard, that unfortunately deer get to eat more of than she does. Life living in the woods can be a pain at times! Nikki loves to be stalked by her readers and encourages all interaction.

I... I don't really know what to say about this... it had the makings of a good full-length story... but, instead... it was a really really quick read.

I think... I think I want more? I want to know more about them. About what happened. About their potential HEA. There is room for a series cos we've already met some friends... so maybe this is the kick-starter? Maybe?

Sweet read, nice characters - what we knew of them anyway. I just wanted... more.

Super short hilarious enemy’s to lovers.


“Are you ever not a miserable jerk?” I hiccup. “I mean seriously, you would think that someone so good looking wouldn’t have the personality of a baboons butt.”

I give him a smile. “You’re bent, Lucas.” I nod my head. “You are most definitely bent but not broken.”

Loved it 😍

I love everything I read by Nikki Mays. This was a really short book but I still loved it. As usual she had me laughing. I do wish it was longer. I really wanted more of Lucas and Paisley.

Love this quick read.

I love all of Nikki’s books and this one is no exception. It had all of the best elements she provides readers in her stories. Great characters, just enough angst and a HEA. She has become one of my one-clicked authors.

LOVED IT!

That was short but sweet! This story was a little different than what I'm used to from Ms Mays, but I loved it just the same! She is a very talented author and I find myself trying to read all kinds of things that she's written😍

Awesome little short story

Bent not Broken was a great short story! It had Nikki Mays’ sense of humor, plenty of heat and a hot alpha male. Everything you’d expect. It definitely hit the spot!
