Told from first person point of view (Amy Bensen) UNBROKEN is the conclusion (the last and short book) of Amy and Liam’s adventure.
“Sometimes having a safe place to give it away is the best way to block everything else out. I’m asking you to let me show you that I’m that safe place.”
And Liam is my safe place.”
“Sometimes you’re the only reason I do breathe, Amy Bensen. But let’s make a deal. From now on, let’s breathe together.”
“I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. I’ve got you, baby.” Emotion tightens my chest. “I’ve got you, too,” I reply, because no matter how alpha, how dominant, there’s a broken part of Liam that understands and fits with the broken parts of me.”

ABOUT THE SERIES
Infinite possibilities….
Infinite passion…..
Infinite danger….
His touch spirals through me, warm and sweet, wicked and hot. I shouldn’t trust him. I shouldn’t tell him my secrets. But how do I not when he is the reason I breathe? He is what I need.
At the young age of eighteen, tragedy and a dark secret force Lara to flee all she has known and loved to start a new life. Now years later, with a new identity as Amy, she’s finally dared to believe she is forgotten–even if she cannot forget. But just when she lets down her guard down, the ghosts of her past are quick to punish her, forcing her back on the run.
On a plane, struggling to face the devastation of losing everything again and starting over, Amy meets Liam Stone, a darkly entrancing recluse billionaire, who is also a brilliant, and famous, prodigy architect. A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is Amy. Refusing to take “no” as an answer, he sweeps her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything from her, accepting nothing less. But what if she is too devastated by tragedy to know when he wants more than she should give? And what if there is more to Liam than meets the eyes?

...no matter how alpha, how dominant, there's a broken part of Liam that understands and fits with the broken parts of me.
PLEASE READ THE FIRST 3 BOOKS IN THE SERIES BEFORE READING THIS REVIEW!!! #SpoilerAlert!!!!
Ok - we basically start off where we left our darlings in Forsaken ....
Chad made sure all the bad guys were in jail, and he had this idea of 'The Circle' - a group of twelve people world-wide, who each own their own piece of information about the cylinder.
Should that all word out the way Chad planned it, it would make Amy and everybody connected to him safe.
And it looks like it's working - but there are still some loose ends ... like Jared, their former friend and hacker...
So Liam is working hard to make sure that they can live a happy and secure and free live from now on.
And with all the troubles still out there, there are also some happy moments...
Christmas is just around the corner...and some guy might propose to some girl ....
All very cute and romantic - in the midst of their still very unsure future.....
What will happen to Amy & Liam?
Is Jared one of the bad or the good-ish guys?
Will there be a HEA?
Will everybody survive???
_____________________________
Ugh :(((((( so sad. This was the last we'll ever hear from my darling Liam.
I was sooo in love with the first book in this series - Escaping Reality
The bar was a tiny bit too high for the next three books. They just couldn't convince me the way the first book had...but I still loved them. You just have to. You needed to know how their stories would end.
And now that it's over, I can't wait what LRJ will come up with next!!!!
UNBROKEN was such a cute final novella.
It had this whole Christmas-epilogue feeling to it.
I loved it.
”Sometimes you’re the only reading I do breathe, Amy Bensen. But let’s make a deal. From now on, let’s breathe together.”>
A bit of suspense, mystery, excitement, romance, sexiness, love, hot-chocolate, fun and lots of adorable and sexy guys. Perfect ending to an amazing series!!!!! GO AND BUY THE BOOK!!!!

I went into this book hoping that I would get more fast-paced, action-pacted sequence of events like the other books in the series. I did feel that the third book could have been the ending to this story. I know believe that it should have been. If you are looking for more twists and turns in this one, sadly you will be left feeling disappointed.
This story is more of just an add-on to the rest of the series. You will get a couple small pieces of information that you didn't have, but these pieces aren't really all that significant in the grand scheme of things.
In this book you are going to get the build up to the possible happily ever after with Liam and Amy. There are a few bumps in the road, but nothing heart-stopping or page-turning like in the other books. If I am being totally honest with you, this book felt more like a forced fluff piece. Definitely not a typical Lisa Renee Jones book. I was left feeling a little let down by the end.
The book itself isn't a bad book. But as far as the series goes, it really isn't necessary. I did find myself not liking Amy by the end of this one. Her character took a nose dive in this one. This, alone, broke my heart. She was such a strong character in the other three books.
I don't want to go on and on about this one. Many are saying that this book is the perfecting ending. Some may agree, some may not. This book is full of the love that Amy and Liam are able to share. It's almost like a long epilogue. It's definitely worth reading. Just don't expect all of the mysterious happenings that you had in the other books of this series.

Finally the conclusion of The Secret Life of Amy Bensen series! I’ve been looking forward to this forever it seems. This series has been one heck of a hot, sexy, steamy, smartly written erotic suspense and I couldn’t wait to read this final installment.
Unbroken picks up right where Forsaken ended. Due to the planning and plotting by Amy’s brother, Chad, Amy and Liam find themselves in unknown territory—they’re safe. Or as safe as Liam, Tellar, and the rest of the team deem them to be.
With their safety now not in the forefront of their minds, Liam and Amy are free to move forward with their lives. A life that includes marriage. While planning for their wedding, Amy gets a surprise visit that suddenly makes Liam and Amy feel that they may not be so safe after all…
Add in a visit by the CIA and a “shadow” agent, and Ms. Jones had me on the edge of my seat once again, wondering if Amy and Liam really were going to have their happily ever after.
The end. Wait, not really the end… but it could have been. Unfortunately, Unbroken just didn’t capitalize upon the suspense points. The whole series was one question after another as to who was good and who was bad, and who was both. The plot here never rose to that level—it just fizzled out in this brief, almost-a-very-long-epilogue, book. After all the excitement and brilliant storytelling in the rest of the series, Unbroken felt very rushed and fell flat. I think if there were more elements of suspense and a bit more of the final story drawn out, this would have been an epic conclusion. ~ Missy, 3.5 stars

Unbroken the fourth and final novel to The Secret Life of Amy Bensen Series. Commencing with Unbroken all the mysteries are uncovered and solved. Amy and Liam have their own personal insecurities to overcome but together they shall accomplish anything. I'm going to miss the characters (Most of all Liam).
Every author has their uniqueness in writing. Jones brings the characters to life. Author captures each characters personality which at times will leave the reader questioning their true intentions. Unexpected surprises will arise.
It is complete with desire, well-defined characters and a compelling storyline. A well executed conclusion to the series.
Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend this brilliant sensual romantic-suspenseful contemporary novel.
"MARRIAGE: Two people sworn into an eternal bond to love and protect each other, signified by the UNBROKEN circle of a ring. HUSBAND: Possessor of many male virtues used to seduce, please, and protect his wife and ensure that the bond he shares with her is unbreakable. WIFE: Possessor of feminine virtues far more powerful than the husband often realizes but should."
ARC review copy of this book was provided by the Author*
Pre-ordered on Amazon and Audible.
The true test of love is not always ‘Will you fight for it?’ The real test of true love is often ‘Are you willing to give it up?~ #TiffanyReisz

A steamy happy ending for our Amy and Liam.
Unbroken just shows us how unbroken Liam and Amy are. They have been through so much and finally Liam is getting his wife.
Amy wants to be Mrs. Liam Stone more than anything and it is finally coming to pass. From her beautiful dress to getting a surprise visitor in her dressing room and her home. Can’t Liam and Amy just breathe for a minute so they can get their HEA.. Where is the fun in that?
Lisa Renee Jones knows just how to keep the mystery going on and not just the mystery, the heat level and to many hot males to go around. Who to trust? Who will back stab us? Who is falling in love next? I don’t know but please keep it coming Lisa.

I loved and hated this book. I have been in love with this series characters since I started reading it. The suspense and secrets have kept me on edge. I have long proclaimed Liam as one of my favorite BBF (book Boyfriend). I hated it because this is the last book about the epic love that is Liam and Amy.
Once again Lisa Renee Jones, pulled me into the world of betrayals, family and true love. I am in awe of Mrs. Jones ability to consume my attention fully and without hesitation on my part.
This time we get to see if happily ever afters are possible after so much bad. Is Amy finally safe from the past she has been running from? This story is beautifully written and I am honored to have read it.
Thank you Lisa Renee Jones for once again raising my expectations and making fall deeper in love with your writing.

I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.
UNBROKEN was UNBELIEVABLE!! Right away reading this book I could feel the emotion coming off the book. Lisa's writing was amazing and it had me hooked right away. I love all of her books but this book was so full of emotion. Amy seemed so real to me. I can feel her pain, love, and freedom. It was truly amazing. Amy and Liam's love went through such obstacles and the love in this book just flowed out and had my heart ache and my heart mend. Such a beautiful love story.
Once again Lisa, you never fail my expectations!!❤️

Unbroken is the last book in the "Secret Life of Amy Bensen" series and this book takes us to the finale of this world that the author has created. I absolutely ADORED this book. It was just so delicious. And it was so great seeing Liam and Amy again and adjusted to real life again. It just had my heart in so many ways and oh the "feels" of this story was just right. There was a slight level of suspense though, but enjoyed seeing them find their HEA. We see Liam and Amy readjust to normal life, plan their wedding and celebrate Christmas and we get some good times with Amy's brother, Chad and Gia. There are some ends that are tied up in a bow, and others not completed tied off but with a HFN feeling. I am curious if this author wrote any connecting books.

A BEAUTIFULLY HEART-FELT & SWOON-WORTHY CONCLUSION TO LIAM & AMY'S STORY!
In this 4th and final book in The Secret Life of Amy Bensen series, Lisa Renee Jones delivers Liam and Amy’s highly-anticipated conclusion with both beauty and finesse.
With Chad’s secret finally revealed and the “bad guys” behind bars, Amy and Liam can finally move on with their lives. Or can they? There are still two variables left unaccounted for—Jared and Meg. As long as they are still out there, left unchecked, Amy and Liam might never truly be free. But have no doubt… Liam Stone will do everything in his power to ensure that Amy remains safely by his side.
With their lives still in turmoil, Liam is diligent in his efforts to shower Amy with tenderness, sensitivity and love. While still dominant and very much in control, Liam’s romantic side makes an appearance on more than one occasion. I swooned in delight at the many “melt-your-heart” moments that were generously scattered throughout the book… moments that helped take the edge off of couple’s very precarious situation.
With uncertainty looming over them, Amy refuses to allow fear to control their lives. Drawing her strength from Liam, she pulls herself together and regains control over the situation. With renewed vigor, she chooses to live out in the open—no longer willing to cower and hide. I watched with admiration and delight, as Amy took charge of her life, once and for all.
As with all good love stories, Liam and Amy’s story has not been without numerous obstacles blocking their road to happiness. But despite Amy’s initial misgivings, Liam’s love for Amy has never been in doubt. While reading “Unbroken,” I was reminded of why I fell in love with the sexy, controlling, billionaire recluse in the first place. In fact, I think I might have fallen just a little bit more!
As for Liam and Amy's HEA? Well, let's just say that it's a lot like Liam's tattoo. It serves to remind us that when it comes to him and Amy, “some things are eternal.”

DEFINITELY A MUST READ!!! FIVE PLUS STARS!!!!!
Let me start by saying that I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. With that being said, I only have one negative thing to say and that would be that this is the final book in The Secret Life of Amy Benson series. Other than that, this series and this book is Amazing! And, after I finished Unbroken, I found myself having a severe book hangover/withdrawals.
If you haven't read the other three books in this series, I strongly urge you to do that. And, be sure to read them in order because each book is a continuation of the last book. In Unbroken, Lisa Renee Jones has done such an incredible job wrapping up the beautiful storyline and characters that she has developed. We get to see what happens with Liam Stone and Amy Benson. And, we also get to see more of Chad and Gia's story too! As with all of Lisa's books, this one took me on a roller coaster ride and it had me on emotional overload! Once I started reading, I didn't want to put the book down until I finished the last page. If you like well written stories, suspense/mystery, and romance, then you don't want to miss out on this book or this series. It's FIVE PLUS STARS!!!! I can't wait for LRJ next book, Denial with Ella in it.

Spectacular ending to a really great series!!!
I received an ARC from the author for an honest review. I have read all of the Amy Benson books previously and can honestly say that as a heroine I really, really like Amy. She is tough, sexy, smart, but also fiercely loyal, loves her family and like all of us vulnerable. Her love affair with Liam Stone is truly nothing short of spectacular due to the intrigue and suspense that is involved with all the books. It continues here in this last book and threatens to hurt Amy and Liam once again. Amy and Liam's relationship has evolved so much that you can't help but love to love them!!! Of course Liam is the ultimate swoon worthy hot overprotective alpha male but he does it in such a way that it comes across as loving! Amy has a lot to contend with as this book continues where Forsaken stops and she is on an emotional roller coaster due to her brother Chad. Find out all the rest of the secrets that have remained hidden and see if Amy and Liam can have their well deserved HEA :)

This story if packed full of suspense. It picks up right after the last book “Forsaken” left off. Amy is with Liam and he is stating they can come out of hiding. Where is Chad and is he alive? When the danger comes back who is involved in that danger. Are they friends out to betray them? Are they working together? How will Amy and Liam tell? Will Amy finally be able to put the past behind her and move on to a happy future with Liam? Or will they have to go back into hiding forever?
I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I recommend this book.

Compared to the rest of the books in this series, Unbroken was a short read, but it was also a great read. FINALLY Liam and Amy get to have their HEA and get married.
The author did a fantastic job of tying up all loose ends in the series and even creating some more suspense.
It may seem odd to some, but I particularly liked the way the author went through the marriage license process in the story- I don't think I've ever read a book that included that, everyone normally just gets married without this ever being mentioned, but it is a step that every couple takes.

I received an ARC for an honest review. I highly recommend Unbroken which is the fourth book in The Secret Life of Amy Benson series. I must be honest and say I cried so hard during the first paragraph that I put the book down for 24 hours! I also found myself crying again at the ending. The storyline is exciting and truly fantastic. Enjoy!!!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the final book in the The Secret Life Of Amy Bensen Series and what a great conclusion it is! This book has romance, suspense, action, great characters, and hot steamy scenes. It grabs you right from the start and keeps you hooked right until the end. This is a great read!

Finally! Glad Liam & Amy finally got their HEA and a chance of living a normal life.
I still kind of felt like there are so many unanswered questions, but how much longer can you draw this out, right?

An awesome satisfying conclusion to the series…
This is the fourth and final book in the series and should NOT be read out of series order, this is the conclusion to the series which is of novella length, the resolution of the remaining open threads continuing the timeline after the events in Forsaken and culminating in a joyous HEA.
We’ve heard Amy’s story and then her brother Chad’s which led us readers on a fascinating journey filled with danger, suspense and more than one sexy romance but is everyone safe now? There are many variables that could impact the future of their lives, have they managed to finally gain enough control to ensure their happiness? We learn the answers to those questions and to things we were left wondering such as: Who really is Jared? What happened to Meg?
Told in Amy’s point of view, we traverse the repercussions of what occurred in Forsaken. Amy and Liam have weathered so much, their love healing the deep voids within their souls, the connection made at an airport between two lonesome souls made stronger by the road they’ve travelled together. But it’s not so easy to accept that for the first time in many years of hiding Amy can breathe freely again, only the passage of time will ease those fears but with Liam securely at her side she can handle anything now.
“Apart, Liam and I were broken. But together, we are unbroken.”
I loved this much satisfying conclusion to an awesome romantic suspense series that had so many twists and turns that kept the reader thoroughly engaged. The storyline was fascinating, the characters were mesmerizing, their personalities so appropriate to the pains of their pasts from which they were born. No matter what their fears of the moment they were survivors. The hands that life dealt them did not break them just occasionally wore them down to come back fighting stronger. I felt their emotions and became highly invested in their outcome. I will miss them. The one thing I would have liked added was Liam’s point of view for he’s a most fascinating man, a dominant alpha with a caring heart.

"Apart, Liam and I were indeed broken. But together, we are unbroken."
For six years, Amy has been in hiding, relying on only herself to keep her safe, but now that her brother's enemies have been taken care of and there's a plan in place to protect the cylinder, she can now breathe easier and hopefully regain some of the control she lost while on the run.
Unbroken is about facing fears and reaching for and finding that safe place that Amy has only dreamed of, and with Liam Stone by her side, it seems like anything is possible. He works hard to give her all her desires while protecting her, and in return, she helps to put his broken pieces together with hers to have a future filled with love and happiness.
The puzzle doesn't seem completely solved even at the end of Unbroken, but that works well for me because there are still many variables at play and a close eye needs to be kept on all of them to ensure that Amy, Chad, and Liam are no longer in danger and they can get back to living not just existing.
I've loved this series from the beginning, and Lisa Renee Jones gives Amy and Liam exactly what they need at the end, and while it may not be perfect and there Amy still might be afraid at times, she is no longer broken.

The final book in The Secret Life of Amy Bensen is as remarkable as the other installments.
Life on the run has sharpened Amy's instincts and no matter what Liam tries to do, this is a "spidey sense" she will never lose. "Burying" Chad was hard enough knowing it may be a long time before she is able to see him again. She has lived such a lonely life for the last 6 years, when will the terror end. Betrayal, secrets, greed, and powerful men who will stop at nothing have been part of her daily struggle for so long, how do stop running and fearing what may be around the corner?
Liam is all she needs to feel safe. It is amazing what this man will do for her to keep her safe. I just loved how he works things out to give her the happiness she craves.
This has been an amazing series! Our author once again proves she is at the top of her game writing these suspenseful, thrilling love stories that keep us up late at night.

Favorite Quotes:
“He gently removes a strand of hair caught on my lip, one of those mindless tender gestures that make me feel special in ways only Liam can.”
“I swear, Liam Stone. Somehow you manage to be bossy, arrogant, and demanding, and remarkably still say and do all the right things.”
“‘Baby, I can vow to love, cherish, and honor you, but I can’t promise not to make you mad.’ He kisses me hard and fast. ‘But the makeup sex is going to be worth it. That, you can bank on.’”
“Our new beginning started the day we met.”
My Review:
Swoon, Ms. Jones maintained the suspense, tension, and drama through four books before providing a very satisfying and sweet conclusion to this steamy adventure. I was team Liam from the beginning, although Ms. Jones did throw up some curve balls and misdirection. The plot remained complex and the story line remained taut, intriguing, and highly sensual to the end.

The final part and conclusion to Amy Bensen´s troubles.
Since her brother managed to discourage the threat against them all in the last book, life should be free from threats. You´d think.
But something is still lurking, waiting for Amy and Liam to let down their guard. Can they get their Happily Ever After?
Contemporary romance, suspense, action and smutty fluff in a great combo, and a lovely conclusion to the series.

Lots and Lots of surprises. The beginning will blow your mind. As the story progresses and you will begin to read the unraveling of what one thought was a fact when in fact it was a fallacy. Complicated enough for you?
Was a very enjoyable fantastic journey to Liam and Amy's happily ever after. I wish I give a more in depth review but anything said with this book is a spoiler.
Thank you LRJ for the ARC to review.

Unbroken by Lisa Renee Jones is the absolute perfect ending to the Secret Life of Amy Bensen series. We finally get closure and know that Amy and Liam will endure, their love is forever love. Still packed with suspense but ends on such a high note. Another winner from Lisa Renee Jones!

Sono passati sei anni ma finalmente Amy può ritenersi una donna libera. Libera dal suo passato, dai nemici che la perseguitano e dai fantasmi che non la lasciano, ma di certo non libera dal sentimento e la passione che la lega al suo Liam. Dopo tanto tempo finalmente i due possono stare insieme senza la paura di essere trovati, braccati e uccisi. Chad è libero e felice, seppur lontano da lei e, nonostante la mancanza di suo fratello si faccia sentire sempre di più, Amy può finalmente riprendere a respirare. Ed è proprio in questo momento idilliaco che lei e Liam possono iniziare a pensare a quel “noi” in cui tanto hanno sperato. Il natale si sta avvicinando e Liam e Amy non vedono l’ora di sentirsi una coppia normale e pensare solo alla propria storia.
Si susseguono così giornate dedicate all’amore, alla passione e a quel matrimonio che entrambi hanno desiderato così tanto con la speranza che questa volta non ci sia niente e nessuno che gli proibisca di raggiungere il tanto agognato lieto fine..
Amy è la donna forte che noi tutti abbiano incontrato nel primo libro. Forte, decisa, coraggiosa e per la prima volta la vediamo anche serena, libera, felice. Finalmente può dedicarsi interamente alla sua storia d’amore e vivere nel presente, senza la paura del passato e dei nemici sempre alla porta.
Liam Stone è profondamente cresciuto nel corso della storia. Da miliardario arrogante è diventato un fidanzato attento. Da fidanzato attento lo abbiamo trovato nei panni del supereroe e adesso è solo l’uomo innamorato che vuole rendere felice la sua Amy.
