I was left wanting more and wanting it now at the end of the first book in this series, Shards of Glass and for me, Broken Glass was very much worth the wait.

At the end of Shards of Glass, Janie had just found out that her leading man Cal had been fired from the movie they were filming, The Dark Edge of Love. Not only that but Daniel was back as the director and he was also going to be playing her leading man.

The chemistry between them runs HOT but before they have a chance to start things up, Janie has an emergency that has her needing to get to Vegas right away.

Once Janie handles the emergency, she joins back up with Daniel. This is where the heat turns up between them and OH MY these two were  photo coollogo_com-26837336_zpspr782a4f.gif

Just when things seem to be going well for them, we are thrown for a HUGE LOOP!And then ANOTHER and ANOTHER! This is where the story ends for now, yep with a cliffhanger that will have your jaw dropping to the floor and thinking NO! THAT JUST DID NOT HAPPEN!

I am now going crazy with want for book 3, Hearts of Glass which should be released the end of April, early May. This IS a MUST read for me and I can hardly wait to read what will happen next.

☆ I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!! ☆

Arianne Richmonde does it again! Utterly rips out my heartstrings and leaves me hanging by a thread!

Ari is clearly one of my favorite go to authors as she wounds an intriguing web of steam, suspense, and thrilling surprises that kept me on my feet.

Janie sure has a lot on her plate as she juggles her budding career, family and friendships, along with her dumbfounding status and romance with the enigmatic Daniel Glass.

And let’s not forget all of those twists and turns, push and pull that ensues, and that big cliffy at the end!

Gee, Janie just can’t get a break, can she? Haha

Anyway, LOVED this following installment in the Glass Trilogy and can’t wait for the upcoming finale! It’s going to be pretty bittersweet for me!

Thanks Arianne for shooting over this ARC to my kindle!♥

Big shocker! Things are not what they seem. Janie has been in love with Daniel for such a long time and now he is back! Not only is he directing her, but he is also playing the lead opposite her. The racy sex scenes are going to be really difficult to play!

After thinking that Daniel has become a man whore after losing his wife, Janie has been careful not to fall prey to his charms. This is almost impossible when every time she turns around Daniel is pursuing her.

A family emergency takes Janie to Las Vegas with Daniel in pursuit. You are not going to believe what happens next! No spoilers here. Just know that everything you knew is about to be turned on its head.

I found this book thrilling and romantic. It reads like a thriller. Now that I have finished this installment, all I can think of is OMG!!!!!!!!!! Waiting impatiently now for Hearts of Glass and the final resolution to this amazing story. ( I have a heart made of glass and I adore it!) :)

Broken Glass continues right where Shards of Glass left off. Daniel Glass has come back and is ready to take on the movie alongside Janie, both as director and her leading man. She is taken by surprise and still can’t come to terms with the idea that he might want something serious with her.

The story moves along at a fast pace and so much happens in this installment. Some truths are revealed, and I’m sure people will be left with their mouths open, once they are hit with these twists  The passion between Daniel and Janie is high, and he shows so much determination to make her his, completely.

I loved this second part and can’t wait to read what comes next. That ending was such a shocker. I still can’t believe what happened. Hurry Ari. I want my Glass!

What in God's name was that???? I cannot even...
Okay, let me just say that I so didn't expect that ending!
Broken Glass takes it right from where the first book left us. Janie agrees to be part of Daniel's movie and their relationship starts growing. An unexpected event takes them both to Las Vegas. A situation arises and Janie has to contact her family. Daniel accompanies her and that trip is very critical for their special bond. They come closer and Janie's dreams look like they are finally coming true.
But once again luck is not with her. Through a series of events, it seems like she is once again losing the love of her life. Before she knows it, Daniel is snatched away from her. But is he innocent in all this? Was he lying about everything? Or is it just some plot an outsider has conjured up?
Read to find out!
I loved the writing and this book was so worth the wait. I cannot wait for Hearts of Glass.
4.5 Stars from me!

I was given a arc in exchange for my honest review. Broken Glass picks up for we leave off. A LOT happens this book. Better keep up. It starts off a bit slow and then BAM! hits you like a train. Daniel Glass steps up his hotness and boy does he deliver. Something terrible happens to Daniel and ends up in a coma. Then all hell breaks loose. Its twist after twist and BAM after BAM! it seriously was the best installment so far. I can't give much more than that away. But you will want to read this amazing series and installment! 5 big shiny stars for this amazing installment. LOVED it and cannot wait for the third and final piece to the puzzle. You will not be disappoint with this installment. My jaw is still on the floor. AMAZING, Ari. Way to go my friend, way to good!

AMAZING!!!
Shards of Glass drew me in right from the beginning, I fell in love with Janie and her personality. It reminded me of myself when I was shy and interested in someone. Daniel's character was similar to Christan Grey, HOWEVER, he was different. I was sad when I finished the first book. I instantly ordered the second book, Broken Glass. Once again I was drawn in from the start, there was an event I did NOT see coming, a twist that made me shocked, hurt and confused as if they were happening to me. Arianne Richmonde has a particular choice of wording and phrasing that I find intriguing. I finished the book is roughly 3 hours and was eager to begin the third and final book.

This was the most horribly written book I have read in years. I loved the first two books and automatically 1 clicked this one. I regretted it a few chapters in. I wish I would have saved myself the time.

Reviewed by Sharon Thérèse Nuttall on behalf of Kindle Friends Forever.
Quotes chosen by Rachel McEwan.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and the follow-up is even better. The author has most certainly titillated us with a plot that thickens by the minute. She had me playing the guessing game which is right up my street. Throw in a gorgeous drop-dead Alpha male, a leading lady who can’t quite make up her mind whether to take the leading part in a film he’s going to direct and act in or not, and just maybe an erotic movie will be in the making.

There is no doubt Arianne knows what she’s talking about. She has created a unique plot and her characters are easy to relate to. When Daniel declares his feelings for Janie, she’s more than dubious. You can’t blame her because his reputation for not just wining and dining tall elegant blondes is the talk of the town. But is he indeed the man-whore she thinks he is? She has that to discover at an event where Cal who we meet in the first book, conveniently does a disappearing act. Secrets are revealed, lies are rife, and throughout the confusion woven into the story, had me flipping the pages to find out what was actually going on. And Cal, well, he shows his true colours by being caught out stealing someone’s identity. "Whose," you may ask?

Daniel ~ ‘’ Fuck, you’re sexy, Janie, you make me fucking ravenous for you.’’

Janie can’t believe her luck when she realises that the man she’s been obsessed with since she first met him in the theatre, acknowledges his passion for her. Some highly arousing and sexy scenes take place, get your fans ready here because the author is an expert at provoking the reader. And when everything seems to be running smoothly; bam! My, oh, my, I can assure you that I wasn’t ready for the outcome of a most unfortunate happenings that took place under the most absurd circumstances either.

Daniel ~ ‘’ I need to claim this ass, Janie. I won’t be a hundred percent satisfied until I can call every last centimetre of your body mine. Call me greedy, I am.’’

Characters we've learnt to love in other novels are still giving Janie good advice. And new ones are introduced making this read more than interesting. Janie’s brother, Will, is going to cause an upset or two. The unspeakable aftermath that took place where it did was undoubtedly because he'd done a runner of sorts, forced Janie to travel to Las Vegas. Of course, Daniel offered to accompany her in his private jet! Yeah, he's loaded, too!
Will's unconventional behaviour was written to perfection and I couldn't not fall for this young lad who's always willing to please in his peculiar way. I was in for a surprise with this supposedly innocent lad. Hmmph, it all happens in Vegas!

Janie ~ ‘’ Are you talking about what I think you are talking about?’’
Will ~ ‘’ Sure am.’’
Janie ~ ‘’ Did you use a condom?’’
Will ~ ‘’I used three condoms.’’


Daniel. Will his past come back with a vengeance? Did he even know a person close to him was to close for comfort? I'll tell you this. I wasn't expecting this twist at all. Actually, it horrified me to think that he might be aware of it. Lots of questions have to be answered in the final part of this trilogy, Hearts of Glass. I sincerely hope all my assumptions are wrong.

To sum up this read. The incredible cliffy had my buddy reader, Rachel, and myself messaging backwards and forwards like two desperately needy bookworms. Say no more! Arianne has done it again in style. Her penmanship is extremely vivid, her way with words is in my opinion, pure and utter perfection. A highly recommendable read; however, this is not a standalone so why not one-click on Shards of Glass if you haven’t read it already! Bravo to you Ms. Richmond for an entertaining read and the book covers in this series, well, I think I can say that KFF are real suckers for them!

4.75 stars! I found this to be an exciting book 2 with some crazy twists! Daniel is not the alpha jerk I thought he was becoming at the end of Shards of Glass. And Janie shows that she can hold her own.

I was thrilled with how the author switched some storylines up, so that I was caught off-guard. just when I thought that I knew where things were going, they changed direction.

I felt that it was a bit rushed near the end, and I would have liked a bit more romance scenes with Daniel and Janie. However, the scenes that they did have sizzled. And the cliffhanger ending was a shocker. SO GOOD!

I am eagerly awaiting the final book, Hearts of Glass. I am rooting for Daniel and Janie to get their HEA (happily ever after).

Excerpt:

"The word is that you have quite a reputation, Daniel Glass. And to be honest with you, I'm not that interested in shooting this movie with someone who could be riddled with sexually transmitted diseases."

There, I said it.
He burst out laughing again.

I'm serious, Daniel. What you do is your business, but if I'm to be pretty much naked, with you all over me, I want to know you're as clean as a whistle."

He tried to put on a serious face. "I haven't had sex with anyone since my wife died," he said, still chuckling to himself.

************************************************

I loved how Janie called him out. And then when he says he hasn't had sex ... ?! Janie and Daniel won my respect. And the story keeps getting better.

Note: I was a beta reader. This is my honest review. I enjoyed so much that I bought the ebook.

Okay, this is going to be extremely hard to review without giving any spoilers, but I must first say...WTH!!! Finished book 2 last night because I could not put the book down, and once I turned to the last page and looked at the clock, I realized there would be no sleep for me! Too many questions needing answers, and my brain wanted the answers NOW!!!

Broken Glass was even hotter than Shards of Glass, which I did not think would be possible. Add in so many twists and turns, that every time I predicted what was going to happen, Arianne would continuously prove me wrong.

Truthfully, this is one of those books that I would have hated if I had to wait a long time for the next to come out, but the good news for not only myself and anyone else who decides to read this phenomenal trilogy...all three books are out now!!!

If you like sizzling hot stories full of twists and turns that will take you on an amazing ride, then be sure to check out The Glass Trilogy!

I was lucky enough to win the first book. After reading it, I immediately bought the 2nd in this trilogy. And what a roller coaster ride! Everything was rocking along and I was cheering for Janie and Daniel and then the plot took a sharp turn. Good thing I'm on vacation. I bought book 3 and started it even before writing this review. Don't miss this trilogy. It has everything!

Another amazing tale! Arianne has written a story that makes you want to skip to the end to see how the story turns out--only it's a cliffhanger and you've got to read the next book! An enjoyable narrative with great characters and fantastic twists!

Janie and Daniel.

Gotta love Janie's brother, Will, for trying to protect his sister. I love the story of their ups and downs to try to have a relationship.
