Broken Deeds MC #3
Depay
Depay’s life changed the moment he discovered that he was a father. After fighting for custody of Hadley, his now four-year-old daughter, he embraces the changes that he must make to give her the home she deserves; but not until after a tiny slip up leads to one last reckless moment. After a chance meeting turns into a sexy romp, he walks away from the woman to focus solely on his daughter.
As a former Russian mob princess, Veronika had never experienced anything like the fleeting moment she had with Depay. Never anticipating that she would see him again, she is unexpectedly forced to track him down to discuss the consequences of their brief but steamy encounter.
As a firefighter, you play with flames and hope you won’t get burned. But when an arsonist turns to murderer, things are bound to get explosive. When Depay’s job encounters trouble that leads to his doorstep, choices need to be made. Like a backdraft starving for air, the choice of life or death will stare him in the face…open the door or keep it closed. Will more lives, including his own, falter in an attempt to extinguish a blaze?

**** IT'S LIVE!!!****
** ARC RECEIVED IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW **
Ok, brace yourselves because I'm about to majorly gush about this book. I am crushing so hard on Depay - back up ladies, I claimed him. I'll tattoo his name on my forehead or whatever, just sayin'.
This story had suspence, some humor and steamy hot alpha love! It had an actual storyline that had the drama from outside sources, not turmoil with the couple. Any drama that came made them stronger. I was whipping through the pages.
Depay - he is that dream hero. He was -
~OTT alpha- when Diamond came to him and told him she was pregnant he didn't even hesitate. She was his, no questions asked. He stood up to her dad, and didn't let her resist.
I am taking her, because her place is right here, with me. I’ll make damn sure she is taken care of properly. Did you count all of the I’s that I threw out just now? Because I can tell you right now that she is mine and so is the kid. That’s our life , our kid, our decisions . She came to me, and I am taking responsibility to give her and our child the very fucking best I can, and then some.
~Amazing to the heroine - he was all about taking care of her making sure she had everything she needed. He had never forgotten her so finding her back at his door was a dream for him.
~Amazing dad ~ he had only had his sweet little girl a short time and he was a natural. He accommodated her disability in their home and even took measures so he could communicate with her easier. He put her first. (He even put off going back to the heroine, even though he thought about her everyday AND was never with another woman after their night together)
Nika/Diamond - she was a great heroine. She finds out she is pregnant and guess what, she doesn't keep it a secret or try to hide it, she goes to Depay the very next day and tells him. How refreshing!
She is a little shell shocked when he is so accepting. She hadn't expected that reaction. I appreciated that she didn't push him away a lot and went with his OTT bossiness.
-one of my all-time favorite heroes
-awesome heroine
-very minimal pushing away
-OM drama - none whatsoever
-OW drama -
-no cheating - 100% devotion
-steamy sex scenes - just between the couple! In previous books, one thing I wasn't crazy about was the secondary characters being nasty manwhores and we THEN had to watch them be heroes in future books. We had none of that. It was so appreciated!
-great catch up with Broke and Deeds and their old ladies
-we even got a short epilogue with a great set up for Ramrod's story.
Ms Schmidt proves that you CAN indeed have a hot, sexy MC book that doesn't revolve around cheating and club whores. It CAN be done!

4 I LOVE Depay stars!
I don't usually read MC books because of too much OW drama. This one has the stamped approval from friends and I dived in. Glad, I did. Depay, Depay, Depay. Even his swearing his sexy. And all that caveman attitude? Damn.

This series is getting better and better! I loved Deeds and Broke, the Prez and VP but Depay, a loyal member of Broken Deeds Mc is the ultimate man. Perfect! I really enjoyed the heroine, Nika too!
"How can he say he’s far from perfect? From what Lips told me about him…the way he stepped up for his daughter, without even waiting for a paternity test, because he wanted to take care of her. He learned how to sign, adjusted his house. He swooped in and did everything he could, like the second he knew I was pregnant. No question or doubt. Protect what’s his." - Nika
"Funny. Fucking. Man. Is she shitting me? I throw out the L-word, and she thinks I’m joking? For now, I just have to bite my tongue and keep this shit light." - Depay
Now add Depay's coworkers/friends' murders to the mix and watch how the MC handled this case. Get ready for twists and turns and watch Grams with Nika's Dad in this one too! The backstory will put you in the feels!
The next story will be *Ramrod and Faith aka Doll's story in the book entitled "Unforgiving."

4.5 stars. I honestly don't know why it took me this long to read this one. I usually read ES's books the day they come out. I loved Depay and his devotion to his daughter. He's so rough looking on the outside but inside is a bit of marshmallow fluff. And Nika/Diamond is the perfect fit for him. She's super sweet and loving but can easily live in his world. I am anxiously awaiting Ramrod's story. I just know he'll be amazing because he's been waiting to meet his ol' lady.

Sooooo....this was the weakest of the series. I did not like what Depay did to her at the end of Broke. I also did not like that he would not have gone back to her. So I just did not believe in any all consuming love Sorry...just did not track for me. Plus, the tattoos are a bit much and the leftover location for her property patch - so freaking strange!
Aside from that it was ok
Safe but I hate dead exes. Now this ex was not the love of his life, but there was something that happened that I really hated and know I would have never been able to live with it in my life. Therefore, it ended on a down note for me.

Depay was adjusting to life as a new father, even though his daughter is four years old he did not know she existed. Now that he does he has her full time and is focusing on her, however he met someone he can't stop thinking about. He has a plan to reconnect once his life is a bit more stable but when she shows up at his club, he gets his chance. Depay had no idea that the woman was former Russian mob princess, Veronika and her father is not sure he thinks Depay is worthy of his daughter. Throw in a murder of a close friend that Depay is trying to get to the bottom of, you have the makings of an wild ride of a story.
I was anxiously awaiting Depay's book since the moment he was introduced in Deeds. His story does not disappoint and had a few twists that I liked. Looking forward to what is next, excellent entertainment.

March 29, 2019I’ve become a big fan of this series rather quickly! I love a good MC book and I can say that I’ve fallen in love with Esther's storytelling.
Depay and Diamond (AKA Nika, Veronika) are returning characters from the other books in the series. Depay is a tough inside and out. However, he does have a soft spot. Especially for his little girl Hadley. She’s a unique and special little girl that has popped into his life when he least expected any changes happening. Everything he does is for her, including putting his love life on hold. He’s a devoted man in general. Honestly, I fell in love with him myself!
Diamond grew up in the Russian Mob, the daughter of a mob boss who has been sheltered most of her life. She’s used to be treated like a doll or fragile ornament. She is anything but that! She’s ready to take her life to another level and works hard at her passion of artistic creation. Now that her father is passing on his position as boss to someone else, she feels free to change things up. She’s such a strong character that you can’t help but feel a connection with her.
Then they meet, and everything changes quickly. Their connection is instant and HOT! Not just because Depay is a firefighter either! He’s been trained to protect and save lives. To run into burning buildings to do so. She believes in love and creating a life for yourself, to following your dreams. When they come back to each other, will their attraction fuel the fires or burn them out completely?
Outside of their little happiness bubble, tragedy strikes left and right. They have to figure out how to stay one step ahead of everything while protecting the lives they’ve pledged to take care of. But the saying goes….when there is smoke….there is fire!
The twists and turns in this book were quick, intriguing and fantastic! For two characters who are in many ways opposites, Esther was able to bring them together in a way that has you on an emotional rollercoaster! I ADORED this whole book!!! Seriously, if you haven’t already read the other books by Esther, go get them all! You’ll end up like me and binge reading most of her books in a 7 day period. Yes, I really did! This is very much a five star worthy read!

He needs to get his sh*t together and figure out why places around town are blowing up and who is threatening his woman. He wants to spend more time at home with is sexy o'lady naked.

A chance meeting
A passionate night
Now binds them together for life
He is a Broken Deeds MC brother.
Strong, authoritative, intimidating and covered in tattoos. But there is a lot more to Depay than meets the eye.
As the saying goes...Don't Judge a Book by its Cover
She is the daughter of a Boss, well kinda

February 10, 2017
WOW!! JUST WOW!! Depay has got to be my favorite book in the Broken Deeds series. Depay is big and scary and if you saw him on the street you would walk the other way, he is also is part of an MC. Add to the fact that he's covered in tattoos and that brings his badass factor to another category! Depay just finds out he is a father to an adorably little girl. He jumps in head first when he realizes he has a kid. He changes his whole life around Hadley, who is deaf. Learns sign language at the speed of light, and tries to be everything for his daughter. Even if it means putting the unforgettable encounter of the women who saves Hadlley out of his mind. Veronika or Nika is the Russian Mob princess, she is surrounded by scary man and has no problem. But Depay is in a class by himself. She can't help but be drawn to him with the way he is with his daughter, and after their first encounter. Now as they navigate their bumpy road they have obstacles from,all around trying,to break them. Will the come out together or be torn apart before they start. Absolutely loved this book and series!!! Depay is my favorite thus far!!!
I received an ARC for my honest review!!

This book picks up where Broke left off and let me tell you it was worth waiting. Nika and Delay may seem like an odd pair but they work together so well. This is also a rollercoaster thrill ride and it will keep you guessing until the very end.

Okay. I have a problem. The more I read Esther's books, the more is harder to choose my fav guy. And now I need to add to a list Depay. He's dark and light. You're threatening his family, you wouldn't find a place to hide from him. But also Depay is funny. Even though he isn't trying to be. I love how he isn't afraid to express his feelings. Depay doesn't hide from them. He just accepts them. The other thing I love, that how he was with his old lady. Depay treated her like a diamond. And maybe I should stop here pricing him. Lol. No need to give a guy big-head. Or maybe we do. Because there were few moments, when he saw himself less and that was so far from the true. Depay is a treasure.
It's really good addition to the series. Even though it may be a little more heartbreaking, then previous. There is few things that really breaks my heart. Did I made you anxious? Well, you will have to live with it a while, until you meet Depay and find out what happens for yourelf. I will just be hush hush and just say, that you need to be prepared to be there for Depay. Yeah, yeah. I know I'm a little meany here. ;)

This is by far one of my favourite book by Esther yes I know I'm always saying how great her books are but seriously if you haven't read anything by her I highly recommend you do. We've seen clips of Depay throughout the other books in the broken deeds series on how he fought for full custody of his daughter. And how he came to meet his diamond.
But now it's time to get the full side of this dirty talking tattooed alpha and let me tell you, your in for such a treat. While he maybe covered from head to toe in tattoos this man has a heart of gold.
Especially when it comes to his girls and family he will walk through the fires of hell itself to protect them. Holy hell when I finished Depay talk about emotional damn it one minute I was sobbing next I was smiling, then I was like fuck that's hot, and then to go to feeling like my heart was going to explode from all the different emotions it provoked in me. I could go on and on about this book but I won't because you need to read it,to get the full on Depay effect and see for yourself why you should never judge a person for their looks but for what it is they have in there heart and soul. This was a 5 heartfelt star read for me.

What can I say about Depay, this is by far Esther's best book. She just gets better with each book. He is a hard looking big bad Biker with a heart of gold. His family is the Broken Deeds MC. He finds his one and only to only find himself her Diamond in broiled is a mess that threatens everything. He is an EMT firefighter and biker. She is the former princess of a Mob. They meet by chance and that begins the rest of their life. I could not put this book down finished in a day. If i only recommend one book this year this would be it.
February 6, 2017
I became a fan of Esther E. Schmidt ever since reading her first MC book. Depay is book 3 in The Broken Deeds MC Series and features the story of Veronika (Diamond) and Depay. I loved reading this book and catching up with awesome characters like Depay 4 year old daughter Hadley, who is deaf. This issue picks up where Broke left off and let me tell you Esther did a fuc.... fantastic job writing it. I really enjoyed and truly recommended. It's really good addition to the series but now I CAN'T WAIT FOR RAMROD STORY!!!!!
January 29, 2017
Wow talk about an awesome book , Depay & Veronika have an instant attraction , he's a sexy badass biker with a heart of gold there's more to Depay than meets the eye and that's what so amazing about this story, he will do anything to protect the one he loves, Veronika is just what this biker needs, hope when you get a chance to read it you'll love it as much I as did, oh and don't for get a change of panties!!!

This is the third book in this series and they should be read in order. In fact you probably should read some of Esther's other books as well before reading this one. All of her books fit together in some way. Depay has a one time in counter with the woman who saved his daughter. He hasn't stopped thinking about her since but he needed to put his daughter first and he did. Now he has found out that his one time encounter has resulted in her being pregnant. And he couldn't be happier about that. This is his second chance with her and he won't waste it. There is a snag thought. She is a Prussian mafia princess. Depay's day job is a firefighter. His day job just may bring danger to his front door and that is something he never expected. He helps people. He figured in trouble came knocking it would be from the club not from his day job. Now Depay must protect his daughter plus his new woman and unborn child. Of course the club has is back but will that be enough? Nika aka Diamond is a fantastic character and a great balance to Depay. She is his home and allows him to feel complete. I can't say enough about this book or any of Esther's books. I am always ready for the next one. Esther is a fantastic author and I can't wait to read more books by her. I highly recommend this book and all of Esther's books.
I was given this book in return for an honest review.

Looking for a book about an MC member that will not only get you hot and bothered but will have you swooning? Looking for a book that is not just romance but will have some mystery and suspense in it as well?
This book is all of those things. You will absolutely fall in love with Depay. He is the someone that if you judged him by the outside you'd think he is just a tough, hardened criminal but you'd be majorly surprised to find out that he is a fireman/EMT, an amazing daddy and an outstanding man to have by your side. Add in Nika who will have you laughing at the craziness and you have yourself a must read. She has a heart of gold that is just perfect for Depay and will really make his family complete.
I have been dying for Depay's story since we left off with Broke and I was absolutely thrilled when I got my hands on this. Esther has done such an amazing job with each and every story that has come out of her mind and I can't wait for what she has for us next!!! She has quickly jumped to the top of must read authors for me.
This book is all of those things. You will absolutely fall in love with Depay. He is the someone that if you judged him by the outside you'd think he is just a tough, hardened criminal but you'd be majorly surprised to find out that he is a fireman/EMT, an amazing daddy and an outstanding man to have by your side. Add in Nika who will have you laughing at the craziness and you have yourself a must read. She has a heart of gold that is just perfect for Depay and will really make his family complete.
I have been dying for Depay's story since we left off with Broke and I was absolutely thrilled when I got my hands on this. Esther has done such an amazing job with each and every story that has come out of her mind and I can't wait for what she has for us next!!!

I loved Depay and Diamond's story. I love how ASL was incorporated so easily and showed what a great man he was. Esther has a wonderful writing style and I love her men!
Depay never forgot Rika but the timing was not right to go after her. He had a daughter to get settled and was determined to give it his all. When the woman that won't leave his head shows up at his club house - it's on. He's not letting her go again....especially after she tells him why she's there. The was a bit of a twist as to who her dad was, but Depay would not be deterred! Diamond was the perfect piece to the family puzzle. There is also always a part of the story that gets me giggling, that was written so perfectly I picture it in my head - in this case it is Depay protecting his syrniki!
Looking forward to reading more of Esther's work :)

Must read.
This book is filled with emotion, sweetness, loyalty and mega sexy time. I totally fell in love with Depay and
Diamond. Their story is intense and loving. They banter had me laughing. Diamond's food obsession had me in stitches. They sexy time has me flushed ;)
SO looking forward to Ramrod's story.

There seems to be no wrong that Esther can do when it comes to writing alpha males who are protective of the women they call their own be it children, family or their ol lady. Depay is no different we seen glimpses of him throughout the series battling and finally winning custody of his little girl. If you're familiar with the series (which you most definitely should be) you will be happy to know that this picks up right where the previous book left off and its about to go down. One chance encounter before dedicating his self to his daughter leads to Veronika (daughter of a former boss) finding him to let him know the results of said encounter. These two have chemistry that jumps off the pages, the secondary characters lights this book up and the action & suspense is what will have you captivated until the end. Make no mistake the one thing you want to not do, is endanger this man's family because then all bets are off. The ending will bring a smile to your face and having you begging for more from this wonderful author and her gift for storytelling.

I am astounded every single time I pick up one of Esther's books, every single time she gives me a read to get lost in, to feel every emotion while reading it and to be just a little lost when I finish. All this is a sign of a fantastic author, I also know as a fan she usually is writing 3 or 4 books at a time going back and fourth as the characters speak to her. This is Depay's story, now we know from the end of Broke's book that he found out he had a young daughter and has just got full custody. The first day she fell in a pond and nearly drowned, rescued by a young women Niki. Her and Depay had a hot interlude when he took her home, now the story picks up a few weeks on.
Depay is loving, caring, hot and pretty much everything you could wish for in a guy as well as an awesome father who has put himself out to learn how to care for his deaf little girl. He regrets that he didn't know about her before or that he wasn't involved in the pregnancy or birth, so when he finds out in an unexpected way that he is to be a father again he is all in, in every way possible. That he has already fallen in a massive way for the women is just icing on the cake, he just needs her to understand and give him a chance. With loads of other stuff going on as well from various directions this is full on excitement and tension, plus lots of love and support all round from Deed's Broke and their Ol'Ladies. I loved, loved, LOVED it. Where Broke literally broke my heart, Depay had me falling in love with him from the first page, Niki as well is loving, caring and funny in many ways. She definitely brings out the Alpha male side of Depay, all the possessiveness comes to the forefront. All the meal preparation is so funny, and those hormones well! what can I say she had me chuckling away. There is some sadness to this story as well that just wrenches your heart, even though out of that does come some joy for someone else. All in all this is just one of those books that will stay with me for a while, I cant let go just yet.

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE this book! Esther E Schmidt has a way of making me fall in love with her characters. No matter the biker, I fall in love and claim him mine. Depay is no different. I love his alphaness. When he loves he loves with the whole of his heart. Depay is an amazing father. A fierce protector and a loyal friend. I adored Nika and Depay as a couple, they were super cute together. I loved that Nika was upfront about her pregnancy, she was happy to have Depay and his little girl in her and their baby’s life.
I cried when Rufus were murdered. Although I had figured out that it would happen, I was still sad it did. My heart broke for Depay and Broke, losing a friend. I was teary for the little boy that had lost his daddy.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and delicious to devour. Although you can read this book as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the first and second book to get the small insights to Depay and the gang.
Esther has created a group of handsome and rugged bikers that love with their whole heart. When they meet their one, they do anything possible to keep her. Her heroines are kick ass and know what they want, say what they want and do what they want. They have the ultimate qualities that I love in a heroine. Esther always leaves me desperate for the next book, and wanting to read this series over and over again.
I NEED Ramrods story now!
One last thing: i am SO in love with the cover of this book!
When Depay discovered a daughter he never knew he had, he became dedicated. Dedicated to protecting and providing for his baby girl. When the woman he cannot get off of his mind turns up at the clubhouse and announces she is pregnant, he declares its fate. Nika is he daughter of an ex mob leader. As a former Russian mob princess, Nika is fiercely protected. Although she tries her best to fight it, she cannot help but want Depay. Just as Depay has Nika where he wants her, trouble starts. When two of his friends are murdered, Depay and Broke are determined to get justice.
