Shattered
True love doesn't just leave your heart broken;
it shatters it.
When Owen Connors was a senior in high school, one chance encounter with an injured girl turned his world upside down.
Despite her apparent memory loss, Owen and Rayven complemented each other in more ways than his teenage self could ever imagine. Then, just as quickly as she had appeared, she was gone, a woman claiming to be her mother showing up to take her home.
Trying his best to move on, the memories of his time with Rayven just couldn't be overwritten. Using his band's lyrics as a creative outlet, and Serena, his good friend and tattoo artist, as a physical distraction, Owen was still failing to let go years later... but did he really have to?

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
4.5 Stars. Shattered is a sexy thrill ride from beginning to end. The story centers around Owen Connors a sexy brooding musician and his lost love Rayven. The story plays out through twists of current events and flashbacks. It's an fun and emotional roller coaster ride of feels. The characters are an amusing group of friends. The dialog is witty, snarky and entertaining, especially Owens sister Lyric. Oh my word, I was LIVING for Lyrics banter with brother. Shatter was sexy, mysterious and kept me wanting more. OH AND THAT ENDING....holy smokes. I can't wait for the next book.

"You don't know when my birthday is ... That's why I said the day you entered this world. My world. That has to be worth celebrating." 🎂
I was very fortunate to receive an ARC of this book, as I really enjoyed it! Shattered is Becky's debut novel featuring a rockstar, Owen Connors, and his long-lost love. This story contains emotional turmoil, witty exchanges between friends & family, hilarious band mates, and plenty of shenanigans.
I couldn't put this one down because I HAD to know what happened next! I loved the way I was kept guessing between flashbacks, and current events. My heart broke for Owen in so many ways throughout my read, and then that ending ... AGH.
I definitely recommend checking out this rockstar romance. You have me hooked Becky, I can't wait for the next one!!

Eeek! been waiting for this book for ages and it did not disappoint! loved it start to finish. Loved the dialogue, loved the story. So very sexy through and through. I loved Owens interactions with pretty much everyone he came into contact with, but I gotta say the dynamic between him and his fellow band mates was my fave.
Can't wait for book two now.

Loved this book! A must read for anyone looking for a lost love, rocker romance. That ending left me reeling - I can not wait for more from this author!

Being able to get a preview of the book to read, I was excited to start. Having not read anything for a long time due to work and children, this book was something I could look forward to. I was engrossed from the moment I started reading and I didn't want to put it down. Owen was a lovable bad boy who you just wanted to find out if things worked out for him, he really was someone you just couldn't help but love. Everything about this book took in every part of me, the characters were amazing, the writing was on point and the Author did such an amazing job that i'm already awaiting book 2.

Really enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down. Liked the characters, liked the dialogue and the whole mystery thing it has going on makes it that bit different to others in the genre. I actually had to find a second book to read on our 5 hour car journey as I finished it so much faster than I'd expected.
I found bits of it a little far fetched (says she who loves to read about dragons and elves and magic!) to be honest but it didn't really matters as the writing was good and the story kept me interested. The flashbacks were well done and not at all confusing. Looking forward to reading book 2 and finding out what happens next. And after that ending I'm really not sure what to expect!

I couldn't put this down and will definitely look for the sequel (since the cliffhanger was quite mean). The story of a heartbroken rock singer who tries to find a way to live without his love made my heart squeeze painfully while I laughed with and about his other bandmembers and family. But I especially liked Serena, so I absolutely fear for her... more, I want more!
