Phoenix

The Broken #5

by Serena Simpson

Rylee spent her life running with no intention of staying still until Phoenix walked into her bar. She didn’t know what was drawing her to him, but she wanted to find out. Two years later he was finally ready to talk and maybe more, but it might be too late. The evil that has been stalking her has found her, and now; once again her life is in danger.

Phoenix couldn’t stay away from Rylee. He tried. His heart was whispering mate, he ignored it continuing to watch her from afar. He was going to sacrifice himself so his family would live. He didn’t know what form the sacrifice would take. He did know a mate would complicate things.

He feared for her life.
She knew they would hurt him trying to get to her.

They each had a reason to stay apart. But time, need, and desire were drawing them together. They either fought together or died alone.

On the run and in hiding for most of her life from experimenting military types Rylee finally works up their nerves to ask out the hot guy she has been crushing on for a couple of years, and that is when her definition of normal takes a back seat. When his ate asks Pheonix out life for his family once again becomes fraught with danger as he and his family must face danger, not only from the Reaper, but from the people that have been after is mate and an alien snake. (yuk, I'm with Rylee- I Hate Snakes!) Like the rest of the Broken series, this was a good read and though can be read as a standalone, it is best when read along with the rest of the series. No Cheating, No Cliffhangers
I have read and reviewed this as a voluntary ARC.

"I promise to love you." "I promise to cherish you. " "I promise to protect you."

Now those three lines definitely had me! Where they come in the book will be up to you to find out, however. Phoenix and Rylee were so good together. And I loved the humor bantered around between the two of them, and then amongst the rest of the characters.
There are some slight editing issues, but I could still follow and enjoy the story. I think that you can as well.

Another great book

Rylee and Phoenix is a great couple and the story is amazing. I loved that Phoenix turned into a firebird.

Love the Broken series

Actually love Serena's characters. The women are smart, funny and independent. Love how they put their mates in there place. Also love the sisterhood.
