**REVISED 3/4/2019** Firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of someone or something. What happens when the one you irrevocably trust betrays you in the worst possible way? That trust is shattered. Annihilated. Nada. Gone I had surrendered and gave in. I opened myself to endless possibilities only to be suffocated by my own worst fears. I let him love me, and in turn, I let him destroy me. This is my story after the bliss faded away. They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Well, I didn’t need to be stronger. I needed him.

I was brought back to Taylorton, Texas in the second book of this series and I was not disappointed.
Splintered Courage was fast paced and had the perfect amount of twists and turns to keep me hooked as a reader. The ending actually shocked me and I am eager for the next book in the series. There better be a next book in the series J.E. Sawyer!
One of my favourite elements within the story is the author's use of quotes as text messages between the characters! I am a big quote fan so this really spoke to my heart and I found myself really enjoying quotes I had never heard of before and the flawless way she used them to communicate.
To intentionally sound like a broken record, my goodness are these fictional men worthy of fallen in love with over and over again. I had a favourite character in Splintered Courage but I think I might now have two with this second novel. (Is it okay to be infatuated with brothers? No matter what you say its already too late!)
As per usual I was gripped by J.E. Sawyers writing and characters and recommend this to any reader who needs to feel like they are really submerged into a storyline and are ready to fall head over heels for some great literary men!
