Broken

South Side Boys #2

by Alexis Winter

Librarian's Note: This is an alternate title/cover edition for ASIN B07WRXPCQT

“He wanted what wasn’t his.”
He stops moving but doesn’t let go of me.
He has a look in his eye…Intense. Predatory. Claiming.
“But I’m not yours either.”
“Tonight, you will be.”

The moment she made that stupid bet with me I should have walked away.
Pretend to be her boyfriend at her high school reunion?

Instead, I lean in and whisper: “Girl, I’ll show you things you didn’t even know existed and make other guys you’ve been with seem like boys.”

I knew I couldn’t resist her perfectly plump lips, the curve of her delicious hips.

What I didn’t expect?

To fall for her. To crave her. To need her.

She thinks I’m just a reformed criminal with a history of bad mistakes and prison time.

But the truth is, the demons from my past are knocking down my door.

Tori Brennan may act like a tough-talking, ball buster
But I know better.

She wants everything I can’t give her.

Happiness, love, safety.

There’s only one thing I can give her…

A broken heart.

3,5 ❤️❤️❤️🌟s

South side boy Kalum has nothing to do wth billionaires and royals. He is an awesome bad alpha boy with a golden heart who will do anything to protect his beloved ones.
Kalum and Tori don’t do relationships but their chemistry is explosive and agree to be “friends with benefits”.
The plot had plenty of twists and turns, suspense, steamy scenes, was very well written, dual pov and fast paced.

This is such a awesome book and so well written that I really enjoyed. The plot, characters and word building were amazing and pulled me in form the beginning and I couldn't stop reading. It's the story of Kalum and Tori neither one doing relationships. Than they meet and sparks fly with an attraction for one another they both try to deny. I loved them both with their banter and their attraction fro each other. It's a well written story with action, drams, suspense, heartbreak, secrets, hot and steamy chemistry, and a awesome romance a definite must read for any fan and I cant wait to read more!!!

Tori and that mouth.

I liked this book. Tori had a mouth on her. I knew she and Kalum would end up together. Two people who spoke their mind and the chemistry was there between these two. Will Scarlett and Maverick be next?

My Favorite - So Fsr

I have another couple of books to read in this series, but this is better than the first one.....to me. I loved the first one with Annabelle & Jaxson, but Malik in this story is my favorite "man". He was strong, intimidating, bossy, argumentative, and true to himself. All in a way that still made him true to his relationships without the air of violence destruction. Love a guy who says what he means and means what he says while handling business in every area of his relationships. Moving on to the next story in line, "Wrecked".

[Kelly Fountain · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this one! Kallum and Tori were fantastic together. They’re both stubborn and had been fighting their attraction for a while. All it takes is one lost bet and a weekend of pretending to be her boyfriend to let things heat up. They keep in quiet and hidden from their friends. It doesn’t take long for feelings to grow but Kallum has his own big secret that he’s keeping from everyone and he might lose everything for keeping it.
It’s filled with heat and action. And holy crap the things that come out of Kallum’s mouth sometimes...he deserved a few more slaps. Fantastic story!

[Lacey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lost interest and ended up forgetting about the book on my kindle for months. I liked both characters in the first book, I just don't really enjoy the whole fake boyfriend/bet making trop, so it didn't hold my attention.

Giving it 3 stars bc I do think the writing is good and the characters are likeable.

Amazinng

Totally enjoyed Kalum and Tori's love story. The strong chemistry between them how they challengeeach other. Loved it. They were so funny. The suspense not know what's going to happen. The friendship within the group. The love was so strong you felt the emotions read. Love this addition to the series. Thank you Alexis.

[Catherine Dimmock · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tori and kalum's story and was as lovely as jaxson and Annabelle's. I loved tori's sass and her bluntness and kallum's too. They both are a perfect match for each other. Can't wait to read Scarlett and America's book.
5* from me a must read series...

Bad boy turned good

Really enjoyed this read, would recommend it to those burned out on the common flow of a romance novel. I really enjoy the detail that goes into the story and the characters.

[Melanie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Just... No.

In the first chapter they play Never Have I Ever and the main character complains that her best friend has never had a one night stand. And then it goes downhill from there. I couldn’t finish. Too painful.

[Annemarie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kalum and Tori don't do relationships, but when they meet there is an instant attraction on both their parts. Both have pasts that make them keep people at arms length. Well written storyline and draws the reader in. Good ending.

Scarlett and Kalum

This author is new to me and I love this series it's filled with drama and suspense. It's about a family fighting for territory while wanting to love their person in peace.
This was an easy 5 stars from me.

[Rose Bassett · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second story in the South Side Boys series. You don't have to read the first story, DAMAGED, about Annabelle and Jaxson, to understand this story, but you will get introduced to the characters in this story and you can understand a bit more.

Tori is now the manager of the coffee shop, Perks, when Annabelle leaves to be with Jaxson. They are totally different girls. Tori is outspoken and not shy. She loves living in Chicago but when she has to go back to the small town in Wisconsin for her class reunion, she is dreading it. Tori and Kalum are always butting heads when their group of friends get together. She always bets him, and she always wins. She gets him to be her pretend boyfriend for her class reunion and things change between them.

Kalum has always played it loose, no relationships. He has a secret that he has been keeping from everyone because everyone could get hurt from it. When he gets pressured to do things he doesn't want to do, so he can stay out of jail, he tries to keep Tori out of the picture before she gets hurt because of him. He hates to keep her at arms length, but he must.

Tori and Kallum dance around their feelings for each other for months before they are finally pulled together. Kallum tries fighting his feelings for her while he has to deal with the problems currently in his life and not put her in danger at the same time, but when he finally gives in to her he falls hard. Can he get Tori back after pushing her away for her safety and his outside problems have finally been solved?

Omg, these keep getting better and better. Kalum is hot! Tori is the heroine we all want to read about. The plot has everything. Add these to your reading list!

[Louise Jewell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome

Kalum and Tori are friends with a fierce attraction for each other. Kalum feels he is too old for her and with a past like his feels he is not good enough for her either. Tori wins a bet and takes Kalum to a school reunion. Their attraction leads to a friends with benefits arrangement. Kalum's past sees him in a difficult situation that he has to keep secret from Tori. Some real hot and steamy moments in this friends to lovers story with some interesting twists and turns.
