The Broken Ones

by Lucia Jordan

She’s trying to put her past behind her, but some ghosts never die.

Makayla Dunlap had it all and then . . . she didn’t. After a life shattering incident, Makayla is left broken. She made a promise to herself never to be weak again. However, that all changed the minute Liam James walked through her office doors. While he is dangerously sexy, there is one problem.

He’s an ex-con.

Fires ignite and passions flare as secrets and sins from the past begin to creep forward. They have more in common than just their undeniable attraction to one another, and that is . . . their past.

The clock is ticking, and time is running out.

Will they find out who threatens everything they hold dear before it’s too late?

Surprise twists and turns

This book had me hooked at the prologue and crying by the end. It was one of the better books I’ve read in a long time. I couldn’t put it down and am sad it ended. I will definitely be reading it again in the future I highly recommend

Unexpected

Great read! As I got further into the book, I began to wonder just where this story was going. I was stumped and trying to figure out how Liam and Kayla would find a way to stay together. Because, after all it’s a romance novel and don’t they end happily? And then...yay!

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that I found hard to put down. Excellent twist to keep reader interested. Not to mention the loving was hot. Nice work.

I think I’ll be reading more of Lucia Jordan in the future.

Having read a lot of Lucias books in the past I was pleasantly surprised how different this book was! I was blown away by the story, the characters and their hot chemistry. The twist at the end was unexpected. Great writing once again by this great author. I received this arc for an honest review and I feel I have done that. Lucia continues to surprise me. Tvm.

I read a lot of Jordan’s books. Overall I really enjoy her writing style. This particular story had quite a few characters and a good storyline. A few twists and turns that definitely leave you surprised. It is worth a read if you like Jordan’s writing and storylines. I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book and left the review voluntarily.
