Broken Kingdom is an absolutely Drop Dead Gorgeous Read! I can't get enough of these Foxy Fae and their Sassy Sweet Heroines! Full of Suspense, Mystery, Magic, Scorching Hot Romance, Intrigue, N Killer Action, The Winter Court Chronicles are Dangerously Addictive! Way less fattening than Chocolate ;)

Ash & Gaby's Story is Breathtakingly Beautiful will steal UR heart away! Stephany Wallace is the Queen of Paranormal Romance!

I love how Ash is completely transformed by his feelings for Gaby that she turns his world upside down and brings out his true nature, awakening his soul to real love, making him see the truly amazing man he has always has been deep inside. He is still Deliciously Saucy N Cheeky as everrr! Lol

Gaby Omg I Flippin' love her to pieces! I would totally want Gaby as My Bff! She is Sassy Sweet Stylish a Super Cool Comic Book Loving Beauty with a Strong Spirit. I love that she gives Ash a run for his money makes him work for it, well a little lol. I think there is more to her than we even know yet so excited about her character!

As Ash sets off on his journey to start his own quest to find the truth he seeks to find his destiny.along the way he must leave his brother Nyx with the Golden Prince for his own protection and still has no idea where his older brother Kyr is after the Dark King tried to lock his brother away and he dissappeared. His journey takes him to Earth were he finds the woman who truly makes him feel what he's longed for his entire life.once he finds the truth he set out to find he and his human return to the Fae realm. He reunites With his brothers and finds his who his real father is. A war is coming to the realm.

Wow! Second part of The story about three extraordinary brothers is just as I wanted it to be and much much more! Reading first one I already loved the characters created and all the realms but this one let us meet them on totally different level and unravel such an important mysteries!! I laughed aloud and felt extremely emotional and laughed some more and that's what great book is about!

[Arceli · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is plain beautiful. It has breathtaking romance, steaminess, and the ability to rip your heart out and make you weep for the characters. Wallace has great strength in writing this novel. There is tons of action and a beautiful balance of many literary events. The characters and the entire saga got even better with this book. Definitely, recommend!

OK so I guess this is supposed to be like we'll love is so strong mates don't mean anything... then what is the point. It's OK to fall in love and choose your mate but not when you're supposed to have one picked out for you. You know, kind of like a perfectly tailored suit. Anyways ash falls for a human. No rhyme or reason she's just fine as all hell and able to stop him from being a whore whoring all over the place. And get this. He went to the human world to find an elf who turned out to be her adopted dad and he died a few weeks ago but left everything they needed to know in a "fake" story that she kind of lost access to because the landlord of father's old place raised the rent kicked her out and kept all of the dad's belongings. They broke in to steal it back, and when they were about to do the nasty he turned into his true form making it impossible be cause he's hung like a tree trunk. No not a branch the actual trunk of the tree. And not one of those planted ones I'm talking been here a thousand years and chilling in a park. We'll anyways. He tells the lady to bring him back after he finds out that his not father is an imposter who killed his mother's parents (and if I'm not mistaken his parents) and is actually holding her hostage which i kinda figured and why I was saying in the first review she could've just told them. Ok so the dragon lord is their dad and I forgot that he gave him a rock like the first son which I don't think lead to anything unless it was the second one put on the mom to... I don't know what it did but anyways. The mom and dragon lord had some clucking I mean ducking I mean.... I guess you know what I mean because the second they got back to the place where the dragon lord and first son was, did they give you answers? Did they have a family reunion? Did they move somewhere else to be safer? Nope they had to make more babies. And I think I realized what my problem was with the oldest brother. Insta love does not work when you've known someone your whole life and that's what was being sold. Sorry I'm broke and not buying. I didn't like it for ash either, but technically it was 2 months for them even though it was boring. Thank goodness it was 2 seconds for me and 2 days for the people in the fae place. So yeah big bro is mastering his powers being taught by good old daddy dearest and I'm still not falling for him and the girl. Quite frankly let the summer princess go. I don't want her tangled up in this family.

Entertaining story; love the fae elements to the story and the overall story with the evil king. Cool magic and sweet romance! This is book 2 in this series and continues on from the cliffhanger from the first book, so I’d recommend reading from the beginning. Kyr and Avrielle are dealing with the fallout from their mating; the King is very against them being together. Ash and Nyx try to do what they can to help Avrielle and their brother, but they each find themselves on their own quests too. There’s lots of secrets and unknown dangers for all the characters! This book mainly focuses on Ash’s adventure; he’s looking for someone and ends up traveling to Earth, there he meets Gaby. Ash is instantly smitten! Ash had a long way to go with me; I thought he was a disgusting individual in the first book. He does improve in this book; there’s a couple skeevy moments still, but once he’s met the one for him, he’s all in. I like Gaby; her introduction isn’t the best look for her, but I liked the comic book angle to her personality. I do think Ash needed a woman that would bring him to task better then Gaby does, but they are really sweet together. Also, I love how supportive Ash is of his brothers, and how protective he is. I’m really enjoying how this series is shaping up! A fun read! Looking forward to reading more about Nyx in the next one; hope he stays adorable!

[Sabrina Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Broken Kingdom picks up right where book 1 left off, you must read in order.
Broken Kingdom is told through multiple POV’s which help tell the story of Ash and his involvement in the quests. Ms. Wallace wrote an exceptional fantasy tale, with layered and complex characters and a well-executed plot. This series is fast-paced and hooks right from the first sentence. There were quite a few lingering questions from the first book and in this book, you will find the answers. This book took the reader on an emotional filled ride, Ash is definitely a swoon worthy book boyfriend. I simply adore this series and am impatiently waiting for the third installment. If you enjoy fantasy, action and adventure and some steamy love scenes, you don’t want to miss out on this series. Well done Ms. Wallace, well done.

[Denise · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book.. book 2 Broken Kingdom (The Winter Court Chronicles)
the main character is Ash he is the middle brother of 3 royal Fae princes of the Winter Court. Kyr is the oldest and then there is the youngest Nyx.. all 3 very handsome and all 3 with special gifted powers inherited from there parents.
There are may twists, turns and surprises that keep you wanting more after you read one page. Ash picks the quest to that his brother Kyr started in hopes to find out the truth of there Fae royal history.. along the way he meets up with the beautiful Gabrielle (Gabby for short) they fall in love as Ash looks for a golden elf the went to live in the human world... he has all of the secrets and answers that Ash needs to fulfill his quest.
If you want to know more about this awesome story of the Fae Prince named Ash.. pick it up and read it for yourself.. I read it and loved it..

[Ginger & Inked · Rating 5 out of 5]

Once again Stephany has blown me away with such an amazing journey. When I read the blurb I wasn’t keen on Ash leaving the Kingdom to go to Earth but once I read it I could see how much it just fitted in with the story and Ash’s journey. The ending I wasn’t expecting even with the small hints along the way. I’m not a fan of reading a book from one character’s POV then the next one from a different character’s POV but Steph wrote it so well that I didn’t mind at all! And you get more of an insight to what Ash is like as Fae (can’t say person haha) compared to the first book. Can’t wait to see how everything is concluded in the final book and I am keen on getting more of an insight on how Nyx is as a Fae.

[Jeannie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This magical world Stephany Wallace continues to amaze me. In this second installment the reader learns more about Ash, one of the three brothers from the Winter Court. Even though this book is multiply POVs (which I love) you gain more of a perspective on Ash’s involvement with the quests he and his brothers are meant to journey on. I loved getting to know Ash better and reading about his growth into a stronger and better man. He’s sexy, full of life, and LOVES the ladies but underneath it all is a kind hearted soul who has a certain need in his life. So many answers are given of questions from the first book. Lots of information you won’t want to miss out. So many emotions you will feel along with the characters. Stephany Wallace does an amazing job capturing all the feels. I highly recommend this series and this book. Don’t miss a great adventure. I’m very excited for the next book.

[Lisa Eiff · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book. This story focuses on the three fae brothers again, but focuses primarily on Ash and the fact love found him when he wasn't even looking. I love how secrets shine through when you aren't even expecting them!

The characters are all amazing in this series, and I really enjoyed the slight twists and turns in this novel that might pass you up and require a re-read if you happen to be zoned out when reading (I had to re-read a few passages myself for this reason). I'd recommend this book to readers that enjoy stories with royal ties and the fae.

[LEAH ANN · Rating 5 out of 5]

The adventure continues...

Broken Kingdom is the second book of the Winter Court Chronicles and so far I’ve loved the story. This one focuses more on Ash, the middle son. There is a lot more to Ash than meets the eye and I couldn’t help but love him more. Gaby is an adorable character with a little spicy attitude and is exactly what Ash needs. They definitely click. The story flows easily and the ending is...WOW, just WOW! I’m anxious to read the third book in the series to see where all the characters end up.

[Alicia Carter · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book and this series. This book is mostly about Ash and it really drawls you into his story. based on his life prior he was cocky and impulsive, did what he wanted kind of guy.
This is his story of being broken and finding a way to be the man he was ment to be as he tries to finish his brother Kyr's quest.
Ash meets an incredible woman that he would have never expected to turn his world upside down but she does.
This story is a must read to find out what happens with Ash and Gaby.

[Laurie Pace · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book. It took right on where the last book stopped. I would highly recommend this book to anyone over sixteen. Has some steamy love reads. I would really love to tell you what is in the book. But that is for you to find out. I can say you will not regret it. I can't wait for the next installment to come out. It's hard waiting for the next book you want to just keep reading. I would like to thank Stephany Wallace for another well written book. It was a joy to read.

[Andie Ryder · Rating 5 out of 5]

Simply amazing!

I’ll be honest, Ash was not my favorite in book one... He was a little too full of himself for my taste lol But to watch him grow with Gaby was so heartwarming and wonderful! He quickly worked his way into my heart, where he will stay. Gaby is so real to me! She was so relatable in every way. I could completely see myself in her shoes! Overall this book was sexy and amazing!!!

[Mary Lou · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story is better than Forgotten Kingdom, I didn't think I would like it much giving Ash's history. Thankfully, it is well written. Gaby was easy to like and was a breath of fresh air, just what Ash needed but wasn't expecting.

Of course, the twists were jaw dropping but were more like a confirmation instead of a revelation. Although the storyline was easier to decipher in this book, it is still worth the read.

[Melodie Custer-luckett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow.... This series just gets better and better..... LOVE IT!!!!

Book 2 in the Winter Court Chronicles....

Kyr, Ash, and Nyx.... These brother are on fire.....

This one is mostly about Ash - Ash has really come a long way.... I just LOVE him.....

These brothers are so complex and charming.... You can't help but to LOVE them....

Can't wait for book 3 and to see how their adventure turns out....

Really can't wait... Is it out yet????

[Stephanie Hassenplug · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seriously, how do they keep getting better?
This series has been phenomenal! Ash, ASH!! He is something else, I knew I was holding out for him for good reason. He turned into someone completely different, I was very happy. Gaby was a great addition to this story, she was perfect. They revelation in this book floored me! I am so happy to see these characters come into theor own...literally! This was mind blowing, read it!

[Samantha Bridges · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! I love reading Ash’s story!! So many happy, sad, and loving moments! This story picks up right where we left off on the last book. This time it’s Ash’s turn to complete his adventure for which it leads him to earth looking for someone. So many thing I want to say but I don’t want to spoil anything. So if you loved the first book I would definitely get this book. You will definitely see why women love Ash!

I seriously cannot get enough! While we still see some of Kyr from the first installment, this sequel focused more on Ash. Stephany definately has a talent for creating an amazing world with fantastic characters. I couldn't put it down and it left me hungry for more. Stephany did such a great job with this series so far, and has proven that she is a wonderful and talented author! I am anxiously awaiting the next book!

[Emma]

I was very interested to see where this story was going to go next, I liked Ash as a character and it was really fun to read his story more.

It is great seeing his personality shine and become so much more with the addition of Gaby, reading there relationship was fun and added a lightheartedness.

It was cool to still see from some of the other characters as well and see the story being set up for what is to come next.

Though really loving Theo as well.

Ready for what is next

[snarky reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Didn’t think I’d like a fae book that intermixed with modern day society but this one worked. I suppose it’s because he’s traveled before and it wasnt like a fish out of water which is what I wasn’t interested in reading about. Anyhow they story continues and ties into Ash where he falls for a human. The characters are great, funny and quirky. The story takes more unexpected twists and excited to read more.

[Lauren · Rating 5 out of 5]

***spoiler alert***
I was in tears for half the book. Ash grew up and stepped into his roll so well. Gaby is perfectly imperfect. I love it. Some of the plot points I had guessed right like the guy Ash was looking for, but it did not detract from the excellent world that is set up. The reunions are so heartfelt and I can't wait for book 3.

[Sue M. Van · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great follow up to Forgotten Kingdom. Dwelling mainly on brother #2 of the Winter Court Princes, Ash lands himself in his own adventure. Trying to do all the things his older brother did, he comes out looking just as good when it comes to family and protecting those he loves most. Like the first in this series, this is a must read.

[Karen Dubose · Rating 5 out of 5]

Truth will set you free

Omg! I loved ash's story. The journey he went through was both joyful and heartbreaking at the same time. The reveal of so much had me on the edge of my seat. This is a must read. If you want a book you can't put down this is it. Happy reading. Btw book 3 isn't coming fast enough. 😀

[Yarelis Martínez · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm loving this series so much! You keep discovering things about each character, keep finding out truths about them, keep getting to know them. I'm so in love with the brothers. They are so different, but so protective and loyal to each other. And it's gonna get even more exciting! Can't wait for the next one!

[Shawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't say enough about this series

I love everything about this series and this book is amazing. It has enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I totally binge read this I didn't want to put it down. The characters are awesome and the world is put together fabulously. One doesn't want to pass up the magic of this book.

[Judi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow

Hooefully without giving too much away I have to say that this one got a little tedious in the middle. Obviously the relationship between Ash and Gaby is important and needed time to develop but at one point I almost wanted to skip forward just to get the quest going again. Still a great read and I can't wait to see what happens next.

[Kara Inmon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldnt wait to read this

I couldnt load this fast enough and couldnt lay it down once i started it!! I read this in one sitting and it pulled me in even faster than the first one and i didnt believe that was possible. Anyone who loves fantasy or otherworld reads will love this seris!!! Dont miss out on this story
