Project Shadow Guardian #1
Less Broken
Theon
After I trusted the wrong person, I ended up in a giant mess and clueless how to get out of it alive. I should have been hesitant to let anyone get close to me after that.
Then along came this mystery man. I couldn’t stop thinking about him, even though I knew nothing about him. Not even his name.
He came crashing into my life entirely too fast and I couldn’t run from him. Honestly, I didn’t want to. He was beautiful when he forgot the darkness that consumed him inside. I felt safe and protected with him.
Until I found out who he really was.
In one single night, he made me come alive, and then broke my heart.
As fast as he came into my life, he was gone, and all I wanted was to be in his arms again.
Cade
I was sent to watch over him from the shadows, not get close to him.
From the moment I stared into Theon’s eyes, I was caught. I knew I shouldn’t have approached him, but that was exactly what I did. I pushed myself into his life. I told myself it was to keep him safe, but deep down, I knew better.
Theon trusted me when he shouldn’t have. And I… I took that trust and ripped it to shreds.
If he knew my real connection to him and why I was there, I’d lose him. But I was too far in to turn the lie around.
Even knowing he’d never trust me again once he found out the truth.

Can not WAIT to see how this series goes! Theon and Cade are so so well written, and it was so easy to fall in love with their relationship. How they support and push each other to grow. Reading and seeing just how Theon grows stronger and stronger and was the highlight! He is such an adorable, goofy and all around amazingly written character and Cade only amplifies that! You are missing out if you are not treating yourself to this book for sure! It is a great set up to good things to come for sure!

GREAT START TO A NEW SERIES!! I really loved Theon and Cain. Cain was amazing and was struggling within his own head but was able to put it aside to help Theon out. Definitely had excitement even though at times I wanted to hit Theon upside his head he truly is a sweetheart! I loved Reed and can't wait to get his book. Great book and I definitely recommend it!

Another solid story from Eve. She never lets me down.
Theon and Cade are just so wonderful together. This book tackles some emotional subjects, but is injected with humour at all the right places.
Each of these guys has distinct personalities, and their inner monologues were just so enjoyable.
I am very much looking forward to the rest of this series, as many of the side characters were tantalizing in their own right.
Theon is just adorable. I want to cuddle that clumsy dude so badly!!
Can't wait for more!!!

One of my favorite things about Eve R Hart's books is that they're stable. I know I can always count on her to deliver a beautiful story full of meaning and characters I'm connected with days after reading.
Less Broken is the story of Cade and Theon, another M/M that I am thrilled to share with you. When Cade's best friend tasks him to protect his brother, he never thinks he'll fall for Theon, but fall, he does. Cade is broody and tough, Theon is clumsy and awkward, but the two make sense. Both a bit broken, needing each other more than they realize.
This book had me smiling, swooning, and in suspense, all at once. Plus, the schmexy scenes were hot, hot, hot.

Less Broken was just an okay read for me. I dont feel I connected with the characters or their story. This is just my opinion, whereas someone else could read it and love it. I do recommend giving it a chance. This one just didn't work for me.

This book was about 2 people fighting their own demons and falling in love along the way. Its sweet , funny at times with a medium dash of angst. And i adore our side character Reed. Took a star off because I would have liked to see more angst especially with cade. Overall a good read.
