Broken Trust
Can Erebus hide his past without losing his future?
Erebus
Four years ago, I had it all.
Women, money, power and ego. Before one wrong move lost it all.
Forced to change my name, I used my body to pay my debts. Yes, you can judge my morals but my parents didn't deserve to lose their life savings because they trusted their son, and my body was the only asset I had to use.
Now, I've found a new town and one woman to love. But one lie is leading to another and eventually, all roads will lead to the truth.
If Felicity finds out, I'll lose the woman I never deserved.
Felicity
I was always the good girl. Until the mysterious Mr. E. walked into my life.
His body can command a room as quickly as his eyes can command my heart.
Only he's hiding a secret and I'm terrified of learning his truth.
After all, Erebus could have any woman. Why would he want just me?
Felicity never wanted to love a bad boy. But Erebus stole her heart from their first kiss. If you love your alpha males, you'll want to know who is Erebus and get Broken Trust today.

I received Broken Trust written by author Kenna Shaw Reed in exchange for my honest opinion and feedback. I was not coerced or compensated for it.
Not only does Erebus have a seductive name, but he also has a devilish body. From having it all to losing it all, he is forced to do unimaginable things in order to survive.
He isn't proud of some of his choices, but you have to do what you have to do to survive, right? Where does this leave love, though?
Before he can forgive himself and open his heart to another, Erebus has a few choices to make... Where will go? Where will escape to?
Felicity, a teacher, always seems to be friend zoned. She wishes she had someone to spend time with, to love, never did she think it would be a man like Erebus.
When they first met Felicity was helping her friend sell a house, possibly to the sexy man before her.
He turned up late, she thought he was self-absorbed and wasn't sure if he was full of himself. Was she willing to give caution to her feelings and for once have a man as sexy as him?
There was something holding them both back though... a big big lie.
I loved the way this story unfolds. It is extremely well written. Although at times I wasn't a fan of Erebus, and had many discussions with the author about his character, for me personally not because it was badly written, that's what makes for a really great read. Gets you thinking. It drew a reaction from me!
The characters both had so much appeal. Erebus wasn't the self-absorbed man that I thought his character to be. Maybe stereotypical from his profession??? He had a huge amount of insecurities, weaknesses, vulnerabilities but with each layer you see the beautiful, caring man underneath.
Felicity grew and let go, found a way to be true to herself... and she wasnt so uptight. She was able to breathe and explored her own sexuality. She tested boundaries in and out of the bedroom.
I found myself imagining the story playing out in front of me.
There was an emotional connection to the characters, the story, the situation and the small town they live in.
I would recommend this book and if you haven't read Kenna Shaw Reed yet, I highly recommend it.

Who Is Erebus is the first book I have read by Kenna Shaw Reed and I have to admit it was a very unique storyline unlike anything I have ever read. The relationship between Erebus and Felicity is secretive and sizzling. I recommend this well written bad boy/good girl romance. It’s definitely worth your time and money!

A different style from the Kenna I have come to know but still a great page turning read.
Was Erebus a fake or did karma play a part? Riches to rags & back to empty riches until he met the best thing that could have ever happened to him... Felicity. It wasn't the easiest read for me due to personal experiences but, as always with this gifted author, it was compelling.

This was a hot steamy erotic romance story perfect for a quick afternoon read.
A great heart pounding read. The story was very well written with great characters. It drew me in and I had it finished in one sitting. I would highly recommend this read.
