Once Broken

by Maureen Driscoll

Introducing the Carmichaels, a sexy, contemporary romance series about a wealthy, close-knit family from Los Angeles. Rhys Carmichael is famous for being famous. A regular on the red carpet with no job or known ambition, he's the target of vengeful exes and fortune hunters. But the truth is, he's just never found his purpose in life. That all changes when he's sent to the Carmichael ranch in Montana to look out for the family's interests. Paleontologist Tamona Finley could be close to the discovery of a lifetime as she digs on the Carmichael ranch in a section of Montana known for being rich in fossils. But time is running out on her lease for the dig site and if she doesn't discover something big soon, it could all be lost to oil drilling. She has to work fast, but it's difficult to keep her mind on work when sexy Rhys Carmichael keeps his eyes on her. Maureen Driscoll is the author of three Regency romance the Kellingtons, the Emersons and Jasmine Cottage, as well as the Remington Mansion cozy mystery series. Like all of her romances, ONCE BROKEN is a sexually explicit novel leaving nothing to the imagination. Literally nothing. It's all spelled out on the page. If this isn't your thing, you won't be happy. For the rest of you, please enjoy a family who will steal your heart.

[Chessela Helm · Rating 5 out of 5]

Maureen Driscoll's first contemporary is a winner! The heroine and hero are both people I'd like to hang out with, and his family that will in the rest of the series are skillfully drawn to tempt us into later books. Looks like the series will hop around a bit in terms of locations, so don't feel like this is going to be six books of Montana ranches. But if you love Montana ranches, hey, read this book! Then you'll get hooked and read the rest. Everybody wins. Highly recommended.

Fantastic

I loved the book and am delighted to know it's the first of a series. Keeping coming. Don't make the eldest brother last. He's interesting.

I was delighted with this new direction in a contemporary novel from this author. I didn't like the time travel book, but loved this one. I'm excited to see she is going to write about the whole family as she has in the past -- it is a lovely gimmick and keeps me reading. This was interesting and i couldn't put it down. Of course, the romance was enjoyable, but it was never the only reason to read this fascinating book which is set in contemporary Montana. Nicely done!
