This book had some of the most original love (love, not sex, there are sex scenes, but that's not what I'm talking about here) scenes I ever remember reading:  laying together in a hammock in the rain on a tropical beach, riding over a city in a hot air balloon, floating in the ocean while being held.  It's very romantic.  Most of the books I've read in the past few months don't really have the romance factor so reading this was a welcomed experience.  Also the setting is Australia, somewhere I would love to visit.


Tara is beautiful and musically talented, and men just can't seem to help being drawn to her.









Riley is a romantic, sweetheart, gorgeous military man.  He's the man of Tara's dreams, and she falls head over hills in love with him.  He's perfect pretty much except for the fact that he is always having to leave because of his job.









Cole is a hot, sexy, bad boy musician.  The girls fall at his feet.  He has the absolute best since of humor and the strongest sexual pull of any man.  From the moment they met, Tara and Cole have an instant true connection.  He's always there for her.









I loved both men.  I can see the reasons to choose and not choose both.  The story is filled with many trying times for Tara.  Which way will her life take her?  I'm looking forward to book 2 to find out.

Evie is a little quirky which is nice. It’s refreshing how she isn’t jaded or overly sexy. She’s working things out as she goes along. Adam is quick with sweet gestures like offering to cook and give back rubs. They have a few spats that come on suddenly and resolve easily. Their behaviors are a bit wishy-washy and insta sometimes, but their kind hearts are attractive. Evie and Adam are definitely made for each other.
Broken is full of über romance. There are walks on the beach, candles, bubble baths, massages, heart-felt gifts and more. It does have a few detailed sexy scenes, but it’s definitely made for the uncynical in search of a love story.

First off, I have got to say that I couldn't put this book down. I started it one day and finished it in the middle of the night, read straight through.

This series centers around a love triangle. I do like Riley. He's a great guy, but I just don't feel a connection between Tara and Riley like I do between Tara and Cole.

"I saw you two together tonight; I mean really saw you together, for the first time. You are so alike in so many ways, it's scary. You finish each other's sentences, you laugh at the same silly jokes that aren't really funny."

Book one was mostly Riley, and this book was mostly Cole.

I love Cole (and so does everyone else).

"Ah! It's about Cole isn't it?" He fanned himself. "He is like a god, that man. The most perfect body I have ever seen. And those eyes! What a shame he's straight." He leaned in to me and raised his eyebrows. "Or is it a shame?"

"This is Cole. He's my advisor, sounding-board and motivator. He provides my sanity. I couldn't do any of this without him."

There are so many ups and downs in this story. It's not just a love triangle. There are so many extenuating circumstances and devious characters involved. Every time things began to run a little more smoothly, something else would be thrown into the mix. I would be thinking one way, but then something would happen and change my mind. I think if Tara and Cole can just be mature and keep everyone else out of their lives, they would be great together. I think Riley and Tara have potential, but they aren't really made for each other.

The book ends in a CH, leaving a lot of questions unanswered. I don't believe we have seen how important some of the secondary characters are yet. Also, I don't know if we know which direction the hearts and minds of the main three are going to go. Everyone is being pulled in different directions. The future seems very uncertain for several reasons.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of book 3! (And I'm hoping [a:Lisa Edward|7337029|Lisa Edward|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1381451947p2/7337029.jpg] writes in a few a-kicking scenes for a select group of characters.)
