Review: Broken

Title: Broken
Author: Ellie Messe
(May contain Spoilers)

Synopsis:

Mama didn’t come home.
Daddy liked to hit.
Brothers followed suit.

So I ran.

I ran from that life.
I ran from myself.
I ran into him.

I have no experience with the game board we’re playing on, and that makes this a lethal game. One wrong move and my heart could land in the fire he’s created inside me. Worse, it could lead my past to his doorstep and it won’t just be my blood that taints this floor.

I should run. I need to run.

My father is the devil in a flesh suit, he won’t be happy until he paints this town red for my betrayal.

I should run. I need to run.

Because despite my feelings for Parker Hayes, the devil is coming and he wants what’s his.

Review::
Well first its 3:30 am- and I stayed up to finish this book. Where do i even begin with this review. Normally I don't bring the author into a review, but Ellie Messe is a sweetheart. I was concerned going into this book that it may trigger me- and Ellie took time out of her day to message me and we talked it out. Yes, there are some hard topics in this book- there is abuse, mention of self harm, and mention of rape. But, it is still a fantastic read & i would recommend it.
Onto the book!
This book follows Haley's story. She ran away from her home- trying to make it on her own with a few dollars cash, and a fake ID. She didn't plan on making roots & ties- because she knew she was on the road, but that is exactly what happens when she makes it to Pheonix Arizona. But what happens when her past catches up to her?
She is left with impossible decisions. Does she bare her secrets, and actually let people in, or does she run and break all ties she may have found for herself?
Honestly, I really loved this story. I loved Parker, and Drew, and i related to Haley in more ways then one. This book brought me through so many emotions. And it does deal with some tough topics for me- but I am so glad i read it. I absolutely loved it. I give it 5⭐ out of 5⭐. It was an amazing story, and i can't wait to see what author Ellie Messe comes out with next.
I received this ARC for an honest review.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...

Review: Bad Little Bride

  Title: Bad Little Bride Series: Girls of Greyson Author: Meagan Brandy Release Date: January 7, 2025 Degradation of the Desperate Daughter. That could be the theme song to my life.  Always second choice. Second best. Second born. Maybe that’s what possessed me to track down my father’s most formidable enemy, the infamous Enzo Fikile. He’s the nation’s most eligible bachelor, and the crime world I was born into’s biggest threat, but not because he wants to tear it down. No. This man wants to claim his place within it and if the whispers working their way around are anything to go by, he’s well on his way. And I just offered him a golden ticket, one he accepted with an unexpected spark in his eye. We signed our marriage contract that night, and the deal with the devil was done. I’m engaged to the man the rest of the world fears and there’s no going back. I expect to be tossed in a tower and left there, but my future husband has other plans. Dangerous ones. He wants the world t...
