A beta in denial

Rhodes DeWitt has always known he was a lost cause. The Blackwater beta embraces the bad boy label with open arms, praying that the girl next door will never know that the one thing he wants is the one girl he can’t have.

A heart that’s breaking

After spending years in love with the boy next door, Larkin Dawes is ready to move on. Her head knows this is for the best. Her heart hasn’t quite gotten the memo.

The storm of the century

Trapped and isolated together as a blizzard rages around them, Rhodes will finally have to decide if he’s going to watch Larkin move on with or without him.

There are no words to describe just how excited I was to get my hands on Broken. I fell head over heels in love with this world and it’s characters back when I read Sanctum earlier this year. It’s still, to this day, my favourite book of the year to date. I was so excited to read this novella and see what happens with Rhodes and Larkin.

Rhodes and Larkin were two of my favourite characters in Sanctum. I loved them and their friendship and support for Skye and Remy. I was so excited that they were getting their own novella as all the way through Sanctum I just wanted them to get together already. I was not disappointed. Broken is everything I could have wanted and more. It was perfection. I fell even more in love with these two throughout this novella.

Hannah is fast becoming one of my all time favourite authors. I can’t thank her enough for writing this phenomenal novella. If I could have one complaint it would be that it was far too short. I wanted so much more. She easily moved my love of Skye and Remy to Rhodes and Larkin so quickly. I absolutely loved every moment of this novella. I think it was just that much more perfect that it was told in dual point of view. I loved not only seeing Larkin’s perspective but also Rhodes. It made it so much more perfect.

Broken was perfection. It filled me with hope and love. I couldn’t put it down and I never wanted it to end. It’s filled to the brim with sexy scenes and swoonworthy romance. It made me hopeless romantic heart melt over and over again. It was just amazing. I am so excited to see more of them in Prey and I can’t wait to get my hands on that book! If you enjoyed Sanctum, you need to read Broken. It’s heartwarmingly romantic and super steamy. You won’t be disappointed!
