One night, after Julie drags her from the apartment to see a local fight, she sees Kyle, a mysterious MMA fighter with a winning streak and an elusive personality. He doesn’t talk to anybody after his fights, and disappears faster than Bailey can blink. One day during a chance encounter filling out job applications, Bailey runs into Kyle at his work, and the electricity between them is bright enough to light up the city.
It’s only when they begin to get close, though, that things are turned upside down. An old boyfriend and a brutal and devastating past makes Bailey believe she can’t be close to another man ever again, even if he seems perfect. She feels alone. She’s broken.
HEA and no cliffhanger! This is a standalone novel.
*This book is recommended for readers 17 and up for violence, language, and some adult situations.
I read the blurb for this book and couldn't wait to read it. I started it the day I got it and initially stopped reading it at 12%. I was confused as to how the book and the blurb came from the same person.
I read a few other books by a couple different authors and then decided to give this another try. I picked up at the place I left off and hoped things would get better.
I'm not 100% sure what it was for me mostly...the story lines that seemed to be incomplete? At 70% and even 90% I thought to myself, guess this one is going to be a series, and then it wasn't which means things were left unfinished.
I had a hard time with the chemistry between the main characters. I thought Kyle was written very sweet...but I just didn't feel anything when I read their scenes.
In some ways this book reminded me of others, and then in those scenes it would somehow fall flat in comparison - which probably didn't help how I was feeling about it.
Broken was just that for me...awesome cover though!
