Battles of the Broken by Anne Malcom

5.0

Wow! The Sons of Templar never disappoints and this one is no different. They always bring me on a roller coaster of emotions, but this one was especially emotional. Two broken people, two broken souls that battle their demons every day. We can all relate right? Both suffered unimaginable loss, a loss that changed them forever. Gage just became wilder, crazier, and cold. Swore he'd never be like his brothers and fall for a woman. But he does, and falls hard. Lauren, who suffered the loss of someone close to her, it changed her. He has a way about him, crude like the rest of the guys, but just a bit more, but the way his words come across you can't help but really feel what he is saying. He isn't all flowers and candy, and sweet nothings. No, they are dirty and downright sexy. Lauren is regimented, predictable the epitome of a good girl. Doesn't put anything in her body that can alter her in any way, shape, or form. She spouts statistics, leads a boring life in her eyes and others eyes. That all changes when she meets Gage. He changes her, and she changes him. She falls for all of him, the good, the bad, the homicidal.

I knew there would be some drama, when isn't there in this series, it's one of the things we love and expect, but what I got was so unexpected, it threw me for a loop. Was sitting in the break room at work sobbing. Just when you think you recover from one thing? Bam! Something else hits you, then again. I think my heart stopped a couple of times, I know I literally held my breath and gasping in shock. Haven't reacted like this since Bull and Mia, Bex and Lucky and of course Sam and Gina. This was my first MC series and any others I have read this is what I compare them to and will continue to do. Can't wait to see what Anne has in store for us next!
