Broken Series, Book 1

De: Kelly Elliott

Narrado por: Shirl Rae, Nelson Hobbs

Layton Morris and his brother Mike grew up not knowing what it would be like to live in a normal home. With no running water or electricity in their home and no parents around to protect them, they quickly learned how to survive and depend only on each other.

When a tragic accident took Mike away from Layton and the only other person that he ever let into his heart walked away from him, leaving his heart shattered, Layton focused all of his time and energy into the ranch he and his brother dreamed of. He made a vow to himself to never let love in again. The last thing Layton needed or wanted was more heartache.

Whitley Reynolds grew up in a privileged home in upstate New York. When she landed the star football player in high school no one was surprised, not even Whitley. She dreamed of a life with Roger in New York City and happily followed him there.

The first time Roger hit her for arguing with him about a dinner party, she forgave him. The more it happened, the further Whitley withdrew from her friends and family. One fateful day things got too far. Whitley made a promise to herself and found the courage to do the one thing she thought she'd never be able to do.

Fleeing with her best friend, Courtney, Whitley was determined to put her past behind her and start a new life in the small town of Llano, Texas, where no one would ever find out about her past.

Will Layton and Whitley learn to trust and love again, or will their pasts come back to haunt them, keeping them both alone and broken?

Sweet story!

It was a good read. Female narrator made me cringe, made it hard to listen to.

Good story - Unnecessary foul language!

This was such a good story but the foul language was totally not necessary. Really? When did the F word become an adjective? I seriously doubt that I could stomach the rest of the series due the filthy language.

Cute book

This book is overall very cute, sweet, and romantic. I enjoyed listening to it and intend on listening to the other books in the series. Just beware that if you aren’t looking for a cheesy book, this isn’t for you. Cheese level is definitely 100. There was also so. much. crying. from everyone in the book. Once you get past that though it is a beautiful love story.

loving

I loved the book and narration. women can only dream about being loved that way.

Watch out for sudden outbursts of laughs and tears

What did you love best about Broken?

This is a truly unique story that is well written by an outstanding author. Most of the twists and turns are not expected. You feel like you know these characters and you want to give them the strength to fight for their love.

What does Shirl Rae and Nelson Hobbs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I am personally in LOVE with Nelson Hobbs. I have listened to every book he has ever narrated! He has that smooth southern drawl that could met butter on the coldest day!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

City girl with many secrets meets playboy cowboy and together they learn to pick up the broken pieces and become one.
