Broken

A Forbidden Romance

De: Serena Akeroyd

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Stella Hunter

Forgive me, Father, for I am undeserving when blood soaks these hands that hold Your gift to me.

I am broken and find solace in the darkness.

She is pure and basks in the light.

Did You send her to be my shelter?

I made a vow of celibacy.

She remained untouched.

Did You create her for me?

I am a sin eater, a purger of evil.

She is an angel, a guardian of good.

Did You know she would be my savior?

Thank You, Father, for she is the one sin I will willfully commit.

Broken is a forbidden, dark romance and a complete standalone, performed in duet narration.

Broken is one stellar audiobook!

Broken is one stellar audiobook!
I could not put this one down. The story was incredibly engaging, with its twists and turns.
But the duet narration by Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter just draws the whole story full circle.

So good!!

Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter were absolutely fabulous together!

Jason played Savio so well that I could hear the angst in his voice. Stella brought Andrea to life! These two brought the chemistry as real as possible!

I was sent an Advance Listener Copy.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful

I was sent an Advanced Listener Copy. & Father Martin's story is heartbreakingly beautiful. They both have very painful pasts that draws them together. The way the story is so well written; and the Narrator's narration truly make you feel as though you are living the story alongside them!!

What A Ride!

Broken absolutely floored me. This forbidden dark romance between a priest, who also happens to be a serial unaliver and the woman who stalks him is intense, gripping, and unlike anything I expected. I went in blind, but nothing could have prepared me for the emotional depth and the rollercoaster of a journey that this story took me on. It gets dark fast, but amid all the darkness, two deeply damaged people manage to save each other. Watching how far they'll go in search of salvation is both thrilling and haunting.

Savio is a broken man, going through the motions while still doing his best to right injustices. All the while, his tortured soul grants him little respite. As lost as Salvio is, Andrea is unwavering in her purpose and destiny. She’s tracked Savio for years and, after a long illness, knows it’s time to save him from the darkness he’s trapped in. Their relationship is unconventional, but somehow works. These two truly are twin flames.

The narration by Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter is phenomenal! I was sent an Advanced Listener Copy and all I can say is Wow! Their performances were absolutely unbelievable. I think this may be one Jason’s most powerful performances ever. The way he voiced Savio’s emotional turmoil and passion absolutely wrecked me. Stella Hunter likewise embodied Andrea’s kindness, love and determination to protect and save Savio. Both narrators delivered the intensity and depth needed to brilliantly bring these characters to life.

Broken is more than a romance between morally grey characters. It’s about faith, religion and the trappings of humanity. It’s about two people unwavering in their faith and convictions who discover another way to peace and the divine. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and highly recommend it. 5 stars all the way!

Audio is better than the book!

The book was good but holy father, Jason Clarke brings this story to a completely new level. Keep an open mind when going into this story, it’s different but so good!

Advance copy given

What a journey!

I went into this story completely blind (other than knowing that Savio was a priest).

This audio was visceral, raw and passionate in ways I didn’t see coming. Stella, as Andrea, really leaned into her surety of her connection to the man she knew over time and space for years.

Jason? Flawless performance and truthfully, one of his best. Savio is brutally honest in Jason’s delivery. And when Savio and Andrea collide in Rome?

Twin flames not only ignite, but consumed me in a way that felt right and sure.

This story was told in duet narration and was beautiful, traumatic and healing.

I was under a spell I didn't want lifted

I've been led into temptation, and I make no apologies, because Jason Clarke speaking Italian is smoother than the best fine Italian wine.

The uber talented Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter will have you under a spell with their outstanding duet narration of Savio and Andrea in Broken.

It’s forbidden and dark, very taboo, and utterly delicious. Serena Aneroid delivers another masterpiece and Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter bring the story to life like no other duo could have.

Broken was a twisted rollercoaster ride that I didn't want to end. The time jumps at the end were incredible and gave me everything I wanted for this couple and the family they created. If ever twin flames existed, its Savio and Andrea.

Twin Flames

Hearing the story read out by the narrators is even more powerful than my first true read. These narrators are 2 of my absolute favorite. This is just another masterpiece.

I received an advanced listener copy of this book.

Unique Storyline & the Duet is amazing!!!

What an amazing storyline, quite unique. The author is amazing at telling Savio and Andrea's story. Thr unforbidden attraction and love between a priest and an angel. Jason Clarke, once again does a fantastic job at narrating and bringing every character to life. Both narrators kept you engaged throughout the book.

unusual in a good way

Is it a bit unusual? Yeah it is. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Don't go into this book thinking it is going to be like Serena Akroyds other books because it is truly a standalone. After I let go of my expectations of her books and said Jesus take the wheel and enjoyed the book.
