Broken Dolls

De: Kitty Thomas

Narrado por: Troy Duran, Meg Sylvan

A broken woman.

A sociopathic killer.

An unlikely love story.

The house promises a kind master, but the monster in the dungeon wants her. And Brian breaks all his toys.

Mina Calloway always finds herself in the hands of the wrong master: Gentle at first, then brutally sadistic and abusive. She no longer believes it’s possible to find a man who will be gentle with her. After seeing a kink-friendly therapist for months, the doctor makes her an illicit offer she isn’t yet smart enough to refuse: “Let me find you a good master.”

Brian Sloan is a dangerous sociopath with a dark and brutal past. Only taking his sadistic urges out on the women at a submissive training house allows him to sleep through the night. When Brian sees Mina, she should be ripe for the picking, but her damage is too similar to his own. Can he fight past his demons to protect the one person he considers worth saving?

Note: This book happens in the same world as Guilty Pleasures with reoccurring settings and characters. However, it is not a direct sequel, and it isn’t necessary to have listened to Guilty Pleasures first. If you enjoy this book, you can continue Brian and Mina’s story in Brian and Mina’s Holiday Hits; The Easter Hunt is the first novella in this five-novella series continuing their story. They also make recurring cameos throughout the Pleasure House books.

Love the story, love the narration!

I loved this audiobook! The Pleasure House series is my favorite from Kitty Thomas!! After reading Kitty’s most recent novella, “The Easter Hunt,” it was great to go back and listen to the origin story. Brian has grown on me (I admit to disliking him when reading “Guilty Pleasures”). I loved the duet-style narration, it really brought the story to life!

Perfect amount of dark

It's been awhile since I've read a dark book. Kitty Thomas has written some of my favorite dark romances. And this one did not disappoint. It's part of series, but it can be read as a stand alone. I think the love interest in this one is probably darker than the other men in the series. He's definitely an anti-hero, but I really liked him.

Twisted Good!

Kitty Thomas keeps us so intensely coming back for more! You can’t help but get engrossed in this whole story of pure wicked darkness! Narration, spot on! I loved it! Need lots more!

I love Meg Sylvan!

I honestly saw Meg Sylvan’s name and I was sold.
Meg did such a great job with Stuck With You by Ali Hazelwood that I’m constantly looking for her narrations.

This is the first time I hear something written by Kitty Thomas, not bad at all. I’m a new fan!

The story is a pretty heavy, specially with the horrors most girl’s go through. It lives up to its dark romance.

Brain is insane, but I can’t hate him.
When I listen I kept telling myself “thank God,” this is fiction 😂
Because the things he did 😬 yet he had a soft spot for Mina.
Great job Kitty Thomas!

Narrators were great, I love duet narration.
Meg Sylvan can narrate the hell out of a book alone, but in this case I loved Troy Duran.

Kitty Thomas, please keep getting Meg and Troy to narrate your books!

DARK, brutal and might just break you…

Amazing book!

I LOVE anti-hero characters who remain so throughout the book 😀

Brian Sloan is daaaark, scary with a really bad past and he punishes women in the house… in comes Mina Calloway who was looking for a good master but kept falling for the wrong masters… and she finds a therapist who tries to “help” her…

Brian and Mina’s worlds collide…

You just have to grab it… Its a part of Pleasure house series I heard (after I finished) so I didn’t read the preceding book and I didn’t see anything on audible but I can almost guarantee that he was the best of them in this world…

Troy Duran is excellent! Brought Brian to life… What can I say…
Meg Sylvan was good too, she new to me…

Worth a credit? YES! If you like dark daark 😁 if you don’t please skip it so you can avoid bad reviewing, you aren’t going to like it… let us who love dark romance get on…

Wow! I really loved this!!!!! ❤️

I wasn’t sure what I’d think about this as I went into it….but WOW! This was sooooo good! Hearing the story of Brian and Mina was everything!!!! This is dark and demented….. but oh so good!
Brian is a very sick guy and Mina is a very damaged woman. Together, they are magic. This isn’t a typical romance in any sense of the word but one I’m happy to know. He is a true monster to everyone but her. Your heart will pitter-patter.
Make sure you follow this book up with the first* of Brian and Mina’s Holiday Hits #1 — The Easter Hunt. It’s super HOT! 🔥 (Spoiler—Finally things go ALL the way with Mina and Brian 😉)
*At the time I wrote this review, only #1 of the Holiday Hits were available on Audible. If there are more, get those too! You know they are going to be smoking’ hot and wild!

This is worth a credit (and more!). The Easter Hunt is too.
With Troy Duran as Brian…..You KNOW it’s going to be amazing!!!! (And it is!)
BUY! BUY! BUY!!!!!

Broken Pieces!!!!

The narrator's Troy Duran and Meg Sylvan did an outstanding job. They brought this book to life. I really enjoyed Brian and Mina's story. You have to broken people that need each other to feel whole again. They are so broken and abused that they are not sure how to love. Brian wants to protect Mina from the beginning but also struggles with his growing feelings. Mina fears Brian but doesn't understand her change of feelings the longer she is with him. An unfortunate occurrence causes them to question everything and can the pieces get put back together again, stay broken or create something new? Only time will tell!! I absolutely loved it and I highly recommend listening to or reading Broken Dolls💕!

New Kitty Thomas fan

I’m new to Kitty but one book in and I’m hooked. Immediately I want more of Brian and Mina.

The Duo I Didn’t Know I Needed!

Troy Duran never fails to impress! Meg Sylvan is the perfect Mina! The books is narrated in duet narration which means Meg reads all the girl parts and Troy reads all the guy parts. This is one of my favorite Kitty Thomas books. Who doesn’t love a man who is as complex as you are. Brian is probably my favorite male character Kitty has ever written.
They’re both so broken. So lonely. They get each other in a way no one else ever could. A must read/listen!

Spine-tingling good!

Broken Dolls has long been my favorite and I jumped at a chance to listen to the audio. Meg Sylvan and Troy Duran brought Mina and Brian to life! Their performance was perfect, I could feel every emotion from the book. The first time reading it was an experience and I got to be immersed in that experience again with the audio, even more profoundly than the first time.
