Fractured

Not Quite a Billionaire, Book 2

De: Rosalind James

Narrado por: Emma Wilder

What do you do with a person who's out of control and won't listen to reason? Especially if that person might be you?

When I'd taken Hope Sinclair and her sister to New Zealand to meet my grandfather, I'd known I'd be making the return journey as her husband. I hadn't reckoned, though, on the demons of my past coming back to threaten our future. And, as always, I hadn't reckoned on Hope.

I had hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of employees to tell me I had better judgment and more self-discipline than most people, and neither my self-control nor anything else I possessed had been won the easy way. That was why I was a New Yorker with a fashion empire instead of a dirt-poor Maori boy in New Zealand with too much tattoo, too many muscles, two alcoholic parents, and not much more. So why did Hope continually dig in her heels and refuse to go along with my perfectly rational plans? And why did I keep compromising?

Because I couldn't resist her, couldn't say no to her, and couldn't stand to see her unhappy, that was why. And there's more than one way to bring a strong man to his knees.

Note: This book contains one Maori multimillionaire with control issues, one fierce blonde with a mind of her own, and some very dirty loving.

if you read fierce, you need to read fractured

wow, if you read fierce, you really need to read fractured, as all the excitement from the first book continues in this book

if you are like me and gets into the characters and yells at them, then you will definitely be yelling at the characters during the book as I was

as they will just drive you crazy

This is the first time that Rosalind has continued the same characters into a 2nd book and I love it as I love long series of books with the same characters in each book

I now have to try and patiently wait for the book 3 in the series to find out how Hope is going to drive Hemi crazy as you know she always does if you read the first book

can not wait

Great!

When it comes to billionaire books this is an excellent one! Not only does it have all of the "requirements" it has a plot and likeable characters. The story is wonderful and the narration is so easy on the ears. Enjoy ladies!

Another Winning Combination of Story & Performance

Any additional comments?

Did you ever wonder what happens after she says yes? Here is part of that story, beautifully performed by Emma Wilder. Hemi tries to control his and Hope's universe and, as can be expected, this does not sit well with Hope. So the battle of wits continues which makes for some frustrating listening. However the hot, steamy scenes definitely make up for it.
Fracture does end in a cliff hanger but the story and the performance are very much worth the investment of time. I am greatly looking forward to rest of Hemi and Hope's story.
I love Rosalind's stories and the pairing with Emma's performance is perfect. This is an ideal way to spend a cold winter's night.

Another Great Book in this Series!

The second book was better than the first. Hope and Hemi are great characters. I love a strong female character and Hope is definitely that. I love that she has a back bone and is willing to go toe to toe with the dominating, bossy, alpha male that is Hemi. Narrator did an awesome job. Can't wait to listen to the 3rd book.

After I Love You,...

Any additional comments?

I just finished this book and I'm speechless because it is not at all what I expected.

What I expected was a part 2 in a three part series that was like all the others, where basically it is like the middle of the book and not very satisfying. That's definitely not what I got.

I was happy with how part one ended and had no burning desire to see what happened to Hope and Hemi next, mainly because I enjoyed how I could see how the story ran parallel to the book in which it first appeared as a story within a story, the Escape to New Zealand book Just in Time. When I got to the first obstacle for Hope and Hemi in this book, I thought...."oh no, I'm going to have to skim this because I don't like people from the past being drug into my good stories to mess things up."

That, however, did not happen. What happened was a lot of working through things that had little to do with that past person, and everything to do with what Hemi and Hope needed to do to make things work now. Just like in the first installment, this book does deliver the promise to those who like to read erotic romance, but it also adds so much more because the emotions are moving the story forward. In this case, the emotions just happen to result in some very, very intense encounters.

Needless to say, there was no skimming involved in this book once I got into it and I couldn't put it down until I was finished. It does contain a cliffhanger, but there is an end date in sight and it's not long. I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.
