Publisher's Summary

"I've quit so many things in my life, but I'm not quitting you. The very essence of you is burned into my soul."

Logan Jackson is all tattoos, beard, and swagger.

With his devilish looks and unrepentant charm, he's a danger to my tattered heart.

Especially when he makes it clear, I'm the one he wants.

It doesn't matter how desperately I'd like to give in to the heated promises in his dark eyes or how my heart always stutters in his presence. 

I have to think about my son and giving him the life he deserves. 

But I underestimated the sheer determination Logan has to break down my walls brick by brick.

The closer we become, the harder it gets to keep the past from intruding. 

And I quickly realize the secrets we keep will either bring us closer together or destroy us for good.

Shattered

A.K. MacBride is a new author to me. I loved this book. The characters are so dynamic. Each character has multiple layers that slowly unravels as the story continues. This is a single parent romance. I loved how Logan and Harper were both damaged from their pasts, but in the end were able to mend their broken pieces together to make something stronger. Absolutely recommend this book. Gregory and Stacy did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life! Can't wait to listen to more from this author.

Loved EVERYTHING about this book.

I've loved every single one of A.K. MacBride's books that I've read or listened to. She is an amazing author who makes characters that reach your soul. Shattered did not disappoint. Filled with real characters who make you instantly fall in love with them. Logan may look like a tough biker guy on the outside, but he was vulnerable and so raw in his feelings for Harper. I loved both of their characters. The narration. Talk about amazing. Gregory and Stacy blow this one out of the water. I loved their voices they use for Flynn, Harper's son. They bring such power and emotion to their performances, and coupled with the power of the story, I was once again blown away by A.K.
I can't wait for more from this small town and what other characters A.K. will bring us in future books!

Second chances!

Where should I start with another wonderful listen by AK MacBride? This is a beautiful story of love and second chances at finding happiness. Harper has been on the run with her son for years. Finally settling in Willow Creek, she feels like she is home, Could it be because of her handsome neighbor Logan? Logan has reached the point where he wants to settle down and smitten with Harper and Flynn. Both harbor secrets which could destroy their budding relationship. What will happen when they are exposed? Harper is such a strong woman. Nothing will stop her from protecting her adorable son(he steals the show) even feelings for Logan. Logan is so patient, ready to wait as he integrates himself into their lives. Love this hero! MacBride deals relevant issues and let us enjoy this couple.

Gregory Salinas and Stacy Gonzalez bring this story to life. Salinas is always wonderful to listen to. He understands his characters and brings out all of the personality traits perfectly. This is my first listen by Gonzalez and I enjoyed her voice. She matches how I would think Harper sound and gives her strength with vulnerability. I enjoyed their performance and I look forward to more!

Really enjoyed!

When I first started this book, I was like oh no. Not another one of these. But I was pleasantly surprised and would willingly read this again. Multiple times.

A wild ride on audio

This was a such a ride...again. I read this book when it was first released and loved it. But hearing it in my headphones on audio was a whole new experience. I went on the romantic suspense journey with Logan and "Harper." I felt Harpers pain and Stacy Gonzalez did an amazing job as her. I felt the emotion and turmoil. Harper is one of my favorite characters. She is so much stronger than she realizes. And Logan... oh man! If I thought he was hot on paper...on audio he's hotter than hot. Get ready to swoon. Especially with Gregory Salinas as his voice. I didn't stand a freaking chance. I felt myself on edge the whole time because I knew the twists coming. An even though I knew what was coming I still felt rocked. I can't wait for more on audio!

Shattered

Such strength is show in this book that I am left speechless. This book has everything you could ask for... fear, strength, love, compassion and understanding. I loved everything about this book from its writing to the narration and I can’t wait to see what the rest of this series may have for me in the future.

Adored This Story

This story drew me in immediately. The heroine,Sara/Harper, is a character who you care about and sympathize with.
Six years later we meet Logan, living in his small home town and with two brothers. He’s big, has lots of tattoos and allows his personality to show. He, over 7 months, has become attracted to his next door neighbor who is very reserved (Harper)
An attachment to the characters is important to me love a story and both Harper and Logan are so lovable. The secondary characters, Logan’s family and Harpers friend, all add color and more life to the story. The fantastic job by the narrators sealed the deal on this audiobook. Narrators are so important in loving a book and these two have perfect voices for their characters, great emotion and timing.
I can’t wait to read/listen to the rest of the series.

Perfectly titled

Wow - this is my first book by A.K. MacBride, but it will certainly not be my last. From the opening dialogue I was locked into a beautiful romance filled with so much emotion and depth I could not stop listening. The baggage and secrets that both Harper and Logan came into the relationship with were at times frightening and heart wrenching. The characters had an instant pull that the listener could feel right from the beginning and it was such a joy to watch them fall in love. Stacy Gonzalez and Gregory Salinas were perfectly matched to the characters. I cannot wait for more in this series!!

Shattered

really good small town story. Girl running from her past, a scary past to save herself and her baby from her Abusive husband. finds herself in a small town and trys to stay to herself, because she doesn't want to get close to anyone because she knows she going to have to leave soon. but ends up falling for one of the small town boys. she trys to fight the Attraction for him, but she can't, she loves seeing her son and the man together. but then out of no where her past comes to her present and its a fight for life or death.
This was a very touching story, so many single mother can relate to one way or another. this book hit home for me. my mother was in a similar situation. so this book did bring back some sad memories for me. but I got to say I still ended up loving the story because there was a happy ending. just like with my mom. well she never remarried but she did leave my father to give us a batter future. the narrator did an amazing job too.

Single Parent Small Town Romance

Shattered by A.K. MacBride is a single parent small town romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Stacy Gonzalez and Gregory Salinas.

This is the second book of A.K.’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved the chemistry between Logan and Harper. I really enjoyed that we got both of their points of view throughout the story. It really brought the story to life.

I can’t wait for the next book in the series Wrecked to be released on audio so I can get Brett and Kenzie’s story.

Stacy and Gregory did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book if you love single parent romances, small town romances, contemporary romance, or romantic suspense.

All the Stars.

I received this audiobook via a promo code at my request from Audiobook Obsession and this is my voluntary review.

This is book One of the Willow Creek series by AK MacBride.

Hot single mother on the run from an abusive ex, Harper has done everything she can to keep her son safe and they move frequently which can be heartwrenching when she looks into Logan's eyes and they tell her he wants the pretty veterinary assistant to consider him her home. The rugged mechanic has been smitten with the hot girl in his brothers animal shelter since the day she started. Harper has never stayed in one place very long to develop friendships let alone risk a serious relationship. Logan has other ideas about that... but just as our sassy single mom begins to consider it might be time to stop running, her past catches up to them both.

Narration by Stacey and Gregory was fantastic and their performance really brought the undeniable chemistry between Logan&Harper to life.

Solid story with good narration

It's really tricky with a subject matter like this to say I enjoyed the book, but I really did. The narration by Stacy Gonzalez and Gregory Salinas really helped to bring the story to life. I almost forgot I was listening to just two people.

Loved it!

When I first started this book, I was like oh no. Not another one of these. But I was pleasantly surprised and would willingly read this again. Multiple times.

My Thoughts on Shattered

What an amazing new story by AK MacBride. This is an author that has only recently been introduced to me, but I have thoroughly enjoyed every story of hers I’ve tried. This book was just the newest one to impress me. Shattered featured Harper and Logan, two broken people who have darkness and pain in their past, who come together and change each other for the better. The baggage from both of their pasts is very heavy and gave me an angsty vibe, but it wasn’t overwhelmingly sad. This was honestly just the right level of angst for me. I loved how from the very beginning I was drawn in and invested in Harper. When she met Logan, I was excited and hopeful for her. He instantly came across as a sweet, caring guy and even when his past is revealed, it wasn’t something to make me like him less. He wasn’t blasé about what he’d done. He was clearly torn up about it and had turned his life around because of it. Harper deserved a good, protective person in her life like Logan and I just loved how everything came together.
Another huge plus in this story for me was the performance by the narrators. Gregory Salinas is quickly making his way up my list of top male narrators. He’s been impressing me with every new story I hear him in. He has great passion and emotion in the right spots in my opinion. This was my first book with Stacy Gonzalez but I think she did an excellent job. She perfectly showed off the excitement, fear, anxiety and all the other things that were going on with Harper during this story. I would love to hear more from her in future.

Captivating!

This book had my attention right from the prologue and kept it all the way until the end. I loved both Logan and Harper. They both had secrets from their pasts that they were trying to hide. It is a sweet and sometimes heartbreaking story of overcoming tragedy and moving on to create a new life filled with love and happiness that was well deserved for both of them. I loved that this story was a dual point of view from both Logan and Harper. Stacy Gonzalez and Gregory Salinas did an amazing job bringing this story to life.

Shattered

By A.K MacBride

Narrated by Stacey Gonzalez and Gregory Salinas

Such a lovely romantic story that I really enjoyed.

Harper has been running for sometime from her abusive husband and has never quite felt safe until now because when Harper and Logan meet there is an instant attraction. However Harper struggles to let herself go and it’s up to Logan to persuade her that he is the one for her as she is not only protecting her heart but also her son. Logan is super sexy and is just what she needs even though they are both hiding dark secrets. Logan is amazing, kind and just perfect for Harper as he adores Logan her little boy. Now there story is not straight forward and they have to work through some stuff there is a beautiful ending which made me smile.

Brilliant storyline

I love this storyline. There’s nothing like a down on her luck leading lady finding herself and strength. This is an emotional book that is written very well. The performance from Stacy and Gregory is amazing.

Harper and Logan!

After escaping her past Harper has worked hard for her new beginning however she knows that maintaining a low profile is a must as the consequences could be dire. She loves her job as the vet clinic, but she lets very few people close to her until they prove they can be trusted. She is attracted to her sexy neighbor Logan, but she knows it is in her best interest to stay away.

Logan is very attracted to his neighbor, but he knows that he should keep his distance as a woman like Harper would never be interested in a man like him once she found out about his past.

When circumstances lead Harper to Logan he is determined to show Harper that they are meant to be together. He is willing to be patient and give her time to know that he can be trusted but he is not about to just let her walk away.

These two are perfect together and with her son make the perfect family. They are real people with fears and insecurities but the obstacles in life have any only made them stronger. The narrators were the perfect choice to bring the characters, emotion and suspense of the story to life. 🎧Audiobook Obsession
