The Jamenson men may be strong but their women are stronger. This was my tweet when I started reading Shattered Emotions.  It absolutely amazes me how every man talks himself or tries to talk himself out of his feelings for one reason or another.  Thus the tension in the stories.Maddox is the Omega of the Redwood Pack and has always assumed he would never take a mate.  His gift or curse is the ability to feel every single pack member's emotions where at times he has to remove himself to stay sane.  From the time Maddox met Ellie he was fighting his wolf and himself of his feelings for her.  He knew she was his mate and he was bound and determined not to let it happen.  As the Omega he could not willing put his mate through the mental and emotional torment he went through every single day of his life. Maddox's twin North was very affectionate towards Ellie but not for the reason's Maddox imagined.  So Maddox tried to push the two to mate thinking Ellie was North's mate.In the opening chapters during Adam and Bay's mating ceremony something terrible happened (not telling you, need to read) which threw suspicion on Ellie.  The Alpha, Edward knew Ellie was not responsible but in order to trap the traitor he was forced to send Maddox, North and Ellie out of the pack on their own to make it look like he was removing her from the pack and the two brothers decided to leave with her.  It was during this time that North revealed to Maddox that Ellie was not his mate and why he was protecting her, his wolf was not happy that Maddox was not claiming her.  Since they were twins their wolves were bound and North's wolf knew until Maddox got hold of his senses they would have to watch over and protect her.  Edward told the brothers while they were away from the pack they needed to discuss and take care of the problem between the three of them.  Finally the dialog between Maddox and Ellie was started but still very guarded.Maddox was leading them to the cabin the Jamenson's used that was off pack land and not protected by the wards. It is here at the cabin they are attacked by a wolf.  Ellie put her senses out and knew the wolf was not from the Central Pack.  Here is where we are introduced to Logan, Lexi, Logan's sister and Parker, Lexi's son.  Now you get a sense as this part of the story progresses there is some instant attraction between North and Lexi but we won't know until we see where Carrie takes this.Carrie Ann goes into just enough detail as a flash back how Maddox got the scar on his face and I was shocked to find out who actually set him free when he had been captured by the Centrals.  You get plenty of action/battles with this story, you are introduced to another character named Charlotte a five year old child, when Maddox once again is blindsided and captured and tortured by Corbin.  You will also be shocked to find out who she is.  At another point inside the Central Pack's walls and wards when Ellie and Maddox return to rescue the little girl a battle ensues  and I literally lost my breath at the scene that unfolded.  I was shocked, and was thinking oh no not another twist like in Adam's story.  This is all you will get from me.  I don't want to ruin the story for anyone.Carrie Ann I give Shattered Emotions 5* and your readers will not be disappointed.  I can't wait to see what's next.  Is it North and Lexi, could it be Cailin and Logan.  Only Carrie Ann will tell.
