I loved Jasper in The Broken as the funny, cheeky, cocky horndog that he was and was looking forward to his story expecting, as probably many of us were, for it to be about his escapades as he followed his tail and did his best to avoid love and commitment. I also fell for the mysterious Derek too and was hoping to get more of a glimpse of him in Jaspers book and learn more about him. Wow is all I can say about the story we got from Ker, it was not what I was expecting at all.We find Jasper in a desperate situation with his current squeeze that has his friends concerned for him and Jasper desperately unhappy as well as struggling to deal with the memories of the episode with Danny that nearly cost him his life. My heart broke for Jasper, he was not the same guy we met in the Broken and I desperately wanted him to be happy again but truly happy this time. As River and Sammy have moved on as a family, Derek is the one helping Jasper to cope with his continuing turmoil but their friendship has become strained too though not for the same reasons they both believe. Derek has feelings for Jasper but how will it affect their friendship if he reveals the truth??Derek has a new case that is hitting a little close to home and the group rally round to help protect River and the girls working at Twinkle Toes causing both Jasper and Derek to become close to Kyra, a dance teacher that has been targeted. And Kyra a sweet shy inexperienced girl has grown feelings for the two men protecting her too. With a stalker targeting the group and their associates who will be in the line of fire and danger, can Derek solve the case before any of them come to harm again??Between the three of them there is a great build up of feelings that soon come to a head in a way I was not expecting but loved when it did. Will Jasper stay with his current squeeze and leave Derek and Kyra to become a couple?? Is that what any of them really want??We also catch up with River, Sammy and Mikey to learn how River is coping with Mikey and her fears that he is Danny's Son after all. Will a DNA test put their fears to rest??Read The Broken Parts of Us to learn the answer to these questions and enjoy another great story by Ker that shows how a family is made up of those we hold dearest to ourselves and not necessarily by blood, as these guys rally round and support each other through all sorts of problems and issues with a great bond and love between them.
