Simply amazing. The last couple of books from Kristen Ashley left me wanting more. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something was missing. Broken Dove has put KA back on top!! It had everything…..action, suspense, romance, steamy sex, a swoon-worthy hero and a heroine I totally adored."A Dove has great beauty, but is easily broken."Apollo lost his wife and has been broken ever since. When he discovers that there is a parallel universe where his wife's twin lives, he pays a witch to bring her to him and his children. But Ilsa of this world is nothing like his wife. She is broken, on the run from her abusive ex husband (Apollo's twin). Once Apollo discovers this, he distances himself from her. He leaves her for months to be with his children. Ilsa spends these months with Apollo's men traveling and learning about her new home. She loves the beauty of the land and loves the friends she has made, even though she feels rejected by Apollo. At some point on the trip, the men start calling Ilsa Maddie (short for madam). She likes it and decides to change her name to Madeline.Once reunited, Apollo starts to see the fabulousness that is Maddie. Unfortunately, others can't see past the fact that she looks exactly like his dead wife. Apollo's daughter, Elen, was just a baby when her mother died, so she has no memory of her. Elen instantly loves Maddie. Apollo's son, Chris has issues though. At first he really likes Maddie. But once he realizes his father's intentions, he withdraws and ignores Maddie. So not only do Apollo and Maddie have to learn to love and trust each other, they have to deal with the fact that Apollo's son does not approve, not to mention the war that's about to happen. There are some pretty big bumps along the way, and Apollo proves himself to be an arrogant ass at times. But love always wins out in the end."I'll tell you now, my poppy, for years, I never thought I would again be happy. Never again." He tucked me closer and finished on a rough whisper."So I never imagined I could be happier."Fantastic!!
