Courtney Cole creates the most deliciously sexy alpha men in her Beautifully Broken series. They are all a fantastic mixture with bad-boy attitudes and fierce devotion. I fall in love all over again with each new release. If you haven’t experienced the spell these men can put you under, I highly recommend you get started.Brand Killien was introduced in previous novels as Gabe’s best friend and the man secretly in love with Jacey. After he was dealt the heartbreaking blow by her rejection, I couldn’t wait for Brand to receive his own story. He definitely deserves some happiness after selflessly helping others for so long. Brand is quite dreamy and easy to swoony after.Nora Greene has been secretly pining after Brand since she was a teenager but figured he never took notice of the girl four years younger than him. An unexpected accident causes a lot of problems but it allows Nora some quality time with Brand and she plans to take full advantage. I loved her take-charge behavior when it came to getting her way. Nora made me giggle several times with her brash, unashamed mannerisms for getting Brand into bed. It was very entertaining to read.Brand resists the fiery redhead as long as possible but eventually his body takes over. Have I mentioned the fantastic sex scenes this author is capable of? Sit back and enjoy! Brand and Nora set the pages on fire with their passionate chemistry. Even though they are extremely compatible between the sheets, both are hiding painful secrets that could easily destroy the bubble of bliss they are surrounded by.I appreciated Nora helping Brand cope with his difficult past and haunting memories. She was exactly what he needed in order to find peace and Brand quickly realizes how wonderful a life with Nora could be. What Nora is hiding is awful and horrific so she continues to keep it bottled up. Every scene related to her father or upcoming “obligations” gave me the creeps. I am fairly confident in this author’s ability to write a deeply dark romance if that possibility ever interests her.Once again I was effortlessly swept away by this outstanding writing and exciting storyline. The dual perspectives were weaved together seamlessly and added further understanding to the complex thoughts both characters harbored. I was absolutely taken by Brand and he absolutely earned his role among the other Beautifully Broken men. He swooped in and rescued the distressed Nora like the naughty Prince Charming he is. Good thing he had a strong woman to save him as well. Enjoy!
