The Broken Parts of Us (The Broken #2) by Ker Dukey Blog Tour & Giveaway

Some people search their whole life for a connection — a reason to be here, and feel life in all of its intensity.. But what if you never wanted to experience that emotion?

Jasper lived his life coldly determined never to fall in love. Some people impact your life in a moment, but will stay in your life forever. What if an irresistible force crashes into you — not once, but twice, and from a totally unexpected source?

Jasper must overcome past demons that are still plaguing him and his friends. He must face future choices he never knew he would have to make. Sexual chemistry can come in all forms. When the lines blur between friendship, love and lust, a new darkness finds its way into their lives. Either these relationships survive or die forever broken…in The Broken Parts of Us.

Jasper

She stirs something inside me, primal and deep, that I refuse to give knowledge to. She’s also my wet fucking dream. I want inside that tight little body so bad, but she’s important to River, and as bad as I want her, I know I won’t want her for longer than my needs take to be satisfied. So I don’t pursue her, even though when she smiles at me, all nervous and coy, my dick strains against my jeans. I have to hold him there to stop him from tearing through and slithering up her leg. Now look at me, fucking locked into a relationship I don’t want to be in with a kid on the way I had never planned on having.

My thoughts vanish when the door to the studio opens and Kyra steps out with fucking Hannah and her sister in tow. Kyra’s eyes find mine and she offers a timid wave. She looks so sweet in her skin tight leggings and tank top. Fuck, her body is lean, but she still as curves in all the right places. Her dark red hair looks like the colour of the fancy wine Derek drinks; her pouty red lips would look so perfect around my dick. it twitches to life with my thoughts, but it’s her eyes that do it for me. they’re dark green like the grass in wither, and they have a sparkle like small pieces of crystal embedded in an emerald.

Fuck! What a pussy I’m being. Crystal in emeralds? What the Fuck?

ARC received for an honest review.

Holey Buckets! Where do I even begin! Let me say that I loved The Broken, the first book in the series. I fell in love with the characters in the first book. I fell in love with them all over again in this book. Oh my goodness! I really think I may have loved this book even more that the first, if that’s even possible! It was HOT! SCORCHING! There was so much sexual tension in this book between Jasper, Derek, and Kyra. If I had wanted to put the book down for even a second, I would have hopped into a cold shower to cool down. But nope! Couldn’t put it down. Didn’t want to. I was glued to my kindle for the duration of the book.

This is Jasper’s story. We met this God in the first book. He’s Sammy’s best friend who tags along with him. He’s the male whore who will pretty much do any woman with two legs and a vagina. But at the end of the day, he would do anything for his friends and family. A happy go lucky sort of guy you can’t help but love. Kyra is a friend of River’s who is working at the dance studio. Jasper is very attracted to her, but since she’s important to River, he stays clear.

Derek is the detective from the first book who sort of takes in everyone. He becomes family. Jasper stays at Derek’s after River and Sammy move out. They are good friends. Derek has a secret though. He has strong feelings for Jasper. Jasper is feeling something for Derek and is very confused by the feelings that war inside him. Derek starts spending more time with Kyra after she starts getting threatening notes and women start becoming attacked.

Soon Jasper is trapped into a relationship he doesn’t want. It seems his loose nature has gotten him into a little bit of trouble. Hannah, a snarky, spoiled rotten girl is claiming to be pregnant with his child and he will do the honorable thing by sticking with her. Do you see this fubar’d situation?

This book has everything the other book had plus some mystery whodunit and suspense. I’m hoping to see more of this “Broken” family. Another 5++++ read for me!

The Broken (The Broken #1)

When River’s already broken life shattered further on her sixteenth birthday, she was forced to be with the wrong best friend of her brothers. She was meant for Sammy but circumstance and black mail forced her into a relationship with Danny, a troubled, abusive partner. Leaving the only boy she ever loved to flee. Now four years later he has returned. When her feelings and missing parts of herself that left with him return also, loyalty, restraint and love will be tested. Can she find a way to leave the threatening clutches of Danny, to finally be saved by her childhood love? Or will Danny’s hold on her tighten when more life shattering events consume their already troubled lives?

When Sammy returns home, after four years of being away from the girl that broke his heart, he’s not prepared for all his old feelings to force their way straight back into his heart. Questions that were left unasked when he left begin to plague him, when the sudden relationship between River and Danny all those years ago seems all the more confusing now. Secrets, mistrust and Danny’s possessive behaviour sends up red flags and Sammy begins doubting himself for leaving in the first place.

When the spark between Sammy and River finally ignites it will leave explosive consequences for everyone.

This book was all kinds of messed up, and when I say this, I mean it in the best way possible. This book has so much emotion in it. I think it made me feel everything possible. Fear, Anger, Sadness, Sexual, Rage, Heartbreak, Humor. This book had it all. There was hot sex. HOT HOT sex. There was love. There was action. There was comedy. I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down even if I wanted to. I devoured this book and couldn’t wait to read The Broken Parts of Us.

River has only loved one man, Sammy. He was her brother’s best friend. Just when it was time for her to be with him, tragedy reared its ugly head, changing the course of her life and her brother’s life dramatically. Instead, Danny, her brother’s other friend wormed his way into her life leaving her trapped in a relationship that she never wanted. An unhealthy relationship full of blackmail, control and abuse. Heart broken and confused Sammy leaves town for college and never looks back. The only thing left for her is her dancing.

Fast forward 4 years later. Sammy comes back home to find he still has deep feelings for River and she for him. Blaydon, River’s brother, struggles with addiction and his own demons. When Danny leaves town for work, River and Sammy find that they have time to spend together. She’s finally relaxed and happier than she has been for a long time. But how long can this last. When Danny returns, things will have to go back to the way they were. What can be done to get her and her brother out from Danny’s grasp?

This book had me reeling. An emotional roller coaster all the way through. I connected with the characters in such a way that I felt everything they felt. I was going through everything they were going through. Amazing book. I highly recommend it. 5+++++ stars from me. Well done!
