Keep reading for a look inside Shattered Sins!

“Penelope is your daughter.”

What?

How?

JoJo’s words swirled in my head. I could hardly focus as I stared at the girl who looked so much like me it was frightening.

For the first time in my life, my legs felt as if they might give way.

Daughter?

There was no denying she was.

But . . . I hadn’t . . . I couldn’t . . .

A mass of thoughts I couldn’t quite grasp tore through my mind. None of it made sense.

The bombshell had me reeling as if I’d been hit in the face with a metal pipe.

And the girl—my . . . daughter—appeared as shell-shocked as I was.

Her lips were parted. She blinked like she’d been in the dark for days and was now blinded with light. And her face was as ashen as I was certain mine was.

I couldn’t look away.

Our gazes were locked in a tractor beam of confusion.

I couldn’t speak.

The jumble of words that refused to become coherent sentences stayed as they were in my brain.

Daughter.

Daughter.

Penelope is your daughter.

She cut her eyes to JoJo, but quickly looked away as if it were too painful. Her face pinched like she’d been seriously wounded.

She took one step back.

Then another.

And another.

Her gaze begged me for answers I didn’t have. Pleaded for me to say something to make this right.

And all I could do was stare helplessly back.

In a flash of long hair, she whirled and bolted away.

“Penelope.” JoJo had found her voice, though she didn’t sound like herself. The word was ripped from her, every bit of pain dousing each syllable.

She chased after Penelope, leaving nothing but silence in their wake.

Was this what it was like when a bomb detonated?

Noise so unbearable one had to cover their ears, followed by a deafening silence that was worse?

I leaned against the wall.

Daughter.

Daughter.

Daughter.

It was the only word I seemed capable of comprehending, though I couldn’t figure out how it applied to me.

My breaths became shallow as I struggled to get air into my lungs.

Through the fog of confusion, the first tendrils of rage wound around me.

I. Have. A. Daughter.

Each word punched through my haze. My fingerhold of anger turned into a fistful.

I. Have. A. Daughter.

The fog turned red.

Rage put a hand around my throat, making it hard to breathe, yet forcing me to focus.

I. Have. A. Daughter.

I stumbled toward the laundry room, but when I tried to take a step inside, I couldn’t.

It reminded me of JoJo.

She’d taken my sanctuary.

And she’d lied.

I. Have. A. Daughter.

And JoJo had stolen her from me.

Cold Book Review

Synopsis: Goodreads

I wanted a second chance. What I got was a repeat.

She was too beautiful. Too smart. And her emerald green eyes saw too much.

I wanted space—she took it away.
I craved her lips—she gave me her kiss.
I screwed it up—she got smart.

Avoiding me is the right thing to do. I’m messed up, tortured, and probably always will be.
But I still want her.
Her mind. Her body. Her heart.
I want it all.

And this time, I’m in control.
No matter what I have to do, I will make her mine.


Note: Levi and Ivy’s story will continue in Book Three—Fox.




Review:

Rating: 4.5 stars

After reading the first book of this series I had to get my hands on the other two books. This book takes place right after Stone. This book focuses more on Levi and Ivy's relationship. This book contains more angst and the cliffhanger at the end seriously almost made me pull an all nighter and finish the series.

In book 2 Levi knows he messed up and he was an ass. Levi is trying to get Ivy to understand his past and how he became the man he is now. I loved Levi finally sharing his past with Ivy and I loved that Ivy didn't just automatically forgive him. He had to work for her forgiveness. Ivy stayed true to herself and even though she was still stubborn most of the times I felt it was realistic. I loved seeing the sisterhood of Ivy and Cami and even though their relationship was strained at times it felt natural. In this book the past comes back to the present and the cliffhanger will make your heart drop and reach for the third book to continue the series.

I will say this book was a little predictable, but I am so excited to start the third book.



Stone Book Review

Synopsis: Provided by Goodreads

First, hate. Then, want. But in the end? Heartbreak.

My celebrity life was supposed to be easy, and this movie was the biggest break of my career. But from the moment Officer Levi Fox gave me a speeding ticket on my way into town, he’s been nothing but a thorn in my side.

Dominant. Cocky. Callous.
Midnight blue eyes, a bad attitude, and muscles for days, he’s exactly the kind of man I should avoid.

But as the Cold, Montana Police Department’s official movie liaison, he’s taken up a permanent place in my life that I can’t shake.

We fight. A lot.

Then, we kiss—and my carefully crafted hate toward him no longer feels so much like hate.

I’m falling
falling
falling.
But how often do alpha-jerks cushion the landing?


Note: Levi and Ivy’s story will continue in Book Two—Cold.



My Review:

Rating: 5 stars

Do not read this book unless you have the rest of the trilogy on hand!!! Unfortunately, my "friend" Ash did not tell me this secret and I stupidly started the book without having the others on hand.  This is the book I received in my August Bookworm Box. I loved this book and I'm so glad I got it.

Ivy is a down to earth starlet, who came to Cold, Montana to make a movie based on a serial killer that shook the little town.

Levi is a hot, broody officer who doesn't want this movie to happen and is unfortunately the liaison for the police department for the movie.

From the moment that Ivy flies into town and Levi pulls her over and gives her a parking ticket sparks start to fly. Neither one of them wants to admit it and both are stubborn in their ways, but somehow fighting turns to kissing and kissing starts to turn into feelings that neither one is sure they want to deal with. I even started loving the secondary characters. This book ended with a bang and I needed to read the second one as soon as possible because I was invested in these characters.

This was the first Max Monroe book I read and I can tell it won't be the last besides finishing the trilogy because I love their writing. This book keeps you on your toes with the mystery of the past.
