Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Broken by Nicola Haken: Blog Tour, Giveaway and Teasers

March 22, 2016 by Denise

Title: Broken

Author: Nicola Haken

Genre: M/M Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 29, 2016

synopsis

When Theodore Davenport decides to switch his mundane job for a career, he walks into Holden House Publishing with enthusiasm and determination to succeed. As he settles into his new role, makes new friends, and dreams of making it to the top, everything is going to plan.

Until he meets James Holden, CEO of Holden House.

James Holden hasn’t been able to stop thinking about his encounter with the timid man he met in a club bathroom last week, and when he discovers the one haunting his dreams is an employee, he can’t seem to stop himself from pursuing him.

Just a little fun – that’s what James tells himself. He can’t afford to care for someone who can never reciprocate, not once they find out who he really is. James believes nobody deserves the burden of being attached to him. He’s a complicated man. Damaged. Difficult. Demanding.

Broken.

Is Theodore strong enough to confront James’ demons? More importantly, is James?

(M/M romance. Not suitable for readers under 18 years of age due to language and sexual content. ***Please note*** This book contains scenes of self harm, mental illness and suicidal ideation which may pose as a trigger, or be uncomfortable for some readers.)

“Broken is truly a remarkable book. I was blown away by it, by the raw and sincere way Ms. Haken took these men through the roller coaster of living with unrelenting demons. And now, as I sit here wondering if I have to courage to post this review, all I can think about is how far into my heart Theo and James have embedded themselves–and how I hope they never leave. I think it might be too hard to say goodbye…although maybe not as hard as it was find the words that I hope compel you to read this breathtaking book.” ~ Beth, Give Me Books 

“A stunning but achingly painful read” ~ Author Sloane Kennedy 

“This is an amazing book full of so much raw emotion that it gripped me and wouldn’t let up. I felt like I was watching a movie in my head and I wanted to just jump in the book and give James a huge hug. Lots of FEELz in this book.. both good and bad.” ~ Alpha Book Club

My review:The Villain by Viv Allen For the record, I did not read book 1. Because of that I didn't know how truly BAD Devlin was until I got deeper into the story.BUT it is obvious from the beginning that Devlin is a broken man who really believes he has nothing to live for. He has no fight left in him. Until Cian walks into the shed where Devlin is chained up. And Cian isn't all that good either.But Devlin is immediately drawn to Cian and the power he has. And Cian is ready to exploit that. That includes a bit of subterfuge with his crew because they all want Devlin dead because he killed Cian's father. Eye for an eye and all of that.Things twist and turn with some loyalty, disloyalty, rival families and old school wanting to push out and take over the new guys. Something different about this story is the geographical differences. In every mafia book I've read, the territories are close. If not the same city, adjacent cities. Or sometimes NY/NJ. But this was Detroit and some made up town in NJ. Just seemed...odd. But that was just a small part of it.When Cian and Devlin started getting dirty, it was a power imbalance. Devlin was 100% submissive to Cian's 100% Dominant. About the middle of the story that waned a bit but it did pick up again. That power dynamic is super important to who they are.When I have time I want to go back and read book 1 just so I can understand Devlin more.3 1/2 pieces of eye candy ... See MoreSee Less

✨It’s cover reveal day for THESE SECRET YEARS by @augustjonesbooks releasing August 28th! #PreOrderNow mybook.to/TSYWhy you will love this book…🏈college football star x music prodigy🎼forbidden love/secret affair🏈high angst🎼opposites attract🏈grumpy/ sunshine🎼rich boy/poor boy🏈coming of age🎼who did this to you?🏈hurt/comfort🎼mm romanceFour years of keeping secrets, telling lies, and finding the love of a lifetimeSullivanThey say I have a gift because music is as easy as breathing for me. The true gift, however, is the first breath of freedom I’ve had in years—college, bought and paid for by the man who holds my future in his greedy, roaming hands. The first weekend away from him is everything I ever dreamed college would be—a chance to live my own life, form true friendships, and then there’s Knight Winters. The incoming quarterback at our new school who grew up in my hometown is a surprise to me in every way. He makes me question everything. My sexuality, my future, and every mistake I’ve ever made.KnightBecoming the starting quarterback at this school is all part of a plan set in motion since I was old enough to hold a football. As the son of a football giant, playing in the NFL has always been the dream. Here at the University of Southern Missouri, I’m on my way to making it come true. The only thing I have to give up is who I am. I’ve known I was gay for as long as I can remember, but it’s the secret I have to keep to have the life I’ve always wanted.Meeting Sullivan wasn’t part of the plan. From that first night, the attraction, the chemistry, the instant connection has been impossible to push aside and pretend none of it matters. He’s brilliant, he’s beautiful, and he has secrets, too, secrets that are on the verge of breaking him. My obsession ebbs and flows with the seasons here at school, but when we’re back in our hometown, I find myself with a choice I never thought I’d have to make: whether football can give me the life I want, or if it’s him.✨INFLUENCERS: Sign up here to promote this release: bit.ly/TSYSIGNUPCover Credit: winni james design#coverreveal #augustjones #mmromance The Author Agency ...

He keeps talking about loose ends, but I know he'd never really hurt me.He's just fighting what we both know is inevitable.We're meant to be together.

I’ve had a stalker before, and apparently—even after involving my friend from the FBI—he’s decided to come back and make my life hell.But this time, however, a slightly terrifying stranger shows up to play hero.He knocked my stalker on his ass and left me with blood smears on my jaw and a kiss on my lips so devastating, it threatened to rearrange my whole life. And then he disappeared into the shadows.But just when I think I’ll never see him again, I find him haunting my steps everywhere I turn.It’s not long before I realize hunting me might be his love language, and god help me, I think I’m into it. Especially when each time he catches me, he leaves me breathless and wanting more.My stalker is still around, but being with Archie is worth whatever the unwelcome blast from my past wants to throw at me.After all, having a boyfriend with a thing for knives, coffins, and funeral flowers is a great way to protect myself, and if his obsession and love for me isn’t enough to take my stalker down, my determination to get my happily ever after will.Hunt Me is the first book in the morally grey rom-com series Murder Hearts. It’s a spicy, MM stalker-to-lover romance with forced proximity, coffins as a special interest, an Autistic MC, a Deaf Drag Queen who doesn’t have time for anyone’s BS, stalking as a love language, a set of lovable murder brothers, an unhinged cat café, and a steamy, swoony, happily ever after.#newbookalert #corarose #emlindsey #mmromance The Author Agency ...
