Once again, I have to praise Shiloh Walker's writing in the Romantic Suspense genre. Her storylines are captivating, and the intrigue keeps the pages turning until the very end. Broken is no exception. It will take you on an exhilarating ride!! Her characters are ones that stay with you long after the last page has been read. The suspense has twists and turns that you don't see coming. And the passion that ignites between the two main characters is smokin' hawt!!!

Quinn Rafferty works his way into your heart without you even knowing it. He is a tortured hero, tormented by his past both as a child and as a Ranger...yet, he has a strength of character that shines through. You just want to wrap him up in your arms and show him what love is all about. He is protective of Sara, but he doesn't overpower her with possessiveness. After leaving the Rangers, he started working as a bounty hunter for a private detective agency. Knowing he has his "own soul to mend" before he can worry about anyone else...he still can't help but be drawn to Sara and her secrets.

Sara is a strong character also. She is not portrayed as one of those "damsels in distress." Yes, she is on the run...but, she has taken care of herself...not leaning on anyone. Her secrets are hers alone...no matter how attracted she is to her neighbor Quinn. But Quinn must get closer to her and find out what those secrets are when he discovers that she is the target of his next missing persons case. Will their fragile hearts and their love survive?

I loved the development of Quinn's and Sara's relationship. It was quite desperate in the beginning, with both of them pulling back, not sure of the passion that flared between them. But when it ignites, the pages start to burn and your fingers will get scorched!! Get out that fan and cool drink because you are sure going to need it.

I can't really say that I loved this book more than I did Fragile...they both were fantastic reads in their own unique ways. I think I did have more of a "love crush" on Quinn, but I think that was due to the fact of his own loveless past. I recommend these two books to all the romantic suspense lovers out there who like their books fast-paced, with twists and turns, and hot and steamy. I also recommend that you read Fragile first to get the most enjoyment out of the two books.
