Book Description

Contemporary Romance Novel - Western
From the author of Rawhide and Roses.

Rodeo took him from her once. Will it take him again?

It's been a decade since Garth Nash left the Triple R Ranch to become a bull riding star. Now he's back home to pay his final respects to the man he'd loved like a father, and to console the pesky tomboy he'd loved like a little sister.

But there's nothing pesky or boyish about Amarilla Ray now. She's a gorgeous, barrel-racing cowgirl who knows exactly what she wants--to compete at the Cowgirl Classic. Just once. And then she can get on with the rest of her life.

Rilla had loved Garth like a big brother all those years ago, but today, her feelings are taking turns in a whole new direction, and suddenly it feels like Garth just might be the rest of her life.

But rodeo took him from her once. And she knows he's bound to leave again. Can she take the risk and fall in love? Can he? Or will rodeo win out again, and leave them both broken?

Review

I loved this one and can't wait to get my hands on more from this expressive and talented author! ~  Nikki @ Ramblings From A Chaotic Mind 

I absolutely enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Ms. James.
 ~ Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

A solid, satisfying and well-written romance story. ~ Seleena's Book Reviews

..a predictable story here, but somehow it makes you want to keep reading... Broken is a cute little story and modern westerns are always my favorites. ~ 4 1/2 Stars, Alberta, Manic Reviews

About the Author

Multi-published and bestselling romance novelist, Maddie James, trips between contemporary, historical, and paranormal worlds, as she pens stories within, and frequently crossing, a variety of romantic genres. With dozens of published titles written under several pen names, she feels fortunate to work with some of the quirkiest characters around--those in her head, and in her life. She lives with her muses--who most days manifest themselves as four-legged furry creatures--and often laments that her cats have become her children, and she has become her mother. Que sera, sera.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet romance May 29, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed Broken by Maddie James. Not only is it a sweet romance, but it's also a view into the world of ranching and rodeo, two of my favorite subjects.

Rather than rehashing the story's plot, which is solid and well-paced, I thought I'd touch on the points brought up in a previous review.

*Spoilers*

I felt like Brandon's giving Garth land (48 land-locked acres) was his way of leaving Garth with something more than rodeo. Having been a bullrider himself, Brandon knew the drifter lifestyle that Garth led. He wanted to give Garth a place he could call home near the only family he'd ever known. He wanted Garth to have roots, because even great cowboys get too old to ride bulls at some point.

I do agree, I think I would've liked to have heard Garth's version of the fight with Brandon. We only get Rilla's version, and she didn't really hear the argument, so she was left to speculate.

The age difference didn't bother me. Yes, 28 is too old for 16, but no one in the book argues otherwise. And when Garth was remembering 12-year-old Rilla, it wasn't in any kind of sexual sense.

It is made clear in the story that Helen had loved Brandon. I would have liked to have known what was special about those 10 acres that he left her, but Helen never says. I guess I was satisfied, but I'm feeling a prequel might be in order! *Hint, hint, Ms. James!*

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensual & Sweet with two well written characters August 15, 2012
Format:Paperback
This novella kept me riveted to the story that I read it in one sitting and had me wishing it were a longer book.

The sexual tension between Rilla and Garth is palable and tastefully written, with a sweet sensuality which makes the romance and the HEA even that much more satisfying. I loved learning about the world of running a ranch and barrel racing.

Broken is a highly emotional novella, filled with heartbreak, hard decisions and the connection two people who knew each other for a long time make when they finally give in to their feelings.

I love Maddie James style and voice and will be looking for more of her books.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was ssooooo slow and just went on and on. Each page was almost like the page before. Same thoughts same memories over and over. The only good thing about this book
was that all of the words were not misspelled.
Plus it was sad. Just was not a good book. Glad it wasn't very long, I hate not finishing a book.
