Eden Bradley is absolutely brilliant.
When Summer Grace's older brother died he asked his best friend to watch over his sister never realizing that Jamie had had feelings for Summer since she was 14. For years he's kept his promise to the man that was like a brother to him. He's watched over Summer and protected her. He's kept his distance from her knowing he could never show her his darker desires. That is, until the day he walks in to his favorite BDSM club and finds Summer in the middle of a scene with one of the club's DOMMEs. How can he stay away now? And how can he erase the picture of her, bent over, on the receiving end of punishment when it's been his greatest fantasy for years? Simple, he can't. Instead the embark on a journey of discovery and healing as they both come to terms with not only their suppressed feelings for each other, but with the guilt they both feel at having survived when Summer's brother did not.
As a reader when you pick up a book by Bradley you are guaranteed an incredibly hot and spicy read filled with chains (a personal favorite of hers), floggers and just about any other form of pleasurable punishment she can come up with. This time we got all that and more. The level of emotions brought out in Dangerously Broken leave you with your heart pounding not sure whether you should be reaching for the box of tissues or jumping in to take a cold shower.
A not to be missed tale of more than just a romance with elements of BDSM, Bradley shows us loss, guilt and ultimately healing all wrapped up in chains on a St. Andrew's Cross.
