When an author starts out her blurb with a disclaimer, you know you can expect a roller coaster of emotions from those pages. The Broken Soul Series is that kind of book, so be prepared. Can I tell you how much I love a heroine who is a survivor? I also love the fact that this is an RH. Hell yes a woman's body, heart and soul can heal from something horrible with love and support and, most of all, time. I have not finished this series, but it is on my quarantine list. Thank you, Cindy for a great read.

I find myself in a dark alley with the dickhead that tried hitting on me in a bar, beating the ever loving shit out of me. Why you ask? Well, when he grabbed me inappropriately and without my permission I kind of lost it and may or may not have but definitely did, emasculate him in front of all his friends in the bar, and everyone else. Thinking that was end of it I moved on, clearly, he didn’t as my current situation proves. From there a tattooed man scares him off and gets me to help. Little do I know him and his friends are going to become a permanent part of my life, helping me heal both mentally and physically. Kyle, Flynn, Owen, Silas, and Heath all stand next to me helping with my issues and keeping me safe as I work through things from my past that pop up from this recent attack. When it turns out I have a stalker, they guys draw closer to me as we all try to navigate my crazy life. In getting to know them and spending time with them, I’ve come to realize I like them, all five of them. Does that make me selfish? Yep. Can we all make this work? I guess we’ll see… This book contains some cliffhangers, not all plots get resolved in this book. It is reverse harem where the heroine ends ups with at least three of the guys.
