Blog Tour - Broken (This Trilogy) J.B. McGee







Gabby's life has been anything but easy. She is surrounded by friends who seem to have everything she doesn't: money, social standing, and happily married parents. While dealing with the loss of her mother, she experiences her first heartbreak. She commits herself to her studies and runs away from any emotions that aren't safe. Bradley Banks, a confident CEO and commercial architect, who has long time commitment issues forces Gabby to feel again, but will he be her next heartbreak?



Review: 3.5 stars

Broken is an emotional story about learning to love and trust after you have been broken.  Gabby is a young college student who has gone through heartbreak.  She has built up walls in hopes to numb the pain of her past.  Nothing seems to go her way...  Then she meets Bradley at a wedding.  It was instant chemistry.  The rest of the book is about Gabby trying to accept a loving relationship with Bradley.  

"You make me greedy for you.  I just can't get enough.  I wish you would just accept it for what it is and trust me."

This was a great story line.  I really enjoyed the dynamic between Gabby and Bradley.  Although I understood what Gabby went through in her past, I did get a little tired of her insecurities. That being said, it was a good story and I look forward to reading Book 2 in This Trilogy.

Genre- Romantic Thriller

Beth Brown doesn’t believe in premonitions. But her recent dream feels too real to ignore: a commercial airliner is hijacked, and a handsome passenger is shot dead. Beth hasn’t met the mystery man in her dream; she would never forget a gorgeous face like his. But she can’t deny the bizarre connection she feels. Now awake, and unable to allow for the violence she’s convinced is impending, she races to the airport…and comes face to face with the man of her dreams.

Zane Winters lives for his job, using his uncanny psychic powers to carry out missions for elite SEAL Team 7. Yet the constant adrenaline highs can’t drown out the numbness seeping into his life as he yearns to find a woman he can trust. All that changes when he meets a beautiful stranger who sets his soul on fire—and somehow knows he’s about to die.

To thwart the global crisis the hijacking will unleash, Beth and Zane join forces. But even amid the danger, they can’t deny the powerful force drawing them together. Is it merely attraction…or destiny?



 Review: 4.5 Stars

Forged in Fire was packed full of action and passion.  Zane Winters is a Navy Seal.  He is sexy and he can be lethal.  Thanks to a family trait, he also can see glimpses of the future.  Beth is an ordinary woman looking for a reliable, long lasting relationship.  A Navy Seal is anything but reliable.   Sure there is crazy lust but will it last?

"Because fireworks didn't last forever.  They blazed across the night in one intense burst after another,  but they eventually vanished.  And when they did, they left regrets and resentment in their wake."

 Oh yeah ladies, part of Zane's family trait is having a soul mate.  When Zane and Beth meet under unfortunate circumstances, he knows she is the one he has been waiting for.  Zane is determined to win her heart and also keep her safe.    

"The tug toward her was incredibly strong, like she was a magnet and his bones were metal."

I was really surprised with this book.  I normally do not read action packed romances.  This book has made me a believer!!! I LOVE Zane and the chemistry between he and Beth was on fire!  This was a great roller coaster ride that threw me on some unexpected loops and I loved it!  I am looking forward to reading other books in the series.
