***BROKEN TRILOGY CONTINUES HERE...***

I fell to my knees. Normally, I could block out the pain, but not this time.

Something wasn’t right…

The next thing I knew, I found myself in a North Dakota hospital where things took an unexpected turn…

Mia Harper was the new nurse who seemed to know more about me than she should. Yet I couldn’t help but flirt with her. She was witty, playful, and her beauty was unmatched. I couldn’t get enough.

Just when I thought things were looking up, it got weird…

Someone returned from my past and flipped my world around.

One thing was certain—I’d put my life on the line to keep Mia safe and to finally learn the answer to the question that had haunted me my whole life.

What really happened that night twenty-five years ago?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

J.L. Drake is a bestselling author with multiple series published in several countries. The Broken Trilogy is her bestseller, and her next series, Dark Water runs deep into the Broken and Blackstone world.

She was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, and later moved to southern California. Though she loves the weather in Cali, she would sell her left kidney for a good rainstorm. Jodi’s love of the seasons back home in Canada definitely put an appearance in her books.

When she’s not writing, you can often find her sitting somewhere along the coast of Huntington Beach, reading, or at home curled up on a couch with her two children and husband, binge-watching Marvel movies.

“My name is J.L. Drake, and this is my story…” (Like how I did that there? You’re welcome, Broken fans).

I never set out to be an author. I hated English class and couldn’t write a paper to save my life. Being dyslexic was a hurdle, but I was always interested in storytelling. When I was younger, I did a lot of acting in theater, TV, and movies. Nothing major, but Nova Scotia was just starting to get into the movie business at that point. It brought me out of my shell and taught me to look at scenes from many different angles, which has proven to be a major asset to my writing."

    Reviewed in Australia on 4 September 2017
    This is the first book I have read by this author. And although it is a spin off series the character relationships is apparent as the story progresses.

    I did enjoy reading Mark and Mia's story but I must admit I was hoping for a bit more Alpha hero action than there was, but maybe that's just me. After being injured in the line of duty Mark finds himself in hospital under the care of the gorgeous nurse Mia. She knows roughly who he is but she definitely knows what he does. They flirt with each other for all they are worth but deep down they both know that a job like his is not conducive to a meaningful relationship.

    Written for numerous POV this book covers Mark and his past, through plenty of flashbacks, that has finally catches up to him. He tries to ignore it but when it starts to affect Mia, he knows it's gotta end. Can they get through the problems together or will everything stacked against them be too much?? Jump in and find out.

    Where do I begin to describe how much I loved this book? I was sucked right in and didn't want to leave the pages. The characters have so much depth to them, enough so that they could step off the pages into real life and interact with you. They seem like real people, having faults like you and me. Mark and Mia have real feelings like doubts, fears, and hopes. You can feel their emotions as if they were sharing them with you. The action scenes come across as if they were playing out before you. You can almost hear the ammunition as they go past your head and feel the impact of the hits as they land. The locations are described so clearly that you can see them, from the squalor and dirt of Mexico in the poor sections of town to the lush mountains of Montana. Throughout this book, you can feel the sincere wishes of both Mark and Mia for love to flourish and that they can make the relationship work for them, despite the physical distance between them. When danger comes calling, both rise to the challenge and find ways to circumvent the perils. No matter what, love will prevail for these two. It may be a hard-fought battle, but the result is very much worth the effort. No two people deserve a happily ever after than Mark and Mia.

    It is a great story. However there are a few times where I feel like some information has gotten lost, which makes the story a little confusing. But in general the story is great. It is definitely worth reading.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love Mark
    Reviewed in the United States on 8 October 2017

    Gosh I love Mark, who wouldn’t. I even love, Abigail more and more as I learn more about her past, with taking Mark in as one of her own along with Cole and his family. She just melts my heart. This is a really great spinoff/continuation to our Blackstone team and I love everyone of course, I just hate learning about Marks past, it’s so sad and heartbreaking. I don’t even know how, Mark would of survived if he had of never meet Abigail. If it wasn’t for them I don’t think he would of had the better life that he did. Mark is so funny, I just love his silliness as always. He’s always got some joke up his sleeve, making you laugh or cheering you up, but there’s one thing for sure, he really takes his job seriously and truly has a good heart and would do anything for Abby and his boys, especially Cole.

    My freedom lasted an hour and a half before Nurse Vikki Taylor found me. Her arms were folded over her large chest, her scrubs were a bright lime green, and her—yup—Crocs had little decals through the toes. No comment. “Mr. Lopez,” her eyes narrowed in on me, “what on earth are you doing out of bed?” “I wanted to see you again.” I flashed her a killer smile. “Do you feel that?” “What?” she asked. “That.” I carefully reached for her hand and saw her blush as she glanced at the other ladies watching. “The connection we have.” She rolled her eyes, but I could tell I had her. “Oh, Nurse Taylor, what is going on inside that beautiful head of yours?” “Mr. Lopez.” She scowled but didn’t remove her hand from mine. “Are you thinking inappropriate thoughts about me?” “No!” Her voice went up, but she loved this. “You are a dirty little nurse, aren’t you?” I rose to my unsteady feet. “Look, now you’re making the other ladies blush.” I laughed, but then I saw Mia walking next to Dr. Evans, who waved goodbye before she spotted me. “Mr. Lopez, bed, now!” Nurse Taylor flicked her wrist toward my door. “Move it along.” “Okay, okay.” I raised my hand then turned and heard them gasp at my bare ass. “Just something to remember me by, ladies.” Someone laughed. “Oh, he’s terrible!” “I’d bite it!” someone else chimed in. I waved over my shoulder and shut the door to the cell behind me.

    When Mark, meets Mia he can’t help but like her from the beginning. Mia is a sweet loving and caring nurse, who loves what she does. She has a big heart and would give anything to help the people she loves. I couldn’t help but like her from the very start and become team Mia and Mark. They both are perfect for each other and just what they both need.

    Their family bond was just as large as this house. The men were funny and joked around a lot. Mark had my jaw dropping with the amount of food he inhaled. Dell leaned over and whispered, “He’ll still have room for dessert too.” My gaze went to his. “No way!” “Five bucks he’ll go for—” Dell leaned behind me to look at the dessert table, “—a quarter of the apple crisp, three chocolate chip cookies, and Abigail will get him and Keith a glass of milk.” I sneaked a peek at Keith, who still had a mountain of food to get through. Mark was polishing off a chicken leg but still had lots on his plate. There was no way they could possibly squeeze in dessert. “You’re on.” I shook his hand under the table.

    So like I’ve said before I love these characters and don’t want to let them go. And I’m also glad there’s one more book that’s about Keith. I’m also praying it doesn’t turn out to be the last book, I could see many story’s written about these characters. This story is a nice read and of course a full five stars for me. So if your not sure wether to read it or not, five stars should tell you a lot. Don’t think twice you’ll love it and it won’t disappoint. Double thumbs up for me once again.

    I could truly hold my head high with honor. I knew, because I was finally free of any doubt that I was a good and honorable man.

    Marks story follows on from Cole and Savi’s journey,
    I guess they could be stand-alone but are better if you know what's going on.

    Now the scene is set and the black stone men aren't destined to stand and fall alone, we dive into comes best friends life, how they met and how Mark finds love, it is not as gritty as the first series, or maybe I've become immune. The black ops are still in there and you're in the trenches with them, but you're also in the house with savi and co as family. One of the great things about this book for me was that I was still involved with the entire black stone family and I'm looking forward to the next book

    The first trip of books had to be read in order as the storyline was continuous to the end of book 3. This book is about Mark, best friend of Major Cole Logan from those same books.

    He has something hanging over him from his past and he cannot shake it off. Meeting Mia helps, but he needs to confront his demon.
