Rate this book
When you carry a heart-rending secret it’s a waiting game; the truth always has a way of crawling to the surface. Meanwhile it taints the fight for true love and a chance of having a future when you’re struggling with issues clawing your brain, including a cartel war.Is one man enough to carry the heavy emotional burden which is meant to be shared with loved ones? Or will it eat him alive and leave him with more guilt and a tainted soul that’s already been ripped in half? Maybe in the end, nothing matters, when the cartel strikes back with a crimson vengeance where death is more plausible than the next breath burning your lungs.Broken Deeds MC handles cases the government can’t close; they take charge and won’t stop until justice is served. This second generation is a series where each book is a new couple, handling a new case, and can each be read as a complete standalone with a happily ever after.

I wish I could give this book more than five stars, I truly do!! This author is always able to evoke emotions from me. Every. Single. Time.
And this time is no different, only it is.
I went into this book without reading the blurb, I went in blind and man did I have my eyes opened and my heart broken!!
She broke me! She broke me in the prologue!! That is a record for me from this author and I wear that badge with honour!
The heart breaking secret is not mine to tell, it's his and this author makes you feel every bit of his pain.....And then there is Ellory, whose pain is another dimension. ALL the FEELS, honest to goodness.
Buckle up Buttercup, you are in for an emotional ride, but it is so worth it!

This is the third book in the series. They are better read in order but can be read as standalones. This book was so heartbreaking. Baton and Ellory have been through so much and their fight isn’t over yet. This book has so many twists and turns. Ellory is being used by her father. Baton has been hiding a secret for months. Baton is caring so much on his shoulders. No one knows his secret no even Ellory. The whole club will have to help to end this. They will even get help from another club. Aerion fury and Broken deeds are connected and always willing to help each other. I felt so much for Baton and Ellory. This is a fantastic read. I can’t say enough about it. Esther you have outdone yourself with this book. I can’t wait to read more of your books in the future.

Finally, the man we know as Baton gets his HEA w/ Ellory!

I loved this story! It's all the goodness I expect from Broken Deeds, along w/ a few twists sprinkled in. Wonderful characters & development, action, and steamy goodness. But, above all, the family & love that sweeps me away for a few hours of enjoyment!

Excellent story, this was exciting and intense, powerful and emotional. It had me feeling all the pain and turmoil, as well as the deep love not just the couple but those around them in the club. There are twists and turns, some you sort of expect but not necessarily the way they happen. This is one of my all time top favourite authors, she gives me my escape deep into her stories where I can lose myself, calm, cry and smile. Every single time. Esther you cracked it again this time, I freakin LOVE IT ❤📚❤ started 5/3/21 finished 5/3/21

There is sooooo much I could say about this book! But, I can't give it away! The one thing that really spoke to my heart with both characters was how they each deal with such traumatic moments in their lives. They could easily stop, and give up. But, instead, they fight against what is trying to keep them down and keep going. Their journey is not easy, nor is it for the weak-hearted.

There were so many emotions pulled out of me with this one. I laughed, I cried, I got mad, laughed some more, cried some more, and repeat! Ugh, I'm getting all teary again, just thinking about them!

If you're looking for insta love, light-hearted and smooth sailing, this isn't the book for you. If you want suspense, emotional rollercoaster, bravery, strength with a dash of somewhat insta love and a sprinkle of darkness, then grab this one! Run with it, hide in the corner and read it in one shot.

As a long-time fan of the original series, it was seriously awesome to have a few instances of "visiting" old friends. They added the perfect amount of nostalgia to pull you in and get a reminder of their own stories. It's such a seamless transition, and it fit so well. You can see the love Esther has for these characters. It's an amazing read and the best one in the series yet. So excited to see what happens next with Austin and Jersey!!!!

I have to say, at first I didn't got into the story. I'm pretty sure it was one of those days. I mean, you read a book and it's just OK, but you (re)read it later and you feel absolutely different about it.
Thank goodness it passed, because it's first time happening with this author and it felt so wrong.
So, the story start lightly... Well, I'm lying. More likely emotional. From both Benedict and Ellory. They both carry something heavy on their shoulders.
Good thing their reconnects before sh¡t started to hit the fan.
It kept me on my toes, and if I was into bitting my nails, they would be gone. Lol. Also I couldn't wait for the club to show they claws, so to speak, because they kept getting hit after hit and damn enough is enough. I was getting pissed. Villains needed theirs smug smiles whipped and theirs assess kicked.
And Esther leaves as hanging there with one thing. I don't wanna to spoil, so all I will say, that I'm not buying it. I'm on to you, girl. But I will need to wait to get my answers. Aargh, I hate waiting. Lol.

Wow this book made me feel all the emotions from pain and turmoil to love and devotion. Nothing and no one could keep these two apart especially with everything both of them have been through. No matter of tuff the road ahead of them they both overcome the burdens they carried. Benedict and Ellory connection was so strong I felt it bleeding through the pages. Esther does an amazing job and her books makes you feel like you are right there with the character. With all the turmoil and pain both Benedict and Ellory went through it showed just how strong of a person they are alone and together. We get to see how the 1st and 2nd generation come together and shows just how strong the brotherhood of Broken Deeds is and nothing can break them. I love Lips, she is amazing and still looks out for her old ladies! This book had some twist and turns that I saw coming and some I didn’t, especially in regards to a certain character. I am dying to know what is going to happen!! I would definitely give this book more then five stars!!

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
This book is the third book in the broken deeds MC; second generation series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters loveable and the storyline enjoyable. Baton has a secret, a big one. When Baton met Ellory he knew she was the woman for him. With danger surrounding her will Baton be able to keep her safe?
The chemistry between Benedict and Ellory is clear to see and I loved them together.
My heart broke for Benedict over the whole Baton thing. I loved that his family didn’t get angry with him over it. That being said, I have a feeling we will be hearing more of the Baton thing in future books.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Esther Schmidt most certainly knows how to tell an amazing story. In Broken Deeds, 2nd Generation #3, she has really pulled out all the stops. It’s suspenseful, intense, thrilling and emotional from start to finish and this reader loved it.

Sometimes secrets are meant to be kept but often holding them in can cause more harm than good. Benedict and Ellory are out to beat the odds that are stacked against them, but both are holding secrets. When life throws them the worst of curveballs will the truth finally break them for good?

I Highly recommend book3 as well as all the Broken Deeds MC books. The are all excellent Mc romances that any MC reader will happy they grabbed up.

2 Thumbs Up and 5+ Stars

I loved it!

Ellory and B have been thrown together so many times that it has to look like fate. When she is rescued this last time, B and Broken Deeds need to finish this once and for all so she and B can have some peace.

This story unpacked a lot of emotional baggage carried by both B and Ellory. We learn what had been plaguing B for months and we get a glimpse of some small cracks in Broken Deeds close ties with Aerion Fury. Relationships take work and getting a glimpse of the next story was a good treat.

Ellory made a great addition to brotherhood (or sisterhood) of old ladies. There’s too many spoilers to give you any more than that or I’d spoil it.

Great read as always from Esther.

Baton and Ellory's story is a very emotional one. Both of them have so much pain, so many secrets they have buried deep. Their devotion to one another is what literally keeps them going. They hit some snags along the way but they are a solid couple. Each couple in this series has faced their own challenges, unique to them and and their situation. Ms Schmidt writes some of the strongest women I have found in the MC genre. They are smart and resourceful, they are truly partners to their men. I am loving this second generation, can't wait to see what's in store in the next volume between Austin and Jersey!

Broken Deeds MC: Second Generation #3 was a great story, it was a strong addition to the series. Esther E. Schmidt did a great job on the book, the plot was strong, it was packed with many emotions, the story was written well. Benedict and Ellory were strong characters that have been through so much, they were fighters. Not a thing about their journey was easy.
From the moment Ellory and Benedict laid eyes on each other, they were drawn to one another, their connection and chemistry was strong, they were good together.
I enjoyed this story, it was great.
I'm looking forward to reading more.
Thank you, Esther E. Schmidt. Great work :)

OMG what a fantastic book! This has got to be one of my favorites ( I know I say it all the time) but honestly this is really a super fantastic book, it's got everything and I mean everything you want in a book! I couldn't put it down! Benedict has been carrying around a huge secret, Ellory has indured so much and has come out one bad#ss! Esther really out did herself with this one, don't know how it could get much better. But knowing how amazing she is at writing stories I'm sure Austin and Jersey's story will be epic.

Great book

He was her savior, but in doing so he lost the other half of himself. A promise made to a brother in the heat of battle leads to many things love being one. He saves her not only from a sick bastard she was kidnapped by but also from a father only interested in his own delusions of self worth. Her love brings him out of the dark and allows him to face the reality of what happened so long ago and face the Brotherhood with the truth. Expect plenty of action, intrigue and romance.

The third book in the Broken Deeds MC second generation is action packed and has you on the edge of your seat. As these two struggle with family burdens along with insecurities it will take you on an emotional ride. Secrets will be revealed, tensions will be high and the brotherhood will need to stand shoulder to shoulder to protect the ones that mean the most. Their story is intense, filled with drama and chaos but is also heartfelt and passionate. This third book is full of surprises that will have you gripped to the pages and unable to put this book down.

I'm not going to give much away because this is definitely a story you need to read and savour for yourselves.

What a good book!! Of course this author always writes a book I get sucked into but this one made me emotional right away.
Our hero has a secret, a sad secret, a secret that broke my heart.
Our heroine also had a secret that made me want to hug her tight.
They fought the bad guys together and kept me on the edge of my seat for the last few chapters. It was an intense, angst filled fantastic ending.
Another good one from Esther Schmidt!!

This series just keeps getting better and better with each new book. All the characters seem so lifelike , that at times it seems like you will actually miss them, until the next exciting chapter.
Benedict and Ellory have had eyes for each other from the first glance.
They both have secrets, that both are hard to share and that could get them killed.
When the secrets comes out, they are stronger and so are the Broken deeds MC.

B and Ellory

This book is an emotional one. There's so much pain and so many secrets. The love they have for one another is truly amazing and you can't help, but fall in love with B and Ellory. She is smart and resourceful, they are true partner to the ol man. I had hoped for an even happier ending, but you never know it may happen in the next book. I am loving this second generation and can't wait to see what's in store between Austin and Jersey!

Justice is served

Once again my addiction for #Broken Deeds MC (all generations) has been fed ❤ This is Benedict & Ellory's story and let me tell ya, hold on tight for this ride! It's got MC, a Cartel, politican, kidnapping, rescues, justice and a love you can feel between Benedict and Ellory. I especially love all the generations are involved. I hope we get to learn more about Baton in the future.
I'm already wanting MORE!!!

"Our parents can tell us apart" apparently not lol

This book says two months between saving Ellory and the wedding but in Hadley book it was four months. Geezus. And I don't understand why he'd lie to everyone for so long. It was dumb.


"One of Kray twins sticks out his head. Me and Baton grew up with this idiot and his twin."

They are literally cousins. This author doesn't seem to remember what she writes lol

Awesome

What a great book, page after page you felt his sorrow. To live with the lies but keeping a vow. How will he be able to move on? How will Ellory react to the lies. Promises are made a new future in store. The only problem they have is the Cartel is on their backs. So grab your copy and enjoy the ride.
