MY REVIEW

It is so good to be back with the Broken Gem family and I can hardly wait to see what Jane Blythe has in store for me in Shattered Amethyst. Each gem has been severely damaged and Amethyst Hatcher will have her day. Will Zeb, her bodyguard, be her salvation?

Amethyst, like her four sisters, had been sold by their parents to sex traffickers.

“This one is going to be moved quickly”…but she isn’t going without a fight.

The writing flows smoothly, leading me, taking me to her, sensing her betrayal and terror. Amethyst may not be able to control what was happening to her, but she refused to let them own her mind. Anger is her best friend. When death no longer scares you, it can give you a sense of freedom.

Amethyst was supposed to die on her eighteenth birthday,yet, by some miracle, she lives. Or does she?

I felt anger and outrage….a lot of it. The Broken Gem series feels too real, at times, getting my emotions riled up. I feel my muscles tense and if I was watching this on TV I would be screaming at it. Instead, I am gobbling up the words, hoping THEY get theirs.

Jane doesn’t go into a lot of detail about the time Amethyst is kept in captivity. Most of it covers what she is doing with her life now, seven years later. She is a firefighter. The danger makes her feel alive, so she seeks it out.

Zeb is a police officer and we have met him before. This time we are getting his story…and the wooing will begin shortly. We already know he is in for a tough time with the prickly Amethyst.

There are a lot of triggers in Shattered Amethyst, so if the dark isn’t to your liking, this may not be for you. That being said, GIVE ME MORE…and I do have Splintered Emerald on my Kindle right now…waiting.

Even though I know the ending, it never stops me from grabbing the next romantic suspense novel that comes my way. I LOVE them and Jane Blythe is one of my favorite authors. Sometimes, like with Shattered Amethyst, I feel like she wrote the book just for me.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Shattered Amethyst by Jane Blythe.

GOODREADS BLURB

Betrayed. Sold. Tortured. Now she’s fighting to rebuild her life.

Amethyst Hatcher was supposed to die on her eighteenth birthday, against all the odds she survived, and now lives her life searching for her next adrenaline rush. When the firefighter is assigned to work with the cops, she finds herself completely unprepared for the sexual tension smoldering between her and Detective Zeb Tuck to develop into something more.

Zeb can’t deny the sizzling attraction between him and Amethyst, but he fights against it. He’s already lost so much and doesn’t want to get involved with someone who seems to have a death wish. When his newest case, hunting a sadistic fire-starting killer forces him and the sexy firefighter to work together, he’ll have to decide whether falling for Amethyst is worth the risk.
