Title: Broken (Broken#1)
Author: Kelly Elliot
Genre: New Adult Romance
Hosted by: Naughty and Nice Book Blog
Layton Morris and his brother Mike grew up not knowing what it would be like to live in a normal home. With no running water or electricity in their home, no parents around to protect them, they quickly learned how to survive and depend only on each other.
When a tragic accident takes Mike away from Layton, and the only other person that he ever let into his heart walked away from him, leaving his heart shattered, Layton focuses all of his time and energy into the ranch he and his brother dreamed of. He makes a vow to himself to never let love in again. The last thing Layton needed or wanted was more heartache.
Whitley Reynolds grew up in a privileged home in upstate New York. When she landed the star football player in high school no one was surprised, not even Whitley. She dreamed of a life with Roger living in New York City and happily followed him there.
The first time Roger hit her for arguing with him about a dinner party, she forgave him. The more it happened, the further Whitley withdrew from her friends and family. One fateful day things go to far. Whitley makes a promise to herself and finds the courage to do the one thing she thought she’d never be able to do.
Fleeing with her best friend Courtney, Whitley was determined to put her past behind her and start a new life in the small town of Llano, Texas, where no one would ever find out about her past.
Will they both ever learn to trust and love again, or will their pasts come back to haunt them keeping them both alone and…

I
was excited to be able to sign up for this Blog tour as I loved Saved
and Wanted by Kelly Elliot. I love New Adult books and I think that
Kelly knows her way around writing stories with entertaining and
engrossing plots where the story just flows and you find your self lost
in the characters lives and journey, loving every moment of it. I think
this one was just another great read of Kelly's I loved the way the
romance played out with Layton and Whitley. They wanted to hate each
other but the chemistry between them was too strong.
Whitley
was starting her life over after a very abusive past and Layton had
been left by everybody that he had every loved. I loved how Layton
opened up and showed his feelings without seeming less macho. He just
made my heart melt with his memories of his brother and mom. The
secondary characters brought a real depth to the story and I really
wanted to jump in and shake a few of them. Lot's of drama, passion and
amazing love scenes made this one enjoyable read. Can't wait to read
Reed and Courtney's story.

Really I'm just a wife to a wonderful Texas cowboy who has a nack for making me laugh almost daily and supports my crazy ideas and dreams for some unknown reason...he claims it's because he loves me.....so I'll just go with that one!
I'm also a mom to an amazing daughter who constantly is asking me to make her something to eat while she has her fingers moving like mad on her cell phone sending out what I'm sure is another very important text message!
Oh...and I like to sit down and write in my spare time!
I live in the Texas hill country and one of my favorite things to do is go for hikes around our property with my second favorite man, Gus....my chocolate lab and my sweet girl Rose, our golden retriever. When I'm not outside helping the hubby haul brush or move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for me that day, you will find me inside reading, writing or watching HGTV and soaking in a nice hot bubble bath.....yeah that last one I just made up but it sure does sound nice!!!
