Zero three zero nine.
Four little numbers … four little words. They might be random and insignificant to anyone else, but they meant something to us.
No, they meant everything to us.
Until they were ripped away.
That was the day our lives took a different course. One we had no control over. One that others puppeteered and mangled into a cluster so big, it left us with emotional scars lined with resentment and venom toward each other.
All because I’m a Montgomery and he’s a Barrett.
Now, Trig’s back and he hates me with more hostility and rage than ever … and I’ve learned to do the same. But when the world comes crashing down and the stakes couldn’t be higher, I can’t run and I can’t hide.
I need the help of the one person whose loathing for me runs deeper than blood and colder than his icy-blue stare.
I need Trig.
I need him more than I know.

Oh my… Brynne Asher’s BROKEN HALO wrecked emotional havoc in my heart, and put all the tiny pieces back together in the most gripping and seductive of ways! Trig and Ellie’s story will pull you through the full spectrum of feelings, of that I have no doubt. No worries though, the second of the Montgomery’s is an emotional rehab on its own, so you don’t want to miss this, believe me.
I couldn’t have been more intrigued by Trig and Ellie’s background – and future – while reading Bad Situation, so was beyond thrilled when Broken Halo hit my e-reader. Their story was far deeper and intense than I excepted, and that is saying something considering the anticipated combustion already surrounding on book one.
We not only lost each other, we lost everything else, too.
The woman who haunts me in the worst ways a person can.
Hearts can’t break if they haven’t loved.
Broken Halo was indeed the literary FULL PACKAGE: all the hurt, all the pain, all the forgiveness, all the banter, all the happiness, all the passion and most of all, ALL THE LOVE! It is impossible to read this extraordinary and oh so realistic characters and not fall in love with their love story and root for them to get their HEA.
As much as I’ve accomplished since I lost her, nothing has been harder than hating her.
But loving her?
Fuck, that’s as easy as breathing.
Second nature.
Ellie was such an incredible female main character, a true heroine. Her past – and present – heartbreak – her ‘wild’ personality, her heartfelt love for those around her, specially her baby boy, was so touching, I couldn’t her but adore her. And the way she make Trig work for it, and not give in instantly, I was cheering her on! She was fantastic!
I have my Ellie back.
Fuck the force that tries to separate us again. I’ll die before I’ll allow that to happen.
Trig, maybe because of how much I connected and felt Ellie’s pain, was a bit harder for me to warm up to. With how forward and strong Ellie proved to be in the past, I felt she deserved a bit more from him, at least a reasonable doubt situation, lol, but once he pulled his head out of his @ss and realized the error of his ways, and fought for her, for them…Wow… It was full on Alpha mode, and when he never gave up on them, fought to prove to her they could have their much wanted HEA, now that was impossible to resist.
History. It can tear you up and put you back together in a way you’ll never look the same.
Here we are, ten years later, on the other side of hell.
And I feel like I can finally breathe.
The setting, with the flash back of the past intertwined with their scenes of the present, were perfectly foreseen to keep us on the edge of our seats and uncovered what had happened to separated them and their young love, ten years ago. Now, a decade after, and so many years of hurt and pain need to be unveiled and overcome. Broken Halo is true second chance love, of destined soulmates finding each other again, moving on from their hurtful past, and building a forever future HEA.
“So you’d rather fuck around with me?” I quip.
My comment might’ve been offhand but the mirth disappears from his rugged features. “Every day, angel. I want to fuck around with you every single day for the rest of my life.”“You’re impossible.”
“Impossibly obsessed,” he amends. “You know you love it.”
Ms. Asher talented writing once again shone trough, and it was visible, and FELT from the very first line of this book, until the very last, and hinting at more to come. Trig and Ellie’s journey was gripping in a way that is rare for me these days, they were such complex characters, and I was so incredibly entranced in their relationship development, that time truly flew by. And all this deliciously enticing secondary characters, the suspense subplot, just hook us even more, and left us begging for the next book. Can’t wait for more of this series and even more Brynne Asher’s writing! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
“Love you in a way I’ll never stop, Ellie.”
“Loving you has proven to be the hardest and easiest thing I’ve ever done, angel.”
