Wow I think I have found my new obsession. This is the first book inthe series and first book by this author that i have read. I am really hooked. I love supernatural romances and boy this really filled that empty space that I have had.

Heart Broken ( Satan’s Devils MC #5 ) Audio Book by Manda Mallett – Review by Caralee Loonat

I have read and listened to many books by this author and this one was heart wrenching and really made me rout for the main character. I really like how the author brings the character’s pasts into the story and is able to enrich it. I really have grown to really enjoy mC romances.

The characters are very realistic and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning. I really like how there is a good mix of drama along with romance. I also like how there is not a straightforward road for that romance makes it more realistic. The drama is a perfect bit to the storyline. I look forward to reading more from this series and author

I think that this collection is a great read. I have read all three so far in the series and was glued to the pages. I find that the author has a very unique world created. The characters although fiction are relatable. The story flows real well and the backstory adds to all.

Book one intorduces us to the Multiverse. Journey’s through SpaceTime.
I found the concept of a mulitverse quite original and thought that the author did a good job of laying out all the factions.I didnt have a problem following the story through the various parts of the multiverse and thought that it was very well organised and presented. I have to admit that this book had me glued to the pages cause I couldnt put it down till I read what was gonna happen next.I will defnintely read more from this author in the future.

Book two continues the adaventure. Journey’s Through TimeSpace.

The whole concept of a MultVerse really brings a complexity to the story and he fractions within the story really keep the reader enticed and eager to see how things will unfold. I found the complexity of the fractions to be unique. I really liked the opertunity to be able to continue reading this series. The concept of time travel and a MultiVerse really grab the readers.
I really like the tie to Atlantis with Mark and the twists with him. I really will read more from this author in the future.

Book thee again draws the reader further into the Multiverse. Journey’s Through All Creation.

I like how the author is able to have just the right amount of drama and managed to put in a little romance, just a little. I also like how the characters pasts influence the story and how everything is entwined. I also like the character build up and how the author is able to keep the story flowing and unique. I also loved the cliff hanger at the end and cannot wait to see how this series will continue and perhaps grow.
