It’s been a while since I read book 1, but guess what I like book 2 better. Broken has so much more to offer. The author doesn’t disappoint in the 2nd installment of The Green Street Girls. I would think there will be one more book since there’s one more girl left, but we shall see.
These books are a series but are very much standalone novels as well. Do you benefit from reading both, absolutely, but it’s not required.
These girls fought from the trenches to where they are today. This book specifically focuses on Indigo. And Indigo is in the exact state as the title Broken. She’s been abused in ways that could trigger some, so read with caution. Never in a million years did she think the one that could set her on the path to being mended is right under her nose.
Enter Gideon, he best friend’s baby brother, who just happens to be living on her property. We he’s tasked to protect from threats on her life, things change and evolve.
How does Indigo respond to how she feels for Gideon?
The author wrote the perfect man in Gideon. Sweet, friendly, protective, caring all the things women dream of.
But the justice the author did Indigo is leaps and bounds ahead of that. The growth and mending the dhe experienced throughout was written beautifully.
This book had me wanting more. Though I figured part of it out early on, it was the chemistry between the two characters that kept me intrigued.
A wonderful series that exudes “girl power.” If you’re looking for a book or series with strong female characters, these books are for you!

This is the second book in Green Street Girls series. This is a really moving story about friendship and how the girls have grown close together when they had no one else but each other. Each of the girls are unique and different and this story follows Indigo.
Indigo has had a hard upbringing which has left her fearful and scared of letting people in. She makes a promise to try and allow love into her life but she doesn’t hold out much hope.
She is a successful gamer and software producer. From the outside it looks like she has it all but the shadow of her stepfather isn’t far behind.
When she creates some software and is about to make a big deal with it suddenly threats appear. Threats that could mean harm to Indigo.
While she is successful she struggles to form emotional relationships. When her relationship with Athena’s brother Gideon turns from friendship to something more this could be Indigos chance. But when things start to get rough with the threats will she allow and trust Gideon to protect her or will she push him away from fear of being let down and hurt again.
This is a moving and at times heartbreaking story. The author does an amazing job of making the characters emotions and fears jump off the page allowing the reader to fully understand and feel everything that is happening. This is also a story of hope as Indigo trys to move away from her past and create a better future for herself. This is a great captivating read.

Broken was a really enjoyable read. I was looking forward to reading it after reding the first book in the series. The group of girls in the stories are great to read about. This book was Indigo’s story. She was such a. Great character to read about. I love the interaction between all the characters they are very entertaining and they definitely kept me entertained with the antics and their friendship really shines through. I liked Gideon as well, he was definitely prepared to step up and protect Indigo when she needed it.
I am really looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is the second book in the series. While I haven’t read the previous book this does well as a stand alone story. The author weaves plenty of back story so you don’t feel lost with the characters. This store offers plenty of charged emotions, twisted adventures, strong women, and plenty of romance to keep you turning the pages. The author did a wonderful job with healing from trauma and the feelings of sexual abuse. This is a poignant yet heart-warming, story about friendship and finding love.

Athena and Tru’s story bring you in from the very beginning. This is a great romance. The way the writer portrays the characters it feels like you are right there with them going through everything they are going through. I love that this isn’t one of those fairytale romances that portrays life and relationships as all sunshine’s and rainbows. It’s real and gritty.

I loved book one in this series and book two did not disappoint! In this story we met Indigo, another of the Green Street Girls. Indigo’s story is complex, but the details are portrayed beautifully as you get to know her and her story comes to life. The connection between Indigo and Gideon is undeniably romantic. I was captivated by their chemistry. If you haven’t checked out this series, or this author, you are missing out! Though this book does read well as a stand alone, it’s even better if read along with the first!

This was the second book in the Green St. Girls series and while I didn’t read book one, this was definitely able to stand alone, but I will absolutely be checking out book one to get more of the back story on the four girls. I absolutely love Indigo and Gideon together. They were so adorable together and I loved how patient and supportive Gideon was with Indigo. I also loved the multiple POV’s so we could get into the minds of both of the main characters. Indigo has overcome so much and the author did an amazing job of balancing her accomplishments and her feelings of inadequacy perfectly. This was a fast paced book that had not only the romance, but also elements of suspense and danger. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series!

I knew that having loved the first book in the series that it was going to be a challenge to follow it up, but N.D. Jackson knows EXACTLY what they’re doing here! The author provided such a perfect second installment with vivid imagery and beautifully written descriptions of scenes, so much so that I felt transported to this world. I was completely captivated once again and fell in love with Indigo and Gideon. I highly recommend picking up the first book before reading this one just to gain some of the depth you’d miss without it. You won’t regret either choice because these books are absolutely fantastic. I can’t wait for the next book to drop!

After reading Athena’s story in the first book of the Green St. Girls series, I was instantly hooked. The author did an amazing job portraying someone struggling with their past demons. This book is no different.
This time around we follow Indigo, a gamer genius who also dabbles in other software. She ran away at the age of 15 and met the other girls on Green St. Since she was the youngest, she was the most sheltered and protected of the group. Indigo was sexually abused by her step father causing her to have giant trust issues with men in particular.
In the first book we are introduced to Athena’s brother Gideon who quickly becomes friends and then roommates with Indigo. Things are different between Indigo and Gideon first thing. He is the first guy she has felt comfortable with in a long time and doesn’t want anything to risk that.
Meanwhile, Indigo created a recognition software that she is in the process of potentially leasing out to the government if things go accordingly. Someone does not want this to happen. Indigo starts receiving threats to shut it down. She lets Gideon in on the threats and he vows to protect her. It’s hard to avoid romantic feelings if you are always with each other.
The author did an amazing job once again with traumatic healing and the different feelings associated with it. I am also a victim of sexual abuse and the author described my feelings to a tee when I started becoming interested in men again. It is like they are speaking from experience (which in a way I hope they aren’t). The book feels very authentic. Indigo goes through self doubt and paranoia. Years later and her abuser is still not forgotten and still has control over her. Luckily Indigo is a strong woman who is dedicated to not letting him win. With the help of a loyal and sweet guy to show her how strong and brave she truly is.

Broken is Book Two in the Green St. Girls Series. After reading the first book I immediately dove into reading this one. I became heavily invested in the Green Street Girls and was anxious to read more about them. This story centers around a character by the name of Indigo who is part of the Green Street Girls. She has worked hard to give herself a good life but all of that is threatened when she starts receiving threats for a software she is developing. Her friend, and roommate, Gideon, steps up to help Indigo and protect her from whoever has been threatening her. In doing so, he realizes that his feelings for her are stronger than just friendship. Although Indigo has allowed her wall to come down enough to form a friendship with Gideon can she truly trust him? This book was beautifully written with a storyline and characters that I became heavily invested in. Indigo is strong, smart, and ambitious but because of her past has developed trust issues. Gideon is sweet, kind, and a good friend to Indigo. He wants to love her, protect her, and be there for her. Gideon does his best to prove to Indigo that she can trust him, but will he be able to penetrate the wall she has formed to protect herself? A great read full of drama, intrigue, danger, friendships, angst, love, romance, and hope. I highly recommend!

Bared is Book One in the Green St. Girls Series. The story centers around a character named Athena who has had a hard time trusting anyone because of her past. She becomes a bit of a loner in a sense until she meets Tru who also has a hard time trusting anyone. The attraction between them is intense but having a relationship may be out of the question due to their trust issues. Athena makes friends with a group of girls who all have had hardships in their past. The girls call themselves the Green Street Girls and act as a support network for one another. Through tough times the girls lean on each other and help one another survive. I loved how the Green Street Girls helped one another through the hardest of struggles. Their friendship gave one another hope and a will to go on which I found endearing. I loved each one of the girls’ individual characters and felt their stories resonate with me. This book was beautifully written, and I could not help but feel an emotional connection with each of the Green Street Girls. I found myself cheering them on to find happiness, love, and a good life. I highly recommend this book!

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by this author. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading as it is just as great as this one if not better. This is a well written story about second chance romance and finding something that was lost within you. Will this character find it in herself to be brave enough to get what she wants? I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease and kept me there until the end. They have great chemistry and attachment which makes the story easy and entertaining. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. This is one you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Indigo is a genius who has had a troubled life but has taken everything she can to create a life she only dreamed of. When she begins to get threats for a software she is developing it drums up old memories that still haunt her. She has her girls by her side but now she has Gideon.
Gideon is living with Indigo but strictly as friends. His feelings for the brilliant woman is growing with each day. He steps up when she needs protecting, he realizes there is more to Indigo then he thought. He wants Indigo to trust him, he wants to be her everything if she can drop the erected walls and let him in. Can Indigo trust Gideon not to trust him or will she bury her head in the sand and lose everything?
I liked this one quite a bit. It is fast paced, action packed. I enjoyed all the characters and am looking forward to reding the next book. I thought Indigo was fascinating, you are hoping she takes a chance with Gideon and understand why she is hesitant. I thought that the way the emotions are detailed in the story really pulled you in. Wonderful read.

This is the second book in the Green Street Girls series and it did not disappoint. The writing is full of imagery and the characters have depth. This is Indigo’s story which covered a range of emotions. The friendship between the girls runs strong and Indigo needed all of them along with Gideon to be able to face the threat. Thoroughly enjoyable and looking forward to the next book. Recommend.

This book had me hook line and sinker from the very beginning! I was so enthralled with it, which made it the perfect distraction while I waited on my husband to get out of surgery. I absolutely loved Athena’s tenacity, and honestly, I think my favorite character was Tru’s mom in the beginning. Athena’s growth throughout the book was something I applaud the author for. This is the first book I’ve ever read by this author, and I absolutely loved it! I read it on Kindle, but good lord I know I’m going to end up purchasing the physical copy as well. This book is phenomenal, and I’m so excited to get started on book 2!!!

I thought I loved Tru, but holy hell, Indigo and Gideon are my new favorites. These can be read as a stand alone, but flow better if you read the books together in the series. This book was absolutely fantstic, with amazing characters and a delicious slow burn friends to lovers romance plot. Ended on an HEA, for all of the girlies who love those endings. I absolutely love this author, and I love her books. Please check out the first book in the series and give this one a shot as well! It’s a gorgeous, detailed contemporary romance with the perfect plot to spice ratio!

Broken is the second captivating instalment in the Green St. Girls series by N.D Jackson. I love it when one of Ms. Jackson’s books hits my Kindle and I can lose myself in her lovely creation- and after getting a taste of this series from the first book, I very happily dove right in to this second addition to follow along with the Green Street Girls to see what they had in store for us this time.
It is another great read- a contemporary romance- with a bit of a friends to lovers element, plenty of emotion, family, friendship, challenges, risks, self-doubts, chemistry, wonderful characters, angst, drama, discovery, and heartwarming details. Again, Ms. Jackson has produced a book which has all the ingredients that I look for that will keep me avidly reading- which this story definitely had, so before I knew it I had devoured the whole book- and now I can’t wait for Book #3.
As expected, N.D Jackson writes beautifully- her descriptive details brought the whole story to life. The characters especially are really well developed, complex, and quite endearing. I love the Green St. Girls- Indigo, Athena, Gwyn, and Charlie…. so, I am really looking forward to more of their stories.
Happy Reading!
Thank you, N.D Jackson!

I could not wait until book 2 of the Green St Girls arrived and I was definitely NOT disappointed! Fantastic story and I loved getting to know Indigo and this book gave me romance, friendship, drama, past trauma, twists and turns and some spicy moments between Indigo and Gideon. I recommend reading this series from the beginning……I am hoping for more.
Indigo is well known in the gaming world, developing games and also a big invested project that the government is highly interested in. Along side of her team, she develops a very strong, close friendship with Gideon, who is Athena’s brother. Gideon is a true protector and wants what is best for Indigo….as Indigo comes closer to signing an important contract that is worth so much……threats against her are imminent. When the threats are more personal, will Gideon be able to save Indigo when she needs him the most…or will she do what she does best…push him away…
This is a great read and I truly love this author’s storytelling……I cannot wait for more!

This is the second book in the Green Street Girls series, and I love it as much as the first! This time we follow Indigo and Gideon.
Once again, I feel the need to rave about the author’s writing style. Vivid pictures are painted of the scene and characters without being overly descriptive and the character are made to feel real. I was emotionally invested from the beginning and loved every second of it. It’s a heartwarming read, but there are some parts which are heartbreaking.
I loved Indigo, her growth as the story unfolded was brilliant and she deserves every happiness. Gideon is such a lovable character, you can’t help but love the pair and despite all obstacles, root for them start to finish.
I really enjoyed witnessing Indigo’s story and can’t wait for more in this series!

Having read and loved the previous book about the ‘Green Street Girls’ I was looking forward to this next instalment, and I was not disappointed. This is another heartwarming, or though at times heartbreaking story about friendship and finding love. The storyline follows ‘The Green Street Girls’, who include friends Charlie, Gwyn, Indigo and Athena, all of whom have been alone in the world until they found each other. This is Indigo’s story, and Gideon stormed into her life unexpectedly, as a protector and guardian angel, and they became friends, and then their relationship developed into something more. Just as the couple were about to share a new and exciting life together, a threat makes Indigo not only doubt herself but everyone around her, including Gideon. In order to win him back, she has to be brave! I love the four female main characters, and their friendship really comes across in the narrative, and makes you feel engaged with them. Indigo and Gideon definitely had chemistry and I enjoyed how their relationship developed throughout the story, and I was hoping they would get their HEA. I look forward to book three and four in this series.

Broken is the second book in the Green St. Girls series by N.D. Jackson.
I enjoyed the first book Bared where we first met the Green St. Girls as they call themselves and was exited to jump into this one. The characters are well written and developed and complex.
This emotionally charged series is engaging and you find yourself going through the emotions with them. There are twists and turns showing these girls have been through the wringer, and it is so easy to become invested in them and the lives they are living.
Indigo’s story is filled with drama and danger, challenges and intrigue, from friendships and survival, suspense and pain, hopes and fears, love and doubt and much more.
This contemporary romance story flows easily which kept me engaged and lost in the story. I found myself enjoying the tight bonds between friends, laughing at some of their antics, feeling sad and frustrated right along with them.
I can’t to see whose story comes next.

Indy and Gideon have a fascinating journey. They are in total denial of being attracted to each other. The feel it’s just a brother/sister thing. I enjoyed watching this relationship develop. Their bond is built with friendship which is so important. Indy is being threatened by someone and Gideon will be there to protect her. I found this story had a bit of everything I love: drama, romance, mystery, suspense and so much more. I love this series. The protagonists are such badass women that I find them good role models. They have overcome a lot to get where they are and they don’t let anything get them down. A strong woman romance that is one of my favorites. I will be eagerly awaiting the next one.
