Shattered (Shattered Hearts #1)Shattered by Nicole Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Shattered is the first book in the Shattered Hearts series by Nicole Banks. This is a contemporary friends to lovers romance with some drama, pain, guilt, abuse, and emotion. This story reaches deep and tugs at your heartstrings- full of the highs and lows that life can bring- with laughter, tears, obstacles, angst and heartache. I really felt for the characters right from the beginning and was rooting for them the whole way through- even when they were frustrating me to death.
Angel was in the Marines, returning with some demons that haunt him. Jasmin has been through her own hell and has been trying to get her life back on track but hasn’t been able to shake her past. These two have a history, they were childhood friends, now reuniting after many years. What happens when feelings and desire begin to surface? Will they have what the other needs in order to heal? Will they help mend the shattered pieces of their hearts, or are they far too broken to ever put back together?
The story continues in the next book- but don’t worry, it is available to read right now, so no waiting between books!
The story was a little slow in places, but this didn’t detract to much from my overall enjoyment of the story.

Thank you, Ms. Banks!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am not new to Nicole Banks but this new series was a delightful surprise from her. Shattered is the first book in the Shattered Heart Series and I see promise of fabulous characters and romantic trysts to to come, much like this one was.

In Shattered we get to find out all about Angel and Jasmine and see how they handle life and the many obstacles that can plague a newly home serviceman. Angel returns from the Marines with some guilt and past demons that just won’t let up on him. When he meets Jasmine everything seems a bit easier to handle for him and he finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Jasmine also has her past and emotional standoffs that will come into play. I love how Nicole Banks shared their story from multiple points of views. It kept the story flowing quickly and made it multidimensional. These two were not my absolute favorite couple of all time but the story was rich enough that I wasn’t left wanting anything. I look forward to seeing what else will come in the next few books. Thanks for the fabulous read Ms. Banks!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered by Nicole Banks is the first book in the Shattered Heart series. This book is highly emotional and does touch in sensitive topics however the author handles them with such ease.
This book is all about the characters and their connection. You can feel it between them right from the start. The book does pull you in instantly and it really keeps your attention from start to finish.
I was genuinely surprised by how emotional and heart wrenching I found this. I hadn’t expected that when I started reading it but I certainly enjoyed that side to it. And I have to say I loved that the book ended how it did, it made me much more excited to read the second book.

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1)Shattered by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered is the first book in The Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. This series is a spin-off from The Prestian Series. I seem to be reading Via Mari’s series’ back to front. I started with the 2 Billionaire’s Bodyguards books before reading this series. Judging by how much I’ve loved these, I’m sure I will go onto reading The Prestian Series soon.
In Shattered, the main characters are Jenny Torzial (best friend of Kate from The Prestian series) and Brian Carrington (best friend of Chase Prestian). After her ex-boyfriend brutally raped her it was discovered that he had been laundering money through her business and working with some very undesirable characters. As Kate becomes a target from the Mafia, Brian does everything he can to keep her safe.
The chemistry between Jenny and Brian is sizzling hot, as are the many sex scenes that unfold between them. There is an element of BDSM in their growing relationship as Brian takes control. Jenny is happy to submit to Brian in the bedroom but struggles with him trying to control her out of the bedroom too.
This book is fast paced and full of action from the very beginning and grips you right into the story and keeps a tight hold of you. I thoroughly enjoyed Shattered and can’t wait to see what happens next in this amazing series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a love story between Jenny and Brian.

Jenny is a successful business woman with her own company, who has had a traumatic incident happen to her.

Brian is a very successful man in his own right, who i used to women wanting to be with him just for his money.

A meeting between them at their friends weddings starts a relationship which neither of them expected and revealed things about the past that Brian wasnt expecting to hear.

This is a lovely story about how you can overcome something so horrible and find love again. The author tackles the subject of abuse and rape between a couple and it is done in a respectful way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered by Via Mari was a steamy quick read. I would give this book a five out of five. A brief warning, it does reference a different series but it is separate from it. I was a little confused at parts but as I continued to read the past made sense. This is a steamy read and surprisingly wholesome. I know it sounds contradictory but without going into too many details there is a sense of honor. I loved Jenny’s character she is strong, but vulnerable. Not a cry baby, has very distinct wants and knows how to ask for them. Brian from the outside is your standard billionaire bad boy but as the story continues, you start to get the bigger picture about him.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spectacular start to this series of books! I can’t wait to read more! This book is about Jenny Torzial, a confident and successful woman who dominates the business world. However, she is emotionally scarred from a past relationship and feels her submissive needs in the bedroom may have played a role in her tragedy. When she meets Brian Carrington, a sexy as hell, wealthy, cocky, womanizer who doesn’t do relationships, she is instantly attracted to him and can feel a pull towards his dominance even though she doesn’t understand why she feels the way she does. Brian tasks himself as her protector when outside forces are threatening them from all sides and he will stop at nothing to keep her safe. As they are thrown together, will their attraction to each other be enough to overcome their obstacles, or will they walk away in the end?

Shattered has a bit of everything. Authentic well developed main and supporting characters, romance, suspense, danger, tragedy, mafia, and of course plenty of hot and steamy sexy bits! I am looking forward to more of the Torzial Affair series and getting to know the characters better and delving deeper into the twists and turns of their lives. Definitely a must read series and must read author!

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1) by Via Mari is a book that I swear was glued to my hand until the very last page! I am new to this author and I have discovered that she is AMAZING!!! This is just book one of the three book series and I can’t wait to read the next 2!! The story has a way of drawing you in from the start and then holding you hostage on the edge of your seat, flipping pages like a mad person. The characters are charming, the story line is magnificent, and the writing was excellent.
The main female character, Jenny Torzial, is a very successful business owner of a consulting agency. She is working through a break up with the man she thought would be her husband. The ending of their relationship was very terrible and troubling. She has been carrying around emotional scars and baggage ever since then.
The main male character, Brian Carrington, is also a very successful and good looking business owner of the Carrington Steel Empire. Women throw themselves at him every chance they can because of the money and things he has to offer. However, Brian doesn’t do relationships or emotions… only one night stands.
Their paths happen to cross at the wedding of mutual friends and things take off quickly. There are so many twist and turns in this story. There are some very erotic scenes, as well as many action packed scenes. Add this book to your reading list… you won’t be disappointed. *This book has some content that may trigger some readers.*

5 out of 5 stars

The story Shattered (Shattered Hearts Series Book 1) by Nicole Banks is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time. The book pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself lost in both the story and characters. I enjoyed reading about Jasmine and Angel. They were childhood friends. They find their way back to each other. Their lives have been filled with guilt and pain. They feel broken. They also feel a strong attraction to each other. Will they allow the pain of the past to make themselves push each other away or will they take a chance with one another? Read this book to find out. The story at times had me with tears in my eyes. I also enjoyed the bantering that goes back and forth between Angel and Jasmine. They both are characters that you can’t help but care about. There are other characters that are introduced, and I enjoyed reading about how many of them interacted with Jasmine and Angel. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t want to put down until the last page. I highly recommend reading it.

Creatively living through music, writing and yoga.

I love the arts and how they move you and make you feel.

Reading has always been a great love of mine right after my love of music. Each song written is a story waiting to be told. Which, along with my over active imagination fueled my desire to write about the chaos that goes on in my head.

I love stringing words together. I love making people get lost in a story and connecting with fictional characters that remind them of someone they know.

I published my first book Shattered in 2013. It’s the first installment in the Shattered Hearts Series.

Shattered started out as an assignment for a college course I took at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. After I graduated college I went through my old papers and reconnected with the story morphing into so much more then what I wrote in my college course.

Now you can find me doing yoga, listening to music and working on getting out all the stories in my head, including dabbling in poetry. (Which I’ve always had a secret love affair with).

Shattered is the first book in Via Mari’s Torzial Affair Series, this is the second series I plan on reading from this author. The first I read was great but I actually feel more invested in this one.
Via Mari is great about addressing this before jumping into the novel, but some readers may find subject manner triggering.
We met Jenny in Via Mari’s Prestian Series and she was a character I really took a liking to. I’m thrilled to see we are going to see her story.
Overall I’m impressed all around with this book and excited to see how the series plays out.

Shattered was a great 5 star read and book one in The Torzial Affair series.
I was pulled right in from the beginning and couldn’t put it down until I was done. This is even better than the first series and I loved that one as well.

Jenny and Brian meet while they are best man and maid of honor for their best friends wedding. They have an instant connection that gets a little heated, Brian does something that triggers an unexpected reaction from Jenny and she flees.

He is intrigued by her and wants to know more about her and why she fled. He typically doesn’t want anything more than one night but something is different this time.

Jenny owns Torzial and she doesn’t really know who Brian is. He’s got a lot more power than she realizes. She was instantly attracted to him and when these two reconnect we get quite the hot and steamy scenes.

There is so much going on and my emotions were all over the place. There are some things from the past that come up and create challenges. I really loved both Brian and Jenny they really complimented each other. I will also say that there are some scenes that may be triggers for some. All of the secondary characters were great. Via does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. I highly recommend this series and the one prior you will love them. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Shattered (The Torzial Affair Book 1) By Via Mari. So let me start by saying these characters will be on my mind for a while because I truly didn’t want this book to end and I’m ready for more. This story definitely may have some triggers for readers but I think the author writes them well. I had quite the emotional roller coaster ride with this book and I loved every minute of it. From page one I knew I’d be up well into the night and that’s just what happened because I couldn’t put it down. I love the writing style, it’s paced nicely and I never felt confusion or that it lacked anything. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Five stars and my highest recommendation!

Shattered is the first book in the Torzial Affair series by Via Mari. The Torzial Affair is a spin of the Prestian Series. I highly recommend you read The Prestian Series first because it will give you the background on all of the characters featured in this book. Shattered had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until I read the last. This is Jenny and Brian’s story. It is full of action and the chemistry they have is off the charts. The story flowand I couldn’t believe I came to the end as soon as I did. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. If you like Billionaire book this is the perfect book to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered is the opening to Via Mari’s Torzial Affair series that is a spinoff of her Prestian series. I suggest you read that series before you immerse yourself into the Torzial Affair series! I know, you could read it as a standalone but you will get so much more out of it if you have read the Prestian series prior. There is some overlap at the end of the first series timewise but Torzial Affair is a totally different story!
Torzian Affair is the story of Jenny and Brian and Shattered is the beginning of it. We have two wounded hearts that have built walls around themselves, for different reasons but still … Via Mari gives us a very intense and steamy romance that touches on some very sensitive and touchy topics – rape, domination and submission …
I loved the opening and I cannot wait for the next step in their relationship!

I have never read anything by Via Mari prior to reading Shattered and OMG I have to go read all of her works!

This is about Jenny and Brian. I will say it could be a trigger from some but the author wrote it so beautifully (best way I can describe it) and not in a brutal way. She has literally been through so much that you would think it would just break her but she is the owner of her own consulting company. Brian is an heir to the Carrington Steel company. He feels that women only want him for one thing she he guards his heart. Their two very different worlds are about to come together and take you on one heck of a rollercoaster ride!

This book grabbed me from the very beginning and it still hasn’t let me go. I’m so excited to read more!

Shattered, The Torzial Affair Book One, By Via Mari was an amazing read and I couldn’t put it down. The characters that the author gave us were well defined and two that grabbed at my heart. And when these two are together the attraction is through the roof. Jenny, owner of her own company is finally abut to get the exposure she needs. Under all the business is a woman who still carries emotional scars from an abusive relationship. Brian is the heir to the Carrington Steel and figured long ago, woman only want one thing from him. He guarded his heart and was only interested in one night stands. When these two collide together you really see what they both want and need and what they both need to overcome to open a whole new world for the both of them.
This is not the first book I have read by Via Mari and this has become a favorite. I love her writing style, and I loved the well thought characters. I give this book 5 stars and cannot wait to read more in this series!

In Shattered, we dive into Jenny and Brian’s stories which are captivating and riveting to many degrees. Each of them is handling their lives as they feel they should, but something is broken within those dynamics even if they don’t come out and act that way. As their stories unfold we are given into an incredible chemistry that shatters barriers between these two, however, at the same time, is it enough to overcome hurdles in their lives.

Having read and loved the Prestian series by this author I couldn’t wait to get started on Shattered which is the first book in the Torzial Affair series and what a start to the series it was! I was hooked from the very first page until the last! The story was excellently written, there are some tougher parts to read however the author write about them carefully and respectfully. I really do absolutely love everything that I have read by this author.
The main characters Jenny and Brian were captivating to read about and having met them in the previous story I was really excited to see how their story would progress! Their story had it emotional parts but the connection that they had was amazing. Brian might be a controlling dominant but there was another side to him and he wanted to help Jenny overcome her demons.
I am very excited to read the next book in the series, Bound, to see where Jenny and Brian’s relationship goes!

I’m not going to lie, I couldn’t get this book open fast enough as soon as it hit my kindle. I loved the Prestian Series from Via Mari, so knowing that this was a spin-off with characters that I had already grown to love I was dying to see what Ms. Mari had in store for them. Boy oh boy she did not disappoint, especially given my high expectations. I have a feeling that the Torzial Affair books will be something I am going to adore. I am going to note that it would probably super beneficial to read the Prestian series before you dive into this one. There is just something special about having the full story and knowing these characters lives.

In Torizal Affair we find out all about Jenny, Kate’s best friend. I love Jenny, no lie probably more than I thought I loved Kate. She is one strong and amazing gal and reading her story, while at times difficult and possibly triggering for some, was truly one of my favorite reading times this year so far. I love how you can see Via Mari’s growth as a writer and truly with the grace she wrote Jenny’s story it is evident once again that she has some pretty amazing author skills. You won’t get much as far as spoilers of more details from me, I won’t spoil the goods for you, but take my word for it that this book and the Prestian series is one that you don’t want to miss.

Jenny Torzial is highly successful in her professional life as the owner of a consulting company on the verge of national recognition. Her spirited façade belies the emotional scars gouged by the man she thought would someday be her husband.

Brian Carrington, the cocky, extremely reactive heir to the Carrington Steel empire, has concluded that women only want one thing from him – his money and the prestige of his last name. Investing no emotional energy in one-night stands, he has developed the ultimate guard for his wealth, status, and heart.

What will happen when their worlds collide into a dominant and submissive power exchange? Can they overcome the demons of her past as he is thrust into the role of protector?

~ AMAZON ~

Via Mari lives in the Midwest with her husband and their loveable fur baby. As a child who was raised in both the United States and the United Kingdom, she spent countless hours traveling and developed a passion for the written word at a young age.

She is an avid reader of romance. In fact, you can still find her curled up in an overstuffed chair, especially during winter when the wood fire is crackling and popping, reading a page-turning novel until the early hours of the morning.

As she began researching and writing love scenes for her own series, it became apparent there seemed to be a cultural divide between what people believed was normal sexual behavior, or vanilla, and that which people considered BDSM. She enjoys creating characters and scenes that allow the reader to safely explore what they would and would not be willing to try.

Shattered (The Torzial Affair)
By Via Mari

Shattered is book one in the, Torzial affair series by Via Mari. Having never read anything by this author before I was impressed with the writing style. This book is written in such a way it will pull you right into the story from the beginning. I was captivated by the end of the first chapter. This book centres around Jenny who has a successful consulting business. Jenny has been totally destroyed by her ex partner. Brian is the heir to a steel empire who comes across some what cocky. Until he met Jenny he was so sure all women wanted him for was his money. As soon as they met the chemistry between them was obvious. But now Jenny needs to learn to trust again and Brian needs to be less cocky and see Jenny as the awesome broken woman she is, and show her that love can be found again. But the question is have either of them got the heart to take that extra step to love, trust and a happy life?
