Broken by Love (The Full Circle Series) by MJ Masucci. There’s a few trouble areas I had with this story but all in all I enjoyed it. I didn’t have the easiest of time connecting with our characters but eventually I grew to like each one for different reasons. The storyline had great potential and a somewhat easy flow but I was a bit confused at times but I’ll be honest it didn’t lessen my enjoyment. I just wanted more depth to both characters and storyline. I do like that it is a stand-alone and truly has an ending. It’s paced nicely and kept me engaged. Each character has their story to tell and in the end I’d say I’d recommend this book. I’m giving it four stars and truly can’t wait to see what’s next.

I really enjoyed reading this book. M.J. Masucci does a wonderful job of describing the characters but also the scenes so it makes it so easy to completely immerse yourself in the story. We started the journey with Lexi finding out she was going to be working for her ex fiance. There’s a lot of internal struggle from Lexi as she faces new tasks and challenges she’s faced with balancing her new job working as well as a soon to be husband. This juicy read comes with a plot twist in the end that I did not see coming but I love how the book ended and set itself up for the possibility of a second. I would definitely recommend this book to read and I look forward to the second one to come!

Broken by Love written by M.J. Masucci is the first book by this author that I have read. I really enjoyed reading this book so much that I read this in one sitting… (Thank goodness it was a Sunday, so I didn’t have to do anything) LOL. So, the characters are great and well written I enjoyed the plot even if it was frustrating at times was great and different. I wanted to strangle Lexi, JC, and Noah. I loved the quirkiness of the characters. This is a second chances romance, with drama, love, betrayal, angst, forgiveness, and a few twists.

It seems Lexi has a hard time keeping fiancés… Everything is going great with her now fiancés Noah when she finds out the new boss is her ex JC. Things seem to unravel as she works with JC and she finds out the Noah is keeping secrets. She doesn’t have to worry about Noah he is her present and future he is her rock she can trust him, right?
As things at work heat up things at home are blowing up. She now realizes that JC is still in love with her, but he is her past, isn’t he? Now she finds out that he isn’t her rock she doesn’t even know him did she ever know him.
As tensions rise and betrayals unfold, Lexi is soon left questioning the strength of her bond with Noah and whether she’s marrying the right man.
You will have to read this great book I can’t wait until February so I can read Hunter’s story

Broken by Love was a good 4 star read
This is a second chance romance and was my first read from this author and I really enjoyed it.

Lexi finds herself in an unexpected and uncomfortable situation. She finds out that her new boss is her ex-fiance and he still has some feelings for her. When she was engaged to JC they were really young and he was constantly cheating on her, than he broke it off with her.

Now she is engaged to Noah and ready for a new start. As the story moves forward Lexi finds herself once again being betrayed. And what will happen when she finds out just how JC feels about her? Will she make the right decisions for herself and get her HEA?

My emotions were all over the place while reading. I wanted to wring a couple of necks and shake some sense into Lexi. This is my first read from this author and she pulled me right in with her writing. We do get some steamy scenes and the secondary characters were great. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started now.

Broken By Love is a fantastic second chance romance novel by M.J. Masucci. This was the first time that I had read any of this author’s works so was unsure what to expect. What I got was a well written, intriguing second chance romance novel that I really, really enjoyed reading.
Imagine the horror of starting your new dream job only to find out your new boss is your ex fiancé who previously got a promotion that should have been yours, then broke up with you months before your wedding. Yeah well that’s what happened to Alexa (Lexi) Stanford. Even worse to find out that although J.C. is now married, he wants Lexi back. Lexi, of course is having none of it as she’s happily engaged to Noah. Or is she? Why can’t she stop thinking about J.C.?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Seeing into Lexi’s head with the struggles she has over her body’s reaction to J.C. and wanting to keep their relationship strictly professional was enthralling. I was really gripped by Lexi’s struggles. Throw into the mix Noah’s secret child and ex that Lexi knew nothing about, all makes for an exciting read.
This may have been the first time I read any of this author’s work but I’m sure it won’t be the last. 100% recommend this

This is an lovely story about how we can be hurt by someone we love but that we can forgive and learn to love again.

Alexa has finally got her dream job but little does she realise her new boss is her ex, JC who broke her heart when he left her and ended their engagement. Since that time she has moved on and let another man into her heart and is marrying him.

Noah is so far from what JC was like that Alexa knows her heart is safe with him or so she thinks.

This story is a rollercoaster of emotions as trust is lost and gain and love is lost and returned. People can surprise you and heartache can heal to become love.

This is the first story in this series. Each story is a standalone. This story was filled with drama and twists. There were moments that felt rushed, but, overall, this story went at a good pace. This was a good second chance love story. I am interested in how MJ Masucci is going to develop this series.

Four Stars

I have mixed emotions about this story. The author puts Lexi in a very difficult situation right from jump. Then just keeps adding fuel to the fire. It was such a disaster I had to keep reading. The title of this story is real. Lexi is broken by love. The things she has been through not just with JC but with Noah as well. These kind of things hit your self esteem hard. You start to feel like you’re less. You don’t feel beautiful. You become jaded. I do think that Lexi moved on way to fast. There’s no way you can love someone and be hurt by them and move on that quick. But what ever works. I didn’t like JC he was a fake alpha male. I normally love second chance books but this one set with me wrong. Lexi didn’t give herself time to heal and to truly find her own happiness. So many people are afraid to be alone that they forget that happiness and love starts with loving themselves and being happy with who they are. That’s a lesson I would’ve liked to see Lexi learn. Don’t get me wrong the story was good it definitely had its moments. I really liked the writers style and overall flow of writing.

I thought from the beginning that Noah was too good to be true. Lexi and Noah’s relationship was believable. Crazy chemistry and very well written. And I wanted more of Lexi and JC’s relationship.
But part of me was completely blindsided by the turn of events. Made for a titillating storyline. I enjoyed it though. The ending seemed a bit rushed is my only negative. Would definitely read this author again. Some major potential.

Broken by Love is the first book in The Full Circle Series by MJ Masucci. She is a new author to me. Masucci has attention to detail and a plot line that is amazing. Her characters are complex and completely could be someone in your life. I found myself reading the entire book in one sitting. I needed to keep turning the pages to see what is coming next. This story is about Lexi and her life. It appears as if Lexi’s life did go full circle. She is engaged to Noah, but she has started a new job and you will never guess who her new boss is. It is her ex, JC.Now JC is still has feelings for Lexi. She will have to figure out what she needs (really wants) to do with regards to Noah and JC. You will have to read this story to find this out for yourself.

I enjoy a book where you can’t tell which way the storyline could go with the characters and these characters have a way at pulling at the readers. I’m gonna say the characters are relatable in how human they are as we are as a reader. Lexi, the lead female, is where we’ve all been a time or two as a woman. The two lead males could have treated her better. Very good read but I wanted the characters to be better for Lexi to fall for. We can all relate to the story otherwise. This is a great original page-turner that’s really unpredictable and entertaining.

Broken by Love (The Full Circle Series) by MJ Masucci is a highly emotionally charged romance story where you are so mad and frustrated and you just want to smack some sense into the characters. Never doubt the power of a woman’s intuition but I found it hard that a woman would put up with what she did as well. It has all the makings to make a good story, but it fell short with me as I just could not connect with the characters because I was so disappointed with all of their behaviour.
I am sure there are many of you that will really enjoy this story so give it a go.

Beautiful cover and intriguing synopsis had me adding this to my “hurry and read” list. This author is new to me and I was eager to be introduced what I anticipated to be a highly emotional read.

All of that to say, while I enjoyed the premise and felt myself get invested quickly, I as quickly found myself frustrated with the characters much as I would a friend, wondering why they would do what they did. In that way, I applaud the author for making the characters relate to me on a level that I was invested and questioning them, not sitting removed from the plot not caring what happened next.

Overall, I found it to be intriguing and attention grabbing. I look forward to reading more in the series.

Broken by Love by MJ Masucci was an intriguing second chance romance story to read. I wasn’t sure how I would like it after the synopsis but decided to give it a try. I didn’t become as connected with this story as I have in other books, but I still really enjoyed the book. The main characters of this story are Lexi, Noah and J.C. who were interesting to learn about. The more I read I did find myself unable to put the book down. Would recommend! I am looking forward to the second book.

Broken by Love was a great story! I felt like it was a little rushed in some parts, not what I was expecting from reading the synopsis. Very sweet in some parts, very frustrating in others, it also felt like a story you saw coming, with expected twists. I really enjoyed reading it however, and I can’t wait to read the second novel in the Full Circle series. I haven’t read a novel from MJ Masucci before, and I will definitely read more from her in the future.

I won’t lie this is a hard one for me to review. I loved the cover of Broken by Love. It is stunning and who wouldn’t want to know what has to happen between the covers. Other than that I went in completely blind. I have never read anything from MJ Masucci before and I didn’t even really read the reviews or synopsis. Now that I finished the book and I can see I am not the only one who struggled with this novel a tad. I sincerely wanted to love this book and could see where if it was maybe revisited and strengthened it has the potential to be a great 5 star read. As of now its a struggle for me because this is a solid three star read. What I really struggled with was the characters in this story are in desperate need of many things including help and they really none of them should be in a relationship until they do so. It is a toxic situation amongst everyone involved yet I found that the woman makes a lot of excuses for the men who do these things to her. We need more strong and resilient women to read about these days so I struggled to get into it for that main reason. I also just could not see where this book was going. It was choppy and I struggled to find that flow that comes with a good romance read.

The concept is not bad and that is evident but it just needs more. Alexa is our main female lead and we find her starting a new job with the ex from Hades as her boss. Regardless of the fact that Alexa is engaged she still engages the boss and the behavior. Or fiance is a whole other story and he too really could you some cold hard truth and help. I wanted to see these guys end up with all different people by the end of the book. I will make an effort to see if this book has rewrites at some point and to maybe check out some other novels of hers if they are available and see if they are better.

This is the first book I’ve read by MJ Masucci. All the characters in this book had me completely drawn in. I couldn’t wait to see where the love triangle with JC, Lexi and Noah was headed. In this story of love, betrayal and forgiveness you’ll get lost in the world MJ has created. I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens! The love between JC and Lexi is something tangible and real. The story itself is one that’s been told before but this was done in such a different and interesting way. This is a wonderful new series and I want more.

I must say, I went into this with high hopes based off the synopsis and I feel a bit let down. I wanted a bit more depth with the characters I just couldn’t connect in a way I usually can, even in a small way.
I did enjoy reading and getting to know these characters, Lexi gets a new job only to have her ex be her new boss. When feelings start to resurface between these two, there’s a battle within for Lexi.
I will be going back and reading this again as I think the 2 books i read before this were deep deep romantic and sweet this just threw my reading brain off kilter.
I will be reading more from this author in the future as I did like the story overall.

Broken By Love by MJ Masucci is a story of a woman caught between her past and her present.
I was intrigued by the story from the moment I read about this book and knew it was one I had to try. I hadn’t read anything by this author before so didn’t know what to expect when I turned the first pages.
I did struggle to connect with the characters a little bit throughout this story. I couldn’t quite work out who I thought was best for her – if any of them – and it made it a little hard to engage with them. The story was pretty good though and had so redeeming qualities about it. Although there we aspects of it I found rushed I thought the author did ok overall good job on the story line. It certainly kept me turning the pages.
I would definitely give this book another go and I will definitely look into more work by this author.

Broken by Love (The Full Circle Series) is the first book I have read by M.J Masucci. When this book showed up on my recommended book feed, I admit I was more than a little intrigued. So I grabbed a copy and jumped right in.
It is a second chances romance, with drama, love, betrayal, angst, past history, forgiveness, and some push-pull. I have to be honest and say that I am a little disappointed, because I really couldn’t connect with the characters, even though I really wanted to. I definitely wanted to love this story, but I felt the writing was a little stilted and the flow of the story wasn’t as smooth as I had hoped for and some parts felt abrupt and/or strained. I really think the characters and storyline could use just a little more depth to really make an impact. But that is probably just me- so, I will revisit this book again in the future to see if I still feel the same way- or whether I was just having a ‘bad read day’ during this book.
As I said, I really wanted to love this book- but for me, it fell short- the characters frustrated me so badly, I wanted to smack their heads together. Some of the dialog didn’t feel realistic or believable, and even a little contrived for the situation. The characters personalities grated on me- and I really couldn’t find my groove with the storyline. Even though there is a bit of a twist to add some interest and drama to the story- it still didn’t grab me in the way I wished it had. But I will revisit later and reassess things then.

Thank you, M.J Masucci!

Alexa has just started a new job and is meeting with her new boss, Camden. These two not only know each other as Lexi and CJ, but they were once engaged. CJ is now married to someone else and Lexi is engaged to another man…so working together should be easy, right? However, when CJ realizes his mistake by getting married, and Lexi’s fiancé starts acting weird, things at the office (and away from the office) are not easy at all. Lexi is giving her fiancé the benefit of the doubt and working hard to work through their problems, but she refused to be anyone’s doormat again.

This story is filled with love and drama and felt like real-life. The situations the characters found themselves in felt so real that I was feeling their emotions right along with them. I laughed, cried, and found myself wanting Lexi to find happiness wherever that led her. I was immersed into the story from the first page and sat in the same spot until I got to the last page. The supporting characters in this story are amazing, and I am looking forward to the next book where one of them is featured. I will definitely be picking it up!

This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I am definitely looking forward to more! This is a great second chance love story that truly gets you involved in the lives of the characters and makes you feel like you are right there with them. You feel what they’re feeling. Empathize with them. Yell at them. I may or may not have called Lexi stupid once or twice! LOL!

Lexi was engaged to JC when she was young. He continually cheated on her and she continually put up with it. He eventually breaks off their engagement…the thought that she would have actually gone through with it is reason enough for all my yelling at her while reading this book! Now, years later Lexi is happily engaged to Noah and starting a new job, looking forward to a new beginning, when she finds out the JC is her new boss! Not only is he her new boss…but he’s still in love with her, realizing that giving her up was the worst mistake of his life. Does she reciprocate his feelings? What about Noah? Find out the answers by diving in to the pages of this stellar love story!

This book brings out all the feels! You just can’t help caring about these characters and getting totally involved in their lives. It’s sexy, smart, frustrating, and joyful all at once. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next book in the series!

The story Broken by Love (The Full Circle Series) by MJ Masucci is a New Adult romance book. It is a story that pulled me in from the start and didn’t let me go until I had finished the final page. I enjoyed reading about the character of Lexi Stanford. She is an intelligent, independent, beautiful woman who is engaged to her fiancé, Noah. Her life becomes more complicated when she finds out her new boss is her ex, JC. What will happen when secrets are revealed? How will Lexi deal with JC when she figures out he is still in love with her? There are betrayals and tensions are on the rise. What does the future hold for Lexi? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has heartbreaking moments. There are times when I was angry with what Lexi is going through and other times when I was misty-eyed. I grew to care about what happened to Lexi with each chapter that I read. I wanted her to find happiness. There are secondary characters that I enjoyed reading about as they support and help Lexi. There are steamy scenes in this story that will make the temperature in the room rise. It is a book that I would recommend reading.
