Damaged Hearts by Ashley Hodge is exciting and
intriguing. It had me turning the pages
and feeling a gamut of emotions from dread to excitement. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting
going in but this book is so much more than I thought it would be.
Stevie Russo has a troubled past. A past she thought she left behind forever
when she left her hometown of Portland.
When her best friend Jordan needs her help, however, she returns. Here, she meets and is instantly attracted to
Zane, Jordan’s older brother. With
Stevie’s past she knows she can never be with Zane but that does not stop the
desire and want she has for him
Zane Malley is an ex-military man. After being in the military so long he is
brutal and harsh. He also has a lot of
anger geared towards his father. When
Stevie comes into his life, he begins to laugh again. He also feels and instant pull towards Stevie
but knows deep down he is not good enough for her.
Will Zane and Stevie be able to mend their
hearts or are their pasts just too much to overcome?
I enjoyed this story tremendously.
Zane is sex on a stick. I could feel the sexy drip right off of him. The way he talks, you just know he has
swagger. For all his sexiness, he sure
could me make mad with the stupid decisions he made!
Stevie is oh so strong. She scared of letting anyone in for fear that
they will judge her once they know her past.
I loved that she wasn’t a pushover and that when push comes to shove,
she did what needed to be done!
Draven is Zane’s best friend and he stood out
as a character. I would really like to
read his story.
Recommended to anyone who loves an exciting,
page-turning read with a HEA
