The moment I walk into the hotel in New Orleans, I’m slammed back into the past when I come face to face with the man who’s heart I broke. It’s not easy seeing him again. Not … broke.
It’s not easy seeing him again. Not only because my emotions are in turmoil, but because he wants a second chance. Only, I’m not sure he’s going to want me when he finds out the secret I’d been keeping from him.
I should walk away, but it’s not the right thing to do. I have to take a chance and confess. The fear of him walking out, this time for good is one I’ll have to take.
This is our second chance, one that will either reunite us or break us apart forever.

This story was smut-tastic and I had to keep sitting in front of a fan while reading it! Sensually erotic, passion-filled scenes and broken characters made this story one super satisfying read. While the plot had a certain amount of heaviness to it, it had an easy flow and compelled me to stay tuned right to the sweet end.
Jayce – a manwhore extraordinaire who refused to open his heart to anyone after losing the love of his life. He was loyal to his friends, he was searching for family, and he held out hope that his love would come back.
Kenna – everyone’s best friend and the woman Jayce loses himself in to numb his pain. She was a sweet girl suffering her own heartache and recognized that his eyes mirrored her own broken heart.
Ivy – the girl that got away. Her father succeeded in separating her from Jayce and a second chance they both didn’t count on gave them both exactly what they were missing – each other.
Two shattered shards of glass.
Two broken pieces of a puzzle.
Two flames of one fire.
My Flash. His Firefly. Forever.
Secrets and lies and devastation were the seeds of Jayce and Ivy’s separation but the author did a great job of bringing these characters back together. I enjoyed the incredibly sexy flashbacks to who they were together before the breakup, which gave much needed background to the depth of their connection. While the plot wasn’t all that intricate or complicated, it definitely benefitted the story. All sex does not a relationship make and I was glad that the author gave these characters and their bond some substance. Dani René has a real knack for capturing the subtleties of an intimate scene and I couldn’t help but savor each and every one of them. I can honestly say that I’m looking forward to reading more from her!

You will not be disappointed!
This book has it all… I was crying one minute and screaming the next..I went through the emotional roller coaster with Jayce and Ivy.. this series is amazing!
Yup! Another great read. I love reading Dani’s earlier works as well as her newer. Every character she writes is one I love, or love to hate. And she has given me so many book boyfriends, Jayce being the latest. This is a second chance book, and that usually comes with some type of hurt and heartache and Jayce and Ivy’s story is no different. If you like Dani’s writing or second chance romances think I suggest you give this one a try.
So much anger. So much pain. Shattered by love. Torn apart by those who are closest in the name of love but not really. This is a beautiful emotional story. Their story so wrong in so many ways, so right in other ways never explored. There are secrets. There are lies. There were mistakes made. They didn’t fight for their love.
This author does it down and dirty in so many ways. But it’s not the sex, kinkiness, the passion that keeps bringing you back or that makes it down and dirty. Her characters are so. . . real and the emotion just bleeds from the pages. You can’t escape it, so don’t even try. This story will wreck you. Games will be played. So many secrets to be revealed. It can’t be helped, it’s an intricate dance. There is so much more than it appears going on. Things are never easy with her books don’t expect things to change now.
“Because you’re my Firefly. If ever I lost my way, and we were apart, you would light the path for me to get back to you.”
Unbelievable, intense emotions within Shattered By Love by Dani Rene. Woman! What can you not write? You my friend are one talented and magnificent author who shines so bright in your writing that I am forever grateful to come across your work.
This second chance romance is powerful and full of heart. Jayce & Ivy’s love is unforgettable and will be with you long after this book in concluded! Not to mention, you are presented not just with their story but with Kenna & Cole’s as well.
Jayce & Ivy had the epitome of love until Ivy’s dad separated them with threats, making Jayce flee from his soulmate. Jayce lived in heartache all the days that he couldn’t be with his “Firefly”. Now 5 years later they are reunited for Ivy sisters wedding but Ivy brings a huge surprise with her and Jayce is reluctant and angry to forgive. Can he see past the hurt for his true love for her?
Be still my heart! Sweet, sexy, high sexual content that will have your heart pumping with filthy talking Jayce! Jesus, that man can bring me to my knees the way he controls Ivy. His form of foreplay too with his camera.. sexy!!!
Dani always delivers with her erotic, passionate tales and if you haven’t divulged in one of her novels yet, might I say you are missing out!! Now is the time to jump in with two feet and this book is perfect!
Jagged pieces from a shattered love
Is it worth it to just walk away? Is it worth it to leave?
Jayce and Ivy were high school sweethearts who thought they had their whole lives to spend with each other. Then circumstances happened which made them walk away. Now years later, they are give a second chance. Would past mistakes and kept secrets never give them their happily ever after?
I am a true sucker for second chance romance, and this book truly left me shattered. You can feel the love Jayce and Ivy have for one another leap off the pages at you. You want them to be together, but life is never that easy. Dani does a brilliant job of bringing their tragic journey to life. The chemistry, the drama, the angst keeps you glued to the pages till the very end.
Shattered by Love is part of The Broken Series, but can be read as a standalone. I would recommend both books to get a wholesome experience.
What can I say Dani Rene has done it yet again. Absolutely incredible story that took us through the past and present of Jayce and Ivy. This book was full will so much emotion, you feel for them so deeply that I actually had tears of both sadness and joy while reading and of course the steaming hot scenes. I actually had goosebumps at times because it was so hot. I loved how we were still able to hear about Like & Cassie too. Loved loved loved Jay & Ivy even more then I did before.
