Brodie’s come to Cotton Creek simply because he has a lot of leave time, and the new training facility that was built in the same county is about to have a two-hundred foot climbing tower. There’s little Brodie likes more than free-climbing and he’s agreed to train a new batch of recruits. It’ll give him some down time to maybe work on an engine, visit with friends and if lucky, find a pretty … lady to enjoy some time with.
What he never counted on was being thrust into the middle of a tantalizing and sexy mystery. A mysterious woman runs the obstacle course of the training center every morning before dawn and she kills it. Brodie is a true sucker for a mystery, not to mention gorgeous red-heads. So, naturally he’ll have to catch this mysterious beauty when she’s on one of her morning challenges with the course.
That’s going to open a Pandora’s box he never imagined.
Things are about to get downright exciting in Cotton Creek.

Oh boy does this book take you for a mind trip! I loved this book, maybe even more than the previous in this series. The narration is perfect and the writing is so intense that I was hooked from the beginning.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
Whoa! These books in this series will keep you up late in the evening it you don’t start them early enough. I really didn’t want to put my ereader down once I started. I have loved each and every one of these books from this series. I just can’t get enough of these wonderful characters. You just get sucked into their world. I really hate to see each one of these books end. Fortunately though the next book comes out and I am right back into it. It is amazing how compelling these books get. I highly recommend reading the entire series.

Brody Judge is book 5 of the Heatbreakers & Heroes series and another well written, suspenseful, twists & turns and swoon worthy romance!!
Brody was invited by Deacon to Cotton Creek to help with some new recruits so he decided to use his leave to help out but what he doesn’t expect is a mystery woman who ignites him in ways he hasn’t experienced in a long time. Each time he tries to get close she runs away until she decides he might no be a threat to her but as they grow closer things keep happening without explanation, is she who Brody thought, is she hiding from her past, or is she a threat to the people of Cotton Creek??
I really liked Brody Judge. I was also glad to have a lot of the previous characters back for updates & to help out. This book had a unique storyline with some psychological/ paranormal elements.
Ciana Stone has written about another interesting couple in Cotton Creek. Brody is a true Navy Seal, an all out “good guy”, hawt and a gentleman. Trina (Red) is a mystrey with lots and lots of secrects. This book has lots of twists, turns and surprises. I loved that the characters all ready involved with The Sanctuary play a big roll in this story as well it really added to the overall story. Easy to recommend this book as a great addition to the series. looking forward to Wiley’s book.
This one is the in its own standing with being the most unusual which captivates you completely right away. Brody will have his hands full with the one who will also fill us with the story that will come out once he crosses Trina’s path. She will be the complex one that will have us absorbing every minute because she is fascinating. With this too the author gives you a path that keeps you also going oh with how the fixing and healing proceeds. The romance is the right level with heat to sear any wounds. The characteristics of these all make each one of them special with not getting enough of them. The intrigue in this one hit the spot also. Now to try an wait for the next one will be a task in itself.
I enjoyed this book the story line was exciting and adventurous as well as suspenseful and romantic. Brody and Trina, Sable and Caroline’s situation kept you page turning it was so unbelievable until you had to stop, but right back at it because it was so good. One day when Red thought that Brody was drowning she came to help but when he touched her she went to screaming and wouldn’t stop until he calmed her and she ask him to take her home, something happen and they stayed together and realized that they cared deeply for each other. Brody wanted Trina to be careful with Sadie. Trina required some help from Etta but not the kind she provided the others who come to the center. But Trina needed their help if she were to survive and they all wanted to help especially Brody, Mathias and JJ since she helped them, as well as her family. I am voluntarily reviewing a book gifted to me by the author with no obligation.

Brody came to Cotton Creek for the obstacle training course.
He had some downtime, so why not enjoy it.
Wait !
Who is that mysterious Red head ?
Read the book + see how Brody got more than he bargain for in Cotton Creek.
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in the new series!
This one was a little different than the others. The female charactor in this one has multiple personalities and Brody is trying to figure out who’s in charge. There are a lot of surprises in this book and it will keep u on your toes. There are outside forces helping and one group trying to hurt her. Another great read. It’s really hard for me to go into detail w/out spoilers so grab this book up to read.
It was time to stop running…time to put the demons to rest. That’s why she was in Cotton Creek, looking for answers and one individual in particular.
When she arrived in town, she tried to remain invisible, they wouldn’t let her. The last thing she expected was to receive sanctuary and friendship but that is exactly what she got.
An unexpected meeting with Brody Judge altered both of their lives. She saw him falling and jumped to save him. When she touched him, something brook free and unlocked something within him. Seems she was more than just a woman and he had to have her.
This novel is all about a warrior who possesses unusual powers but she needs as much help as she can get for her to break free. Cotton Creek is home to a few individuals who possess unusual powers of their own. I am thinking she is in the exact right place but that doesn’t mean it will be an easy journey. She will meet many people who will help and guide her along a very unusual path and as a reader I have to say I loved every step, every page, every surprise.
She might have had a plan but it seems the Universe had one too.
I just finished listening to the Audio version of Brody Judge and have fallen in love all over again with all the characters in Cotton Creek. The audio version read by Rhett Samuel Price is mes-merizing.
Can the men in this little town of Cotton Creek get any hotter? Brody Judge comes to town to help his Seal ‘brothers’ with the training facility they are setting up. At the Obstacle Course he happens upon a beautiful woman who can kick butt. However, she is very mysterious. Staying below the radar in a very small town is not easy. This book has quite a psychological element to it because of the main female character Trina. This book kept me on my toes and reading to see what was going to happen next.
The quality of Ciana Stone’s writing is exceptional. The psychological and suspense elements in this tome are amazing! There is also a little magic thrown in for good measure. I am so looking forward to the next book in this series!
Brody Judge is a surprising story. At first, I admit, it took me a little bit to get into it but the further into the story I got the more I liked it. The narrator grew on me and I ended up really liking him too. I’m so glad I stuck with it. I would have missed out on a fantastic story.
Brody comes to Cotton Creek only planning to stay a bit before returning to Canada but the gorgeous, mysterious Red captures his attention and maybe even his heart.
Reds past is painful and gut wrenching. She’s been through so much and understandably lost herself along the way. Now she’s trying to find her true self again.
There were a lot of challenges in her journey but she meets some amazing people along the way that give her not only their friendship but unconditional love and support, especially Brody.
He truly is a hero. He was patient, understanding and never once gave up on Red.
Their story is intriguing with a lot of twists, turns and surprises in it. I’m glad I went on this journey with them. I look forward to checking out some of the other books.
WOW!!! The complexity of this plot is above standard, it just amazes me how much this author pours into her heroes. Her writing style is unique and guaranteed to consume and cocoon you into the lives and heart of the characters. Brody…whew this man has the strength of an ox, he just pours into Trina and fights with her, tooth and nail. Trina is so giving, both characters are heroes and the Cotton Creek “brother” support they receive, as they unravel this emotional mystery is outstanding, they don’t even flinch as they unite to pluck the painful thorns from the rose. One of the best books I have read so far this year!!!
Another book that I hated to put down to do other things. I was completely caught up in the story from the beginning.
Admittedly, at the beginning, I was confused. Thoughts going through my mind like, “What? Whoa! Wait a minute. Did I read that right?”
Then, the pieces started to gradually fall into place. You get one thing figured out, and you get hit with a twist. Then another, and another. This book keeps you on your toes until almost the very end.
I enjoyed both the psychological, empathetic, and healing aspects of this book. The sense of family, friends, and support was a strong background theme of this book.
Although the romance between Brody and Red was very apparent, and you still got the steamy scenes and to read about all the hot sexy men; the romance took a backseat for me. It was important, but there was so much in addition, the romance became the icing on the cake.
This is a standalone. You don’t have to read them in order, but I think they will be more enjoyable if you do. If this is your first Hearbreakers & Heroes book, I imagine you will go back and read some of the others.
