The eagerly-awaited third book in the McIntyre Security, Inc. series is here! And yes, it can be read standalone.Lia McIntyreAs a 22-year-old female professional bodyguard, Lia’s a rarity in a male-dominated field. She may be a petite, cute blond, but she’s a master of martial arts and Krav Maga, and she can render a man twice her size unconscious in just seconds. Lia hides a painful past behind … seconds. Lia hides a painful past behind a snarky, take-no-prisoners attitude. She was horribly betrayed by her first love, and she’s determined never to let anyone use her or hurt her again. To make sure that never happens again, she’s got rules. One, never sleep with a client. And two, never sleep with the same guy twice. The walls she’s built up to protect herself are rock solid. Until she meets her new client, Jonah Locke, a swoon-worthy rock star with a heart of gold.
Jonah Locke
Jonah Locke is the front man for the most popular rock band in the United States. His band dominates the charts, and he’s constantly hounded by crowds of fan-girls and paparazzi. The guy can’t sneeze without everyone on social media knowing. A bad break-up with the Queen of Pop sends him from LA to Chicago, where he just wants to lie low and write new songs. Unfortunately, trouble follows him to Chicago. When he meets his new bodyguard, he falls hard for her. But lust transforms into something more when he gets to know the woman beneath the kick-ass shell.
Broken can be read standalone, but it will be enjoyed more as part of the series, because there are lots of cameos of other beloved McIntyre Security characters. HEA, yes! Cliffhanger, no! Read this book only if you like smart-mouthed, feisty heroines who don’t take crap from anyone.

I love Jonah and lia. This was an awesome story. Loved how caring and down to earth Jonah was. He was awesome. Lia is kick ass and loved it every time that she should never be underestimated. Hated Dwight. Thank god that was dealt with. Love how close Beth and lia are. And how everyone rallies around each other. Jonah is swoon worthy. Only thing I wish we got was Mikayla and Logan in trouble maybe as an epilogue. Essentially she bought child porn. Screw her.
BROKEN is about Lia McIntyre, a badass, take no prisoners, don’t underestimate me, force to reckon with. She has her demons but she gets the job done. Jonah is a rock star trying to get away from the glitz and glamour of L.A. and hires the McIntyre Security Agency to protect him. Lia is assigned as the bodyguard and that’s when the fun begins. A great read with a standalone HEA ending.
I became an instant fan of April Wilson’s writing from the moment I met Shane and Beth and was entangled in their world in the first book in the McIntyre Security Bodyguard series. She is eloquent, her characters are full of complexity with all their fears, dreams, and passion and her story telling skills are off the charts! So when I am given a chance to step back into the McIntyre fictional world and hang out with the family, I am ready and willing! Broken is a book that I have been pining for. I fell hard for Lia from the moment she was introduced in the first book in the series, Vulnerable and couldn’t wait to get to know this feisty bodyguard and see her find her a man that can keep up with her every move! Lia and Jonah are intense, vibrant, and boiling over with untapped desire for one another.
Lia McIntyre intrigued me with her “I am just as good as any man” attitude and she backed it up with every strike of her fist and jump kick she delivered to her opponents with both her body and her words. After reading her and Jonah’s story, my girl crush is even bigger and I cannot wait to visit her in future books. Lia is a kick ass chick with a huge heart filled with passion that can barely be contained in her petite little body. After having her heart broken and her trust destroyed by her first love Lia has huge walls built around her heart that only Jonah can tear down and I couldn’t wait to see the walls crumble!
Jonah Locke is a “still waters run deep” type of hero that inspires a reader to dig deep to get to know the heart of this mysterious character. Once you get up close and chummy with Jonah, he is forever etched into your soul. He is the broody, silent, and misunderstood type that oozes sex appeal without even trying. I enjoyed every nail biting, lip licking moment with this rock star and couldn’t get enough of him from his ratty t-shirts, ripped jeans, scuffed boots, and his down to earth persona.
April Wilson delivers another read in the McIntyre series that has her readership growing and deepens our love for the McIntyre family. I highly recommend Broken, along with the first two books Vulnerable and Fearless in the McIntyre Security Bodyguard series for romance that is sure to leave you dreaming about sexy bodyguards, courageous heroines that are full of sass, and drool worthy rock stars. I cannot wait to jump right back in and curl up with another novella and get cozy once more with Shane from Vulnerable. I am sure that it will be just as entertaining and steamy as the rest of April Wilson’s books!
I wish I was a badass like Lia. Love her story.
Loved this book! Lia is more than just a bodyguard for Jonah and he needs her encouragement and protective instincts.
