He is bruised by betrayal …….. now what?
Bruised is the second book in the Hunt Brothers series by Timothy S. Allen and Jacob Allen. This series needs to be read in order – Flawed, Bruised, Corrupted, Dismantled and Crushed.
Bruised is the continuing story of Chance and Layla and starts where Flawed ended. Be warned that this book ends with a cliffhanger that will be continued with Corrupted. This book finds Chance not sure who to trust any longer as both his adopted father and the woman who was supposed to love him, Layla, have both betrayed him. He is now bruised on this twisted and dramatic story.
This book is well written and has an engaging and entertaining story. The characters are nicely developed, even if I did want to hit a couple of them. I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next, Corrupted to see what happens next!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
ARC’s given to me by Author through Booksprout. My review is given voluntarily.
I gave this storyline 4 stars.
So this story is something a little different than what I’m use to reading, not as romantic as your typically simple love story boy meets girl!
The storyline does spread throughout all 5 books starting with the 1st book Flawed, 2-Bruised, 3-Corrupted 4-Dismantled and finished with
5- Crushed ….wowza!!!
This is the order of reading them you really must read all 5 they tell the complete story of the Saga of the Hunt brothers
This was quite an adventure intense storytelling with family dynamics heartbreaking, unforgivable betrayals, corruptions galore, really raw emotionally I did cry a lot, steamy sex, Chance does tend to flip flop from one woman to the other (which I didn’t really like that much) the story as a whole might be a bit to long in my opinion I skimmed some sparts, but I have to be honest I did get hooked in story as a whole, and kinda binge read the books for hours.
Love, Forgiveness, Understanding, Family and Retribution does prevail in the end which I must say felt really, really good!
These books are cliffhangers, so you need to read all of them to get to the conclusion of the story. Each book is in-between 16-20 chapters. They each take you on a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, twists and turns.
Overall I did enjoy them!
This is the second book in the “Hunt Brothers” series. Let me say this right off the bat, they need to be read in order because this is a continuation of Chance and Layla’s story from book one. That being said, Chance has once again been made to suffer by being betrayed by not only his father but Layla as well. The emotional turmoil, the drama, the secrets and lies all combine to leave with a cliffhanger that will make you want to automatically go to book three, “Corrupted”. I’m definitely vested in this series now and can’t wait to see where Timothy S. Allen takes me next.
