Some scars run deeper than healed wounds on the body. Memories can be a tricky thing; they can be special or traumatic, especially when you have no control over the trigger. When they hit, they can hit hard.When Chopper ends up in the ER, the memories start and the only thing that soothes his pain is a woman from his past that holds special meaning. Ivy fights for her patients, but when her … when her teenage crush lands in her ER she is forced to handle her scalpel in a whole different way.
Life is a constant struggle and it can be difficult to realize that one tiny moment in time can be just the change you need. Nothing is more difficult than fighting an inner battle, one that has branded scars into pieces of your soul. Will Chopper allow Ivy into his fight? Or will he continue to face his battles alone?

OMG! This was such an emotional read of Chopper and his woman Ivy’s journey to their happily ever after but Esther E.Schmidt did an amazing job on their story <3 I loved every single moment of reading this short novella <3
Just saying that this author did such an amazing job writing about PTSD with Chopper, how he dealt with it like so many may do, how it affected not only his life but those around him, including Ivy's. I also loved Ivy's character so much too! She waited for him and was strong when he finally needed his eyes opened to what's happening and the possibility that he needs help if not, he would lose her; it was the kick in the rear that he needed to get into gear and get help. Loved the epilogue and I have no doubt that the next book will be just as awesome as before and I can't wait!
When I first started reading the Broken Deeds MC series I just knew in my heart that Chopper’s story was going to special. I must say that Ms. Schmidt did not disappoint me. This storyline is fast paced exciting, funny and sexy with an important issue as a backstory.
Chopper suffers from guilt and PTSD. He’s seen a lot, been through a lot, suffered severe injury and lost a close friend during his time as a Seal. Now he’s a part of the MC with several of his seal brothers. They are his lifeline, his brothers that keep him as sane as he can be. But he still struggles everyday. When he re-injures his leg and is taken to the hospital, a place that brings back terrible memories for him, Chopper is reconnected with Ivy. Ivy is the sister to the lost brother that causes a lot of Choppers guilt and anguish. Ivy is now a doctor, a strong woman and takes no crap from anyone. Especially Chopper, a guy who she has secretly lusted after for years (even though she hasn’t seen him since her brother died 10 years ago).
In a rash moment to protect her, Chopper claims Ivy. An action he didn’t think through, considering his emotional state, what could he possibly offer her. But could Ivy be the answer? Could this headstrong, independent woman who gives as good as she gets be just the spark that Chopper needs to get through his personal traumas? SIMPLY AN AMAZING BOOK, one you just wish didn’t end. 2 Thumbs up for this 5 star book in a 5 star series, all of which in my humble opinion are Must Reads.
Chopper by Esther E Schmidt. This story is based around a relationship with an ex military man, Chopper. Since I had been waiting for his story I bought it first as part of the Help Our Heroes Anthology, I wasn’t let down either. He made me chuckle with his badass-ness, he was stubborn at times, determined his way was the right way, but I’m glad he met his match. Great book and one I will be glad to have as part of my collection. It is interesting as it deals with PTSD and how it affects Chopper in his day to day life. Although I had already bought this as part of the anthology I have also bought it as the single book to go with the rest of this series, for me it is worth it as I love these characters and it just wouldn’t be right to have one missing.
Damn, this author makes me cry every time! Each story becoming my favourite and this one took my heart and squeezed tight.
Chopper, feels he is undeserving of all that an Ol Lady brings, his PTSD leaves him bathed in nightmares, memories and guilt but Ivy sees past that. She steps right up to defend him the moment they meet in the ER. When they realise who the other is, Chopper claims her without hesitation, even whilst cursing himself.
This is not sunshine and roses but it’s still beautiful, heartbreakingly beautiful and gave me the major FEELS.
CHOPPER & IVY…A HOT SECOND CHANCE
So..Chopper, who we all know (or we all should know)is the “tech geek” for Broken Deeds MC (although calling a biker a geek doesn’t compute), and after an accident, he is in the ER to be treated, and he’s close to a bad PTSD induced panic attack…..hospitals are a trigger for him…When the no-nonsense doctor comes in, a Chopper sees a blast from his past…
Ivy is a doctor who has known Chopper most of her life and has always had a crush on him…so she’s got mixed feelings about seeing him, but she’s determined to treat him herself…and, truthfully, she’s been saving herself for him…so, it’s just a matter of time….
And when Lochlan puts Chopper on the spot about Ivy, Chopper claims her as his ol’ lady….he just has to convince her she belongs with him when he doesn’t do relationships or want an ol’lady….until he does…
I loved this book…I’m moving on to LOCHLAN, because I can’t not…
Short but sweet. Another great story. Keep ’em coming, please!
Great to see Chopper get his HEA w/ Ivy! 🙂 This story was a little… choppy… though. I’m not sure exactly why or how to explain it, but there ya go! Still, I enjoyed both characters & also getting to see more of Lochlan! : )
I liked this book, it was short but oh so sweet. I liked the way Chopper was both strong and slighly broken and I loved the was Ivy helped heal him a bit. I will say, I did not care for her at the beginning, but she quickly grew on me. I also felt that though this was a great story for Chopper, I was a bit let down by him. I have loved him in the other books in this series, but in this one he did seem to have the power over me he did before. Maybe that was just me getting to know him better and not knowing him based on his interactions with his brothers?! Don’t know, but this was a great addition to this series.
Loved this series as well, love all the characters!!
OMG Who’d have thought Chopper had a heart?!
All the way though the series he comes across a bit of a jerk but my oh my do I love him now. Ivy definitely brings out the best in him .
Esther has done it again and delivered a short and brilliant story that’s mixed with the perfect blend of humour and passion mixed in with some heartbreak and healing. I loved every word and devoured it in my lunchbreak unable to put it down.
I loved Ivy she was sassy, strong, and the perfect match for Chopper. She is the soft to his grumpy hardness. She brings him back to life and gives him the chance of happiness. She calms his storm.
I love this series and can’t wait to see what Esther brings us next
This is an amazing story about acceptance. Wether it be you accepting someone as now they are, or you putting yourself out there to be accepted. This is a story about love and letting the love of your life loving you even if you aren’t perfect.
Why did this grumpy man have to come into Ivy’s ER? Yes he was her twin’s friend, why can’t he leave me alone?
Out of all the ER’s that his brothers could have brought him to they have to bring me to her’s. Her brother was one of his closest friends.
This is a story about not letting your past keep it’s claws in you, but letting your gruard down and maybe the best part of your life in.
Man did I love Chopper and Ivy’s story. My heart broke for the guilt that Chopper carries and the demons he is fighting. He wants Ivy but the demons are keeping him from claiming her and finding happiness in his life. He is a grouchy, haunted man and it is going to take a strong woman in order to handle Chopper. Ivy is just what Chopper needs feisty, independent, loyal, yet sweet. She has crushed on him since she was younger and she finally has a chance but will she be able to help him battle his demons?
Esther has once again delivered another must read. Thins book is a quick read that you will absolutely fall in love with and be devouring every page. Although quick you will not feel like the story is lacking in any way.
