Carter Phillips has returned from multiple deployments, and he’s brought a few demons home with him. War has left him scarred, inside and out, and he’s counting on the peace and isolation of his family’s farm to keep his head screwed on straight. What he doesn’t bargain for is Amy Williams, the new horse trainer. She’s kinder than he deserves, tougher than he expects, with a hidden core of … vulnerability that triggers his need to possess and protect her.
Amy has finally pieced her life back together, after being forced to give up everything and assume a new identity. Now she’s safe, no longer the target of accusations and death threats—but she’s also alone. The only danger to her secrets and her celibacy is Carter Phillips, smoking-hot former Marine—and her boss’s brother. With each passing day, she finds it harder to lie to him about who she is—and who she wants.
Neither of them wants to talk about the past, but the more time they spend together, the closer they become. When the truth comes out, will it set them free or tear them apart forever?
A sizzling standalone romance
Each book of the Southern Alphas Series follows a different couple.

I loved the story and the characters. And the world. A lot of things going on and no one is quite who you expect. It’s a wonderful story of love, healing, and finding home. The horses make it complete.
One of the best books that I have read.I could not put it down
Was a good read. A lot of action.
This was a lovely book. It had an interesting underlying story that unfolded as you progressed through the book.
Oh my goodness. I couldn’t put this book down . I was totally addicted to the chemistry between Amy and Carter.
I love his protective nature and also his sweetness. Thank for a great read. Am now onto the next one in the series x x

Loved It
Carter is home for good, after serving 6 years and this last bad injury got him a honorable discharge. Amy is the new trainer working for Kayla. They meet when he hears noises in the back room, he gets sprayed with hair spray. But something clicks with them.
Mystery and romance, nothing better.
Very good read!!
Fractured is an awesome romantic suspense by Lori Sjoberg. Ms. Sjoberg has provided readers with a well-written book. The characters in this book are phenomenal, but a tiny bit angsty. Thankfully the angst doesn’t take over the story. Carter returns to the family farm after an injury gets him discharged from the military. Amy has changed her name and found a job that she enjoys but is prepared to run to keep her boss and coworkers safe. Any and Carter’s story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from Lori Sjoberg in the future. Fractured is book 2 of the Southern Alphas Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
Great book I highly recommend it. Loved the characters. You’ll enjoy reading this book.
An enjoyable read with down to earth and friendly characters. Some steam. Some action and a feel for life on a horse farm.
I really identified with these characters even though they weren’t like me. It means they were well-developed and the plot had interesting turns. The romance took a back seat to the adventure, which was refreshing.
A great story
The characters were so great and the chemistry between the two main characters was scorching hot.
There are many twists and turns and lots of danger and intrigue.
The story is well written and very enjoyable.
Good story with well developed characters. An enjoyable read with realistic situations. Really enjoyed the the backdrop of the horse farm.
Enjoyable…
