Hold on to your seat and your heart as this second-chance romance reveals itself to be so much more! There are secrets, danger, beautiful villains, a beastly hero and a brave heroine. Leo and Clarissa have been through so much you hope they get a happily after after but will they?
“No Broken Beast” is well written with interesting, multi-layered characters. I read it over a few days. There are plenty of twists and turns as the plot unfolds. Told in alternating first person it has witty dialogue with moments of wry humor. It is wonderfully descriptive and emotional – at times achingly raw and sensual. There is a palpable yearning between the main characters that pulled me in and had me holding my breath. I like Leo’s primal strength and dedication. Only Clarissa can bring out his vulnerable side. She is fiercely protective and loyal. This is an unexpectedly beautiful love story that transcends appearances and time. I loved this emotional, dramatic journey!

When Clarissa returns to town, after her sister is kidnapped, she depends on Leo to help her find Deanna. However, they are both keeping secrets from each other. Hopefully they will find their happily ever after.

I’ll bleed, I’ll die, but most of all, I’ll live for this woman.
This is the third story set in the Heart’s Edge town. We’ve heard about the monster in the woods named Nine, but he’s really Leo, who we met in the previous book, No Good Doctor. While you could probably read this book as a standalone, you’ll feel like you’re missing out in terms of the plot arc. This book is long and yet the pages flew past. There’s something about a sleepy town harbouring evil, and these multiple complex characters that just add so much to this series. Leo is so devoted to Rissa, and has been for the last eight years, even though they haven’t kept in touch. Rissa would have never returned to Heart’s Edge if her sister hadn’t gone missing. The love story of Leo and Rissa is epic, both past and present. The circumstances of their split was a devastating, confusing mess. There was lots of tension in this, both between the characters and within the plot. I loved all of it, from start to finish. The group’s fight against evil will continue, with Blake’s story next.

I really battled to get into this story, there is a back story that I don’t know. I enjoyed the action and drama, Clarissa returns to her hometown with her young son when her sister goes missing. Leo aka Nine hasn’t seen Rissa since she left town all those years ago and now she’s back and in danger and so is his son. Can Leo save them and her sister? Can they have a HEA?.
If you have been following the Heart’s Edge series, you would have been introduced to the elusive Nine. Even though this is a stand alone, you will want to read the previous books in order to get insight into all the characters and the significance of Galentron. Told in dual POV, this story has sizzling romance, nail biting suspense, a dash of sci-fi, heart wrenching angst and a HEA. Loved Leo aka Nine, a physically and emotionally damaged beast of a man who has a gentle heart. I had a difficult time liking Clarissa as I found her too timid. Even though she is considered a villain, I was actually liking Fuschia. One small editing detail – although the author has backed off on her use of italics, I would still like to see less. A great addition to the series.

Sweeter Things in Heart’s Edge
Clarissa Bell is only back in Heart’s Edge because her sister Deanna has been napped. She’s accompanied by her seven year old son, Zach.
Nine or Leo, was part of the Nighthawk program, a Galentron merc. He and Rissa share a past. He did a stint in prison and now he’s gone a bit feral, living off the grid and watching over the town and it’s myriad of secrets.
The strings that bind them are legion.
Now, all the secrets are out as they race to find her sister and maybe, just maybe a chance to be a family.
Highly recommend because it’s just so dang good. Fast paced, smart, all the feels.

Hearts Edge was filled with creepy but hidden conspiracy and filled with an overshadowing of atmosphere of evil. Clarissa returned after eight long years to find her baby sister missing and their jointly owned candy store shattered and broken. Even the simple actions of the local police seemed shady and odd as the investigation moved at a snails pace with very little urgency in finding her missing sister.
The overlying mystery slowly unfolded as the story switched back and forth in time with dual POVs from Clarissa and Leo. This tragically fated couple finally had their second chance as Clarissa was determined to face her past demons.
The storyline quickly turned into a history of corruption and illegal scientific experiments that stemmed from Clarissa’s father and the evil men in control. Full of dark suspense and intense mind games as this strong couple fight their way into freeing their town.
Very Entertaining read!

I been wanting Nine’s story and what an exciting story it was. Filled with danger, suspense, mystery and a second chance at love an entertaining read from start to finish. Leo and Clarissa journey wasn’t easy but it was filled with heat. I enjoyed the whole gang getting together and helping each other. If you’ve read the previous story than this is a must read for you.
In the small town of Heart’s Edge there is a monster living in the hills. The Legend, the Outcast, Fugitive and Myth, NINE. What the town really doesn’t know is that Nine is protecting the town and everyone in it from a nasty company called Galentron. He watches from the shadows, keeping them safe even though they blame him for a tragic fire that happened 8 yrs ago. Secrets and misconceptions surround Leo (Nine) as he comes to terms about his old flame being back in town. Clarissa has come home since her sister is missing and she has her young son with her. A son with violet eyes that look black until the light hits them, just like his father, Leo. She doesn’t know how to tell him, yet. She doesn’t know what their relationship is going to be like and she has to protect her son and herself. This story, “No Broken Beast”, answers all of our questions and explains the truth of Leo and Clarissa’s awful childhoods. Or lack thereof, in Leo’s case. We learn about how their relationship came to be, his time with the Nighthawks/Galentron, and what ultimately tore them apart years ago.
Every word will keep you on the edge of your seat. A love story, through and through, that will keep you turning the pages as you absorb every word. Passion. Suspense. A Hero and Love. Don’t miss this story by Nicole Snow. 5*****
** I did receive a ARC from the author and while this never guarantee’s a positive review, this is my Honest review.” **
Leo (Nine) and Clarissa”s story is the best of the Heart’s Edge books, and I’ve loved them all! Their story spans a number of years, is super intense, heartbreaking to heartwarming. You run the gamut of emotions throughout this book. The characters are well developed, the chemistry is smoking’ hot, and the book is rally well paced. Fantastic read!
I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Oh my goodness the emotions you go through while reading this story! It is a story that draws you in and doesn’t let go. I couldn’t put it down until I found out what happened. It is action packed, suspense driven, drama playing, with an emotional roller coaster all in one. The characters are beautifully developed that you will fall in love with each and every one. We get to see some of the characters from the stories and it was good to see them again. We learn so much about our favorite town and group of friends. It is extremely well written and the flow of the story is superb. While reading it I became addicted like it was an aphrodisiac for my soul. You laugh at times, get angry and sad, you will cry and cheer at the good and bad times. This is one heck of a story and is a must read.
Nicole Snow has written another great book in this series! I love the characters, the intense story, and heart warming romance. Seeing previous characters from the series adds to it, but this can definitely be read as a standalone. I couldn’t wait for Nine’s story and it didn’t disappoint! He and Clarissa had to wait years to get their HEA. What surprises me is that I now want to see the evil Fuchsia Delaney get a HEA!?! How’d Nicole pull THAT off!?!? A great read!!
I have been waiting for Nine’s full story and Nicole did not disappoint!
Leo (AKA Nine) was a soldier who fell in love with Clarissa and tragedy tore them apart. Years later, Clarissa is back in Heart’s Edge. This book is truly amazing!!! A scorned, overprotective beast of a man who gets a second chance with his true love and finds out he’s a father. The suspense is thrilling and there is a roller coaster of emotions going on. I just don’t have the words to sum up how good this book really is!!!
Welcome back to Heart’s Edge, the small town with a big secret. No Broken Beast by Nicole Snow finishes off the Heart’s Edge trilogy and does NOT disappoint. With some familiar characters and the introduction of a few new ones this story is action packed and steamy to boot! Nicole Snow has an incredible gift of storytelling by filling in the back story with flash backs that are just as gripping as the present-day story. This stand-alone read is a great second chance romance that will leave you wanting more and more books by Nicole Snow. 5-constallations for No Broken Beast.
Clarissa Bell left Heart’s Edge eight years ago with lots of secrets and the determination that she would never return. Now Clarissa’s sister Deanna is missing, and Clarissa has no choice but to return home and try and find out what happened. Leo (Nine) Regis let the woman he loved leave and he quickly became known as the Monster of Heart’s Ridge. Part legend and part myth only a few people know Leo for the man he was and the man he has become. Clarissa’s sister needs his help and if it will help keep Clarissa and her son safe than he will do everything he can to protect them and get Deanna back. Leo and Clarissa never stopped loving each other, and she knows he’s No Broken Beast, even if he thinks he is. It’s up to her to help Leo find the man underneath the rumors and to find her sister, hopefully still alive.
Get ready for an explosive, wild ride the likes of which you’ve been waiting soo long for from Nicole Snow. I love this author! And I freaking loved this book!

This is our latest foray into the little town of Hearts Edge and we are with Leo/Nine and Clarissa. The entire chaotic, mysterious, twisted story of Galentron boils down to this book. There is no stone left unturned in this fabulously written romantic suspense. The romance between these two is breathtakingly beautiful. Their love making is more intimate than normal. Their thoughts are so erotically poetic that it takes your breath away.
This story is full of the best of friends, family, intense, bite-your-nails action, revenge and a romance that’s been a long time coming. BRAVO! I do believe there are others in this magnificent group of friends that still need their stories told, so we will definitely be back!
Primal. Intense. High octane heat and suspense all wrapped up in a hearts on the line love story that won’t be complete until the madness in Hearts Edge truly ends.
For the love of all things fictional! Clarissa and Nine’s ( Aka Leo ) painfully dark past, combined with the present- a mind-blowing journey I wasn’t sure I wanted to end!
Talk about keeping me on the edge of… sanity- the rollercoaster of emotions, eye-opening revelations, and magnetic chemistry swirled around in my mind. All my favorite characters back to do their part, while others start to grow on me.
A perfect addition to the Hearts Edge reads, this book can be read as a standalone, but if you have not read the others, I highly suggest jumping on those right away! They are worth it!
Ms. Snow outdid herself with ‘No Broken Beast’- I look forward to reading where she goes from here!
Title: No Broken Beast
Author: Nicole Snow
Genre: Contemporary Dramatic Romance
**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
Wow Leo isn’t Doc Gray the vet but let me just say I went from wanting a wolf to wanting the King of Beasts. That man was beyond yummy.
We finally got Nine’s story and he got his HEA. I really hope Blake gets a story. He seems like the lost kicked dog but he is such a good guy.
I really loved the flashbacks that Leo and Clarissa had because it added so much to the story. It gave greater detail and depth to the story. Yet, that was also a problem every now and then. A lot of the time the flashbacks added a little drama because the story was slow in the action department. This naturally made me sigh in frustration as a reader.
The author is a master at character development and is able to draw you back in with such wonderful characters when you feel yourself slipping away from the story. And vice versa. If a character starts to ebb and lacks something the author makes up for it with story development.
By the final sentence I was wondering what comes next in the world of Hearts Edge and the characters who haven’t had books yet. That tells you this author has skills and talent. So give this series a read, 4/5 ****.
This story is freaking fantastic! Nicole Snow rocks the telling of this dramatic romance between Clarissa and Leo (Nine). Nine has been the background of the entire series and though you can read this as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the other books in the series. Leo and Clarissa are reunited after 8 years apart. Leo has been known as the monster, but he holds the key to Maoist of the secrets in Hearts Edge. Clarissa is back to rescue her sister and also has to reveal her secret to Leo and the town. All the secrets will have to come to light in order to save Leo and the town.
The story is dramatic and takes many turns towards the end. The characters are intense and wonderful. Zach is a great addition that lights up the pages. The author grabs your attention from the first page and never loses that intensity that makes you want to forget everything else and just keep reading. This was definitely my favorite of the series because of all the redemptive qualities of Leo and Clarissa.
