This is book One in the series but it can be read as a complete standalone. It contains NO-CLIFFHANGERS, NO CHEATING, and has a HEA. It is a dark mafia/crime romance and contains subject matter not suitable for all readers.

I’m so mad at myself, I read this book to quickly but I couldn’t help myself this book was fantastic not one complaint. Damon was a Mafia boss hardened because of his childhood he thought he wasn’t capable of love until a little lady needed his protection from the men who killed her brother, you will start out not liking Damon at all but as the book goes on you fall in love with this man, I loved how much he wanted to keep Kiera safe and what he would do to make that happen, there road to a HEA is rocky but they do get there. I loved Candy she was so sweet to Kieria and Haley what a bi***, she got what she deserved. Big surprise from the dead, Xander has a tiny piece of a heart only to give to one person in the book. Can’t wait to read his book Keep Me.
An outstanding well written drama romance. This emotional and passionate romance had me on the edge of my seat with it suspense, amazing twists and turns, danger, lies, jealousy, anger, misunderstandings, secrets, that were dark and edgy. The characters were well developed with explosive sex that included some violent rough sex with anger, lies, deception, passion, and off the charts chemistry. Damon and Kira end on a HEA but it continues the crime family story of danger on a cliffhanger flowling towards everyones future with Xanders story next. I voluntarily reviewed this ARC
Carla’s Five Star Review.
This is the second book in the A Broken Heroes Novel, and it is Damon’s story.
Damon is a ruthless leader, and he doesn’t apologize for being the way he is. Poor Keira has just found her brother dead in his apartment. She is scared out of her mind, but does remember a man’s name-Damon Rossi. Her brother told her if anything happened to him that she was to find Damon because he could keep her safe. When she finally meets Damon, he scares her to death. He is a tough man who exudes power, but she decides to listen to her brother and cling to Damon hoping he will protect her.
It doesn’t take long for secrets to be exposed and lines to be crossed. The one thing that proves to be true is the protection that Damon offers her. She is left with only one question-who is going to protect her heart from Damon?
I loved this book so much! I love Damon. He is a hard man, but he has a heart underneath all that stone. And Keria? She is just who Damon needs. Once these two get together, it is obvious that they were made for one another.
Another awesome story! I can’t wait for Xander’s story!
I got so involved from the first chapter and could not put this book down until I finished it. I loved the characters and their relationship and add a little danger to the mix and you have me hooked. I highly recommend this one because it was excellent.
What amazing read that will show you the dark of him and the light of her. This book will show the second part of this series. Amazing read that will blow you away.
This is book two in this series. It can totally be read as a standalone. Book one was good but I thought this one was even better. It was darker, grittier and more intense. Damon and Keira are opposites. Both have complicated lives and they are complex characters. Damon is not a good guy but I liked the softer side that Keira brought out in him. Keira was sympathetic and I liked the emotional turmoil she suffered through over the feelings that Damon brought out in her. I could have done without the OW scene but this just seems to be an ongoing trend that seems to pop up in book after book, from author after author. I’m not a fan of it but what can you do? If you enjoy a dark, edgy, emotional and passionate romance, you do not want to miss this book.
Protect Me was a fantastic book! This is the second book in the Broken Heroes series and tells Damon and Keira’s story. I loved this book and the characters! It was intense and unpredictable. I did not want to put this book down and it held my interest throughout. I would highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from Cassandra Hallman and J.L. Beck in the future!
Protect Me by Cassandra Hallman , JL Beck
I thought book one was great but book two was outstanding! Nail biting suspense filled, edge of your seat till the very last page.

Damon agrees to protect her but at what cost? She realizes that there is more to him than meets the eye. This story is powerful,intense, dark and dirty with just enough caring and loving mixed in.

Hold on because these two writers take you on quite the ride in this book. Keria loses the only person in her life. She doesn’t know how to deal with that. She goes to the one person that she was told to go to Damon. But Damon is not the person she believes him to be. Her life is in danger will he be able to keep her safe? What exactly will happen between Keria and Damon? I loved this one. Intense gripping shocking. So well written. These two together are absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to read the next one.
Wow!!! This is a great second story in this series.
The story picks up just before the last one ended and you are pulled in from the very first page. You get to see the true Damon Rossi and then some. What does his protection cost? Leo had no idea he was sending his sister to the devil himself, but does she care?
Kiera is a college girl that has to grow up really quick once Leo is out of the picture. But will she adjust and like the world she is thrust into or will she parish?
This story is full of so many twists and turns, drama, romance, lust, love, suspense, tragedy and I can’t wait for the next in the series to see what happens. The chemistry between Kiera and Damon is off the charts as well as the character development. I can hardly stand the wait, but it will be worth it. I received an ARC of this book from the author.
Damon is a criminal. Cold, selfish, and used to having his way. He knows that getting close to someone will be a way to let your enemies in. However, Keira quickly slides into his heart. She is on the run from some bad guys who killed her brother. He had given her an address to run to if anything happened to him. When she gets to Damon’s strip club, she is terrified. He is not very nice to her in the beginning. She fights him at all turns. He wants to control her. She wants to run. Can her save her from the enemy? A story of insta love, danger and twists and turns. Excited to hear there is another story coming.

I received this book as an ARC and I went in kind of blind, not knowing much of anything about the series, but the blurb caught my attention. I was not at all disappointed. I liked this book so much in fact, that I’m going to get the one preceding it and I’m really looking forward to Xander’s story in the next book.
This is the story of Damon and Keira. Damon is a mafia boss and Keria is an innocent who is thrown into his life. Keria’s brother worked for Damon, who promised him he would protect her if anything ever happened to him. Keira’s brother is murdered, she is threatened and seeks the aid of Damon. And the story evolves from there.
Will Damon protect her? Should she trust this mafia boss with her life? Is she safe with Damon at all? Find out by reading this book. You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended.
WOW! This is the second book in the series and i couldn’t put it down! From the way Keira and Damon’s story starts until the book ends… just wow! I wasn’t expecting the ending, and I can’t wait to read what happens next!!

What an outstanding story. This is the second one in the series and boy is it good. This one starts towards the end of the first one. Yes, you can read it without reading the first one but boy does it make it even better to read the first one then this one. This one has so many twists and turns and the suspense and drama that comes along with it. This has you on the edge of your seat and I just couldn’t put down till I reached the end. I just had to know what happened and how it ends. This is just amazing and addictive. This is defiantly worth reading and doesn’t disappoint. The characters are extremely well developed and I loved Damon and his attitude. He has this attitude that is just perfect for this book. I voluntarily review an advanced reader copy of this book.
I received this book for an honest review. What a thrilling story that will have your heart racing and on edge from beginning to end. This dark romance between Keira a young woman who is on the run to find the one man who has to protect her from her brother’s murder. Damon Rossi is the devil himself and when he meets Keira his world is turn upside down as he makes good on his promise to her brother. The chemistry and passion between these two is instantaneous and he now has to protect her from his brother who planned everything to get Damon back into the family. Things are not what they seem and danger now surrounds the Rossi brothers, who will survive the coming battle. Can’t wait for the next book in this series. Well done J.L. Beck and Cassandra Hallman, this was an amazing story! I highly recommend this book.
Wow, what a ride!!!
This book was absolutely intense and exciting. Keira is shocked to find her brother dead in her apartment. There’s a note waiting for her telling her that whoever did this will be back for her. Her brother did tell her if something like this ever happened to go to a man named Damon Rossi and he would protect her. Well when she finally meets Damon she can’t believe her brother sent her to the devil himself. Damon has no time to offer free protection to some chick from the bad guys that are after her, he figures he can get something out of her for his trouble. Grab this intensely exciting book and find out what happens between these two. I’m looking forward to the next book called Keep Me to get Xander’s (Damon’s brother) story as well!!
