such an awesome book. Ryan and Ruby got together. Ryan found out that Dalphan wasn’t not his biological mother and that Wendy was his biological mother. After Ryan had talked to Joe and Talon about how that Wendy is his real mother. Ruby and Ryan went to meet with Wendy. That is when Ruby found that her dad, has a hand in human trafficking. She had that was going to her fate when she was younger. Then while they were in Jamaica, three young girls were taken and one got away. When Ruby reached out to her, she was acting weird. Then her dad calls. While Ryan is out on his ride in his car he gets a call from his dad.. can’t wait to see what happens next.
Shattered (Steel Brothers Saga, #7) was a great read by Helen Hardt. Ryan is the youngest Steel brother with the most jovial personality. He is now finished with the busiest part of winemaking season. Talon and Jonah take the family to Jamaica for their wedding. Detective Ruby went with them as Melanie’s guest. Ruby and Ryan have an attraction that they can’t fight. I loved reading Ryan and Ruby’s story and can’t wait to read more by Helen Hardt.
Ryan’s and Ruby’s story took me for an even wilder ride! Just when I thought I was beginning to get a handle on the myriad of twists and turns, something else popped up!
And the hotness of this book melted my Kindle!
Please can’t we have free aproach to the last 2 books
Must read series
This whole series is absolutely AMAZING!
LOVED the entire series! Would recommend over & over!
Ruby and Ryan are two souls finding one another amid the ever complex mystery that surrounds the Steels. Ruby has been haunted by the disturbing life her father has lived. While it should have been more of a shock, she was a first hand witness to the evil within him. Now she is determined to find this monster and make him pay for all his sins tenfold. Ryan has been remiss in the Steel search for answers, but no more. After his brothers’ weddings, a vacation everyone much needs, he is going to work hard to help them uncover the still ever elusive pieces to this puzzle. But first some play with the delectable detective Ruby Lee sounds like just the ticket. Her beguiling innocence and unwavering strength call to Ryan. So many secrets still yet to be uncovered, so Ryan just may need some of Ruby’s perseverance to keep from falling apart.
Well, I need to talk about author, Helen Hardt. She has just blown my mind! I received “Craving” for free and it was fantastic, so I bought the remaining 8 books in the Steele Brothers Series. Then, I bought all 9 audiobooks because I love to listen to the voices. The narrators were perfect! The storyline was amazing; not what I was expecting at all. I love how a male narrator and female narrator took turns, back and forth. Each book tells part of the overall story, and it will keep you reading/listening till the end. No laggy parts. I highly recommend this brilliant series!
I loved this entire series. Read every book…loved them all.
OK, I have to start with….the end of this book, the last sentence, gave me chills! The swirling web of lies, deceit and malevolence surrounding the Steels is so complex ans convoluted it’s mesmerizing and enthralling.
Ryan and Ruby are so well matched and hot together. She’s everything he never knew he needed and the same is true for her. They forge a relationship during his brothers’ wedding festivities. An event occurs while they arev n Jamaica that really reinforces her theories about her father and his partner’s real crimes. The scope of which are mind boggling. Meanwhile Ryan is determined to become more actively involved in the search for information about The Lawmakers and their connection to his family. When a truth is revealed it shatters Ryan. He may not recover from this devastating blow.
Helen Hardt pulled out all the stops on this one! Make no mistake there is a cliffhanger and it’s heart pounding!
Sexy erotic amazing characters. I’m just in love with this series.
Shattered is the Seventh Book in the Steel Brothers Series. I’ve never read anything by Helen Hardt before but have heard good things so I started this series off all wrong by picking up book 7. If I had started with book 1 I may have kept up but because I didn’t I was totally lost and with that being said…
This Series has to be read in numerical order. These books contain lots of angst and a cliff hanger! Book 7 had no HEA and we are left with a bunch of questions. Shattered has a dark story line and is meant for audiences of 18 or older. It is also a Romantic Suspense with some Erotica thrown in.
Love the whole series…read the first 5 books within 2 weeks!
This is when Ryan Steel is effected. I really can’t wait to the next book come out. First the news about his biological mom, now he gets a call from his dad. WHAT is really going on?
I seriously need a new rating system for Helen Hardt’s books!!! 5 stars are nowhere near what she deserves.
I have read all of the books in this series and even though Helen is on book 7, she once again doesn’t disappoint with giving a phenomenal story. Like the rest, I devoured this book in a short amount of time, I just couldn’t stop reading it.
Shattered is the 7th book in the Steel Brother Series but it is book 1 of Ryan’s story. So although you could possibly jump in at this book I HIGHLY recommend reading all 7 of them. You will have not only a better understanding of the characters but also how they have gotten this far.
Hardt like all the others continues to give us the mystery and suspense that surrounds the Steel brothers. The plot thickens in Shattered and although we do get some answers, Helen Hardt will have you falling out of your chair when you read the last few sentences of this book. (At least I did)
Helen Hardt’s writing is captivating and her twists just keep getting better and better each book. I can’t wait to see how every thing unfolds in the remaining books.
I read the ARC of this book and OMG!!!! It may be the best one yet in this series. I cant wait fo rthe next book to come out to find out more to this story!!!
