Picture-perfect Phoebe Powell is anything but. Her ex-fiancé’s betrayal four years ago left her broken inside and now love has no place in her hardened heart. Her greatest burden is a secret that haunts her and keeps men at arm’s length. But in spite of that, Phoebe relishes her work—and she’s damn good at her job. As Reporter of the Year her focus is on her career. Phoebe will do anything to get … get the promotion that’s waiting in the wings, even if it means putting her life at risk.
Dylan Marshall, former Navy SEAL turned special-ops agent, has had his eye on Phoebe Powell for the last year. She’s sexy, confident, and all-around feisty. His kind of woman. But she’s off-limits. They’re just friends. Dylan isn’t afraid to test boundaries, but this is one line he will not cross. That is, until Phoebe’s life is threatened. Now he’ll do anything to keep her safe, even as their connection draws them closer and their attraction becomes more difficult to deny.
Maybe just one kiss…
Can Dylan scale the walls around her heart and chase Phoebe’s demons away, including the imminent threat closing in on her?
Is Phoebe’s deeply kept secret too disturbing to ever move on from, let alone share it with Dylan?

OMG how have I never heard how fantastic Michelle’s books are before?!?! I read a few excerpts of her books and decided to sign up for an ARC and I am totally gobsmacked with how awesome this book is! This book gets ALL THE FLIPPING STARS!!
This book starts out with Dylan and Phoebe being somewhat friends and they start to “see” each other in a new light at their best friend’s wedding. They both have had a rough past where relationships are concerned and Phoebe really wants nothing to do with any form of love, commitment or matters of the heart. She’s strong, independent, feisty, beautiful and loves her job. She only wants to focus on an upcoming promotion at her news station, even when the past haunts her every day.
Dylan is an ex-SEAL working at his best friend’s security firm. He has his charming smile, gorgeous looks, hot body and confident but cocky attitude yet he knows deep down there’s something missing in his life.
These two collide when Phoebe accidentally gets herself in hot water and Dylan has to whisk her away to his hometown to keep her safe. Things only escalate more as they start to realize the depth of their connection and emotions for one another. After a harrowing brush with death these two finally get their HEA in the most perfect way imaginable and I only wish Dylan was my schmoops! I am now a total Michelle Fernandez fanatic and can not wait to read more of her work!
This book got me in the feels from the beginning. Dylan and Phoebe were made fro each other. Both needed to move past the hurt they both held onto from their pasts in order to see the love in front of them. Their attraction sizzled and their chemistry was palpable. Dylan protectiveness of Phoebe was fabulous to read. Someone finally putting her first was just everything Phoebe needed in her life. There were twists and turns and drama galore which only made the story that much better. I loved every word and hated to see it end! Fabulous book I can not wait to read the next book in the series!

The storyline was well written and the characters were so well defined that I was totally glued to my kindle as each and every page was turned until the very end!
So much excitment, suspense, intrigue. It has a little of everything and kept me enraptured the entire story line. Now I can’t wait to read Ryland’s story.

3.5 Stars
This book is a great follow up from the first in the series. The characters are great as is the plot. The flow was pretty good. There were some grammatical errors, but not enough to not enjoy the book. Looking forward to more from this author.

Till I Kissed You, the second in the Broken Heroes series features Pheobe and Dylan, both of whom are first seen in Till I Found you but as secondary characters. Here they get their chance on stage and for their HEA. Pheobe is one of the three best friends from the first book and an investigative reporter. She is all about her career and casual dating, not believing in love. Dylan works at the security firm with Julian (Book 1) and Pheobe is on his radar. When Pheobe’s ex sets her on a path that leads her into danger, Dylan takes up the reins of keeping her safe.
A nicely paced romance that while the focus is on the couple and their building relationship, a good amount of story revolves around the suspense of who is after Pheobe giving the story a good flow. The chemistry between the leads is solid with a nice touch of steam. Pheobe’s character is a no-nonsense woman who needs a nudge in the romance department to give her life that it is missing. Dylan is the alpha protector with a sensitive heart.
If you are looking to lose yourself in a no angst, sweet yet sexy with a touch of danger romance, Till I kissed You is a good choice.
4*
Phoebe doesn’t believe in marriage after her parents divorce, her mother having married plenty of times since. Her career is her main focus and the promotion she wants.
Dylan has admired phoebe from afar but its his best friend Julian’s wedding that puts the two together.
A blast from her past puts her in danger but trusting Dylan feels right
Phoebe and Dylan knew each other but something changed the night of their friends wedding. The attraction between them could not be ignored but can they take the chance on their friendship should things not work out. Then someone from Phoebe’s past reappeared in her life and not long after that she dissappeared. She ended up on Dylan’s doorstep, the person she trusts and feels safe with. Dylan knew that he could not let her go but can she allow herself to believe in love again?
