by Judith James
I think Judith James writes with a very distinctive style, which makes her stories very interesting for me. It can be a little trying to follow though. I find it interesting all the same. Whether I love it, I cannot say. But it certainly makes interesting reads. Broken Wing has a man whore for a her...
The first half is an awesome, poignant, heart-wrenching romance between a man abused since childhood and a strong, independent heroine who's willing to look beneath the surface and discover his heart of gold. While I adored this part, as soon as they discovered they were in love and he decided to le...
Fantastic story! Not perfectly executed, but the character and adventures (or misadventures, for the most part) of the hero Gabriel overcome any quibbles about the less-perfect aspects of the book.

My review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book...This debut book by Judith James is by no means formulaic. I’ve read many of those in my long years of Romance reading and while I loved some of them to bits, others bored me to death. I totally appreciated the story...

James seemed to have a problem being comfortable enough with the themes in her book to place them within a good story.Her hero has a very dark past of sexual slavery that has caused him to have a lot of emotional problems. To make him likable (?) James gives him a selfless nature and a debilitating...
Judith James weaves a dark and compelling spell in Broken Wing, the story of a seemingly irredeemable man, a former male prostitute raised in a Parisian brothel, who through self-sacrifice for another is able to escape his life and find his soul.Although this did feel like two books in one, I loved ...
Not bad, just not as good as I thought it would be. Although Gabriel St. Croix's life broke my heart, the whole male prostitute thing is a real ick factor for me.
I was asked to join the Broken Wing Challenge at Orannia's playground and decided to accept. The challenge was easy, read "Broken Wing" and then write a review. At least, it was supposed to be easy... I find I don't know how to review this book. I will begin with:Gabriel St. Croix is a broken and...
