Review:

"Damaged and the Knight" by Bijou Hunter was the second in this series 'Damaged' and continues from 'Damaged and the Knight novel where Farah's sister is rescued and is now living in the same town. Tawny, like her sister Farah is suffering though her childhood from abuse (being damaged) and meets the 'alpha biker knight' (Judd) who rescued her. Again this is another intensed read. We find Tawny was more of a survivor that made her way out of the darkness and Judd was a 'hit man or enforcer' that got her out of it. Throughout the read there were parts that seemed unrealistic however, it still was a good read. I did find some of the romance scenes rather raw, now if you are not into that you may not like this read. I did find that this author presented a good story with some good characters: Tawny, Judd, Farah, Cooper giving the reader a well written novel with a good ending. From the first series we have Farah and Tawny whose parents had abuse them and then sold by their mother. Farah goes to college leaving her sister, however, Cooper sends Judd for Tawny. Getting her out of that hell hole was right up there for Judd. He would protect Tawny from anything and anyone to bring her to safety and now the story continues on ...and this is where I say you must pick up "Damaged and the Knight" to see how things will turn out for Tawny. Will Tawny and Judd learn to trust in their love for each other? This series can be a stand along read but I really think you will get more by reading the first series before reading this read. If you like emotional rollercoaster reads where you will cry, laugh, get angry and sad you have come to the right place because this author will take you there and beyond on this read. There will be some heavy areas in the read but in the end you are given a good love story that I would recommend to you. Now, it's time for the next series...Damaged and the Outlaw.

Review:

"Damaged and the Beast" by Bijou Hunter was a interesting contemporary romance story that was somewhat predictable for me, however it was a story that was definitely unforgettable and so full of emotions. I found this author's writing style so full of darkness a such a gritty story that will only leave you saying wow! This story was so full of dysfunctions that were simply off the chart. We find poor Farrah with so much 'emotional hang-ups, so damaged and Coopers anger issues were really scary at times to read about. However, even with all that was going on there were some humor from all the banter between Farrah and Cooper. I did find the characters were really believable, well developed and well portrayed helping to make this such a captivating read that seems to come to life. So, you may find yourself crying, laughing and smiling though parts of the read. Now, I will say the read isn't for everyone. This is were I say you much read this story for yourself and decide. This author did a good job about presenting to the reader a good intensed read. Be ready for 'angst, abuse and even some romance' in this well written story with a interesting ending that I would recommend to you as a good read.
