Broke Down: My Over the Top Possessive Alpha Harem by Sharan DaireMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sweet and Sexy RH
This was actually written by Joely Sue Burkhart, of Queen Takes Knights fame. This book is written under a pen name and I can see why. This book is NOTHING like the dark RH works this author is known for. This book is a very sweet RH, with very little conflict, filled with sweet insta-love and a little steam thrown in for good measure.
Shelby is a single mother. She’s broke, alone and desperate. She only has one family member left, her grandmother, who she hasn’t seen since she was a child. She finally caves in, packs up her belongings in her very broken down car, scoops up her children and heads off for pastures new, where hopefully she at least won’t have to worry about rent.
With a grand total of $20 in her purse, her faithful old car gives up the ghost. They are on a deserted road, with no food, no heat and no money to call for a tow truck. Shelby doesn’t know what to do until flashing lights pull up behind her and the sheriff comes up and rescues her. Whisking her up the road, where he, his twin brother and two best friends run a fancy hotel/lodge/retreat.
Shelby can’t believe her luck and is waiting for the other shoe to drop, but the sheriff and his friends can’t believe their luck too. They’ve been looking for a woman to share, to have a family with and they all want Shelby and her adorable kids.
The characters are really fun. Shelby is very real, down to Earth and a little bit beaten up by life. Her kids are well behaved and sweet, without being over the top and cutesy stereotypes. The guys are big characters. Derek, the sheriff, is a big burly protector type, his brother Kaleb is a big teddy bear of a mechanic, Everett is the charismatic hard-working poor boy, done good and Chris is the broken billionaire ex-marine with PTSD. They even have a dog.
You can probably guess where the plot goes. It’s sweet and lovely, filled with grand gestures, dreams come true and passion. It’s a sweet and loving romp of a book and is pure escapism as you imagine yourself taking Shelby’s place instead of in your normal grind of a day.
It’s a fun book, without any great challenges, but it’s well written and you feel good when you read it. Sometimes all you want in a book is something to make you smile and this book hits the nail on the head.
