This book was riveting. It gad my toes curling and my skin shivering. Loved every word and love this series and author.

Helen Hardt you have done it again!! This is the seventh book in the Steel Brothers Sagan it does not disappoint. This book picks up right where Surrender leaves off. We follow the point of views of Ryan Steele and Detective Ruby Lee in this novel.

Ryan is considered the best looking and jovial of the Steel brothers. What he is unaware of is that his family is keeping something from him, It will only take a buried secret and an unexpected person to shatter Ryan's world. Ruby Lee has had a rough life and ran away when she was 15 to get away from her father who tried to molest her. She lives her life guarded and untrusting, can Ryan shatter (like what I did there?) her hard exterior and can they figure out how their lives are connected? Such a great read, I read this in a sitting and can't wait until book 8.

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN????

Thank you Netgalley and Waterhouse Press for providing me with a copy of this book. What an awesome story! Oh my gosh I could not put this down. I read it in two sittings, would have finished in one, but chores got in the way! Ryan and Ruby were so lovely together! A sweet romance that slowly built and felt real. I have not read the earlier Steel Brothers books, but I sure want to now. Helen Hardt is a fantastic author.
What an emotional but riveting read. I loved Ruby's character she was so smart, strong and feisty. Ryan was great too. The Steel Brothers are a caring, close family. Can't wait to read the next instalment.

I have never read Helen Hardt's books but after reading Shattered I have no excuse not to anymore. Ryan and Ruby's story pulled me in and made me want more..... And that ending WHAT??? Can't wait to dive into the series from the beginning. Loved Ryan and Ruby can't wait for the next book.

**This book is part of a Series. I recommend reading in order**
Wow, I am shattered after reading this book. I read this book in one sitting. It was everything I had hoped and more. Ryan the youngest Steel brother is the focus in this book. He falls for Ruby Lee who has just as dark of a past as him. There are so many pieces that come together and you are left with just as many questions. Ryans world is literally shattered. Everything he believed to be true may not be afterall. Excellent writing. Helen Hardt is the master of cliffhangers.

Holy crap what an intense book. The Steele saga continues with the youngest brother Ryan and the question of who his mother really is and what role did she play in the abduction of Talon. While more information is found more questions come to the surface. Also thrown into the mix is Ryan's relationship with Ruby, while the chemistry is explosive, can the lies and the baggage from their pasts be overcome to continue. This book was an emotional rollercoaster that took me from happiness to tears to the end where I was swearing at my kindle. Helen Hardt knows the exact way to hook you in and leave you wanting more. I highly recommend this book.

Ms. Hardt not only sprinkles her pages with sexy scenes, but she has developed deeply flawed characters with relatable issues and weaved a gut-wrenching story around them. It’s clear from reading SHATTERED that each of the Steel brothers has worked hard to keep some secrets buried deep in the past where they belong, and when one of them finds the right woman, what was once held close to the chest suddenly can’t be contained. Detective Ruby Lee’s determination to find the truth at the expense of her attraction to the hella-hot wine-maker, Ryan Steel, is admirable. I love a strong heroine and Ruby Lee rocks it.

I have read all of the Steel Brothers series.. So, when this fell in my lap, I of course, JUMPED at the chance to read it!! I don't know how the author does it. I usually have most books and endings figured out before I even finish half of the book . Sooooo not the case in this series and with this author. I always end up saying NO WAY!! REALLY? THIS IS A GREAT,FAST PACED READ!!! Something is up with the Steel brothers during this Book. How much Can One Person take?? How Much More Can This Family Take?? This is definitely worth the read. I would suggest starting at the beginning. Read This Series!! You won't Be Disappointed, I Promise!!!

I received this ARC From The publisher via Net Galley for My Honest Review.

Great addition to a fantastic series, I have been following this series from the beginning and was looking forward to where Ryan's story would take us, I had a feeling Ruby was the one for him and I was not disappointed. This series is tough at times to read and I often find myself cringing at the suffering some of the characters suffered but the light at the tunnel has always been to see the bad guys get their comeuppance and the main characters get their HEA

Please note: I received a copy of SHATTERED on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher and author.

I love a good “the past can destroy our future” romance and Helen Hardt delivers. I haven’t read any of the other Steel Brother Saga books, so at first blush, I thought this was going to be a straight up erotic romance. Boy, was I in for a surprise! The author doesn’t just whip sex scenes together and toss in a few characters to give it a semblance of a story like a lot of other über hot romances do (pun intended). Ms. Hardt not only sprinkles her pages with sexy scenes, but she has developed deeply flawed characters with relatable issues and weaved a gut-wrenching story around them. It’s clear from reading SHATTERED that each of the Steel brothers has worked hard to keep some secrets buried deep in the past where they belong, and when one of them finds the right woman, what was once held close to the chest suddenly can’t be contained. Detective Ruby Lee’s determination to find the truth at the expense of her attraction to the hella-hot wine-maker, Ryan Steel, is admirable. I love a strong heroine and Ruby Lee rocks it.

Great read. This book captured and held my attention from beginning to end. This is a new to me author, I like her style.
