The Broken One

Corisi Billionaires, Book 1

By: Ruth Cardello

Narrated by: Brian Pallino, Summer Morton

In New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello’s sexy and emotional romance, a billionaire dares to invest in the riskiest proposition of his life: a second chance at love.

Single mom Heather Ellis would do anything for her adopted daughter, Ava. Even post an online reward for anyone who found the girl’s lost stuffed animal. Who’d have guessed it’d be returned by a drop-dead-sexy man with such sadness in his eyes that she had to reach out to him? To Ava, he’s a hero. To Heather, he’s a fantasy that puts at risk the happy life she’s made for herself.

It’s been five years since billionaire developer Sebastian Romano lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident. Now he’s all business. No room for emotion. Until he stumbles across that damn stuffed wolf and the beautiful single mother looking for it. Is he ready to give love a second chance?

But there’s more to Sebastian, his family, and his past than Heather knows. More than even Sebastian knows. Will the life they’re building together be challenged when the truth is finally revealed?

Is it the narration or writing?

I don’t know what it is, but there was something so immature about the inner monologue... and painfully awkward conversations... which sometimes can be cute, but this just wasn’t for me.

The Broken One

I love all of the characters in Ruth Cardello books. This book was no different. In her stories I feel every emotion, that's when I consider an author too be a great writer. Love your books!

Sooo good!!

This book made me laugh and tear up too. It also had some steam and lots of suspense. I truly enjoyed it.

Swoon worthy with a dash of mystery and angst!

I'm not much of a fan when it comes to billionaire romance but this author hooked me with hers and there's no stopping me from devouring her other series!

The narration helped this story come to life! It boosted my imagination about a chance encounter; an unexpected happenstance where two people, both broken but have both chosen a different path to led a life has come together and taught each other how to accept, deal and heal together.

I love this book so much! Both characters are perfectly imperfect and the author as well as tge narrators brought out the perfect feelings/emotions from me. I fell in love with both main characters, especially little Ava and her Wolfie. It's so amazing how one little accident, how one little thing can be life changing. Fate, as you know it. It feels so real in the story, I just feel like I'm in love right now, too, LOL.

One thing is for sure, I'll be reading more from this author!

Why choose this male voice

Story is great, female voice is great but wow the male voice is sooo low, it is actually hard to hear and it’s like I keep expecting him to say some sort of action terminator catchphrase. It’s too much a dramatic shift from the female voice. It’s far too low, too dramatic that it’s distracting from the book
