Broken Open

Hurley Brothers, Book 2

By: Lauren Dane

Narrated by: Kate Turnbull

Five years ago, Tuesday Eastwood's life collapsed and left her devastated. After an empty, nomadic existence, she's finally pieced her life back together in the small Oregon town of Hood River. Now Tuesday has everything sorted out. Just so long as men are kept for sex, and only sex....

Then she met him. Musician and rancher Ezra Hurley isn't the man of Tuesday's dreams. He's a verboten fantasy - a man tortured by past addictions whose dark charisma and long, lean body promise delicious carnality. But this craving goes far beyond chemistry. It's primal. It's insatiable. And it won't be satisfied until they're both consumed, body and soul....

Broken Open In A Good Way

I love the Hurley Brother's and I can't wait to read about Vaughan. Ezra Hurley has a very dark past he had a very public addiction to heroin having pasted out on stage during a concert, which resulted in him and his brother Paddy the lead singer of their band getting into a fight on stage. Ezra has spent the last five years making amends to those that he has hurt, he still writes, produces and plays on the albums with his brothers and he does a couple of live shows with them. Ezra is also a rancher like his father. Ezra doesn't think that he deserves to be happy. Tuesday lost her husband to cancer five years ago and she doesn't think that she deserves to be happy also, because Eric her husband is dead and she is not. This book was full of hot sex scenes and I loved it. I also liked the supporting cast in this book Sharon Hurley is a force to be reckoned with I have never heard of a mother offering to shot dope with her son to prove a point and (I'm a drug counselor). I also liked Diana Tuesdays mother because she told her daughter the truth it was ok to love someone else. This was a interracial love story and I liked how Ms. Dane wrote the prejudice that Tuesday went through at the feed store and how Ezra's father Michael handled it and how Ezra felt about it. From the first book of this series I felt that it was something very special about these two and I was so glad that they got their happy ending from dealing with each of their fears to her ex in laws. This book was very well written (read) as I listened to it on audio. If you are a fan of hot rockers with the erotic twist you will like this series. I can not wait to read about Kelly and Vaughan Hurley.

Ezra and Tuesday

Rockstar farmer and artist entrepreneur are survivors that agree to live in present. Slow moving at first but the story of love, friendship and family draws you into their story. Loved it!

enjoyed extremely more after chapter 13. thanks

Story picked up after chapter 13. mentioning racial difference should have been mentioned earlier. But conversations between the characters were enlightening. I wish the ending had an epilogue so could see how far they last. That the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

can't get enough

I absolutely loved it these stories. I wished there was more and it had to end, but please can we have another with couple updates.

Enjoyed the story very much.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the way the author dealt with the interracial relationship. She acknowledged that there are issues and dealt with them. The Hurley family did seem to good to be true but as an African American woman married to a Caucasian, I have met people as good as the Hurley's and some just like the man in the feed store. Overall, it's a very good story - pretty hot!

What about Kate Turnbull’s performance did you like?

Easy to listen too. Liked her voice.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Hot Sex and a lot of it!

Any additional comments?

Thank you for making this book available. I would not have known about this author or book had it not been for the book cover. The cover is what caught my attention.
