Broken

When Theodore Davenport decides to switch his mundane job for a career, he walks into Holden House Publishing with enthusiasm and determination to succeed. As he settles into his new role, makes new friends, and dreams of making it to the top, everything is going to plan.

Until he meets James Holden, CEO of Holden House.

James Holden hasn’t been able to stop thinking about his encounter with the timid man he met in a club bathroom last week, and when he discovers the one haunting his dreams is an employee, he can’t seem to stop himself from pursuing him.

Just a little fun - that’s what James tells himself. He can’t afford to care for someone who can never reciprocate, not once they find out who he really is. James believes nobody deserves the burden of being attached to him. He’s a complicated man. Damaged. Difficult. Demanding.

Broken.

Is Theodore strong enough to confront James’ demons? More importantly, is James?

Broken is an international bestselling gay romance novel that explores mental health, the pain and liberation of healing, acceptance and, most importantly, love.

• Haken balances the love and tenderness with episodes of James's pain. This is a sensitive and thoughtful story of love taking root and flourishing against the odds. ~ Publishers Weekly 

• Broken is truly a remarkable book. I was blown away by it, by the raw and sincere way Ms. Haken took these men through the roller coaster of living with unrelenting demons. And now, as I sit here wondering if I have to courage to post this review, all I can think about is how far into my heart Theo and James have embedded themselves--and how I hope they never leave. I think it might be too hard to say goodbye...although maybe not as hard as it was find the words that I hope compel you to read this breathtaking book. ~ Beth, Give Me Books

• Broken was such a profoundly beautiful way of showing what having a relationship with someone who has a mental illness can be like...Such a powerful, powerful story and one that will stay with me. ~ Marie, Surrender to Books

• A stunning but achingly painful read ~ Author Sloane Kennedy

• This is an amazing book full of so much raw emotion that it gripped me and wouldn't let up. I felt like I was watching a movie in my head and I wanted to just jump in the book and give James a huge hug. Lots of FEELz in this book.. both good and bad. ~ Alpha Book Club
