Broken by Lies by Rebecca Shea
Imagine a day that started out just like every other…
A sudden unexplained event turns your world on its side and sends you spinning…
What you decide to do now with determine your future…
This is the story of Emilia Adams. Twenty-one years old and alone in the world, she heads to Arizona to find answers. Completely out of her element, Emilia seeks the unknown only to be cast back disappointed and hurt. Trying to locate her hotel room, she nearly mows over a handsome stranger who she feels drawn to. He helps her into her room, leaves her key and tells her to lock the door and not let anyone in.
Alejandro “Alex” Estrada is the son of the head of the Estrada cartel. Strictly a “numbers guy”, Alex is forced to jump in and get his hands dirty when his father and several members of the cartel operations are incarcerated or killed. That is where he saw her, Emilia, going into a seedy motel room alone. Something about her called to him when she almost knocked him down, so when he sees her again, he goes against his better judgment and speaks to her.
Alex offers Emilia a place to stay since she is down to her last fifty dollars. As lost and as helpless as Emilia feels, she decides to take Alex up on his offer. Neither of them know how this situation will fulfill something in each of their lives that they did not know they needed.
First, let me say that I LOVE this book! The dual POV is fantastic and flows with no effort. The twists and turns in this story kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt that I really got to know Alex and Emilia and I can’t wait to see where things go.
I give this 5 out of 5 stars.
