Perfectly Broken (Book One)

       

Zane Tishler moved in with his brother after his nightmare divorce to find that his brother had taken in a “stray”, a punk chick with a bad attitude. Liliosa Cortez found a place to start over in a city built for hiding. But when her roommate’s brother moved in she pegged him for a pretty boy with enough baggage to fill a semi and major hostility toward women. But now, after two years, Lili and Zane have become best friends and the perfect “wingmen.” They’ve developed a system for tagging and bagging tourists. No strings attached. They are partners in crime who have managed to have the time of their lives in the City of Sin.

Life would be perfect if they could keep it this way, but a new player in the game makes both Lili and Zane face the feelings they had not been prepared to notice. What happens when dangerous shadows from a forgotten past find their way into the neon spotlights? What happens when the fuse is lit on all those emotions they have deeply buried?

Can they survive the explosion or will the backlash tear them and everyone they love apart?

When two pasts become one present in the searing Nevada heat…

When two realities collide under the lights of Vegas…

When two lives are threatened due to secrets and lies…

What do you do when you find out your perfect world is Perfectly Broken?

 

 

Hooked on Books' 4 Star Review:

Lili and Zane have been friends and roommates for the last couple years. They are both broken from events in their pasts and they seem to understand each other’s need to stay away from love.

On a night out, Lili becomes jealous of Zane’s ex-wife and puts on a show for the whole bar. It was just supposed to help get Zane away from Lizzie but when they kiss they both feel an amazing connection. This kiss changed everything.

Unfortunately, Zane can’t seem to say no to his ex-wife. Lizzie is a total conniving witch. She pulls every stunt in the book to hurt Zane and Lili but Zane just can’t see it until it is too late.

Soon after, Lili finds herself in the company of a new man who makes her feel special. He is shy and sweet and she finds herself wanting to spend more than just one night with him. Too bad he is Zane’s worst nightmare and Lili is caught in the middle of his revenge.

This story was great. I loved Zane and Lili. Zane made me shake my head a few times with how stupid he could be when it came to Lizzie.

There was lots of angst and action in this book. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.

I definitely recommend this book to read.

Unforgivably Broken (Book Two)  

It took a near-tragedy for Zane and Lili to admit their feelings for one another. If they could survive that explosion, wading through the debris left behind should be a breeze, right?

Lili has spent years hiding from her past. Now, she's being forced to admit her mistakes and make a decision. Can she conquer her demons head-on, or will she remain by Zane's side while he fights his own?

Zane learned early in life that charm and deception are easier than hard truths. Sometimes, old habits die hard. When his past mistakes start making continuous reappearances, he is faced with some of the most crucial decisions he's ever made.

When you have secrets, they can rip ragged holes in the ties that bind even the strongest relationships.

What do you do when you realize you're unforgivably broken?

 

Hooked on Books' 4.5 Star Review:

Unforgivably Broken continues on with Lili and Zane’s story. They have finally realized their feelings for each other but their pasts are tearing their world apart.

In book 2, we learn more about why Lili has been on the run and in hiding. We also learn about Zane’s heartbreaking past.

Zane struggles everyday trying to make the right decisions where Lili and his family are concerned. Unfortunately, those decisions can’t make everyone happy.

I felt so sorry for Zane. He is trying to please everyone and tries to see the good in people. Lizzie is still a major problem for Zane and Lili. There is nothing she won’t do to get Zane back.

Lili has quite a sad past as well. She is a tough, young woman.

The author did an amazing job with this book as well. It is definitely one of my favorite series that I have read so far this year.

The story flows perfectly and the author leaves us with a huge cliffhanger. I hope book 3 is finished soon because I cannot wait to find out what happens!

Broken Holidays (Book two and half)

 

 

 

 

Hooked on Books' 4.5 Star Review:

I wasn’t really sure what to expect out of this novella. Sometimes it seems as though authors throw these novellas out just to sell more books and they don’t really add to the series.

Well this novella was great. It gave us more insight into Lili and Zane when they first got to know each other.

Zane is just sex on a stick and it was fun to see the sexy, steamy side of him.

I was surprised to learn about Lili’s relationship with Tony.

The author did a great job of taking us through the stages of Lili and Zane’s relationship. I could just feel the bond they had growing between each other no matter how hard they fought it.

This was a pleasant bonus to the series. The author did not disappoint!

 

Maegan despises writing about herself in the third person. She also hates touting her accomplishments like she thinks she’s really done anything special…

Now that we got that out of the way, I’ll tell you what you need to know. I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I went back to school in my late twenties and studied Stage Production Technology. I now work full-time in the alterations shop of a major department store and part-time backstage in the various theatres around the area.

I’ve been an avid reader from a very young age and the top goal on my list of things to accomplish in my life was to write and publish a book. During the summer of 2013, while working backstage on The Lion King, I read eleven books in four weeks. I read my first New Adult book and was introduced to a genre I felt I could totally relate to. The idea for Perfectly Broken and the character of Lili was born backstage during that time.
