True love never fades... After surviving a troubled childhood, Denise can’t believe that she’s blissfully married to her partner and soulmate. She’s confident that not even Mason’s long-term, deep-cover assignment will shake their bond. And she certainly doesn’t anticipate that when he finally walks back through her door that he’ll have no memory of her, himself, or their time together… When Mason is pulled out of an operation gone bad, all he knows is what he’s told — that he was a covert agent, that he has information vital to national security somewhere in his head, and that they can tell him no more for fear of burying those hard-fought secrets even further. They tell him nothing else; not even that the beautiful woman who makes his heart beat faster is not just his partner, but also his wife. The secret she must keep wrecks Denise, who wants only to return to Mason’s arms. But despite the desire that still burns hot between them, she can’t tell him who she is—or that she’s carrying his child. But when dark forces threaten both their lives in order to retrieve the information trapped in Mason’s mind, it’s not their past that will be tested, but the tenuous new love now burning hot between them. You don't want to miss this sexy, suspenseful amnesia romance!

A view years back I read two books in the Stark Saga series by J. Kenner. And I absolutely adored those books. Somehow I never got to reading the third book in the series. But it has been on my TBR for a long time. So when I saw a sign up for ‘Broken With You’, the second book in the Stark Security series, I knew I wanted to read this book. And I was super excited to hear I got approved for an ARC shortly after.

Although ‘Broken With You’ is the second book in a series, but it can be read as a standalone. There are some characters that apparently where in the other book, but I never felt like I missed something important while reading this book. And I loved ‘Broken With You’ from the beginning till the very end.

In ‘Broken With You’ we meet Denise. Denise is married to her true love Mason, and she is really happy. But Mason has been on a secret assignment for almost two years, and Denise is afraid he is never coming back to her. But then one day, Mason returns. Unfortunately he doesn’t remember anything.. Not his name and certainly not who Denise is. And now Denise can’t even tell him who she really is.

The romance in this book was just so good. I loved reading about Denise and Mason. The chemistry between them was flying off the pages. It was both heartbreaking and toe – curling good to read about these two. And the thing I liked the most about this read was the fact that the romance was good, but there was also a lot of suspense.

Denise’s character was fun to read about. But Mason’s was my absolute favorite. He woke up without any memory of who he was and what he was doing. And instead of freaking out he kept on trying to find out more. And although he felt an instant connection with Denise, he kept trying to want to do the good thing because he just felt he was a person who didn’t take another guys woman. I loved that about him.

After finishing ‘Broken With You’ I definitely can’t wait to read more by J. Kenner.
