    About this ebook

    Which deadly sin will you discover? Standalone thriller "Break My Bones" is a dark domestic thriller with an epic twist. How many people will die so that one man might win his love back?

     

    Sticks and stones do break bones, and words will surely hurt you.

    Staring down the barrel of a loaded 9mm is a wake-up call, especially when it's your husband's finger on the trigger. Brooklyn James's only thought is to take her baby and run. It's better to end up on the streets than suffer one more day beneath her husband's hand.  

    Finally back on her feet, Brooklyn is stronger, better prepared, and determined not to run. That is until she gets the call that her husband has been released from prison after serving his three years for DWI.  

    Cain James has his wife on his mind, always. With his friend Donovan at his side, anything is possible. He can find her, bring her home, make her love him again. While Cain has serious anger issues, Donovan is much worse. Cain can't control his friend's sick, twisted mind and even sicker actions. 

    Donovan has Cain's best interest at heart, and he'll do whatever it takes to help Cain bring his wife home—including murder. After his time in prison, Cain doesn't want to hurt his wife again and becomes a man torn—divided between the darkness inside him, his twisted love, and his lifelong protector, Donovan. 

    As Cain tries to convince his wife that he's changed, he watches the bodies hit the floor one by one at the hands of his sidekick. Enraged by his estranged wife's new love and conflicted by his own anger and need to protect his family, Cain unravels. 

    He can't live without her, and he won't let her live without him. 

     

    The Deadly Sins novels can be read in any order and do not share worlds.

      While reading Break My Bones, my Kindle was like a yo-yo in my hands. I kept tossing it down, cringing, but then I'd pick it right back up because I had to know what happened next. The domestic abuse depicted within these pages is realistic, horrifying, raw, and happening in ways similar to this all over the world right now.I loved Tamayo's writing style. This story pulls you along whether you want to go or not.Brooklyn is an easy character to like and empathize with, though I did groan at some of her choices (or lack thereof). Donovan is a little too good to be true, but will appeal to readers who enjoy the 'knight in shining armor' kind of thing. Cain's complexities seemed obvious to me, and probably will to many readers. While I don't think it detracts from the reading experience at all, I would've preferred for the issue to be incorporated into the story, rather than attempting the big but anticlimactic reveal at the end. I had trouble believing that Brooklyn wouldn't have seen these glaring signs in her husband throughout the years.I had some minor quibbles with the plot, largely having to do with things Cain did and the lack of police involvement. Plausibility is a leap, but still the story held me captive.This story excels at depicting the plight of a woman trapped in an abusive relationship, the cycle of love/hate, and the paralyzing fear.
