I received a complimentary copy of Unshattered in exchange for an honest review. This was a quick and easy read with a variety of topics including domestic violence, broken relationships, and death of family members. It takes place in a small town where Anna goes to restart her broken lie. She quickly acclimates into the community an meets Nathan through his cousins. The first meeting between Anna and Nathan was a disaster, and I thought to myself there was no way they could recover, but they did. Definitely a good read that I would recommend to friends and family.

ArC provided by NetGalley. I am a fan! I am now an Elena Kincaid fan and possible groupie! This book is everything. With the dark turns and the alpha male savior, I could not put it down. I need more!!

A standard thriller romance, Unshattered follows the struggles of Anna after she escapes her dark past for a life change in a small town. She meets big shot lawyer Nathan who grew up there and has recently moved back.

It has heavier levels of steam and is a fairly quick and easy read. This would be a good weekend beach read.

Lots of trigger warnings which are frequently seen in this genre/style: Violence, harassment, domestic violence, death of parents.

Nathan and Anna were okay main characters, sometimes making immature choices due to their insecurities from prior relationships. It is honestly a Hallmark movie turned into a book, which so many will dive right into. Lots of drama, heat and a splash of suspense and danger. It’s not a book that will blow you out of the water but it’s a good guilty pleasure read to tuck into.

I really enjoyed this book by Elena Kincaid. It was very well done and would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This is my first from this author. It seems it is the start of a series. I actually liked the supporting people, Carla, Ruby,Josh, better than Anna and Nathan. This ok, it's a quick read.

Unshattered is a fast-paced book that is both sweet and very spicy. It follows schoolteacher Anna and former big-city corporate lawyer Nathan as they go from wary acquaintances to steamy lovers, with a lot of strong luuuurvey emotion in the middle.

The story takes place in the small town of Silver Cliff, Nathan's hometown. Anna ended up there after leaving bad memories behind in Brooklyn. Nathan returns there a year after her, tired of representing companies at the expense of the little guy. Both have troubled relationships in their pasts as well, making them a little leery of each other at first. Nathan, after a few months of an internal battle, determines that Anna is worth fighting for, and he does have a bit of work ahead of him. All that aside, their path to coupledom is relatively easy. It's their histories that present issues here and there, most of them predictable of the trope.

While I liked the story and would probably read the next books in the series (this one is the first in the Silver Creek series), I did find Anna's and Nathan's characterization a little problematic. The book blurb describes Anna as "snarky," but both Anna and Nathan instead come across as immature at times, acting more like teenagers or college kids than as the grown ups they are supposed to be. It made them--especially Nathan--unlikeable at times, though both are quick to realize and own up to their respective stupidities.

Note: When they do get together, the steam level is incinerating, frequently crossing into raunchy. Just a note of warning for those who prefer less explicit sexy times.

Trigger warnings: Violence, harassment, domestic violence (in the past but described), death of parents (also in the past but described)

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for my honest. Thanks!

Love love LOVED! This book! I finished it in one night! Synopsis she’s a women with a dark past who’s settle in a small town and works at the local school. He’s a big shot attorney who returns to his childhood town. This book is literally what you get if you took a hallmark movie and adult film together! It was deliciously naughty in all the right ways!

Great book. Well written and an easy read. A real page turn. I couldn't put it down. Read it in one night. Definitely recommend this.

Anna Jones is a woman, that has faced many challenges and so in finding Silver Cliff, she finds a place which heals her past, where she has faced the loss of both parents and domestic violence that saw her ex-partner in jail. Yet despite her latest heartbreak of a cheating partner, she is drawn to Nathan Kent, who is also shouldering a broken heart.
Anna and Nathan struggle at first in their relationship, trying to separate their past from their present relationship. This was a realistic portrayal of the insecurities that people face, with all the baggage that they bring to the relationship. I enjoyed seeing this relationship go from strength to strength and in Anna, believing in Nathan, who appears more resolute in his feelings for her. I so look forward to reading more books in this series, as the secondary characters also added to the complexity of the storyline.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Anna, a schoolteacher, has lost just about everyone she loves. When she catches her boyfriend kissing his ex, she realizes she needs to start over. So she starts driving and ends up in this cute little town of Silver Cliff. Nathan is a New York lawyer but returns home after a particular hard case. He was attracted to Anna from the first moment but she tries to stay far away. His cousins keep trying to fix them up but it always backfires. The more time they spend, the more she drops those walls around her heart.

Very explicit sex. Both have been hurt in the past. But hopefully together they can heal each other. Anna to me kept see sawing between wanting him and not. This was my first by Mrs. Kincaid and I very much liked it.
