Description

Unbroken is the sixth book in the steamy, edge-of-your seat, un-put-downable romantic suspense Blood Brothers series. Unbroken can be read as a standalone novel or read about the other Holmes brothers in books 1-5.

➞ Protective hero

➞ Mafia princess gone rogue

➞ Enemies to lovers

➞ Forced proximity

He only has to keep her alive for seven days . . .

When Savannah Carrington’s life is threatened, she refuses to be whisked to God knows where just to appease her father—the infamous leader of Sinners Syndicate. But when the owner of Backcountry Protection Services, Toth Holmes, is hired as her personal bodyguard, her choices are ripped away yet again. Her protector—make that captor—is anything but a saint. He looks at her like no other man dares, branding her with his gaze and promising to own her body if she’d let him. He’s hot and delicious but she’s not stupid enough to give into temptation. Doing so would sign his death certificate.

He said no to the job. More than once. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off the devastatingly beautiful mafia princess made refusing the contract offer a no-brainer. But when Savannah’s life is at stake, Toth knows he can’t turn a blind eye. Seven days is the length of his contract, the shortest one he’s ever signed, yet the most dangerous. If she’s killed on his watch, he’ll pay in blood. Same goes if he dares to touch one silky strand on her head.

As Toth battles with the desire riding between them, Savannah’s father’s enemies get closer. The more her father strikes back, the harder the villains come for his daughter. Toth might not be able to keep her alive forever, but he’ll die trying.

Unbroken is the sixth book in the steamy, edge-of-your seat, un-put-downable romantic suspense Blood Brothers series. Unbroken can be read as a standalone novel or read about the other Holmes...

I could not put this book down!

I was a little concerned about picking this one up without reading any of the other books in the series, but it does truly stand on its own.

The book is incredibly face paced with action on every page from start to finish. It’s hard to believe that majority of the book happens within 48 hours. The story is perfectly paced and doesn’t feel rushed.

Samantha Wilde takes you on an emotional rollercoaster for the whole book. You’ll want to scream, cry, and squeal with joy.

The two main characters have so much chemistry, you’re rooting for them right away. They are complex and complicated and pair so well together.

10/10 recommend this book! I’ll be going back through the rest of the series now.

2/5 - spice

So full disclosure I have not read any of other books in this series, but I have heard of the series and I knew what the series was about, it's actually been on my TBR. That being said, this book was so good and I didn't feel like I was missing anything because I haven't read the other books in the series. From the first interaction between Toth and Savannah, I knew I would love these two. Savannah is my type of FMC, not easily giving in to what the men around her want her to do, and not going down without a fight. The story developed so well and I had no clue what the twist with Savannah and Jace was going to be. This book was beautifully heartbreaking and it made me move the other books to the top of my TBR.

Note: I received this book for free from NetGalley and BooksGoSocial in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read this book!

Unbroken is the 6th book in the Blood Brothers series. This is the first book of the series I have read, but after reading Unbroken, I will add the rest of the series to my TBR. Even though I haven’t read the other books of this series I still found it very easy to follow and not confusing. Toth gets hired as a bodyguard by the Sinners Syndicate leader to protect his daughter for one week from his enemies the Red Eyes or so they think. Savannah puts up a fight at first because she doesn't want to be sent away again. As her father's enemies grow closer the more she relies on Toth’s protection. This book was so good it was never a dull moment. I could barely put it down.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publishing company and or the author for giving me the chance to read and review Unbroken.

Loved the MMC more than the FMC.

I was on an emotional, suspenseful rollercoaster that had me at the edge of my seat.

I can't wait to read more books from the publishing company and the author.

This novel is commendable in regards to the content. It leaves little to the imagination and has a story line that easily entices the mind of its reader. There is always action wrapped around every bend in terms of the story line. I wont give any details as to the content as i want others to take the opportunity to read it for themselves so that they can also be as pleasantly surprised as i was. I read the whole novel via Kindle in about 2 hours give or take. 2 hours with stops in between for things that i needed to attend to as well as my family life. I must say, i was not disappointed and found it to be constantly intriguing and creative. I would highly recommend this novel to those who enjoy some bad ass erotic content. Check it out because it is a must read.

This was only my second time reading this trope and it did not disappoint. The only thing that you'll find by reading this is a new author and the 5 other books before this one that you need to find to be addicted to!

Danny Carrington, head of the Sinners Cartel, has had threats against his daughter. Fearing a mole in his own mob, he looks to the outside for protection and hires Toth. $50000 for one weeks work. The only problem is keeping Savannah in check. A sassy, feisty and fierce mob princess. This is an enemies to lovers book with an storyline packed full of action. A touch her and die crime romance.

I really liked this book. Sometimes spicy romances can be lacking in an actual storyline, but this really delivered for me. The action was full of suspense and drama that had my blood pumping at times. I enjoyed the banter between Toth and Savannah and felt they were genuinely a good match.

“Honey, you took my fucking heart the moment I saw you in that leather skirt. And guess what? I don’t want it back”

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an advanced copy.

A wild ride from start to finish!

I certainly did not expect so much action packed into this book when requesting it, and I was not disappointed at all. It was surprisingly a good, fun, and thrilling read. Despite not having read any previous books in the series, I did not feel out of loop nor confused. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

It also has a good amount of spice ;)

This is book six in The Blood Brother’s Novel Series and it is Toth and Savannah’s story. Savannah is a mob princess a who is feisty, sassy, stubborn, strong willed and hard to control but when her life is threatened her father who is the head of the cartel decides that she needs a bodyguard who will protect and keep her safe until her father can find where the threat is coming from and if it is within his own organisation but Savannah is not happy about the situation and decided that she will not make there job easy. Toth is the owner of Backcountry Protection Services but when he is hired to protect Savannah he said no more than one because he doesn’t want to do this as he is attracted to her and if he gave in to the chemistry and attraction between them it would certainly be a death sentence but with the threat escalating Toth gives in and will try to keep everything in check as much as possible but Savannah is not making his job easy at all but Toth not only has his reputation on the line but also he is being paid a lot of money to protect and keep her safe. The danger is all around them and it is closing in, watching and waiting for the right time to strike and the closer they get the more dangerous the situation becomes but will Toth be able to fulfill his commitment and take down the threat before it destroys everything that is important to him which includes Savannah who has become everything to him. Wow I absolutely loved this book and I could not put it down as it was so addictive and kept you on the edge of your seat and I can’t wait to read more books in this series.

I have been hooked on the Blood Brothers books since I stumbled upon the first one on Netgalley in 2021. Fast paced, bad boys, mafia, corrupt police and strong capable women. If you haven't read them all, I recommend that you do; you're in for a treat!
I thought MARKED, the fifth book in the series was going to be the last one, but the ending said differently, and here we are almost a year later -- the sixth book in the series -- UNBROKEN.

It sure delivers!!

Savannah is the mafia princess her father wants to protect at all costs, although she's fighting against his domineering control every step of the way. It gets even worse when she's told she needs to go away for a week with a 'babysitter' from Backcountry Protection Services.

Toth has very reluctantly accepted the assignment to protect Savannah - he said no repeatedly, but that was exactly what made him the perfect man for the job!

Fighting to keep Savannah safe and keeping his own feelings under wraps, this turns into Toth's most challenging mission yet. Fortunately he has the new-found Holmes brothers available to help him out.

Unbroken is a fitting ending to a fabulous mafia suspense series with a bit of romance thrown in. All books feature very strong and independent female characters with the bad-boy Holmes brothers doing everything they can to protect their women.

Another action pact story filled with extra storyline besides what is going on with Toth being hired to protect Savangh through his protection services he is also dealing with needing help from his brothers who are the men from the other books, though they did not know anything about him. This is a book full of action and emotions from start to finish a very good book with good characters.

Unbroken is the 6th standalone book in the Blood Brothers Series by Samantha Wilde and even though I’ve read all the books in this series in order, you can absolutely read them as standalones. That being said, I would definitely recommend reading all of them in order to get the most out of them because as a whole, it’s an excellent romantic suspense series. I’ve mentioned before in previous reviews that I’m hard pressed to pick a favorite couple – I’ve enjoyed getting to know the Holmes brothers and their very strong female counterparts and I continue to feel that way. I knew I would enjoy getting to know Toth, but I think Savannah brought out the best in him as did the other female leads in the other books. This one is a bit more intense – or maybe a lot more intense! Even though they’re all fast paced and the plot moves at a nice clip, this one really had me catching my breath at times and wanting to read faster to see what was going to happen. Toth is another extremely protective male lead and Savannah is another strong, capable and courageous young woman. But don’t think this is 6 books of all the same thing – each book is unique in its own right, but together they make a stunning romantic suspense series that shouldn’t be missed. I have a feeling there’s going to be a spin-off.....we’ll see!! I’m grateful to have been given the opportunity to read an early copy of this book through NetGalley.

This book surprised me. I did not think I would enjoy it as much as I did. The romance was good, but there was also a lot of suspense. I really enjoyed the plot and all of the characters. I will probably read the books surrounding the brothers in the future. This was a good book and I would recommend it!

Unbroken is the sixth book in the Blood Brothers series and can easily be read as a stand alone.
The pull no punches banter between Toth Holmes, owner of Backcountry Security and Savannah Carrington a mafia princess whom Toth is tasked with protecting set the tone for this fast paced action packed read. Unbroken teemed with danger, lies, deceit and a sexy slow burn romance at every turn, and the devastating family drama experienced by both Toth and Savannah lent credence to this well written enemies to lovers story. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC and the chance to review this book.

This book had a little bit of everything - romance, thriller, suspense. The main character, Savannah’s life is threatened and her crime boss father hires protection for her. In the process of attempting to keep her safe, Toth, her bodyguard, becomes very close to her. He enlists the help of his estranged brothers to determine who is after her. As attempts on their lives are made, the reader wonders if they will be able to survive the attacks, let alone get a HEA. The story line was good and even had a twist at the end. I gave it a 4 star only because while it was good, it was a book I was able to put down and do other things.

Was this review helpful?

Savannah doesn't want to depend on anyone to save her. This is admiral but stupid when someone is shooting at you. I would think that her stance would change. Nope! I think Toth is drawn more to her every time she turns down his help. He might not get it but respects her for it. Once they start to work together, things get done. I really enjoyed this book. I always love the books that Samantha Wilde writes though.

Thank you NetGalley and Samantha Wilde for the ARC.

Unbroken is the 6th book in the Blood Brothers series. This is the first book of the series I have read, but I love it, so I'm going to read the others as well.

Toth is another extremely protective male bodyguard and Savannah is another strong, capable and courageous young woman, and we loved strong and capable FMC.

You will never get bored reading this book.

Overall Rating
⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

When I started this book, I didn't realize that it was in a series. Even better for me so I can go back and read all the others! This book had me on the edge of my seat with every twist and turn. The plot twist at the end took me by surprise!

Spicy Rating
🌶️🌶️🌶️ out of 5

This is mainly an action-packed novel so there are only a few times for spicy scenes but the ones that were there were perfect! The bond they formed while running was off pure adrenaline and past longing which spiced things up.




All opinions shared of are an expression of my own thoughts.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book.

This series – amazing, suspenseful, thrill ride. Every book in this series has been a joy to read and nail biting at the same time. I wondered if the last book was the end of this series, but no and YAY! Toth and Savannah were totally meant to be together. Enemies to lovers with snarky comments and then the draw to each other. Chef’s kiss perfection. Lionsgate has returned and the Holmes brothers have no idea why. Want to know why? Well, not spoiling it. Samantha does not let us take a breath with all of the action and who is the real villain. Surprise!

I think this might be a set up for a spin off series and am so excited for it if it is.

I’ve loved the brilliant series about these brave , damaged but dangerous and loving brothers.

This is slightly different in Toth is the unknown brother, the one left behind if you will.
But not now, he’s ready to meet and if possible work with his siblings, he’s going to need them.
Great read

I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review

This book was great. Totally action packed and had me on the edge of my seat for the majority of the book. Savannah & Toth were made for each other, filling in the holes for the other.
This is the 6th book of the Blood Brothers series and I didn't realize it at first, I don't normally ever read a series starting that far in but once I got into it I couldn't stop. I will for sure go back and read all the other books though because all the Holmes brothers stories sound like they'd be really good!
Definitely recommend with the action and steam you won't be disappointed!

Thrilling Forbidden Romance

Toth Holmes is hired on as a bodyguard for the beautiful mafia princess, Savannah Carrington. The attraction between the two is white hot but she’s forbidden fruit that he has to resist. Not an easy feat when he’s her 24/7 protection from a threat by her father enemies. He may just have to set aside his desire to make sure she’s safe but this will pose as his most difficult challenge yet. If he fails and she is harmed or he can’t resist her, it’s his head that will be on the chopping block.

This was an exciting forbidden romance with some good action and suspense to fill out an interesting plot. Forced proximity, enemies to lovers, forbidden romance, mafia princess…It’s a tried and true theme but was executed well. Samantha Wilde does a great job at creating a romance story with a gripping storyline that satisfies more than just the romance genre. There’s action, suspense, and crime mystery. Well rounded and well done! Definitely recommend this author and series.

After Marked, I was very happy to see yet another of the Blood brothers popping up on Netgalley.

Toth doesn’t want to do babysitter duty for a mob boss. But the head of the Sinners Syndicate doesn’t take no for an answer.

Savannah Carrington hates the fact that she can ‘t do what she wants or go where she wants. As daughter of the highest mob boss, she is a target for his enemies. Does she care? No. Therefore, she makes all of her bodyguards life a living hell. Because she doesn’t listen and she goes where she wants. until the grumpy and stoic Toth. He doesn’t put up with her bullshit and whisks her away for her own safety. But there are traitors on the loose and Toth needs to step up to ensure the spoiled princess’ safety.

Soon Toth learns several things: maybe there is a reason for Savannah to act out like she does. And secondly: maybe the threat isn’t from one of Mr. Carrington’s enemies, but from someone within the Lionsgate Syndicate. And that means, Holmes might be in over his head. But fortunately, his blood brothers will come to the rescue!

As always, an awesome story. Somewhere along the way you probably want to kill Samantha for the heartbreak she is causing you. But if you hold on for the ride, she will fix you up. Promised. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Unbroken by Samantha Wilde was book 6 in the Blood Brothers Series. This was a really good book. I enjoyed this author's writing and I hope to read more from her soon.

Was this review helpful?

Such an action-packed read!

This is my first read from Samantha Wilde and I'm very glad to have a chance to review an ARC of this book.

Toth was hired to protect Savannah, who he thought was just a spoiled mafia princess. Soon enough he realized that he misjudged her when Sav finally let him see her vulnerability.

I love how this book developed. There was steady progress about the threat to Savannah at the same time their relationship was growing. Toth was very patient and has been invested right from the start though (he was in a bit of denial in the beginning but that didn't last) so that's no surprise.

Savannah is the type of heroine who's pretending to be an ice queen because she couldn't be seen as weak being the daughter of the cartel leader but I love that she let her true self show with Toth. She did not do a push and pull with him but just went with how she feels. Her back story was painful and I admit, I was hoping that I would get to see her get another chance at it in the epilogue but how everything tied up was okay, too.

I definitely recommend this to fans of mafia and military/bodyguard tropes.

Toth's brothers are interesting too so I might checkout the other books in the series.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for providing an arc in return for an honest review.
There was a lot to love about this book; engaging characters who you grow to like and care for, lots of adventure and romance. This is the 6th book in the blood series. I haven't read the others though and this book can still be easily read as a standalone. I'm quite intrigued to get to know the other brothers after seeing their relationships as the book progressed.
My only gripe was the very distracting use of onomatopoeic words throughout the novel-bang, crash, knock.
This was a fun, engaging read that kept me turning pages.

Toth Holmes is out of the Marines and running a protection service with his best friend. He's been approached by Sinners Syndicate mafia several times, but flat out refused to get involved, especially since he can't seem to control his attraction to mafia princess Savannah Carrington. But when her life is threatened, he feels he has no choice. He can keep her safe and his hands off her for seven days, right? But he underestimated how big of a threat she's under. Lionsgate has returned and it will take the help of the brothers he never knew to protect her.
I had to laugh at Cole being so very Cole-ish on first meeting his unknown brother. Too bad Toth had to meet him first! I enjoyed seeing how each brother reacted to the situation and jumped in to help in their own way. Toth was able to shed light on what happened to their parents and bring great closure to the series. And of course, the spice level between him and Savannah was super hot!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
