Unbroken by Jay Crownover | Novella Review

Publication Date:  May 14th 2019 

Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance

Series: Loveless,Texas

Synopsis:

When rodeo star Crew Lawton loses everything in a bad bet, he has no choice but to take a new job to pay off his debts – even if it means becoming the face of an expensive male skincare line. Crew is used to getting sweaty and rustling in the dirt, not posing for photo shoots. And he’s certainly not used to being bossed around by a woman who doesn’t even know the difference between bulls and broncs. But Crew owes money to dangerous criminals, and he’ll do anything Della says in order to pay them back and keep them far away from his family in Loveless, Texas…

The launch of her new men’s line for her family’s company means everything to Della Deveaux, and she’s not willing to let some rugged, arrogant cowboy ruin her campaign. Crew Lawton is the last man she would have chosen to represent her chic, sophisticated brand. Unfortunately, her father already invested millions in Crew’s stupidly handsome face. Yet the more time they spend together, Della and Crew realize that opposites doattract. But when the time comes for Crew to face his past mistakes, will he be able to protect his family…and the woman he’s come to love?

Unbroken is a fast, little story about Crew and Della and provides a great introduction to the town, drama and families of Loveless, Texas!

” My older brother wanted to save the world; I was the one who set it on fire.”

In true Jay Crownover fashion, she sure knows how to write some sexy male characters and in this case a sexy cowboy! With one of my favorite tropes of the bad boy meets uptight good girl, and enemies to lovers, left me wanting more of the relationship and story. 

Rodeo Rider and NY Business Woman makes for a contradicting but intense and steamy romance that has you rooting for the characters, but loving the sass! 

” A true-blue cowboy, a Lamborghini, and an Arabian stallion walk onto a photo shoot…”

Crew is your typical ruff and gruff bad boy cowboy. He has gotten himself into trouble and has to do somethings he is not thrilled about to fix the problem and ensure his families safety. Della’s life revolves around the family business as she is trying to prove her worth and earn the respect of her father. 

Overall this novella packs a punch in a short amount of time. The romance is intense and extremely hot! I am such a fan of the witty banter and snark remarks made between the characters. I do not want to say too much since its such a short story, but it is worth it! The only reason ir isn’t a 5 star for me was because I needed more from the story. I am sure we will see more of this couple in future books, but I thought a lot more could have been done.The groundwork is laid for the first full book in the series, Justified. We are introduced to the family and let me tell you, I cannot wait to see more of Kody! She is feisty and quite the badass!
