This is such an epic series..keeps getting better.

A man who lives in the shadows.

Zin “The Viper” Maklavoi has lived his life in the shadowy world of espionage, shedding the blood of evil and soaking up the darkness. Now, he needs to step into the light and allow the woman who has stolen his heart and soul to see the man behind the mask, even if it costs him everything. Can he convince her that he is damaged but not broken, or will he have to let his butterfly fly free?

A woman who longs to fly free.

Celeste Bourdain learned from a very early age to keep to herself and hide her gift from those that would hurt and exploit her. After a painful rejection by the only man she has ever loved, she decides to embrace life on her own.

But life has a way of teaching you who is really in charge, and before long her world is turned upside down.

Can they find a way to save each other before it’s too late?

Celeste now faces the biggest fight of her life. With the threat of death hanging over her head and bullets flying all around her she must now decide; fight or flight?

Can Zin win back his Pixie and stop the ticking time bomb that will kill her? Or will their entire world face annihilation and be forever changed? The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher in this game of cat and mouse.

Editorial Reviews

Review

****Actual rating 4.5I have to confess, I'm deeply invested in this series. After reading the previous four books, and now this one, I'm in love with the whole group at Fortis Security and how they operate as a team. Ms Wade does a particularly good job with team dynamics and relationships, how they support and strengthen each other. While I enjoy and love the individual heroes and heroines in the stories, it's really the whole team that brings me back to this series again and again. -Deanna's World Blog

Zin has cared for Celeste since they met but refused to let her in his heart and refused to admit that it was more than friends. When Celeste got kidnapped all the feelings he had came. After they got her back, it was only the beginning, and they were on a timeline with no solid plan.

The amount of drama and crazy that goes into each story is amazing!!! And that the author is able to continue to pull you into each mew story is another feat in itself. Loved zin and Celeste. Yes there were moments he put his foot in his mouth but usually it was cause he didn’t even get to finish what he was saying. Always someone around to interrupt. Lol. Loved how Celeste grew a backbone after some of the crazy ordeals she survived. Rhea(secret new name you learn) is completely psycho. I hope she had a horrible end real soon. Especially for all she has put everyone through. Particularly Lizzie and smithy. I hope they are ok. Poor roz and I hope kanan can help her cope. Thank god Samson is ok. Too much a fur baby doggie mom for that to go any other way without me being in tears.

In this book the enemy has now taken advantage of the Fortis teams. Zin and Celeste's story is in this book. When the dust settles the end is not yet there. I enjoyed this book. I find myself reading this series late into the night. Not wanting to leave the book until the end.

Each of these characters feel broken and that they have nothing to offer in a relationship, their lives are being messed with by this wacky group who thinks it's ok to that. The over all plot is complex and intriguing, definitely has you hating the leaders for ruining so many lives like they think is their right to do. There is action and suspense but there is also love, honour and support in spades. As friends and colleagues over several groups come together to try and take down the bad guys with as little loss as possible and to rescue those taken. It is emotional and full of tension and excitement, a roller coaster of highs and lows and violence when needed. Fantastic story and series with an on going main plot and individual couples stories within, although the whole team is involved throughout. The author has me spellbound and hooked deep I just want to keep reading, she has my heart aching for all the good guys and in love with all the male hotness, on the edge of my seat at the action and sobbing when someone gets hurt. Such a ride!

Celeste has always felt out of place, never truly excepted. With her gift she has to keep distance between herself and others or it becomes to much to handle. Somewhere along the way she fell in love with Zin, right at a time she could lose everything. 

She's been targeted by the Divine Watchers to become a sacrifice in their evil schemes of world dominance. They are threatening people that she cares greatly for, how can she just can't save herself and let them perish. 

Zin is that good guy who does bad stuff for all the right reasons. He feels that he's tainted and not good enough for Celeste but he's so far gone now and too selfish to let go. He will not lose his Pixie now. 

Absolutely loved it. From beginning to end the story was so well-written you don't want to put it down. Maddie did a phenomenal job in constructing the story and bringing to life the love between Zin and Celeste. 

I highly recommend reading the series in order to get the full effect. Happy READING!

5.0 out of 5 stars This story is explosive.

When Zin and Celeste first meet they are bit awkward and standoffish to each other. Zin is brooding alpha male. Celeste is quiet and innocent.

This story turns up the heat between them. There is a shared kiss between them at a wedding. Celeste is left confused not knowing what it meant. She makes a huge error in judgement, which ends up putting her in harms way with the divine watchers.

Zin has this tough guy exterior because of everything that has happened in his life. He thinks he does not deserve love but Celeste is making him second guess that. He is confused about how he feels. Celeste is coming out of her shell with the help of those around her. Will they both let down there guard and take a chance at love?

This story is explosive. The fortis team has there work cut out for them.

Zin may be her Superman by the end, but at the beginning of the book you could quite happily shoot him! He cannot handle the chemistry between them which obviously means he has to act like a total ass to her! I am sure the bigger and more Alpha they are, the more stupid they are when it comes to understanding women!
Celeste is lost, her gift terrifies her and causes her more heartbreak and stress than anything, she had hoped that Fortis may provide her with a place to fit in, a place she was important....but once again she was wrong.
Can the Fortis family rally the troops, save the day, win this latest battle and prove to Celeste how important and loved she is? The pressure is on as hers is not the only Fortis life at risk, mass devastation and loss are guaranteed and they will lose one of their own...but the series gets better with every book!
I read this on Kindle Unlimited, you do need to read the whole series in order as some plots continue throughout the series.

This is my absolute favourite series at the moment and in all honesty each book is a little better than the last!
As the series progresses Maddie Wade clearly becomes more in tune with each of her characters and they are all evolving beautifully.

Broken Butterfly is book 5 in the Fortis Security Series and concentrates on Zin and Celeste.
Zin is a bit of an enigma, he has stuck to the shadows for a long time, working alongside the Fortis team he is secretive, quiet, moody and very Alpha!

Celeste has a gift that she keeps to herself and is very guarded about, she struggles to trust but is a very endearing and sweet character.

Zin and Celeste are meant to be together, it’s so obvious, unfortunately Zin will not relent and allow Celeste to break down his barriers. When tragedy strikes and Celeste is taken, used for a diabolical crime in a heinous manner Zin realises that life is too short. He and the team race against time to save the innocents caught up a world effecting crime!

So much excitement, fast paced, page turning, I could not put it down....all phrases I would use for this book.

Bring on book 6....another Maddie Wade triumph.
Book 1 is actually free at the moment and trust me once you’ve read one you’ll just keep going!

Broken Butterfly is the fifth book in the Fortis Security Series by Maddie Wade. This can be read as a standalone, but I recommend that you read the other books first for a better appreciation of the story.
This is a romantic suspense- with drama, action, adventure, danger, thrills, intrigue, mystery, and their very survival at stake. I was hooked right from the beginning- I read it in one sitting.
Zin Maklovoi (The Viper) is a highly trained, lethal weapon. He had an extremely tough life and his past experiences have shaped him into the man he is today. He is a very endearing bad boy.
Again, The Divine Watchers come into play in this story. They have a sinister plan, and it involves Zin’s beautiful pixie, Celeste. Will he be able to keep her safe?
I loved Zin and Celeste, and I was really happy to get to know them better- they are really great characters. They were complex, fully developed and extremely endearing. Their chemistry sizzled off the pages and made for some red-hot reading.
The author held the tension, suspense and intrigue at an extremely high level throughout the book- as well as keeping me guessing most of the way through- she added twists and surprising development that I didn’t see coming, which ramped the excitement up a few notches.
I can’t wait to read more from her!

Thank you, Ms. Wade!
