Bent, Not Broken Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 439 ratings

Defense attorney Madden Polunin is good at his job. He works alongside the Kings of Men MC and is known, and hated, by the New Gothenburg PD for getting his clients cleared of charges that should have sent them to jail.

Straitlaced Officer Evan Slater loathes everything about Madden, from his charismatic personality that helps free criminals, to how hard it is to pronounce his ridiculous last name. Polunin makes Evan’s job more difficult than it needs to be, and Polunin’s smug smile fuels Evan’s anger.

In a night of celebration, Madden ends up drugged and runs into Evan, which begins a turmoiled relationship between a self-declared “straight” police officer and a lawyer only interested in one-night stands. Between criminal arrests, a serial killer father locked behind bars, and a negligent work partner, Madden’s and Evan’s lives collide in ways they never expected.

    Loved the reference of my person to describe Madden and Evan's not relationship. There were so many laugh out loud moments throughout the book which I found delightful. Madden had the best boss in River and can't wait for his book. King and Casper make cameos. Low angst with Evan's father being in prison and trying to keep in touch with him. Don't think I didn't forget that tidbit about Hayden too. The sex was off the charts. This series just takes you into a world where you don't want to leave and feel like you live in NG as a member of the community and you frequent the establishments. That's what I consider awesome writing talent. Can't wait for next story. I highly recommend the whole NG books.

    I would definitely recommend this book and outstanding authors.

    Interesting, quirky characters. Hot! Gave me surprises in the story line. I love the entire NG universe. Enjoy the way all the different groups/series are connected.
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2023
    This was a 3.5 star read and I fluctuated on whether to round it up to 4 or down to 3. Down won because it was a bit choppy in the beginning and rushed to the end with some ridiculousness to the plot points that were supposed to be serious.

    With that said, it was a read that I really enjoyed. I think that's down to Madden being a bit irresistible. No matter how I hated the way Evan treated him in the beginning, I could not stop reading this once I started. The middle chunk and towards the end is the best, where they dance around being something more serious before Madden becomes Evan's person. There's cuteness and heat in there that really worked for me.

    Great book. I truly enjoyed the banter between these two. And the emotions. This is my first with this series of books, but will be back for more. Hope the future has a book with Emmy finding love!!

    This was different. The strong raw emotions that Slater felt towards Madden was a bit strong at times. But for whatever they seem to work. Both were fairly entertaining in their own ways!
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020
    It's always a wild ride when dealing with the kings, even if it's their attorney. Madden is 20lb cat in 10lb sack! So much personality and passion. Evan is rough and rigid in beliefs. The smexy is on point and intense but doesnt take away from the story itself. Loved everything about this book.

    These authors do a great job of riding the line between violence and emotions. I enjoy how nuanced their characters are. No ones all good or all bed but beautifully human.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, it had me smiling
    Reviewed in Australia on December 3, 2021
    Madden and Evan was perfect, they melted your heart as they were not perfect but they fought to be together and were there for each other. It wasn’t an ooooh arrrrrr your perfect and gorgeous sought of story, it was two guys falling for each other and getting to know each other and living together while there worlds are so different.
    It was just a nice story that made me smile.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2020
    This book took me by surprise with how much it pulled me in and grabbed my attention. It’s essentially a bi-awakening book with little other major storyline going on (there are a few key events to get your teeth into) but it was so well paced it didn’t need anything else. Very enjoyable.

    Really enjoyed this story. The chemistry between Evan and Madden was well written with lots of complications and drama. I love drama. The storyline was interesting and I didn't flick through any pages (unusual for me)
