The continuation of Greyson and Caden’s riveting love story in this book is rich in original eroticism, heart stopping action, suspenseful mystery, profound psychological and personality explorations written as if captured in literary “high definition”. And…this is just what is at the surface of the read. There are underlying themes that manifest to the reader who is alert to the consummate genius on display in the composition of the words used by the incomparable C. D. Reiss throughout the series.
Caden is leaving for Iraq. This is Greyson’s worst nightmare come true and the very thing she promised she would never become…she became…the wife left behind carrying more burdens…alone and lonely…sick with worry…learning how to function as a single person rather than a part of a couple. Compounding the toll on her emotional energy that the worry for Caden’s mental and physical well-being takes, Greyson begins processing the turbulent experiences of the months prior to Caden’s deployment mentally and emotionally.
“The last months had been stressful. Damon’s appearance had thrown me, and the months before that, with the unexpectedly rough sex and the more unexpected reason for it, had been a slow crawl of emotional tightness that unwound just as slowly without the day-to-day chaos.
In the unwinding, my own feelings were freed. Disappointment unraveled to reveal anxiety, which dissolved into a puddle of worry that boiled with anger that steamed into sadness before soaking into resentment.” - Greyson
As loving as Greyson is, she is analytical. After examining all the deconstructed events and emotions of the past months, Greyson still sees that the love she shares with Caden exists outside of all the turmoil and is not connected to the turbulent circumstances or her raw emotions. Greyson’s love for Caden stands alone and only her love will be the basis of her every decision going forward.
“Caden. Me. The love that bound us together wasn’t connected to the skein I’d built around it. It stood discrete. It was at the heart of every decision I was about to make.” - Greyson
Caden is angry that Greyson would put herself in danger by returning to Iraq as a military contractor overseeing the contractor’s top-secret PTSD treatment protocol. Caden’s anger is its own pathological entity. It’s only satisfied with adrenaline, danger and…Greyson’s pain. Caden needs these things to reign in this "entity", this beast and to feel some semblance of being whole. Caden also questions Greyson’s motive for returning to an active war zone because of her former single-minded commitment to her military career. A career she abandoned for a civilian life with him.
“…But admit it to me, your husband, that you want to be here because you never wanted to leave the army in the first place.” - Caden
“I wish you hadn’t come. I’m so glad you came.” - Caden
This is the framework for the revelatory chapters of Broken Edge which is the continuation of a remarkable love story forged in the violence, destruction, madness, heartbreak, sacrifice, valor and the fear inherent in war. A love story that progresses through further horror and trauma. A love story that tells of a love that needs to crawl across psychological wounds like a captive forced to crawl across broken glass to be free. A love story in which pain is a panacea, cure, pleasure and perhaps more.
While Caden and Greyson traverse the scarred earth of a war-torn land, they search for their truth as individuals and as a couple brought together by either circumstance or a God that Caden can only define as the capital U in Universe so long as Greyson walks the earth. Along with the constant pressure of living in a war zone…there is something or someone insidious that is at work threatening Caden, Greyson and their marriage.
I thought long and hard and I have so many theories about the meaning behind the title, “Broken Edge”. To share even one theory of the meaning would be too much of a spoiler. And of course, the story continues because not all has been answered. Actually, it seems the more information we gather through the series the less we actually know. I cannot...can…not wait for the last book in this epic, “ edgy” uber erotic romance.
BTW: I was intrigued with the words above…which I quoted from the book and used for my title. This author is so sly. Maybe it’s a message in code? Maybe not? I promise you’ll understand more when you read this book.
If you read the previous books: Cutting Edge Rough Edge On the Edge certainly you must continue with Broken Edge and then onto Over the Edge.
This series is truly transcendent in its genre. The imagination of storyline is unmatched and quality of the work in total is superior. If you love your romance intense, intelligently creative in its eroticism and wrapped in a plot that has your head spinning in all the best ways…well, friends what more can I say…go...begin…read… Start with the prologue it's free…Cutting Edge.
“I saw the three bright stars of Orion’s belt. Caden was under the same sky, and he was looking with me. He was my blue sky, my clear day, the protective shell over my world. At night, we were strung together by the stars.”

About the author
Keeps getting better and better!
The turbulent relationship between Caden and Greyson has completely captured my attention and heart! This unconventional couple is intense, real, honest and completely breaks the marriage mold. Nothing they do or say is obvious. Just when I think they’re going to turn left, they turn right. I am on the edge of my seat anticipating their next move and have a delightful case of whiplash trying to figure them out. Plain and simple, Caden and Greyson beat to their own drum and it is LOUD and POWERFUL! The love these two share bleeds, truly bleeds off the pages. I am consumed by every encounter they share. It’s like Caden and Greyson live in their own little world and everything around them is just white noise. Greyson is stronger and more determined than ever to stick by her husband’s side through better or worse. Caden continues to put his beautiful wife on a pedestal, he realizes she is the glue he needs to stay sane through their difficult journey. I’ve never been so excited to read cliffhangers in a series before. You know they’re coming, all you can do is ride the wave and bask in the craziness. This story has it all; truth, lies, passion, questions and more questions. We’re getting answers, but I know without a doubt CD Reiss is going to keep us hanging by a thread in the final installment. I honestly cannot fathom where we are going to end up with this incredible couple, but I will be first in line to find out!
