Broken Women

You might have met them already in Morelville, but now they get their own story. Read where Barb and Janet came from before Morelville when love had different plans.

Barb is living her great love story with her wife. They have a thriving business and are getting ready for the next move. Life has other plans and suddenly Barb is standing alone and in massive debt.

Janet, on the other hand, is stumbling from one unhealthy relationship to another. She frequently falls for unavailable women in positions in her life that then make it intolerable. She gets a phone call one day that her mother who she is not close to needs her because she is sick.

Barb and Janet meet in Morelville and chemistry burns bright. Can broken hearts heal enough to want to feel a spark?

Anne Hagan brings us back to Morelville, but no one has been murdered in Broken Women. Women is the first book in a trilogy about “Barb and Janet”. Women is Hagan's first strictly romance novel and she packs a lot of emotions in her first outing. This is a second chance at love romance (Barb) and a first time in love story (Janet). I write “first-time” for Janet as I do not consider her previous relationships to be true relationships as they were one-sided and this is the first time she is attempting a mutual healthy relationship.

Hagan gives us a solid foundation as to who these characters are and where they are when they meet. I was not even sure how Hagan would end the book, especially as I knew that there were two more in the series. This attests to Hagan's ability to draw the reader into the characters' emotions and that is a thrill.

Women can be read as a stand-alone without having read any of the Morelville Mysteries.

I received this book for free in a Giveaway and give my opinion without prejudice and voluntarily.
