Some people search their whole life for a connection -- a reason to be here, and feel
life in all of its intensity.. But what if you never wanted to experience that emotion?
Jasper lived his life coldly determined never to fall in love. Some people impact your
life in a moment, and will stay in your life forever from then on. What if an
irresistible force crashes into you -- not once, but twice, and from a totally
unexpected source? Jasper must overcome past demons that are still plaguing him
and his friends. He must face future choices he never knew he would have to make.
Sexual chemistry can come in all forms. When the lines blur between friendship,
love and lust, a new darkness finds its way into their lives. Either these relationships
survive or die forever broken ......in The Broken Parts of us
 

EXCERT:



Derek
People think death is the worst thing that can happen, but it’s not, it’s the
living that other people have to go on doing once someone we love is taken
from this world. It’s the what ifs that constantly replay in our minds. It’s the
did they know I loved them? What would they be like if they were here now?
How do I get up today and live with this agony?
The only thing that makes it slightly easier is having family to live for, to
love, to get up and go on coping for. River has become like a sister to me.
She fills a void left by my own sister; her death still plagues me and I feel
responsible for her taking her life. River and I share this same grief. We’re
bonded by a shared misery; a painful sorrow that is a part of us.
Sammy has become like the brother I never had. We share a love for River,
but also we are survivors. We’ve both looked the devil in the eye and lived to
breathe another day.
Jasper; he’s a different story. I struggle with how I feel about him. At first,
he was just part of the River/Sammy package, and his constant string of easy
whorish women grated on my nerves. But over time, I noticed subtle
changes in him; the way he adores River and listens intently whenever she
speaks; not like a boy with a crush, but like a child worshiping an enigma.
He’s fiercely loyal to Sammy, a trait I respect


REVIEW:

I loved, loved The Broken and was so happy when I got my hands on The Broken Parts of Us.  

Jasper is Sammy's best friend and he's a man whore and rude. He is HOT and a lady's man. He never wants to settle down, he's happy playing the field and likes it that way, until Hannah comes into the picture.  

Derek is the detective that had an attraction towards River in The Broken, but knew she was off limits and helped her bring down her psycho ex-boyfriend. He is a total dominant male.  What Derek wants, Derek gets!

Kyra is a dance instructor at River's dance studio and she is a beautiful woman who will have any man's eye look her way. She has long red hair and a beautiful body made for a dancer.  Kyra is pure and has never, ever been with a man before sexually.  When she meets Jasper she instantly feels an attraction towards him but knows he's off limits.  She also feels drawn to Derek, who is a detective and very close to River and her family.

Both Derek and Jasper like Kyra and when Kyra is being stalked, Derek is there to always help her, he feels protective of her.  Jasper gets jealous because he wants Kyra really bad, but there's just one problem.....Jasper is already committed to Hannah even though he doesn't love her but he feels that he needs to be with her because Hannah is pregnant and he will not raise a child without a family.  So Kyra knows that Jasper is off limits and decides she wants to take her relationship with Derek to a whole new level and so does Derek.

Derek is bi-sexual and he has feelings for Jasper, he just never acted on them because he didn't know if Jasper reciprocrated the feelings.  Jasper on the other hand knows he can't have Kyra because of his moral to stand by his pregnant girlfriend, but he's starting to feel mixed emotions towards Derek.  There is so much sexual tension going on between Derek and Jasper.  Kyra is torn because she has feelings for both men and she doesn't care that they love each other, she would love to be a part of that circle.  Since both Kyra and Derek know that neither one can have Jasper, they decide to pursue a serious relationship between them two and Jasper gets crazy jealous because he wants them both too and can't believe that Derek would chose Kyra over him.  

But there's always a happy ending to a story and there is definitely one in this story!!

I loved the story between these three characters, but more so about Jasper and Derek.  I never saw that coming!  I thought maybe that they were both going to fight for Kyra and end up with her but not all three together as in everyone does everyone here!!  But over all, I have to say the plot was great and the love between these three characters was awesome!  

Ker really knows how to write a book and I give her my 5 stars -- hands down!!

SYNOPSIS:

When River’s already broken life shattered further on her sixteenth birthday, she
was forced to be with the wrong best friend of her brothers. She was meant for
Sammy but circumstance and black mail forced her into a relationship with Danny, a
troubled, abusive partner. Leaving the only boy she ever loved to flee. Now four
years later he has returned. When her feelings and missing parts of herself that left
with him return also, loyalty, restraint and love will be tested. Can she find a way to
leave the threatening clutches of Danny, to finally be saved by her childhood love?
Or will Danny’s hold on her tighten when more life shattering events consume their
already troubled lives? 

When Sammy returns home, after four years of being away from the girl that broke
his heart, he’s not prepared for all his old feelings to force their way straight back
into his heart. Questions that were left unasked when he left begin to plague him,
when the sudden relationship between River and Danny all those years ago seems
all the more confusing now. Secrets, mistrust and Danny’s possessive behavior
sends up red flags and Sammy begins doubting himself for leaving in the first place.
When the spark between Sammy and river finally ignites it will leave explosive consequences for everyone
