Product Description:
Set during the chaotic beginnings of Napoleon's rule, this saga tells the story of Gabriel St. Croix, a street survivor searching for a place to belong. Abandoned as a child and raised in a brothel, he has never known friendship or affection. Hiding physical and emotional scars behind an icy façade, his only relationship is with a young boy he has spent the last five years protecting from the brutal reality of their environment. But all that is about to change. The boy's family has found him, and they are coming to take him home. Sarah Munroe blames herself for her brother's disappearance. When he's located, safe and unharmed despite where he has been living, Sarah vows to help the man who rescued and protected him in any way she can. With loving patience she helps Gabriel face his demons and teaches him to trust in friendship and love. But when the past catches up with him, Gabriel must face it on his own. Becoming a mercenary, pirate, and professional gambler, he travels to London, France, and the Barbary Coast in a desperate attempt to find Sarah again. On the way, however, he will discover the most dangerous journey and the greatest gamble of all is within the darkest reaches of his own heart.

Gabriel is a broken man who was raised in a brothel as a prostitute and doesn't think he is worthy of love. Sarah is a widow and free spirit who does not care about the conventions that life brings her. When Sarah meets Gabriel she feels a connection that few can see, even Gabriel. This is a great love story that is told mainly from Gabriel's perspective which I found very intriguing. A wonderful read!

I was a little leery to read this book considering the subject matter; I was worried it might have been too much for me. But based on the reviews, I gave it a try. And I'm extremely glad I did.
This has been one the most beautiful, heart wrenching books I have ever read. The story centers on Gabriel and the author doesn't shy away from his abuses, but it's written in such a way that it pushes the readers comfort without going past it. My heart broke for Gabriel and everything he'd been ... Read More

I had heard quite a bit about Broken Wing when it first came out. Almost all of it was good with several people comparing it to the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop (which is an all time favorite of mine). I had wanted to pick the book up and see for myself but could never find it in a bookstore when I wanted to read it. So when the opportunity came to get a copy to review I snatched it up fast. I then proceeded to devour it in about a total of thirty-six hours. There are not enough awards to throw ... Read More

Going by the rave reviews I've read here and from other places, I really, really wanted to like this book more than I ended up doing. Admittedly it was different from the usual romantic adventure fare that I've read. Gabriel was an original hero and my favorite character was Sarah. She was not only intelligent and beautiful, but she also had a good dollop of common sense. Alas, most heroines in romance novels are sadly lacking in common sense.
But something happened about two-thirds into the ... Read More

This should have been good, given the premise and historical setting and the author's ability to craft lovely sentences. Instead, it's simply tedious. I almost always finish books I buy -- if nothing else, I'm interested in trying to figure out what appealed to other readers. And when a novel has accumulated a generous number of five-stars with reviews that are more than plot synopsis, there's usually at least something that will keep me reading to the end. But this was one highly-rated slog I simply couldn't ... Read More
