Maverick trauma surgeon Ashton “Snow” Frost keeps the world at a distance, relying only on his three closest friends to keep him connected.

But when a ghost from their past returns to Cincinnati, Snow stands to lose everyone he loves.

Framed for murder and reeling from attacks on his friends, Snow is pushed to his breaking point.

Jude Torres won’t let the doc shatter.

The paramedic has been attracted to the doctor since he first laid eyes on him at the hospital, even if the arrogant, solitary man doesn’t fit into any of his plans.

One hot, reckless kiss shows that Snow isn’t who he appears to be. And one night together will never be enough.

Jude will fight for the doc. Fight to keep him whole. Fight to keep him safe. Fight to simply keep him.

    I write MM, MF, and MMF romances. Love is love! Some are paranormal, contemporary, and space opera. While all of my books are romantic and sexy, most lean toward erotic. But three of these books-Foretold, Forecast, and Foresworn are MF Young Adult novels. A complete trilogy that I'm rereleasing after getting my rights back from Harlequin Teen. Dweller on the Threshold is sexy, but not erotic. I love unusual stories and credit growing up in a family of curious life-lovers who moved all over the country. Books and movies full of fantasy, science fiction and romance kept us amused, especially in some of the stranger places. For years, I tried to separate my darker side with my humorous and romantic one. I published short fiction, but things really started happening when I gave in and mixed it up. When not lost in fiction, I love making wine, collecting music, gaming and spending time with my husband and two children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Jude and Snow!
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018

It took me a while to get to writing my reviews because I just read the whole series in a couple of weeks and I’m about to dive into the spin-off (Ward Security). And no, I wasn’t stopping to write my reviews between the books. Honestly, this series is pretty damn perfect for me – a well written, believable suspense plot; a series that continues a story without a major cliffhanger and involves all/most of the characters throughout the series; depth of character which this series has IN. SPADES.; witty banter that is entertaining but NOT over the top; and super-hot sexual chemistry! I feel like I’m in the minority usually but I love dual points of view…in this series we actually get multiple points of view in some books and I am a-ok with that.

While each of these books leans toward the relationship development of one couple, all the characters are in each book and they are definitely not standalones. I liked this book better than Shiver primarily because the relationship between Snow and Jude is settled by the end of the book unlike what we got with Lucas and Andrei. Snow and Jude have amazing sexual chemistry and Jude seems to settle the restlessness Snow always feels. Jude is domineering when Snow needs that but also gently loving when that is needed. They just work.

There is quite a bit of heartache in this one (that was spoiled for me because I read book 1 of Ward Security first without knowing not to) which will lead to some heavy emotions and healing in the next book.

Definitely a must read in my book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Shattering & Scorching
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2019

I absolutely loved "Shiver," the opener in this series which featured Lucas and Andrei, and wherein Ashton ("Snow") Frost was introduced. But even though that tome was extremely intense in both plot and sexual activity, I was completely unprepared for the intensity of the plot and sexual activity in this book.

That's because I did not expect the hookups-only Snow to suddenly become vulnerable to a potential relationship until the authors introduced us to Jude, who is a brilliantly crafted character and a perfect foil and catch for Snow. In effect, it is a match that mimics that of hookups-only Lucas and Andrei in "Shiver" with the caveat that Jude is openly gay and Andrei was latently bisexual until he met Lucas.

Jude is an EMT and Snow is a trauma surgeon at Cincinnati Hospital and their paths cross here and there but crash together when an extraordinarily violent vehicle incident sets the plot afoot and explodes the relationship of Lucas, Snow, Rowe and Ian, a relationship beautifully detailed in "Shiver," one in which Lucas' lover Andrei eventually becomes a member of this family. Ironically, Jude occupies the same cultural outsider's role as did Andrei--both are sons of immigrants (Andrei's is Romanian and Jude's Spanish-Greek) which adds a completely unique spin to the backgrounds of the other four.

In any case, this plot includes remnants of the dastardly deeds and individuals from "Shiver," but diverts into sickening criminality that may give you pause--and in my case completely shocking since I thought I was familiar with the cultural interactions of the Cincinnati-Covington area. But I was wrong.

But at its core this is a deeply moving and completely realistic love story between two men who have always been dominant in life and in bed, but who are smart enough to realize that the events both of them have gone through are leading them to understand that it may be today you have always lived for but it's really tomorrow which holds the opportunity for living it better.

Brilliant, just brilliant, and I immediately bought the short story sequel and will get the rest of the series after I recover from each one.

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017

I started this book expecting to like it as little as I did the first one in the series. Well....was I ever wrong! THIS BOOK ROCKED! Seriously.

So. Snow & Jude. Talk about chemistry. These two had it in spades. Their scenes together were blinding HOT. (Honestly, I lost my vision more than once. Jude was simply a hot Spanish-Greek-American alpha marvel. He had Snow enthralled. And Snow enthralled is a very good thing for everyone involved. That includes you, the reader. So, ya, they worked me. A lot.

The plot. Hey, there was one. How about that? Way to go authors, not only did you write up interesting characters, but you made things happen. Sad things. Creepy things. Bad things. Horrible things. But it worked.

The writing was much better than in the first book. Also, I only rolled my eyes ONCE at a seemingly uneducated reference to sexual identity. The first book was loaded with heteronormative misconceptions. This one wasn’t. Again, yay authors.

So what does this mean? It means that I’ll spend my money on the other books in the series....although I SERIOUSLY LOVED Snow and Jude together. But.....since this is a cast ensemble type of series, I’m positive they’ll be around for the long haul.

Let me tell you I enjoyed Shiver, Lucas and Andrei were beautiful together but Snow and Jude scorched my kindle with all of their passion and heat for one another. You get unbelievable heartbreak and suspense and a brotherly chosen family that is absolutely swoon worthy with the introduction of Jude’s sweet family and Shatter is a definite 5 star read! Can’t wait to read the next book in the Unbreakable Bonds Series!

Reviewed in Germany on October 5, 2018

„Shatter“ manages to surpass the action, emotions and passionate scenes from „Shiver“! Dr “Snow” Frost seems rude and arrogant, but it is just one of his many safety mechanisms keeping everyone at bay exept his friends. Then someone malicious from their shared past returns to Cincinnati and is determined to shatter his and his friends' lives. Snow is pushed way beyond all his safty walls when being framed for murder while beating himself up for not having been there for Rowe and Melissa. But the hot paramedic Jude Torres just steamrolls over Snow's protests and arrogance and holds him tight.

As soon as I had finished „Shiver & Lucas“, I knew, I wanted, no needed more of Snow. I had been so curiouse, who would be the special one, finally capturing and melting his frozen heart. Jude's character took me by surprise though. He comes off as an easy guy, dedicated to his work, loves his family and supports his friends. But he also is strong, determined and has a natural sexual dominance. After that first unexpected kiss with Snow, Jude stays at Snow's side and fights for and with him. That impressed me and made me realize how well the hot paramedic fits into the though unbreakable bond guys group.

I have to admit, the erotic scenes had been a bit toooo... many for my liking and I was really tempted to flip through some of those passages to the action scenes. Gosh, I felt so worried about Rowe and was as relieved as his friends, when he returned to the showdown. Jude's colleage Rebecca and his mother brought a light, fresh breeze to all the darkness and angst. Again the crime part was not too thrilling and the ending felt rushed. Still it cristalizes that there is someone bigger behind the scenes attacking the close 4 friends, so I am anxious what creepy, horrible things will await the guys next.

What do you say about a book that tore you up?
Shatter is hot. The two leading men Jude and Snow are hot as heck and together well good lord I needed a minute to compose myself. They are spectacular together. Though how they fit together was unexpected.
But as much as it's about sex, it's about family. Actually more so. Shatter continues what Shiver began and what is core to Unbreakable Bonds it shows what people are willing to do for family, what a family is. Ms Gidget is as much a part of this family now as Jude and Andrei. I would not want to be the man that messes with her. But Shatter gave us a look at Lucas and Snow's shared past that almost destroyed me. My heart broke for both of them (and made me want to kill Lucas for his loyalty). Ian too his past is crushing and Devour is going to be soul destroying because of it. Torch is intriguing but I fear a little predictable given where we are now, especially given the blurb.

Shatter is basically what it looks like. MLM with a seriously hot paramedic, and an even hotter but emotionally damaged doctor. If that appeals to you then read it. It can be read stand alone but I recommend Shiver first. It explains the relationships between the four central men and gives events in the book extra gravity.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute page-turner that unleashed every delicious 'shiver' book one promised and a hero that shattered my heart :)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 28, 2016

It's no secret amongst my reading group that book one in the UB series felt like an untapped goldmine to me and I was left with an HFN I did not believe in one iota. However, I also said I would read the second because I wasn't blind to the potential, the four leads were deliciously alpha, and the actual writing was fantastic. So here we are.

And, wow. Just...wow. I'm utterly amazed at how well the series concept came together, where I once thought it somewhat messy and unfocused. I couldn't feel that unbreakable bond between the four leads in book one - here you get it in spades and so everything becomes clearer, whether it be motivation, conflict or desire. I hadn't been able to feel any true loving romance in book one and yet 'Shatter' brimmed with it. From all angles. Even Lucas and Andrei won me over within several pages and the entirety of their book failed to do that. I can't even explain it, this book just worked. It was brilliantly done. So kudos to the authors for pulling it together so tightly and delivering the promise of not one but the first two books. I do hope the few who were put off by Shivers slow pace and lack of HEA give this series another shot. It would be a crying shame to miss Snow's amazing journey to disovering love. Speaking of....

Holy heck balls!! Snow and Jude people! These two were perfect for each other. I loved LOVED them both. What amazing characters: fully fleshed out, unique and fascinating people. And the pages they shared....caught fire, I swear. Snow was the one who shattered my heart, who I desperately wanted a true hero for. Not Lucas. Sorry, he wasn't enough for Snow in my eyes. But Jude. OMG Jude. Yes! For me, he took this book from great to amazing. He had this deep integrity, a beautiful moral strength and a kind of masculine power that seemed to heal all the dark shades of Snow's soul. I could literally feel their chemistry and passion and yes, love. Even before it was declared, I could feel it. That, my friends, is good romance. And for those readers who like meaningful, unique, character-enhanced love scenes, every one in this book says 'Snow & Jude', every one is perfectly delicious.

All in all, this one is a true keeper and I can't wait for Rowe's book.
