A good introduction to the Loveless, Texas series, Unbroken engages you from the very first page. Addiction, drama and great characters, I will be looking to read more of this series

Unbroken é um prequel que tem o intuito de dar início a nova série da autora Jay Crownover Loveless Texas. Esse é um livro curtinho,que conta uma história fofa mas que serve mais para preparar a gente para essa nova série .

Eu gostei muito dessa história , é curta fofa e com um toque de suspense. Crew e Della são personagens fáceis de simpatizar e a ideia de opostos se atraem apesar de ser clichê funcionou muito bem aqui . Eu acho que a relação deles foi um pouco rápida demais e gostaria de ter visto um desenvolvimento maior. Mas acho que esse livro serviu o propósito que é despertar meu interesse por essa nova série é ficar de olho no próximo livro dessa série que contará a história de Case , irmão de Crew e também o xerife de Loveless Texas.

Thanks to NetGalley for this delightful start to a series ARC. I absolutely love a story with characters that do not have insta-love or immediate connection. In this story there connections evolves throughout the book. Can't wait for more!

Unbroken by Jay Crownover is the first novella in her brand new Loveless, Texas Series.
Meet Crew Lawton. He's an ex-rodeo rider, a risk taker living on the speeding line. He's in a lot of trouble.
Della Deveaux is a city girl through and through. She works in the beauty industry and could be Crew's saving grace.
Both have this crazy through the roof high chemistry and one thing leads to the next.

Opposites attract, they say and in case of Crew and Della it's fitting. The glitz and glamour girl and the rugged cowboy make a match that leads to an unputdownable read, flaws and all.
I recommend this first book and give 4,5 stars.

Jay Crownover has kicked off her new Loveless, Texas series with an opposites attract tale that checks all the right boxes. A gambling problem has sent rodeo star Crew Lawton toppling from the top of his field. He reluctantly accepts a modeling gig, the face of a new high-end men’s line, as a means to an end. He’ll do anything to pay off his debts and be free of the bookie who is now threatening his family. Della didn’t want Crew for her ad campaign but once he’s dropped in her lap she can’t deny his good looks and charisma. It was great fun to watch as these two lowered their walls, dropped their prejudices, and found a connection they’d never experienced before. These total opposites brought out the best in one another. While I found the plot line with Della’s father a bit much to be believed, I was willing to roll with it because everything else was so on-point. With a sexy cowboy, a good girl ready to get a little bad, some sexytimes and a little danger thrown in, Unbroken is a great start to a new series and has me ready for more.

4 stars — This was just a fun, solid series prequel. Novellas can be tricky sometimes, in that so often I don’t get enough to feel satisfied. But I was satisfied with this one. Both characters had a lot going on with them, they were flawed but redeemable.

I felt for Della’s struggle for her father’s approval, and I could understand how that resulted in her drive. I enjoyed watching her struggle with what she thought she wanted for her campaign, and realizing what would actually work. I loved the way her personal story wrapped up.

Crew had a lot of serious issues going on with him, I didn’t quite expect it. And I feel like while Ms. Crownover didn’t dive deep into the addiction, she didn’t gloss over it either. He actually really got to my feelz with how he saw himself and his worth…

It took me a bit to get into their chemistry with one another. I’m not sure what was stalling me, but it wasn’t an immediate grab. But I thought their steamy scenes were on point eventually, and I enjoyed their relationship once it got more established.

Obviously the action/suspense was both a little over the top, and kinda perfect for the book.

I honestly have very little to say. It was fun, entertaining, enjoyable. I wasn’t blown away, but I was certainly pulled in enough to want to read more in the series.

I love to read a Jay Crownover book. She has a way with words. This was very good considering it was a novella. I am usually not big on reading a shorter read, but this one was well done!!

Starting series of Lawton brothers. Crew Lawton, middle brother, a cowboy and an adrenaline junkie who loves competing in rodeo until his luck runs out and his gambling debt will ruin him and his reputation. He needs to pay or else. So when he finds out his manager signs him up for a male skincare model, he gladly accepts.

She doesn't want to disappoint her father so she is doing her best to make sure Crew is the perfect face for her new skincare line for men.
Crew wanted to pay off his debt but his bookie doesn't make it easy on him and he is threatening to hurt his family. So he is trying to stay on task until he gets paid.
Crew and Della were total opposites but they are attracted to each other. Their sparks are flying and they give into their attraction until Della overhears Crew's phone call to his sister.
Della need to make sure she doesn't fall for people like Crew but she can't help herself. Crew is back in Loveless, Texas to take care of everything until he is in trouble again.
It was a quick read and I enjoy the relationship between Lawton siblings. I can't wait to read about his brother and his sister.
Thanks to netgalley and Forever Yours for ARC in exchange for honest review.

Unbroken is a novella, and as a series kickoff, it really does the trick. Jay Crownover sets the scene for Loveless, Texas and her character portraits are compelling and complex. The primary couple in Unbroken was so engaging, I think I might have enjoyed a full length journey with them. Hopefully they will make appearances in future books, because I feel the need to continue their story. Unbroken introduces so many intriguing characters and plot possibilities, I look forward to the first book - Justified.
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

A new Novella to break us into Jay's new series. I dig it. I do have to say though, that reading cowboys from Jay is mind blowing. She just proves she can write anything...now if she would get on a Kpop story we would be golden. This story of total opposites was great, I wanted more. Much more. It introduces us to the group we will be reading about in the rest of the series.

Crew a rodeo star who has landed himself in trouble with his gambling habits that have gotten out of hand. Now he needs to make up the money he owes and fast. For a short while he needs to be a face of a skincare line that'll give him the big bucks he needs but that includes dealing the Della. This would be your classic case of opposite attract. I thought that this was a pretty good book I pretty much devoured this book in one sitting. It took a hour or two to read. It was quicker then I expected but I didn't realize that it was a novella but with in the impression this book left I am curious to see more from this author with the series.

Well, this was fun.

We start with Crew and Della. He’s a rodeo star with a serious gambling problem, and she’s the perfect solution to his latest issue.

I liked Crew, even though I just wanted to slap him for getting into such a big problem. Come on, man. The worst is that it was also touching his family, and that’s a no-no.

Della was great as well, I loved that even though she wasn’t comfortable with this situation and Crew, she gave it her best. :-)

I loved how she helped Crew and how he showed her a passionate love, something she was lacking in her life.

It was an all in all fun read and looking forward to reading more in the series.

*Thank you to Netgalley for providing a copy for which I’m giving my honest opinion*

I love Jay Crownover and I love cowboys. This book was a fantastic introduction to a new series. I was hooked from the cover and could not put it down until the final word. I wanted to start over again once I finished. I could not get enough of Della and Crew but I can't wait for more of this series.

Filled with mystery and suspense about an anti-hero who lives in Loveless, Texas. Well a book that starts out that depressing can only get better. Right? Well I guess it depends on your definition of happy for now endings.
Crew is indebted to the type of guy who’ll easily make you pay with interest or else. He’s got a gambling issue and even having a new love interest with his boss Della is not quite enough to change. But when push comes to shove, will Crew man-up and finally do what is right for himself, his family, and for Della?
I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Crew Lawton lived by his own rules which pretty much left in trouble most of the time - but he'd never been in this deep. When he finds out about the shady deal his manager made he goes ahead with it to get the money he needs to get free.
Della Deveaux couldn't imagine what her father was thinking of signing this rough around the edges Bronc Rider to represent her men's care line that was meant for men of the upper-crust.
It takes a real "Come to Jesus" moment for everything to fall into place for Crew and Della
A really great read with some twists and turns.

Crew and Della’s story was short fun and sweet. They met by chance and knowing each other changed them a lot more than they expected, they brought out the best of each other.

Della lived for her job, she was uptight in the worst kind of way, she was certain she had no idea what having fun and letting go meant.

Crew was just about the fun and the right now kind of thrills. He had no idea what he was doing or where his life was going. And by the looks of it, he probably didn’t have a lot of time left before something ended it prematurely.

Playing model was just what he needs, easy gig, easy cash. But he wasn’t expecting her, the connection they had made everything more complicated.
If he wanted to be worthy of her he had to risk it all.

Della had no idea what she was thinking, he was wrong for her, a risky bet she wasn’t willing to take, but what is life if we don’t?

I have read a few books Jay Crownover in the past year or so and I have enjoyed them.

I loved this novella. It is well written and I was hooked from the very beginning. I did love this story and the main characters.

I can't wait to read more.

I am giving this a 5 out of 5.

This a novella to introduce us to the new Loveless, Texas series.This book is a fast read, but it packs a punch right from the beginning. Della and Crew had be invested right from the start. Crew, man that guy is dealing with things right from the get go, but the moment Della steps in his life he see the light at the end of the tunnel. One problem will his vices be the road block between them? Della needs Crew to be the best he can so her future for her company succeeds, but Crew is nothing she excepts. Both go in with preconceived notions about each other, but the outside doesn't count for all of person. Once they get skin deep what's in the inside surprises them. Crew is in a mess of trouble can he break through and end it before it ends him permanently? The characters will pull you right into this story and soon you find yourself at the end of the book. I can't wait for more from this series.

This was a great book from Jay Crownover. It was a great way to introduce these characters for the Loveless, Texas. Crew is an arrogant, down on his luck, bronco riding cowboy who just likes to gamble and have a good time. Della is an uptight city girl who loves fancy clothes and shoes and is wanting to take over the family business and have her own line of beauty products for high end clients. Her father is her obstacle and he has picked out this rough riding cowboy who is drop dead gorgeous to represent her new line and let’s just say Della is not happy. She was not wanting cowboy, she was wanting Gucci model. These are two opposite people and they both have similar goals though. This is a great book with some sexy scenes and funny situations. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more of this series.

It's been a while since I've been in one of Crownover's worlds and it was nice to be back.

Crew and Della was a fun, quick read. I enjoyed getting a taste of what's to come in Loveless, Texas. While I don't normally do novellas I was glad to have read this one.

I'm definitely looking forward to Case and Cody's book. And hopefully seeing a bit more of Crew.
