Unbroken (The Bradshaw Brothers #1) by Janice Whiteaker

 

I came to Willow Bend, Wyoming with nothing but the clothes on my back and a secret. It won't be easy hiding morning sickness and swinging emotions as the live-in chef for a wealthy tech genius, but I'll do whatever it takes to build a life for myself and my baby. Because I'm in this alone. For weeks I hold my breath, waiting for the moment I come face to face with reclusive Titus Bradshaw and have to explain my ... condition. But when our paths finally cross late one night, I discover why he's hidden away from the world. His scars are deep and far-reaching. A reminder of what he lost. Who he couldn't save. I know I should keep my distance, but Titus's calm demeanor and steady presence draw me in. Make me want things I can't have. Wish for a life that won't be mine. Because my future and his past are incompatible. He's been through enough. I won't make him suffer any more. But someone else might. Someone who's keeping a secret of their own. And they'll kill to protect it. Unbroken by Janice Whiteaker was published on February 27th, 2026. This is the first book of The Bradshaw Brothers series. 

I was given this book for my honest review from Janice Whiteaker and The Smuthood. I have to say that I have never read any books by Janice Whiteaker and I really feel like I am missing out on her writings. This book was amazing. It's such a sweet soft type of romance book that leaves you feeling all lovey dovey. While there is smut scenes, do not expect a lot of them and dark romance type. This book is sweet and I love the build up between the characters as they fall in love with each other. I really felt for both of the main characters as they both have a lot of baggage and things that they both needed to work through in the book. Though they found out that they can still love while they work through those things that causes them to be who they are. I absolutely loved this book and I highly recommend checking this book out. I know I am going to read some more books by this author very soon.
