Broken Souls and Bones by LJ Andrews
5.0

You may want to step into this world if you like books with found family, forced proximity, unique magic, delicious banter, sign language rep, grumpy MMCs, slow burn, political intrigue, bodyguard trope.

I absolutely ate this book up. I’m telling you, from the very start I was mesmerized and shushing my surroundings so I could stay hidden in the pages of this book. The characters in Broken Bones and Souls mesh together so well and I loved the tension that they had from the very start. Our MMC Roark dug his way into my heart and it’s going to take a pretty remarkable character to shove him out of the running as one of my top book boyfriends. From the sign language rep, to the grumpy bodyguard trope and his possessive nature towards the FMC, he just made such a mark in this book. 

I won’t forget to go into the actual story itself, which also deserves as much praise as th characters - it was amazing. I devoured it and if I didn’t have to sleep, I wouldn’t have put the book down, it was that good. I’m losing my mind waiting for the next book to see what happens with the story and the characters and will be diving into more of LJ Andrews books in the meantime to fill the void.
