In the year since Ellie escaped The Scientist’s ghastly dungeon, she still can’t stop looking over her shoulder. Or stop feeling guilty over the man who sacrificed so much to save her.
He lost everything. His career, his aspirations—even part of his body. It’s no wonder he wants nothing to do with her. Too bad he’s the only man she can think about.
Lucas has vowed to stay away from Ellie, but not for the reason she thinks. The woman he craves doesn’t need to waste her life taking care of a man with a missing leg, not when she needs to focus on her own healing.
Despite the best matchmaking attempts of the Men in Blue—and their wives—the emotional and physical gap between them seems uncrossable. Until Ellie is threatened again, and the only choice is to work together until she’s safe.
But to stay in the land of the living, they’ll both have to fight through their pain—and relive a few nightmares—to guarantee their demons won’t destroy her future.
Warning: Contains an alpha male with a broken body, but whose best bits are in fine working order. And a woman who survived hell, and is determined to fit enough of their jagged edges together to make a whole. Vivid PTSD flashbacks of sexual violence could be disturbing for some readers.

I was given this ARC for an honest review.
Firstly I have to say that when I see the
name Jayne Rylon, it is an automatic purchase. This series is one of my
all-time favourites. Every book in this
series I have thoroughly loved. Each one seems to get better and better and
this is no exception.
Wounded Hearts is book 5 in the Men in Blue
series. Although this can be read as a standalone, I would suggest if you
haven't read the previous books you do so as there are moments where previous
happenings are referred to.
This is the story of Lucas and Ellie, or E
as Lucas calls her, two tormented broken souls, both determined to heal each
other and become one. They are destined to be together.
Circumstances bring danger to Ellie and it
is when Lucas, her knight in shining armour steps in to help her that they
finally get a chance to see where their relationship may go.
I love an alpha male, add in vulnerability
and sheer determination to overcome and beat the odds and you get Lucas. Ellie has overcome absolute horrors recently
and she is as damaged as Lucas. Her strength and determination to move forward
no matter the obstacles was inspiring. Lucas is able to help Ellie fight the
nightmares that plague her from her horrific past. A true hero in so many
ways. He makes me melt.
The chemistry between Lucas and Ellie is
scorching. The flames almost jump off the page as you read. It was
heart-warming to watch their love grow throughout this book. I can't remember
when I cheered so hard when a couple finally realised that what they had was
forever.
So many emotions were evoked whilst
reading. I laughed, I cried, I was fearful and I am so in love with Lucas and
desperately want to be his E.
Another brilliant addition to what is one of
my all-time favourite series. Well done Jayne Rylon you have another winner on
your hands. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
I highly recommend this book and
wonderfully talented author. Take a chance if you haven't yet read this series,
you won't be disappointed.
Jayne Rylon's stories usually begin as a daydream in an endless business meeting. Her writing acts as a creative counterpoint to her straightlaced corporate existence. She lives in Ohio with two cats and her husband who both inspires her fantasies and supports her careers. When she can escape her office, she loves to travel the world, avoid speeding tickets in her beloved Sky and, of course, read.
