Broken Aro: Book One of the Broken Ones, Jen Wylie (Untold Press, 2012)
Tom reviews Broken Aro, the first installment of the Fantasy Romance series, The Broken Ones by Jen Wylie. With a very appealing central character, and at least one scene that truly moved me, I suspect this is a really good addition to anyone who enjoys the genre. Continue reading
