Determined to confront the nightmares hidden in her mind, she never expects to

Review:
Romantic Suspense is one of my favorite genres to read, and with Broken, Cynthia Eden has moved to the top of my list of favorite authors to supply me with my book crack!
Eve is searching for her identity and Gabe is just the man to help! Gabe Spencer created LOST for cases just like Eve's, helpless, hopeless, and defeated. Eve thinks she may be the only surviving victim of The Lady Killer, a notorious serial killer, but, with no memory of her past and who she is, how can she be sure of anything?
Cynthia Eden takes you on a fast-paced ride of murder, secrets, sin, and yeah...super hot protective guys that make you swoon! (did I just say swoon?) Just when I thought I had it all figured out....another twist was added to the story! Broken kept me entranced through-out!
Broken is the first book in a new series from Cynthia Eden, LOST, and I cannot wait to read the next, Twisted!

Excerpt
“Do you think I’m a con artist or a victim?”
“I think you’re a woman who has been hurt.” No
denying that. “One of my team members, Wade Monroe, is contacting the
Montgomery family. We’ll get DNA from them and find out—”
“If I’m Jessica.” There was hope in the words.
Enough hope to break his heart.
Gabe nodded.
“When will we know?”
It would take a few days, even with the strings
that he could pull. “As soon as possible,” he said, not wanting to give her a
specific timetable.
“Thank you.” Then, just like that, she was
across the car, giving him a tight hug. “Thank you.”
His arms wrapped around her, an instinctive
response. She smelled faintly of flowers, a sweet scent that teased his nose,
and her body was soft against his.
She tried to pull away, as if realizing what
she’d just done.
For an instant he was tempted to hold her, to
keep her close.
She’s a client. Focus.
He let her go, but his body ached.
“I … um … I should get inside.”
Yes, she should. While he was still clutching
tight to his control. The control that said he shouldn’t push her. Shouldn’t
want her so much. Not when she’d already been hurt so badly.
Her fingers reached for the door.
“Let me,” he said, voice rumbling, and Gabe
climbed from the Jag. In seconds he was on the passenger side, opening her door
for her. She rose, and her body brushed against his.
He stepped back. Distance. He seriously needed to put some
distance between then. But even with some fast steps back, he could still smell
that light and sexy scent that clung to her body. And he still wanted her.
“Your shrink asked me a lot of questions about
you,” Eve told him as she stood temptingly close.
Gabe inclined his head. “I’m sure—”
“I think she wanted to know why I respond so
much to you.”
Oh, hell, she’d just said … He cleared his
throat even as part of his body surged in quick response to her. “It’s a tense situation,
you’re—”
“You don’t look at me as if I’m a victim.”
He stopped talking.
“I mean, you know what I am, but you still look
at me and seem to just see me … as a woman.”
“Others see you the same way.” Doc Tyler sure
did. Bastard.
“It’s different with you,” she murmured as she
stepped even closer to him. Her head had tilted back so she could look into his
eyes. “I don’t know what I’ve felt for other men before.”
Why did the idea of others have his body
knotting with tension?
“But I know that when I see you, I want.” A
hushed confession. “I just … I needed to tell you that.”
And he needed to make his self-control a hell
of a lot stronger. Her lips were just inches from his, and he wanted her mouth
beneath his. Wanted her lips open. Needed to taste her.
“You’re the first man I’ve wanted since I
opened my eyes in that hospital.”
He could actually feel his control splintering. Client. Cli—
“You probably don’t want me. I—I might not be
your type.”
Now her gaze had fallen, as if in
embarrassment. Had she really just asked if she was his type? She was probably
every damn man’s type.
“But you make me feel normal again, so I had to
tell you—”
His fingers curved under her chin. “Eve …”
Her smile was a little too big. Too bright. “I
don’t think I can handle anything else right now, I’m …” She pulled away.
Stumbled onto the sidewalk. “I just wanted to tell you how I felt,” she told
him again.
Then she walked into the shelter, her steps
hurried. As if she were running.
From him.
He stared after her. She wanted him.
And she was so fucking beyond his reach.
