Blurb:
Kenna has been let down by every man in her life.
Her first love.
The father of her child.
Her ex-husband.
Even her own dad.
That’s why she’s sworn them off. Decided it’s her and her little girl against the world. No more being used. No more disappointments.
No more broken hearts.
Then Carter Cruz rolls into her life like a knight in a shining tow truck. He’s handsome, hard-working, and a doting single dad to a special needs teen. The kind of man she didn’t believe existed.
The kind of man who makes her want to break the rules.
Her rules.
But Carter doesn’t know the truth of what brought her into his life. The danger she’s trying so hard to escape.
Leaving him is the last thing she wants to do, but it might be the only option.
Because she will give up everything to protect the one man who’s asked for nothing.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I was so excited when Samantha Christy announced that the Cruz family would be getting a spinoff series within the Calloway Creek world. After getting to know Carter as a supporting character in some of the previous books in this universe, I couldn’t wait to meet the woman who would complete Carter and Christian’s family. She came in the form of fiesty, stronger than she thinks Kenna…. a single parent herself with an adorable little girl who just captured everyone’s hearts.
Kenna gets stranded in Cal Creek when she crashes her car during a snowstorm. Carter steps up and offers to let her and her daughter stay in her basement apartment while he fixes up her car. Kenna has been burned by several men in her life — especially the ex-husband she is running from — so she’s hesitant to rely on Carter for anything. Or even trust him, for that matter.
But with his quiet, steady presence, Carter wears her down and Kenna learns that he really is one of the good guys. But when Kenna’s past catches up with her just as she’s ready to stop running, will it destroy everything?
Broken Fortune was a beautiful story. I really enjoyed the development of Carter and Kenna’s relationship, which was set against the mystery of the secret she was keeping. I also really loved the continuation of Christian and Bug’s friendship (from Tiny Precious Secrets), and was *thrilled* by the development between the two that we got in the bonus epilogue!
This book was a wonderful start to a new series, and I can’t wait to read more of the Cruz family! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
