- Heading back to the Texas Pride series was like heading back home, into a warm hug from your family.
- Broken Pride gives us everything we expect from a Kindle Alexander story.
- Beautiful settings, men that we can't help falling for, a wonderful love - but also we hit harder, darker times as well.
- Slade Whitaker is the movie start trying to set himself up with a quieter lifestyle - a la Austin in Texas Pride. Mason is the small town guy who has been hiding away for too long. I loved how Slade called "dibs" on Mace in front of his friends hahaha. Oh the way he was with Wyatt was funny.
- Whilst Slade is trying to keep of the public eye because of his celebrity, my heart heart for Mace as we learn why he has become so insular with his life. He is the more complex of the pair, and I love how Slade slowly opens the door of the box Mace has built around himself.
- I did find the pacing off a little bit in the middle, but that is probably just a me problem.
- I adored seeing more of Austin and Kitt, the banter between Slade and his friends, and the family that Slade and Mace form around them, blood and found family.
- I am hoping we get more in the Texas Pride series in the future.

Usually, I aim to be funny. Humor is an important part of my life. I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations (regardless of the situation), but jokes can be a tricky deal. I don’t want to offend anyone, and humor can offend. So instead, I’m going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen-year-old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been home. It was early in the night, and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died.
Weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you imagine times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother, and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have her ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness—it was her name, and she died a few weeks before Amazon announced their brand-new e-reader. She had no idea the Kindle was coming, and she would have finally gotten her name on something!
Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it… Never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event, I was lucky enough to know my friend and sometimes writing partner. I would have never gotten through those dark days without her unwavering support and guidance.
There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. For the first time in my life, I used the hand offered. I know, without question, I wouldn’t be here today without her. It takes a special person to stand beside someone at a time like that. I will love her forever. I could go on and on about the both of them, but I won’t and now you know a little more about us.
