Laora's Review:

This was a new to me author, and I was pleasantly surprised by this short read. The title indeed covers the story, but in a totally different way than I expected. The dynamics between the two mc's were drama free and relaxed and sometimes spicy. I really enjoyed the writing style, well rounded and unfortunately the story was finished before I knew it.

I totally did not notice when choosing The Broken Man, it was set in the future, however the cover might have indicated it a bit. It is not so sci-fi as some other books. It feels very similar to our world just 100+ years ahead.

I am sure to check the earlier stories in the Big Balls and Brass Knuckles series. I did not feel I missed crucial information and this book, In my opinion, can be read as a standalone. However you get more background about the mc's whose names are in the titles.
