My review of Shattered Glass by author A C Katt

Blurb:

Can love survive and be rekindled when a heart is broken like Shattered Glass?

Milo grew up in fear, hiding the fact that he was gay. Becoming a rock star with his band Shattered Glass was a dream come true. Finally lovers with Liam, the friend he'd desired since childhood, Milo worries about his image and keeping their relationship a secret.

Liam knew he loved Milo, even as a kid. But their fame and fortune can't buy him the happiness of talking Milo out of the closet, able to freely express their love. Unfortunately, a fellow band-mate with vengeance on his mind conspires to break the lovers up in the most vicious way possible, destroying the couple's relationship and shredding Liam's peace of mind.

Six years later, Liam is older, wiser, and has rebuilt his life after the devastating loss of Milo and the band. Forced into a tenuous working reunion, Liam knows his heart still belongs to Milo. Working together to uncover the web of lies that pulled them apart, now all they have to do is survive the psychopath intent on silencing Liam and his music forever.

Contains hot rock star manlove, mysterious motives, and a brotherhood of friends strong enough to forgive.

Content Warning: Graphic language, violence, sensual and explicit scenes of m/m sexuality including oral sex, anal sex/play, sex toys, forced seduction.

My Review:

Shattered Glass is not a novel that anyone should expect to read quickly.

Emotional  and draining, this is an intense read that leaves the reader aching.  How so, you might ask?  The novel begins with the story of a young Liam, who realizes he's attracted to one boy and his overwhelming desire to be in a stellar band.  Unfortunately, the vindictive rage of one will tear Liam's love from him and nearly destroy his dreams.

From there, I was drawn into a tragic and depressing world.  Granted, I know the world of Rock and Roll isn't all glamor and stars, but Milo and Liam's story brings the ugliness to light.  Their shattered love, and moments of unbelievable mistrust(brought on by vicious lies and a bully that should have been beaten by his own victims), are aching and makes the reader want to scream and shout.  Shattered Glass is a tale that makes one wonder if there can be love after so much anger and mistrust. 

Take a week and read this book, but be prepared for tears, anger, and outrage.  Despite the intensity of this m/m romance, the novel is rewarding and worth every moment of anguish and celebration.
