In New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello’s sexy and emotional romance, a billionaire dares to invest in the riskiest proposition of his life: a second chance at love.
Single mom Heather Ellis would do anything for her adopted daughter, Ava. Even post an online reward for anyone who found the girl’s lost stuffed animal. Who’d have guessed it’d be returned by a drop-dead-sexy man with such sadness in his eyes that she had to reach out to him? To Ava, he’s a hero. To Heather, he’s a fantasy that puts at risk the happy life she’s made for herself.
It’s been five years since billionaire developer Sebastian Romano lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident. Now he’s all business. No room for emotion. Until he stumbles across that damn stuffed wolf and the beautiful single mother looking for it. Is he ready to give love a second chance?
But there’s more to Sebastian, his family, and his past than Heather knows. More than even Sebastian knows. Will the life they’re building together be challenged when the truth is finally revealed?

The Broken One is the first book in the Corisi Billionaires series by Ruth Cardello. The story is not a stand-alone exactly. While Sebastian and Heather get their happy ending, there is a little girl whose name is Judy Corisi and is still looking for answers. The story begins with her point of view and ends with her too. But the prologue, maybe one or two chapters inside the story and the chapter after the epilogue are the only chapters told from her point of view. A lot of characters were introduced in those chapters, but we don't get to know them. Honestly, it feels like this series is a spin-off and that I missed so many things
The series is called Corisi Billionaire's but it's about the Romano brothers, so I want to see what is truly going on. There is a mystery about the family of Jody's father and we don't learn a lot in this book. The Corisi name was barely mentioned in this book and it's frustrating. I want to find out why the author is keeping so many secrets and what they are so I will continue with the series.
The second problem I had with this book was Sebastian. He was acting very douche-y sometimes and I was happy when Heather was standing up to him. I did feel at some point that she was trying too hard to get to Sebastian. She is a good mom though and everything is forgiven. She loves her daughter and it was one of the best points of the book. I do feel like there was more to Ava's mother than we got, but it's probably because Judy's story has made me suspicious.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. It had a nice pace and the characters were likable, yes even Sebastian. I might not have read the future books in the series (cauz they are not out yet, duh), but I would recommend waiting until the series is finished to begin it because I feel like the mystery won't be solved anytime soon.

Ruth Cardello hit the New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers Lists for the first time back in 2012. Millions of sales are evidence that her books are akin to potato chips, addictive from the first one. She has created a multi-series billionaire world with a combination of escapism and realism that has gained her a faithful following of readers.
Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.
She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.
