Title: Fragments
Author: Nyla K.
Genre: MM Romance
Type: Book 4 of 6 from Alabaster Penitentiary series
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:

The years at Alabaster Penitentiary weren't so bad for Lexington (Luthor) Deon, except when it came to Warren (Ren) Xavier, who made it his mission to own Lex's heart. However, Ren's reputation might lead them nowhere.

I've loved Lex since book one and felt protective of him, especially given his concern for others' welfare. I appreciated that we get to see a different side of Ren with his vulnerabilities.

He’s my constant, no matter how crazy he makes me, and how much it sometimes kills to be around him, like his proximity is laced with toxic fumes.

The first half of the book felt slow, with unnecessary info already presented in previous books. The plot picked up after that, becoming truly engaging around the 70% mark. Fortunately, a lot happened after that point, taking some unexpected directions.

Fragments is a story of ambition and resilience. It would appeal to readers who enjoy MM romance in a prison setting.
