Lauren Berg is pleased to present her new fantasy romance adventure book "Broken Souls: Love and Betrayal - Romantic Fantasy”, which is the first book in "Sandra's Romantic Affairs and Adventures Series".
"Broken Souls" is part romance, part thriller, part romantic adventure, and tender love story. It’s filled with complicated but believable characters, placed in an almost unimaginable setting. If we've done our job, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll feel the thrill, hurt and disappointments of young love.

Sandra Baker is a beautiful, intelligent, and determined young woman. Half Japanese, she gets her soul from her brave ancestors. At an early age she displays a prodigy level for Kendo, the Japanese martial art that means literally, “the way of the sword.” Simply by watching her Great Uncle Ichirou, she commits the delicate and precise kata movements to absolute perfection and mimics them perfectly despite her tender age. Her proficiency leads to a fascination with Japanese history, ancient bladed weapons, and archaeology. Through a friend of her father’s, she is awarded an internship at an archaeological research firm to supplement the scholarship she so desperately needs to pay for a college.

Her need for diversion from the frustrations of work and a highly confusing love/hate relationship with her wealthy and dangerously good looking supervisor send her prowling through the street markets and garage sales off Chicago’s West Loop. A mysterious picture of the old castle on the hill will send Sandra on a fantastic journey into a dangerous world where slavery and seduction walk hand in hand and half familiar creatures rule the primeval forest.
Join Sandra on her fantasy romance adventure through the love and fight in the mysterious, fabled world of Tărâmul Celălalt. We think you’ll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Broken Souls- READ IT!

Broken Souls is an expertly written romantic fantasy that taps into your emotion and makes you want to read more. You can tell right off the bat the author has a gift and you won't be disappointed.

This book had me from the magically written prologue and I loved the transition right into SANDRA!

The contrast of characters and attention to detail intrigued me. Many books I've read miss the details and lose out.

Sandra is "tough" and beautiful. When an author brings in telepathy and forces powerful and unexplained you are in for a wild and wonderfully adventurous ride.

My recommendation is you read this book of you are looking to escape into mystical mind power romantic fantasy. You will be glad you did! Nice Job!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great adventure.

Follow Sandra to a new dimension with "rules" that make the land rather animalistic. Filled with adventure, science fiction, history, romance, thrills and lust, this book is sure to have you on the edge of your seat. I am personally not a fan of the overly graphic nature of many of the sexual "scenes" however, many of them added to the drama of the story line creating character development that enhances the story. (It is really only my personal preference of not having those "scenes" which causes me to rate it at a 4 instead of a 5 star.) The books itself is very well written. The author seems to have a fast knowledge of history and legendary myths of various cultures, making the book very well rounded. Very fun overall story.

This romantic adventure story is well written, with great character development, and an interesting plot. The story was a little slow to start, but once it picked up, it was really captivating, and it was hard to put it down. The main character, Sandra, is very sympathetic young woman that suddenly found herself in a strange and dangerous Tărâmul Celălalt world. She has to fight for her life and for her love. The story is filled with a tender romance and fast-action thriller with unexpected plot twists.
I recommend this romantic action novel for a pleasurable read.

First of all I love a good love story that carries the reader along with a very strong plot. This book certainly fit the bill for me. I found it intriguing and could not put it down once I started. The author has a wonderful way of grabbing your interest from the start and keeping you involved with the characters and story all along. Definitely a good read for the love story enthusiast - with a nice sci-fi twist!

Enough memorable scenes. "Broken Souls" is one of those few stories that has it all: Action, romance, drama and brilliant twists. Not to mention the wonderful setting throughout the plot. Lauren's scene is nothing short of pure brilliance. I was happy with the ending, and I'm glad it ended the way it did. We've come to not expect that type of ending anymore. This along with numerous other reasons too long to explain here is why I truly believe "Broken Souls" is one of the best stories i have read this year .Period.

I'm a huge fantasy/sci-fi fan, and Berg definitely delivers with this novel. I was captivated by Sandra and the fascinating characters that people the world the author has created. Equal parts adventure, mystery, and love story, I didn't want to put this book down; Berg weaves Japanese martial traditions and culture into an engaging and thrilling read. I definitely felt immersed in the atmosphere of the book and drawn to Sandra's quest.

Well-written and well-researched! I recommend this to any avid fan of unique fantasy.

Everyone I know loves a good fantasy novel and this one delivers in a big way. From the very first page, you will want to know what is going to happen next and you will have a hard time putting this book down. I can't wait to read the next book in this series and to see more from Ms. Berg. I highly recommend this book.

Broken Souls: Love and Betrayal is a well written story which draws you into the world of young Lauren Berg. I like the Japanese culture verses American culture aspect and the martial arts angle works well to create some sort of dynamic tension between fighting and the pursuit of love and romance. This is a well written, engaging read…

It was the picture of a mysterious, old castle on the hill that lured young Chicago woman into the dangerous adventure. There was something otherworldly about this castle that forced Sandra to immerse herself into this thrilling world. What is waiting for her there, love or death? Read the book and find out! The mystery aspect is compelling and the story is captivating. It definitely keeps the reader’s attention. I’m looking forward to reading the next story of this series.

A parallel worlds fantasy romance made far more exciting by well-researched details of Japanese martial arts culture, and a rogue DoD project. And then there's Gronk, an iguana that can speak. A thoroughly enjoyable read - I'll be looking out for more tales from Lauren Berg.
