Shattered is a six-book erotic romance series by Joya Ryan about characters who are broken in different ways and find healing through powerful romantic connections. Break Me Slowly (2013) launches the series, with subsequent entries following different couples through the same emotional territory of vulnerability and passionate recovery.
Possess Me Slowly and Capture Me Slowly followed in 2013, each focusing on a new couple dealing with different personal struggles. Destined (2014) and Renewed (2014) shifted the tone slightly as the series developed, and Corazon Herido added a Spanish-language entry to the lineup. The “Slowly” titles share a naming convention that signals the gradual nature of each couple’s journey.
The books can be read as standalones, though recurring characters and overlapping timelines reward reading in order. Ryan’s writing leans into emotional intensity and physical connection, so readers should expect explicit content throughout the series.
