Broken by LaurenLayne is the second book I’ve read by this author. I loved the first book, and
this book was equally great. Isn’t She Lovely is sort of the book that comes before Broken, but you don’t really need to have read Isn’t She Lovely to read Broken,
but I think it would be helpful.
Broken tells the
story of Olivia, who drops out of college right before her senior year. She
made a mistake (which you will know about if you read Isn’t She Lovely) that she is trying to make up for by taking care
of a wounded veteran. Only problem? The veteran, Paul, is her age and she is
extremely attracted to him even with his scarred face and soul.
This book had so much to it that had me up all night
reading. The chemistry between Paul and Olivia was ridiculously awesome, even
though it was something neither of them wants. The story was funny in so many
ways, but it was also heartbreaking. I had to keep reading to find out if Paul
and Olivia would get their happily ever after together. You’ll have to read it
to see how that goes for them. But the book was awesome. It would have been 5 ♥s,
but we get the story from both points of view, and both characters often
thought the same things. I’m not sure if that was to show how similar the
characters are, but it felt like maybe there wasn’t enough of a separation
between who the characters were in some places.
Have you read any books by Lauren Layne? If not, you definitely
should. If you have, which was your favorite?
