Wow! Talk about an unexpected plot twist! I completely
thought the book was going down one path and then the author totally shocked me
with the direction she went in. Nearly Broken turned dark—real dark. I was
shocked by what ended up happening to the main character and couldn’t stop
reading. I need the sequel now!
To start off my review, I would definitely say Nearly Broken
is not for the faint of heart. I was seriously disturbed by some of the latter
scenes and I may end up having nightmares for a few weeks until I recover.
Based on the beginning scenes, I was expecting a cutesy love story and that
definitely wasn’t what I got.
I never felt more for a character than Megan. The horrors
she had gone through was imaginable and I responded to her strong sense of
survival. I normally don’t cry in books, but I definitely found myself choking
up during several intense scenes. I also loved the hero Nick. He was sweet and
protective and I could see how much he cared for Megan.
If you’re looking for not your typical romance novel, then I
highly recommend Nearly Broken. I was in a bit of a book rut and the story
snapped me out of it. Can’t wait to read more from the author!
Rating: 5/5 Stars
