Shattered Love – the first book in the Forever us series. Review by Natalie Hanley
Bria du Mont and Damien du Sky have been in love as long as they can remember, and Damien is planning to propose on her 18th birthday so that they can be forever together. Then one night a cataclysmic event pulls them apart and shatters them both. How can they recover? Both bury themselves in work but can’t resist each other and at different periods through the book they find each other and rekindle their passion.
I really wanted to love this book, but I couldn’t bring myself to feel empathy for the main characters. Bria and Damien loved each other but couldn’t see past one event. I found their conversations quite difficult to follow and the way they discussed their past felt too lengthy and a bit forced. I didn’t really get a sense of where the book was based. Were they in Zurich, London or New York. There was no real base or explanation of where the characters came from or where they lived. I would have liked a little more back story but I guess this might be because this is a series and the author will reveal more as the series goes on.
What I liked was the idea that Bria had a father-figure to turn to when she was abandoned by her own family but I would have liked more explanation of who he was and why they were such good friends. I think this may appeal to romance fans but it was not my cup of tea.
