Unbreak This Heart by Betty Shreffler – Review by Michelle Austin
Unbreak This Heart by Betty Shreffler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Unbreak This Heart was an emotional 5 star read.
I was pulled right in by Alex and her story. She is trying to move forward from a life changing attack that happened over a year ago. She lost so much including her fiance.
My despair and fear have become a black hole from which I can’t escape. I fear the dark. I fear sleep. I fear what comes to me every night.
When her best friend gets her kickboxing lessons she meets Carter. He stirs things up in her she hasn’t felt in a very long time. Just when Carter thinks he may have a chance with Alex, her ex Todd shows back up in the picture. Of course things get complicated and both men want Alex, she still has feelings for Todd but also feels a little something for Carter. Who will she choose?
I quickly found my favorite in Carter he was such a strong, loving man and so badly wanted to be with Alex and give her the love she rightfully deserved. Todd was an arrogant douchebag who was all about himself and didn’t seem to care at all about Alex and her fears. And his family, ugh don’t get me started on his mother.
Tragedy doesn’t break you down, it builds you up.
Just when I thought things were going great, there is a HUGE twist that left me in tears. How could you do this to me Betty? This was quite the page turner and I was up late reading it because I had to see how it ended. I was very happy with the ending but I would love to see more from these two. The secondary characters were great, loved Alex’s bestie Jane. My emotions were all over the place. This book has made my top reads of 2018 list for sure. I highly recommend this book and I look forward to reading more from this author.
