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.

Unbreak This Heart
By Betty Shreffler
5 Stars!

Seriously, where has this author been hiding? This book was fantastic!! I’ve read books by this author but this is by far my FAVORITE!! I couldn’t put it down and I kept on the edge of my seat to see what was happening next.
This book is about Alex and Carter. They are wonderful main characters and I felt like they were relatable.
Alex is such a strong main character. She goes through something that no one should ever go through but honestly she is stronger because of it. Even if it takes her a while to realize that. She is slowly trying to figure who she is suppose to be and what she is supposed to be doing with her life. And in comes Carter..
Man oh Man, this guy is sexy. And he’s the kind of sexy that make the ladies around him few sexy about themselves too. He wants Alex in his life, but he just had to convince her that she belongs there.
Things are rocky for them for a while. Alex isn’t sure what she wants for her future and when her ex shows up and tries to ruin everything that she’s built for herself, she might not come out standing on the other side.

This book is one that will capture your attention from the beginning and It keeps it there, making sure you are still Turing the pages.
I would absolutely recommend this to a friend!

I’ve read other books by this author and have always enjoyed the tales that are weaved.

I was half way through “UNBREAK THIS HEART” before I realized what the title was about. (I also sing a song every time I say the title). It’s about retaking your power and moving forward. This book is certainly about healing.

There were times during this story that I laughed and cringed and cried and sighed. There is a particular character who I wanted to throat punch. There is ugliness and beauty in this story.

It was a bit of a longer book than I remember the author writing in other books – but that could just be my impression.

I recommend this book.

Unbreak this Heart by Betty Shreffler is the first book that I’ve read by this author and I was blown away! This book discusses such a sensitive subject and the author told the story so powerfully.

Alex is trying to break herself out of the hole she’s been in for the last year. She steps out of her comfort zone and starts kickboxing lessons. She doesn’t expect the instructor or how comfortable she is with him. Alex can’t even think about starting to date again and yet she has two men vying for her attentions now after running into her ex-fiancé. She’s not sure she can handle being with either one of them but she’s slowly realizing only one of them can make her feel like the old Alex.

I absolutely love this book. There was so much emotion, I was feeling the emotions for Alex. I was rooting for her! The characters are portrayed so well. This is such a powerful story. It serves as a reminder for people who have experienced Alex’s pain, that it doesn’t always have to hurt and you can take your life back. I’m in love with this book!

If anyone ever asks me what I want in a book boyfriend my answer will simply be go read Unbreak This Heart and meet Carter…

What a book! What an author! This is not my first read by Betty Shreffler and it won’t be my last..and Im not just saying that, I truly mean that. I love her writing style and her books flow so nicely. Ill admit at one point during the story my whole day was ruined but I kept the faith that this author would not do that to me and whether it turned out like I thought it would or not she wrote a beautiful story. It wasn’t always an easy story to read as far as content but it was handled so beautifully.

Do yourself a favor and pick this book up, it is amazingly awesome and I loved the characters in this story, even the one I truly didn’t like, there always has to be one and this character was done perfectly. I was shocked at the outcome of his part of the story, it wasn’t what I thought was going to happen and I’m actually thankful for that.

I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!

Fantastic!!

Unbreak This Heart by Betty Shreffler is at the top of my Favorite Books of 2018, I recommended every romance lover to read this book.

I am not going to tell you too much about this book I will just say – This book will commune you with its flawless emotional writing, it will fill you angry at all the BS in one person’s life. And if you find the right person and fight hard enough, you will have the strength to move forward and have the life you have always wanted.

Before reading this book, make sure a glass (bottle) of wine and box of tissues are nearby. If what I said and the blurb don’t have you one-clicking this book then I don’t know what to say.

Unbreak This Heart by Betty Shreffler is a fantastic contemporary romance that captured my heart in so many ways. This is an exceptional story of love and loss- being broken and learning to live again! Oh my! This story broke me, tossed my heart from my chest, stomped on it- then scraped me back together again!! I really recommend that you don’t go anywhere near this book WITHOUT a huge box of tissues and a bottle of wine! Trust me, you are going to NEED them!

I can always rely on Ms. Shreffler to deliver “the goods” when I dive into one of her books. She makes her story and characters so easy to love- her words coaxing me further into the story with every turn of the page- and holding my attention with her sexy, emotive and engaging style.

I felt for Alex, my heart ached for what she had been/was going through. She really had been through the wringer! She is so much stronger than she gave herself credit for! Then there’s Carter <sigh><swoon>, what a man, he’s really perfect- and just what Alex needed to help her heal. I loved his family, too! Jane was such a fantastic addition to this story- who wouldn’t want her as their BFF!! Todd on the other hand, needs a good running kick to his…….

There was some sensitive topics included in the storyline, which were handled in a careful, but realistic manner.

I wonder what Ms. Shreffler has in store for us next???

Awesome!

 

Thank you, Ms. Shreffler!

Fire On The Farm (Second Chance Cowboy Romance) by Betty Shreffler

5 stars

Amy Flanders had it all, a man she loves and who loves her in return. Life is perfect on their farm until tragedy strikes and she is left alone to pick up the pieces. After two years she finally has her life back on track running her own business taking care of and training horses. She has her family and her friends and although she misses him daily she has resigned herself to a life of independence living on nothing but her memories.

Brock Baisdin runs his own construction company, has a great family and good friends. He has become very picky when it comes to women after suffering through a really bad break up. He’s not looking for love but he isn’t opposed to it if the right one comes along.

Amy agrees to meet a friend for dinner, when he doesn’t show up Brock steps in to rescue her from being completely stood up. After a few drinks and shooting pool they realize their attraction is too strong to deny. Her guilt weighs heavy on her mind and has a hard time accepting these feelings she hasn’t had in over two years. Brock knows there’s a lot he must overcome to be in Amy’s life and feels up to the task. As their connection grows and they spend more time together something and somebody threatens everything they are trying so hard to build. Painful memories re-enter, she can’t live through another loss but looks as though she will have to. Will circumstances and others interference bring all the painful heartbreak back? Can Amy and Brock get their happily ever after? Can they learn to trust in what they are feeling?

I can only think of one word to describe this story, Brilliant, every word, every twist and turn of this book was amazing. I felt every emotion while reading this book. I cried, I laughed, and I all but threw my kindle at the wall a couple times out of anger and frustration. I loved these characters and didn’t want the book to end. Thank you Betty Shreffler for an amazing story…going in my to be read again folder for sure. Loved it!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy Flanders didn’t know how to go on, she has had to endure something someone so young should never have to go through. The loss of the man she loved from a horrible accident has left her reeling. After love and patience she is pulling her life together. Amy Flanders has decided to throw herself into what she loves best and turn it into a business dedicated to training and caring for not only her horses but for horses that need love and nurturing and time to mend. After a stressful day Amy finds herself left alone at a pub after being cancelled on, that is until a handsome stranger steps through the door.

Brock Baisdin spends his time working his own business and for the most part enjoys it but something is missing. After stepping through the door of the pub he is instantly drawn to the blue eyed beauty sitting by herself. After learning she has been left alone Brock decides to step in and help her out because he wants to get to know this woman. After a great time and no longer being able to contain their attraction they find themselves in each other’s arms.

Amy finds herself trying to reconcile her feelings from the past and feelings for a possible future. Brock knows what he wants and he wants to be the man that Amy Flanders can love again. He wants to be the man to see her smile and find her love of life again.

Will Amy be able to put her past behind her? Will Amy let go of her fears? Will Brock be able to show her how to love again? Will Amy lose her second chance at love?

This is a sad and yet beautiful story of love and loss. Of overcoming fears to put yourself out there for another chance at love. This book will make you cry and is full of so many emotions, at times I wanted to slap sense into people but could not stop reading. You know it’s a good story when you get emotionally involved. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Grab, read and enjoy. Oh and don’t forget tissues.
