dnf'd after the couple split up near the end almost entirely because it felt unrealistic and trite that they'd get back together. perhaps I'm a Grinch but whatever.

This book was very very good.. when it started I swear the I was so against the MC for the attitude but she grew on me after understanding her story throughout.. The ex husband tho he can rot seriously.. So happy it worked out for all towards the end.. I can’t wait until the next release in this series age-gap/ice Queen books are my weakness

I really enjoyed this lovely romance. I think I'm becoming a fan of the Ice Queen trope. Maybe I always have been but didn't realize it until right now... I did fall in love with Radley's Holly series so maybe I've been in denial this whole time!
Anyway, Broken Beyond Repair held my attention all the way through, the characters felt complex and real, and I loved them and cheered for them.
For the most part, the language was beautiful. I love a romance that uses more complex vocabulary. My only complaint was the regular descriptions of what someone's lips were doing. Being pulled in, pressed together, slid to the side, etc to express some emotion when it was already implied or could have been in another way. Seems small but repetitive mentions of anything will pull me out of a story so it was a bigger deal for me. Not a deal breaker but not nothing...
Still, I will most definitely read other works by Banting. Loved this one!

What a wonderful book. Immediately going into my favourites. I love a slow burn, and this was brilliant. So much humour and emotion, and such loveable characters. A must read.

Cute! A little long-winded at times but adorable love story
