I am hesitating between 1 and 2 stars, but as I finished it, two it is.
I didn't like it. I didn't like Sylvia's voice - she's 37 and reads like a teenager. There's some dissonance between what the author is telling me the character is and how the character is portrayed on page. They're two different people.
The book had a bad case of repetition, rehashing the same conversation several times - Sylvia confides in her sisters and mother individually (which makes sense), but every single one of those conversations is a different version of the same. No new information is provided in any of those dialogues.
Sylvia had me rolling my eyes several times.
So.. I didn't like Sylvia.
I liked Henry. He makes sense as a character. Sylvia doesn't.

Harlow entertains, inspires and empowers, even as she warms the heart. Unbreakable is one woman's fight song in the face of heartache. Forced to start over after a betrayal, Sylvia embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has life-changing results. Unbreakable is a story of love, a journey of hope and a voice that needs to be heard. Harlow will have readers laughing through their tears with a whole lot of naughty in between.
Amazing make lead
Wow, what an amazing loving make lead. He made this book. His love and devotion! I laughed out loud T the breakfast with Santa parts. The family is so loyal it's uplifting.

i didn’t really like any of the characters except for the male main character. this book wasn’t fun to read, rather it was awkward and boring. probably won’t read the next book in the series.
I enjoyed this second chance book. Sylvia and Henry have both been burned by previous marriages. I appreciate the sense of reality in terms of how Sylvia and Henry know each other in passing and expand on that. I wish that there had been more of a closure for Sylvia in terms of how she is professionally but I am happy she was portrayed pretty realistically. Henry seems like he is too much of a white knight but he is definitely a standard for guys. He is solid and understanding and kind.
Overall a cute read. I definitely enjoyed it.

I absolutely loved this book. I had to let it marinate for a while before I wrote this review because I loved it so much it was hard to isolate what about it was so good.
This is a great series and you should read all the books, but "Unbreakable" is definitely my favorite (although Mack and Frannie are a close second). I love how each book focuses on the MCs but still provides lots of development of the overall family storyline and the continuation of the stories of prior MCs.
But these two - wow, they really did deserve to find each other and be together. Having so much overlap in their painful histories could make it difficult for some people to move forward together. I'm not normally a fan of whirlwinds with short timelines for relationship development because it's not always plausible. But for Henry and Sylvia, the similar struggles they faced allow them to understand each other, almost in shorthand, and it does make the short timeline entirely plausible and logical. They always knew what they wanted, and both happened to be in situations where that just didn't happen, and suddenly it did. They are both great characters and are great together.
As far as tropes go, I am not a fan of the "wounded manwhore" at all (see my other reviews) - give me Henry DaSilva every single time instead - the passionate lover unexpectedly lurking beneath the mild-mannered exterior!

4⭐️- my favorite book in the entire series. The two main characters were cute together.
Sylvia and her husband are going through a divorce, and she moves home to Cloverleigh with her two children. Henry has been working with the farm for years, and is going through his own divorce after the pressure of failed pregnancies left his marriage broken.
The two form a friendship, and a bond while sharing their feelings about their failed marriages and how their dreams of families were quite different than their realities. While working together, their feeling for each other grow on a more intimate level. When faced with a decision to save her spiraling daughter, she chooses her children over Henry. He respects her wishes, until he is visited by said daughter who changes their futures.
This was an emotional second-chance story for both characters. The other sisters from the previous releases are in this book, as are Mia and Lucas! This was probably my favorite of all the books in this series thus far. The inclusion of the family, the struggles of a woman’s self-image after a divorce, the emotions from the male perspective in Henry’s disappointment and despair after not being able to have a family and divorce, strength of finding happiness after heartbreak…all told in a way that is realistic and refreshing.
