anabelsbrother 's review for:
Broken
by Lauren Layne
pre-read:
uuuuuu sounds different than the usual Lauren Layne books. can't wait to see what this is like.
ETA: ok i just realized this is Olivia's book (a.k.a Ethan's ex from Isn't She Lovely) now i'm MORE intrigued

HUZZAH LAUREN LAYNE!
The book had me hooked from start to finish. It's different from the usual fluffy romance that is LL; the characters have issues that needed to be dealt with but both of them aren't dealing. Olivia is surprisingly likable; I forgot how I felt about her when I read Ethan's book, but I think I liked her fine, I just didn't know much about her to feel more. Anyway, I admire her guts and stubbornness, especially in dealing with the broody veteran Paul Langdon. Dude's an asshole, straight-up. She just came right in and handle him, pretty ballsy of her.
Anyway, I love seeing them grow, and I'm kinda glad that the sex/sexual tension didn't overwhelm the plot.
Spoilery quote (sort of?) :
Nice one, Mr Paul.
Anyway, it's Michael St. Claire's book next! I still don't know how I feel about him, but I'm excited all the same.

“I’m not proud of myself, Olivia. Not even a little bit. Do I wish I’d never let you go? Obviously. Do I wish I’d come to my senses sooner? Of course. And maybe if it had taken me only a day or two to clear my head, then yeah, I would have called. But when you fuck up as badly as I fucked up, for that long, you don’t call. You don’t text. You don’t email. You go to your girl and beg.”
Nice one, Mr Paul.
