Broken Trust by R.A. Smyth
4.0
Seriously loved it
I was just looking for a book with a heroine who has a tragic/traumatic backstory when I stumbled on this on, and I can say it was everything I needed.
While a lot of the fMC’s past is still a mystery, you get enough hints to start to piece it together. I love how she’s strong, while also obviously being quite broken.
I really like the guys, although the whole deal with their parents is a bit vague but you do get more information while the story goes on.
The only ‘bad’ thing I found, was that the fMC’s intentions during like the first half of the book were revealed in the second part, while you read most chapters in her POV. I get wanting to keep the mystery, but I feel like that’s hard to do while writing in 1st POV, and for me all those revelations felt a bit like an afterthought and should’ve been more integrated in Hadley’s thoughts. Now it feels a little bit like the author decided halfway through to change Hadley’s intentions. Despite that, I absolutely loved the book!!
