Broken Hearts Healed is the gratifying conclusion to The Broken Trilogy.
Can broken hearts be healed?
Betrayed by her first love Caleb Evans, Savannah Flores now mourns the death of her beloved husband, Cole. But when she’s catapulted into Cole’s construction business, she has to learn the ropes. Fast.
Caleb Evans is engaged to the beautiful and very rich Tatiana Myers, but he hasn’t forgotten the woman who broke his heart. None of his private investigators ever found Nyah Rodriguez.
Now, months away from his marriage, Caleb sees a face from the past. But her name isn’t Nyah. It’s Savannah. And his company is about to do business with hers…
Both believe the other to be guilty of betrayal… But is the truth what it appears to be? And are second chances possible?
Writer of romance. Survivor of plot twists. Dreamer of Happy Endings. Loyal to Bombay—yes, it will always be Bombay. Samantha has loved books for as long as she can remember and now spends her time creating stories about strong women and unforgettable love. When she’s not writing, she’s working in aviation, swimming laps to clear her mind, or experimenting in the kitchen—while her husband quietly wonders what he’s about to be asked to taste next.
I am baffled these days why people even write fictional "romance". Does no one these days understand the meaning & concept of what romance is? Why are ARC readers so kiss-ass to authors?

For a 2nd chance trope, this one sucked bullets. MMC was supposedly in love with FMC in the past but let scumbag mommy-dearest manipulate, lie and destroy his relationship with FMC because he trusted the evil bag over the woman he supposedly loved.
Then years later, FMC moved on & married OM and had a kid. She also has a kid with MMC who doesn't know and she doesn't tell him till the very end. Nice. He in turn is engaged to OW. So for 99% of the story, he is still with OW and planning to marry her even though he supposedly loves FMC.
On his wedding day he learns the truth what the evil witch did and he STILL goes through with the wedding. If not for OM stopping the wedding, he would have married OW. What an epic love story this is! LOL.
Should I stop the wedding? Should I tell Tatiana everything? Was I really about to marry someone while loving another woman? “Do you still want to do this?” Greg asked quietly once we were finally alone. Simon had obviously told him everything. “I don’t know,” I admitted honestly. Greg studied me carefully. “Then stop and think before it’s too late.” “We can still cancel this whole thing,” Simon added. “Just say the word.” I stared down at my cufflinks, unable to answer immediately. “I don’t know anything anymore,” I said finally. That feeling had followed me all the way to the church. And then I saw Jiya. The moment she walked toward me in that coral dress, something inside me tightened painfully. Her hair fell in soft waves over one shoulder, and even now, after everything between us, she still took my breath away. She wished me happiness with Tatiana as though she meant it, but there had been something guarded in her eyes that I could not quite read. Even then, she had not defended herself. She had not pleaded her case. She had continued to let me believe she was the one who had destroyed us while the truth about my mother sat like a stone inside my chest. Now, standing at the altar with Tatiana beside me, her hand in mine, I watched Jiya disappear through the church doors. I should have stopped her. I should have followed her. Before I could move, the heavy church doors suddenly burst open. “I object!” The truth hit me instantly. Tatiana had been cheating on me for months. I had prayed for a miracle to stop this wedding, but this was not the miracle I had wanted. I opened the door to a private room and led Tatiana inside, closing it quietly behind us. The noise from the church faded into a distant murmur, but the tension followed us in like an unwelcome guest. She stood frozen near the centre of the room, her chin trembling as tears streamed down her face. The sight of her—usually so poised and confident—sent a strange ache through my chest. I gently guided her toward the chair and made her sit down. My mind felt completely overloaded. Shock, disappointment, relief, and confusion tangled together inside me so tightly that I could barely separate one emotion from another. But beneath all of it, one truth stood firm and undeniable. I did not want to get married. And judging by what had just happened in the church, odds were she did not want to get married either. “Tatiana,” I said quietly, my voice firm but compassionate. “Do you want to get married?” Her eyes darted back and forth, searching the floor, the walls—anywhere but my face. “Forget about your parents,” I continued. “Forget about the people in the church. Forget about the media.” I paused, making sure she heard every word. “Do you want to marry me?” Seconds stretched into an eternity as I waited for her answer, my heartbeat pounding in my ears. “No,” she said, sniffling. “I don’t. I don’t want to get married. I don’t think I was ever ready.” Relief washed over me so suddenly that my knees felt weak. I bowed my head and let out a slow, steady breath, as if releasing months of tension that had been trapped inside my chest. If she had said yes, both of us would have walked straight into a marriage built on guilt, obligation, and resentment.
----- “Turns out that my fiancée wasn’t in love with me,” I said, the words tasting bitter on my tongue. “She wasn’t ready to get married.”
“I’m sorry,” Jiya whispered.
Even after everything I had done to her, there was still kindness in her eyes. Still concern.
“Don’t be,” I replied, shaking my head slowly. “I didn’t want to marry her either.”
Hmm.. one last observation. If he didn't love the OW and didn't want to marry her, why was he bitter that OW didn't love him?
Savannah Flores was betrayed by her boyfriend Caleb Evans, and now she is mourning the death of her beloved husband Cole Harris.
She is devastated and loses hopes on love. Is she supposed to spend her whole life alone with her kids? Does she not deserve love?
As Cole's final project which he was so interested in was incomplete, she takes it up in her hand and start new. As a hotelier she is new to construction, but she learns things and have the courage to do things right.
Fate always has some plans. And it loves to toy with her life. When she is about to lose entire hope in love, she meets him. Caleb Evans. But he is not her's anymore. He is engaged to a beautiful and very rich girl, Tatiana Myers.
And he thinks that, the one who is to blame is her. He is still not over her. But when he thinks that she betrayed him for money he hates her and wants to give her the pain that he endured these years. He is out on a project and there he meets Nyah, in a new name Savannah.
Both believe that the other is guilty and is at fault. But what really happened between them? Will she have a happy ending!?
Thoughts :
This was what I needed in all three books. I literally asked the author when will these happen!?There was many sweet moments i loved and it made me cry (Happy Tears). The confrontation, the realization, guilt, love, tears, the fatherly love, omg it was full of emotions.
It was all a sweet ride. I want a short story now, where this cute family lives happily and i just want to read all happy moments in there.
The last line, "Out Little Family is growing already" I was smiling and laughing and i felt so happy for them.
That was the perfect ending for a good series.
Read this series and let me know what you guys think
The final book for the Broken Trilogy opens with a grieving Savannah doing her best to help bring her late husband(Cole)’s dream to fruition while caring for her two children. Caleb, our love interest from book one, is set to marry his fiancé Tatiana. He has never truly let go of the bitterness, resentment and anger he holds towards Savannah after her departure. To refresh everyone, his anger stems from a fake letter supposedly written by Savannah but actually originated from his mother - Eleanor - as well as Savannah’s sudden disappearance. Liam, Cole’s brother, and Savannah start working on Cole’s Community Living. In a twist of fate, Caleb has his bachelor party across several islands including Cowichan Bay and meets with Liam (and Savannah) on behalf of the Evans Group. Now brought back together through Cole’s project, Savannah and Caleb are faced with their past and present feelings for one another.
At first, I was frustrated with Savannah’s response or lack of response to Caleb’s animosity and anger. Especially given their past with fiery clashes and challenging one another. However, I realized that Savannah learned so much through her relationship with and the loss of Cole Harris. So much about forgiveness, the importance of love and valuing every bit of time we have with one another. At this point in my thought process, I envied Savannah for her maturity. She could’ve immediately confronted Caleb and dished out the same venom he was spitting, but she handled the situation with an overwhelming amount of patience which (for me) translated to grace. Caleb was so deeply manipulated by his family, people he assumed he could trust without hesitation, that his rage never dulled and was completely justified in his mind. Miscommunication tropes are frustrating for me because one conversation with each person listening can solve an array of issues. However, I don’t believe anything Savannah said would’ve changed Caleb’s mind. He needed proof. He needed evidence. As a logic driven individual that can admittedly carry a grudge, I understand this.
My favorite part of this book was Cole being acknowledged, respected and loved by Savannah, Lucas, Emma, Geeta, Jack, Caleb and many more. They all took him, his life, sacrifices and love into account. This was beautifully done and, after suffering losses of loved ones recently, I truly appreciate the author taking the time to add these details in. Astonishingly beautiful.

This book is the third and final in this series and let me tell you it has been an emotional whirlwind. There has been ups, downs, heartbreak, losses, laughter and so much more! I had moments where I wanted to stick my kindle in the freezer and not open it again.. there have been moments when I couldn’t put it down. I was so grateful to be given this book by S.A Thomas in exchange for an honest review.
Let me just take a moment to talk about S.A Thomas, I haven’t known her long she first reached out to me to see if I would be interested in reading the first in the series ‘broken promises’. She is incredibly sweet, has so much passion and you can tell within her writing.
We are back with Savannah and Caleb, let me tell you I missed him in book two but my goodness were there moments I wanted to slap him in this one (book3). He was mislead, lead to believe horrible things about Savannah that wasn’t true and let’s just say he was easily manipulated by his ‘mother’.
Remember by this point Savannah has not only loved and lost Caleb, she opened her heart again to Cole who devastating pasted away leaving her a widow with her two children. She is incredibly strong, beautiful inside and out. Each day she carries on cause that’s what mothers have to do even when their hearts are breaking.
Let’s just say she never expected Caleb to come back on the seen, he doesn’t know the little girl he is seeing her with is his own. So again he jumps to conclusions that she moved on quickly and never loved him.
They are forced to work with each other on a construction project will they rekindle the love they once had? Can Caleb look past his hatred and what he thinks he knows? Can Savannah really open up her heart to getting hurt again?
This book is definitely my favourite from the series. Truths are found out, love is undoubtedly found but in what way. Grab the tissues!
This is the last book in the Broken Hearts trilogy and I will say that I am very sad to see it go. I wouldn't call myself a romance reader, but this series took me on an emotional rollercoaster in all the right ways. Shoutout to the author because I am 99% sure this is her debut series and she did a fantastic job with the characters and the story as a whole. I look forward to seeing what she writes in the future! Onto the proper review! I missed Savannah and Caleb interacting in the previous book, but this conclusion made up for their lost time and more. In the beginning, he comes across as a very petty, childish man. Not very different than how he was in book one, just with a bit more of an agenda. The pettiness can be understood after the "revelation" at the end of book one, but I feel like it could have helped if we were given more of an idea of the pain (internal and familial) Nyah "caused". I feel like, at his core, childishness is one of Caleb's main personality traits, This isn't a bad thing, because he had a lot of character development! I feel like Savannah had a lot of character development as well, in a similar way. I won't say exactly how to avoid spoilers. In book one, the couple was younger and a bit more reckless. By the end, the amount of time passed since their first meeting shows. I also love how wholesome this series is. The first one was a bit more of a, what I call, "modern" style because there was a dangerous threat and a large cast of lovable characters. In the end, it became more about Savannah and Caleb as they both figured out how to navigate an adult relationship, together and individually. The only threat in the last two books were feelings and the past, which makes it more of a sweet and tender read. Each book in this series has something that makes it incredibly special.
I accidentally read this book first. It was written in a way that I understood the plot and could connect with the characters.
With that being said, this story was a roller coaster. It had the full range of moments: sweet, suspenseful, intense, and heartwarming. I’m going back to read the first two books and recommending the series to all my friends.
I was so glad I was able to read this one right after the first two books in these series because not knowing the outcome after finishing the second book was literally killing me. And let me tell you, when you get into this one make sure you get your tissues ready. I absolutely loved this story and the emotional roller coaster that came with it. The book was very well written with all the feels imaginable.
I absolutely adored Savannah, her strength and kindness, no matter how heard her life has been with never feeling that she deserves to be loved. And Caleb, he knew that there is never going to be a perfect woman for him besides Savannah/Nyah.
I would absolutely highly recommend these series , it is a great romance read with lots of ups and downs, losses and HEA.
Savannah really shone in this book, showing that compassion, kindness and strenght are some of the best characteristics on can have. She knew what she deserved and wouldn't sttle for less, despite life's hardships! Caleb also had the chance to come clean and all that happened was explained. He knew Savannah was the love of her life and didn't want to give up on her. They both got their happily ever after and they deserve it after all they went through! This was a beautiful story of the highs and ups of love and emotional relationships and I reccomend it to romance lovers!
Book 3 in the series is the final book and it was a great read. The author has a great way of giving us characters that we love and get attached to. Savannah is a character I loved reading about, and she went through so much in this book. Her relationship with Caleb had its ups and downs, lies and deceit, but their story was one that I greatly enjoyed reading about.
The plot was great, but needed a little more development. Some scenes felt rushed while others drug on and it was a rollercoaster.
In this book we're finally back with Caleb and Nyah, as much as I finally loved Cole my heart still leans on Caleb's side. As much as I missed him as much as at some point I would have hit him.
Despite the return of Caleb in the life of Nyah the pitfalls are not over yet.
I am very happy with the end of the events and the reunion of Caleb with the children. they deserve a happy ending.
Very good book and very good trilogy, I recommend them to everyone.
Oh my goodness S.A thomas does it again!!! This is the 3rd book in this series and seriously so good! Each book is well written and wants you to keep reading until you have finished it in one setting that is how good it is! This book made me excited while reading each page wanting to see what happened next. I will tell you I was not disappointed!
Broken Hearts Healed is the third book in The Broken Trilogy series by SA Thomas. This is not a standalone book! You will want to read Broken Promises and Broken Souls before diving into the conclusion of this series.
It has been over 3 years since Savannah and Caleb have spoken. So much has happened for both of them during this time, but when Caleb first sees Savannah at her restaurant on Vancouver Island, time stands still for him. He has harbored immense anger for after she left him, but he immediately starts to feel that familiar tug towards her. He is trying to reconcile the Savannah he remembers from the one who betrayed him and his family. He longs to know why she hurt and betrayed him, but, let's face it, Caleb and Savannah are not known for their open communication.
This was a fantastic conclusion to Savannah and Caleb's story. There were so many times I just wanted to grab them both, shake them, and tell them to just SAY ANYTHING to each other!!! I love when an author can make me feel such a gamut of emotions while reading and this author is extraordinary at wringing every emotion out of you. I adored this series and am sad that it has ended, but at least my heart finally felt healed by the end!
Wow, what a ride. From betrayal and heartbreak to truth and redemption. Jiah and Caleb have been through it all. Loved the enemies to lovers trope as well as the play on second chance! Add in a secret child and you have everything you need to feel the drama but also the hope. What a read!!
Broken Destiny had all the tension and heartbreak as the other books, but it was the perfect way to end the series for Caleb and Jiya. I am so glad I took the time to read this series as it was so good.
this book series was an absolute rollercoaster…but i’m super happy it ended the way it did. as much as i love caleb i also love cole which is why it made me happy he wasn’t forgotten throughout the book i literally finished the last book and this book in the same day :)
also i wouldn’t mind an extended epilogue or novella which glimpses at the future the couple and their kids <3
this one was more entertaining and heartbreaking than the previous one. Loved Cole and although the ending was not a happy one, he got to live his second chance with Savannah. I cant believe Caleb could let her go in the first book and the way he is behaving is still unbelievable.

This was my favorite book out of the three! Nyah/Savannah went through the wringer through this series so to see it all come to an ending was just perfect. Actually for many of the characters in this story, there were so many great realizations that some of the characters had throughout. Again, I am not a lover of 3rd person writing but I find that this author does it so well! I can't wait to read more from this author in the future!!
Thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
We come to a series end with this book and we finally have our happily ever after! Suffice to say the happily ever after does not come easily! Caleb and Jiya reconnect this book and together with their love story they bring in the drama, misunderstandings and miscommunications.
I enjoyed the book as it completes the trilogy very well and gives us the ending we were all hoping for! Although Caleb’s constant presumptions annoyed me as it felt like his character growth from book 1 had regressed. I also didn’t enjoy the fact that to break up a relationship, adultery had to be included. Jiya the spitfire from book 1 also became too passive, I assume it’s intentional to show her growth as a mother.
Overall 3.75 stars for this book and 4 stars for the trilogy as a whole.

The epic conclusion where Savannah and Caleb meet again. This was such an emotional, journey for both characters. I devoured this book in one sitting. I definitely plan to buy this series and follow the author to enjoy more of her work.
This is the third and final part of Broken Trilogy by S.A. Thomas. You would have already fallen in love with this series by the time you reach book 3. Just like the first two parts, this is an absolute beauty. I was so curious to find out what happens next that I immediately started third part after the second one. And not to mention, I wasn’t disappointed. What I wanted for Savannah, I got it. This emotional rollercoaster ride does have a happy ending which is so satisfying. This book made me feel so thankful that author has given me arc copy. And one more thing is that the author S.A.Thomas is so so sweet and she has put so much culture in he books and the passion with which she wrote these books is so inspiring. She has done an amazing job in buliding these characters and keeping the story alive in all three parts of the series.
When you realize you miss Savannah and Caleb being together, this book gives you a surprise. Savannah is such a hard working and a motivated girl. By now she has given a second chance to love with Cole and lost it again but still she hasn’t lost herself. You feel sorry for her being so alone again. Caleb met her again by a coinsedence and acts very childish just like he used to do in book one. Savannah has to carry herself again every single day just to fulfill her lost husband’s dream and also to provide for her kids. Caleb and Savannah have to work together on a project and that led to the ending which we all wanted out of this book. Meanwhile you see all those people who wihsed bad for Savannah were hit by karma. I loved the way how Caleb and Savannah handled things in a more responsible and adult way unlike the book one where there relationship looked all childish yet cute. They tried to sort things out now and in that process many secrets were revealed which will leave you in shock. But after all the misunderstandings and hatred and struggles, there is a very fine and beautiful end waiting for you all to read.
My favorite quote from this book is “He was her heartbeat, her reason to smile, her reason to laugh and love… again. He was the reason to live after her heart almost gave up on her“
Thank you @sathomas.author for the arc to the final book in the series! I loved reading Jiya's story and the way she overcomes her past and the obstacles in her way of her hea.
The final book in the Broken Trilogy and we are back with Savannah after the loss of her husband Cole. Now as a mother of 2 and trying to fulfill Cole’s wishes of working within his construction company, she has a full plate. Though she is mourning Cole’s loss, Caleb keeps popping up in her thoughts, and the tabloids, as he is newly engaged to someone else! Caleb is back in this book. And, he has NEVER forgotten about her either. Caleb doesn’t seem to want to give up finding her to exact some sort of revenge for perceived wrongs done to him and his family, though I’m convinced it’s because of a broken heart. When they’re thrown into each other’s paths again, it’s definitely not how either of them expected to see the other again. I’ve loved following along with Savannah’s journey through these books. Her character has survived A LOT throughout this series and I was so happy to see her get her HEA! She deserves it!!! As a reader, I feel like I’ve experienced these highs and lows with this character and there were certainly many of those in this final book. Processing all of her feelings after the loss of Cole and still really dealing with the aftermath of the events with Caleb and her connection to him; it’s been a LONG road! Both Savannah and Caleb learn some truths by the end of this and despite the lies, misconceptions, and hurt feelings, it was a great end to this trilogy. Thank you S.A. Thomas for allowing me the chance to read Savannah and Caleb’s story!
Quick Notes: HEA Roller Coaster of Feelings Sort of a second chance romance Contemporary romance Part of a trilogy Slow burn!

BROKEN HEARTS HEALED, the final part of Broken Trilogy by S.A. Thomas , where starting was lit and ending was smooth.
Caleb and Savannah, our main leads come back and guess what who brings them together???? The third main lead.
"IT FEELS LIKE FATE HAD BROUGHT TWO OF YOU BACK AGAIN."
Caleb and Savannah the main characters from the first book continues in this book as totally different character. They both moved on in their life but fate had brought them again.
Fate played a very important role, so many confusions going there and when I think yes that is the moment, that is the moment, that is the moment when everything gonna be clear but then again destiny says to me girl hold on .... wait 😂.
A lot of incidents went where blood boils such as when caleb misunderstood Savannah again and again , a lot of incidents happened where heart aches When Caleb was standing to marry and bride came but that bride was not Savannah , a lot of incidents went where I felt an aww when birthday party of Lucas took place and that villiage fair riding and visit to farm house and many more 🙆♀️.
Almost all of the character's goes through a heart purification stage... whether it is from Savannah to Caleb or from Savannah's mother to Caleb's mother.
This work was determined to remove all of the worries, aches, pain, heartbreak we are holding from last two parts. Author did a great job in all 3 parts ♥️ and I'm glad that I get to read THE BROKEN TRILOGY ☺.
ARC REVIEW : I think my words may not be able to do justice of how good this book is . This book shows you that destiny is what brings two souls together and show them they are meant to be .
Savannah is still not over the death of her husband . she's thinking did she really deserve love every time she's so close to happiness it's snatched away from her . Caleb is gonna marry her fiance but he still keeps her letter in his wallet .... he's still not over her ...he wants her to suffer of what she did What happens when these two souls cross paths again will they reunite or will be drifted apart again forever ???
I said this earlier and I'll say this again SA Thomas your books are so close to reality they give a real life experience of how things work and I love this about your books. The way this book turned out was amazing I was ready with my tissues to sob again to your words and blush and smile with grand gestures of Caleb . Caleb you never fail at giving me butterflies 😩😩. Loved this series ❤️❤️❤️
The emotions shown in this book were completely consuming. From the grief of losing a husband to finding the love of your life. From getting betrayed by the loved ones to having a person who loves you unconditionally. From fighting for your love to finally getting them. This whole book was such an emotional rollercoaster.
The plot was quite good for this series. And for this book, I particularly love the unfold of Savannah's life after her first husband died. The characters were strong and gave messages to the readers. The one thing which made this book a little boring is that some incidents were stretched out too much. In my opinion, that was not necessary.
One thing I have to admit, I love the fact that how the author has connected the string of Savannah's dream in the hospital to the end of the story. The wedding, the funeral and again the wedding, she had seen it all, but without face, and that is quite thoughtful.
Overall, I loved this book, and would definitely recommend the others to read it.
Broken Hearts Healed is an emotional and heartfelt conclusion to The Broken Trilogy. I really enjoyed how S.A. Thomas brought Savannah and Caleb’s story full circle. The mix of grief, betrayal, and second chances kept me hooked until the end. Savannah’s journey after losing Cole felt raw and real, and seeing her step into a new role in his business showed her strength. Caleb’s conflict, torn between his past and his present, added depth that made me root for him despite his mistakes.
What stood out most to me was how the book handled forgiveness and healing it wasn’t rushed or too easy, but rather layered with tension and emotion. The chemistry between Savannah and Caleb had me turning pages quickly, wondering if they could truly get past the pain and find happiness again.
A touching, dramatic, and ultimately satisfying read for anyone who believes in second chances.
Oh wow! This trilogy was incredible! This book was definitely my favorite out of the three. I just absolutely love Savannah’s character. Her resilience and strength is hard to fathom. We love a strong female lead! She’s been through so much heartbreak and loss, but she never gives up! I don’t want to give anything away, but I was so thrilled that Savannah finally got her happily ever after! It’s a very emotional and difficult journey for her with so many obstacles along the way. It was so hard waiting for the truth to finally come to light and get to the resolution, but it was well worth it! What a beautiful story of strength, resilience, forgiveness, and love. I really enjoyed this book and also loved the whole trilogy.
Broken Hearts Healed is the conclusion of Nyah/Savannah and Caleb’s story. After the second book, I was dying to see Caleb again. I really enjoyed him in the first book and loved the relationship the two of them had.
I had been so upset when his mom had played such a big role in their breakup and just wished the two of them would stop to think and realize the lies that they had been told were not true. It takes time but eventually the two of them come face to face again and boy was my heart happy with that.
This book is full of emotions and drama and the entire time I was rooting for both of them and hoping for them to finally get the happy ending they deserved.
I was not disappointed with how it ended and again, it was an amazing book by Samantha.
Amazing isn´t enough to describe how incredible this series is. When I finished reading the first book, I thought it was ok, the kind of predicable story and I tried to guess why there were two more books. As a reader, I didn´t understand why that story needed two more books. How wrong was I!!! the second book made me cry from the beginning to the end. Unpredicable. The characters are amazing. The story is well-written. I was so eager to read it that I finished this series in two days. In one hand, I wanted to read until the end, on the other hand, I didn´t want to finish ;). Anyway, I would love to read more extra chapters. Now, I have no idea what book I will read, because this series touched my heart. It deserves more than five starts and it is a must read.
