Unbreakable
Sophie Morgan is a problem, or at least her parents think so. She is beyond the normal coming of age problems other eighteen year olds have, and her parents are tired of dealing with her issues. When they decide to send her to stay with her aunt and uncle on a ranch in Texas, she is fuming mad and sure that she can't and won't learn a thing from being around horses and manure all the time.
That is until she meets tasty Miller Rhodes. Straight laced but immensely hot, Miller rubs Sophie the wrong way from the start. But when he helps to save her from herself, a friendship starts to bloom. As the years pass, Miller changes and it will soon be Sophie's turn to save him right back.

Sophie was dealing with some issues at home and rebelling against anything and everything just to get some attention, what she didn’t realize was that she did such a good job at getting her parents attention that they gave her a vacation away from them at her Uncle and Aunts ranch out in the middle of nowhere. All she has to do is survive two weeks away from her life and then she can get back to her plan, that is until she meets the young cowboy with a stick up his ass, they are polar opposites from each other, where one is drifting the other has his feet firmly in place, Sophie is wild and free and Miller carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, but fate has a way of bringing people together and although it is all purely friendship there is no denying the connection.
Miller and Sophie both follow through on their plans, knowing that whatever it is between them can’t grow, so they agree to stay as friends, but that call changes when Miller comes home from the army. Sophie’s hope is that Miller let’s her help him the way he helped her all those years ago.
It took me awhile to get into this story, I was excited to be reading a book about a sexy cowboy and I totally built it up in my mind as something different than what I read. Once I got over that fact the book I enjoyed it for what it was. It was a good read, the beginning was a little too YA for me, and I do read YA so that wasn't the problem, maybe Sophie’s character was just too young, not really sure but something was a bit off, I rated the book based on how it ended, because Miller did make the effort at the end to change my mind ;)

“Hi, I’m Miller. I can be a self-righteous ass. I think your angst will complement my self-righteousness very well. We’re bound to get along like a house on fire.”

“He was living in some kind of dark prison of his own making, and she had to do her part to help release him whether he wanted her help or not.”

To be completely honest, I'm a little disappointed with this one. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it's not what I read. But at the same time, it was a good book. I know, I don't make any sense ;) The story just needed something... more maybe? The characters were well developed and the story line was good but it just didn't seem to flow well for me. The first half kinda dragged a little but the second half seemed to fly by. I liked Miller as a teenager a lot but as an adult he was definitely the tortured hero. Sophie was a bratty teenager, but with good reason. She grew up to be a very mature and great heroine. I think I just wanted them to be together longer than what I got. I get why, but still... All that being said, I would still love to check out more books by this author!

I didn't know exactly what the genre New Adult was until I finished "Unbreakable". Apparently it is that dangerous chasm between adolescence and adulthood.
Now that I know that, I now know why I felt the way I felt about "Unbroken". In the beginning the writing felt elementary and the read was smooth, all though Soph's life was anything but. I found myself annoyed with her character the more I had to read it. Only driving home the fact that I'm now uncool, ("Ugh, what is with kids today?") On the opposite end of the spectrum we had Miller, and a complete little community of perfect people who live on the ranch where most of this story takes place. Clearly, this book had a rough start for me.
I am so thankful I stuck with Ms. Hanna's story though, the book redeemed itself in its final quarter. The characters aged 6 years and settled into roles that felt more realistic and relatable. Sophie's bratty adolescent attitude was gone and Miller was a little rougher around the edges. Not to mention, every bit man featured on this books cover. I could only wish that the book was more evenly split into two parts and we got to read more from this section of their story.
When I turned the last page I had an ah-ha moment - I really enjoyed how the author almost wrote two different books. As her characters changed/aged so did her writing, her descriptions of events (the naughty ones), the dialogue, everything. I saw that I needed the teen angst that I didn't enjoy in the first part of the book to fall in love, and really appreciate the second.
Overall, this is a nice New Adult read. It went by quickly, satisfied most all of my personal tastes and I thought long and hard about its message after I was done. I'd call that a success for Rachel Hanna. I will read more of her offerings.

I wasn't particularly fond of this book I found it boring ... and mundane. However I enjoyed the fact it was realistic in the sense of the relationship.

Posted on What I'm Reading
A few days ago, I finished a New Adult book by Rachel Hanna named Unbreakable. First off, the story was a fairly quick read. I must say I happen to enjoyed the storyline which feature a trouble making girl and a goodie-toe-shoe boy.
All right that's not completely fair to say. Sophie Morgan hadn't always been a trouble maker. However, life threw some curveballs that she couldn't handle, so the best way was to lash out. Which cause her parents to send her to Texas to spend Christmas with her aunt and uncle. While she's there she meets Miller Rhodes. Talk about a rough start between these two. Of course, it all stems from a misunderstanding.
Yes, I enjoyed the story. I really liked how Miller started to come to understand Sophie and help her through her rough patch. Plus, as they got older they maintained the friendship, which was nice to see. I loved how Sophie was able to return the favor to Miller when he needed help.
Overall, a nice New Adult read. The story had me smiling and crying. Plus, it gives hope that friendship can withstand a lot trials. So, if you love New Adult and looking for something read, I would suggest giving Unbreakable a try.

It took me a while to warm up to this book. The beginning was boring but now that I'm finished, I'm glad I hung in there...
Sophie was quite the teenager and I'm glad she had the chance to get away from her family problems and visit her aunt n uncle on their ranch in Texas. It was here she met Miller. Miller was one of ranchers who worked and helped out. He was the same age as Sophie but far more mature and pretty much knew what he wanted in life...the total opposite of Sophie. But it was through their friendship, these two formed a special bond.
I enjoyed the story of Sophie and Miller. It took a while before I got into it but once it caught my interest, it was all good from there.

Oh Sophie you sure are a smooth talker, "hey, just because you're wonder boy at shoveling horses***, doesn't mean I have to like it. I can get on just fine without your criticism." I like Miller and Sophie's relationship, "I'm under no illusions here, Miller. You and I both know you're leaving. That doesn't mean I have to keep feelings out of it. We can share feelings of trust and respect. We'd be going into this with both eyes open." It takes a lot for a person to help another person find themselves again that's what Miller and Sophie do to each other.

I enjoyed this book but it was missing something it needed more. The beginning I feel could've been shorter and explained rather than played out so we could've seen more of the ending.....I really liked how Sophia started to relax with her aunt and uncle and how she started to change by not even realizing it. Sometimes a different atmosphere can really help and I like how that was portrayed. I fell for Miller immediately and was pained for him in the end while hearing about his army time.

The story line was good, but I felt the book was rushed. 120 pages just wasn't enough, I feel like there wasn't enough time to really get to know the characters. I do think though, that the issues the book touches on are real life issues, that many people will be able to relate to (how's that for vague? I don't want to give away any spoilers!)

This was a very pleasant and predictable read. HEA standalone. What is significant about this book is the fact that it calls attention to our wounded warriors who return home with emotional (as well as physical) scars. PTSD is a difficult and powerful enemy to health and any attention we can generate to get out PTSD soldiers help is always welcomed.

Beautiful love story! I really enjoyed this book.
Sophie is a troubled young girl from Cali. She is sent on Christmas Break to Texas to visit her aunt & uncle on the Ranch. This is where she meets a very responsible & very handsome ranch hand Miller!
Miller says her and 6 yrs later Sophie saves him right back!
All around beautiful book and a beautiful couple!

A beautiful story of tow people helping each other through difficult times. It was good to see their lives turn around for the better and to see Miller follow through with a different dream of helping other soldiers. War is hard on a soldiers mind as we see the case with Miller. It was good to see it work out for the best in the end. Def worth reading! Loved it.

I'm giving this book 3 stars, simply because I liked the two main characters. I was actually pretty disappointed with the story. It was all over place. I would have liked to see the story expanded a little.
July 7, 2013
This was good, I liked the story line and the characters, but I needed more of something. Maybe more angst, more about what happened in those 6 years, more about their first time. It just wasn't out of the park for me.
July 21, 2013
This book was ok, but I felt it needed more content. The book felt rushed, certain topics could have been explored and more detail could have even added. The "bones" of the book were good. Characters were good just needed more detail.
September 18, 2013
A incredibly sweet and endearing story. I loved the ranch and all the characters. My only qualm with this book is that the end section that spans several years is so fast! I would have liked much more meat at the end. Still, a great read.
December 5, 2013
a very quick read and felt rushed. the whole bad girl meets good guy grabbed me in but the whole 40% in and I was bored. the story doesnt dive into the characters and you only get told parts of the story. wish I hadnt of bothered reading it tbh
August 26, 2018
This was a great book. I look forward to reading more from this author. I recommend this book, and this author.
June 7, 2013
Okay....this was a good book but I felt like it dragged forever to only to end quickly if you know what I mean. I still gave it 3 stars cause it kept me reading.
July 8, 2013
i stopped reading halfway through. too boring for me.

This was a quick short read for me. I did enjoy the book. I just felt at times it was rushed.

A história da Sophie e do Miller não trouxe nada de novo.
Lê-se bem, entretém, mas não criou faísca.

I liked the book although after the first part it felt incredibly rushed and felt liked we missed huge chunks of time that could have made the story much more beautiful.
September 16, 2013
hmm what to say... this book is very predictable and nothing really happens. I love this author an I liked this book but it's very plain.

Very good read. I do wish it was a little longer.
