Broken Pieces
It’s been a rough year for Gabby Peterman. Her best friend’s dad died six months ago, her other best friend has leukemia and isn’t doing well, and her marriage? After three years, it’s more of a joke than a relationship. Despite all the odds, she’s managed to stay strong for the people around her, supporting them through all their trials. But when death strikes again and one of her closest friends disappears, Gabby loses it.
On the verge of a mental breakdown himself, Wolfe Landon will do anything to win Gabby over. But first, he’s going to prove to her just how much he cares and loves her, because losing her will rip out his heart and soul.

OMG I wanted to track down Dawn Pendleton and beat her with a wet noodle for this book. I cried as soon as I started page one and was still crying when I reached the end. This is the third book in the Broken series and deals with Wolfe and Gabby. The book starts off with a bang (not going to be a spoil sport and reveal like some others. Wolfe and Gabby have been going through the whole divorce process and now the end is near for their marriage. They are obviously still in love with one another, but heart ache after heart ache seems to push them apart instead of back together like the rest of the group is hoping. If you want to know how this story turns out and I hope you do, then I suggest you one click. Make sure you read the series in order because each book is a continuation of the last. The Epilogue covers most everyone, but will still leave you shattered and in tears. At least it did me. I am not one for ugly cry books and this is the perfect reason not to be. I love my HEA's and while there are HEA's in here, the story line is so good and the writing so intense that you are dragged into their world and experience all the pain and heartache. This book will rip your heart out, stomp on it and leave you a blubbering mess...

This was a quick read. If you haven't read the first two books then you need to in order to get the whole story. We knew from the other books Wolfe and Gabby were having problems with their marriage. Well in this book we find out the reason for Gabby's wanting a divorce. We also learn of what happened with Rainey and Baker after their wedding. The story is good and there were many times I just wanted to throttle Gabby because of her attitude. In the end it was what I had hoped for.

Nice
The underlying story is sweet, however I must have gotten an unedited or partially edited draft, because there were a lot of punctuation and grammar issues.
There are some inconsistencies in the story, but not glaring enough to detract from it.

In my opinion Broken Pieces is the best story of the Broken Series. This is Gabby and Wolfe's story. This is a book of misunderstandings and communication. Gabby has a lot of secrets that she has a hard time telling anybody. Once she gets them out a lot more crap comes to light. I'm not sure how much bad can fall on this group of friends. Overall Broken Pieces is pretty good. I read in Broken Series (Broken, #1-3.5).

Romance and Fantasy for Cosmopolitan Girls
In un tranquillo e piccolo paese del Maine, di nome Casper, vive Gabby, insieme al suo gruppo di amici e al suo futuro ex marito.
Mancano ancora un paio di settimane alla data dell'udienza in tribunale per il divorzio. Nonostante ci siano ancora dei forti dubbi tra i futuri ex coniugi nel voler concretizzare la loro separazione, sembra non esserci alternativa alla distanza che si è creata tra loro.
Per Gabby, il momento non potrebbe essere più devastante, il padre di una delle sua migliori amiche, Mallory, è morto da poco, mentre Rainey, l'altra migliore amica, è appena morta di leucemia dopo essersi sposata da poco con Baker, migliore amico di Luke ( fidanzato di Mallory ). Insomma, un periodaccio e, anche se non vorrebbe altro che farsi confortare da suo marito, Wolfe, Gabby fa la dura e lo tiene a distanza.
Tutto il gruppo di amici, tifa per una riconciliazione, ma la donna non ci sente. Dall'altra parte, Wolfe, cerca di lottare per tenere in vita il loro matrimonio ma ogni cosa che fa sembra urtarla sempre di più....e la sua determinazione comincia a vacillare.
Ufficialmente, la ragione per la quale Gabby vuole divorziare da Wolfe è che lui ha sempre parlato di tornare in Florida, il suo stato di nascita, mentre lei non vuole abbandonare il suo paese, e poi essersi sposati così presto ( lei ha solo 22 anni e si sono sposati 3 anni fa ) ha influito sul loro futuro. Lei non vuole essere un peso per lui, obbligarlo a fare scelte in cui non crede per poi sentirselo rinfacciare più avanti. Sarà davvero per questo?
Wolfe, non ha nessuna intenzione di tornare in Florida, Gabby sa essere cocciuta e ostinata ma lui ne è pazzamente innamorato e non rimpiange il suo matrimonio. Lei è quella giusta e ne era convinto fin dal loro primo incontro. Se è vero ciò che lei dice, che è arrivata addirittura ad odiarlo, allora la lascerà andare per il suo bene e si rassegnerà ad una vita di solitudine e cuore infranto.
Ci sono una serie di vicissitudini che renderanno questo libro più incalzante di quanto possiate immaginare, il fattore romance è presente ma solo in modo marginale, scene da pugno nello stomaco rendono ancora più intensa questa serie che mi ha stupito con tutti i tre libri.
Fin dal primo romanzo Broken Promises ( il ritorno di Mallory a Casper e la sua riappacificazione con Luke ) si capiva che le cose tra Gabby e Wolfe non andavano ed erano già separati, ma certi sguardi furtivi lasciavano intendere che tra loro le cose erano irrisolte.
Il libro si è concluso in modo soddisfacente e non sono mancati i colpi di scena e vivere quella tensione, domandandosi: risolveranno i loro problemi? ricuciranno il loro rapporto?
L'inglese è facile, niente di insormontabile, ma devo avvertirvi che i romanzi di questa serie non sono passeggiatine. Niente pic nic in una bel campo di fiori o discorsi romantici e spensierati. La vita con i suoi problemi e le tragedie, si fa sentire con tutta la sua brutalità. Ma ci sono anche aspetti sereni che permettono la continuazione del romanzo senza piangere per tutta la durata, il gruppo di amici di Casper è molto unito, l'amicizia e l'essere uniti nel momento di maggiore difficoltà e' prioritario per tutti loro. E' molto confortante sapere di avere al proprio fianco persone così generose e affidabili.
Per chi non conoscesse questa serie, vi consiglio di iniziare dal primo. Si possono leggere separatamente ma già che ci siete, fatelo con ordine. Piccolo avvertimento : il secondo libro Broken Dreams sarà bello tosto ( Rainey e Baker ).
Il gruppetto di Casper non ci abbandonerà, l'autrice ha in serbo ancora delle sorprese niente male. Restate in zona per saperne di più!!

This is #3 in the Broken series, and I am still loving it here in Casper, Maine.
Gabby Peterman has tried to be strong. Strong for her best friend who's dad died six months ago. Strong for her other best friend who is battling leukemia and losing. Strong for keeping her own deep, dark, soul crushing secret. What is not strong is her marriage. Her marriage she is letting go of because she isn't strong enough to fight for it too.
Wolfe Landon just can't understand what he did to make the love his life, his world, his everything just up and walk out on him with no answers to his million and one questions. He has been nice and letting her have the divorce her way and not be in her way around their friends, which is really hard to do in Casper, Maine.
As the one year mandatory separation period drawn nearer, Wolfe is on the verge of losing his mind, and his heart. He has to prove to Gabby he still wants her and not the divorce. Will she stay, or will she go? Her secret may just push them both do being divorced.

The author and I had some words before I read this, so I could mentally prepare myself over some certain things and not want to kill her, and I was really surprised that I really didn't want to kill her by the end of the book like I thought I would have. I have been patiently waiting for Wolfe and Gabby and now IT'S FINALLY HERE!! Wolfe I knew I'd love him right off, I loved him in the other books, "Wolfe was skilled in the art of lovemaking. He took his time, even when I tried to rush him, and that spoke volumes. I blew out a shaky breath, biting my lip in the process. A discontented sigh escaped Wolfe's lips. He was as turned on as I was." Drunk Gabby is a fun Gabby, "you're so serious! When we get home, I'm going to undress you and lick every inch of your delicious body," I said with a giggle." Wolfe the man knows how to promise his woman heaven, "of course I will," I promised her, knowing that after a year of only masturbation, I would be able to get it up again in no time."

But unfortunately for both of them her secret is not the only secret that will interfere in their rocky marriage.

First off, if you have not read the first two books from the Broken Series, go read them, they are amazing and you will not be disappointed. Now, onto book 3, Broken Pieces. This is Gabby and Wolfe's story and I loved it! The first half of the book I was raging wondering why Gabby was being such a b*tch but then when the secrets start to come out one after another after another. Past 50% into the book there was a twist practically every other page. Just when I wrapped my head around one thing, another was thrown at me. I was on the edge of my chair and had to read this in one sitting because you simply cannot put it down. Loved the ending and the promise from Dawn to touch on the Baker topic again, this is a favorite series of mine, so refreshing to read.

Broken Pieces was the third book in the Broken series by Dawn Pendleton and probably my favorite so far. I knew when I began this book that it would be a heartwrenching read with the death of Rainey on the horizon. I didn't think that the opening chapter would be just that, but it totally made this book a truly beautiful read. Loved this storyline with the twists and turns that had me hooked from beginning to end. The characters were once again fabulous with lots of depth and emotion. I was a huge fan of both Gabby & Wolfe and thought they truly were going to be a great couple once they worked out their issues. Looking forward to more books by Dawn and can't wait to finally getting to see Barker get his happily ever after in her new series!!

I loved this series and this book was just wonderful. It was sad to learn the fate on two of the characters (but we knew the ending to them already) but it was also nice to see a happy "ending" for the others! Including one surprise that I was not suspecting! Katie.... I'm looking forward to Baker's story and the new "Dream" series.
Btw, is it so wrong to want Ember and Baker to fall in love with each other!? It can happen right!? I mean, why not? I have the impression that their mutual love for Rainey and grief can inspire love between them. They both deserve happiness, right!

Seriously sad
Wolfe and Gabbys relationship was so sad. You could tell in the other stories that they still loved each other but no speaking up and secrets kept the apart but the things come to light and a twist in the story that I didn't see coming helped bring things full circle!! Loved it but very tear inducing!!!

How do you move forward when it feels like everything is coming apart. This book shows some great depth and how do you deal when bad things happen and fears come to the fore front.

A nice twist.
Through the entire series I was wondering what was going on with Gabby and Wolfe. I never would have expected where this part of the story went.
