About the author
A.E. Murphy
32 books1,074 followersA. E. Murphy is the Queen of sarcasm and satire, she likes long walks in the park, as much as ice cubes like to chill in a roasting oven.
She’s effortlessly independent and so good at adulting it’s unfair on the rest of the world. She only napped twice today and has only avoided the dishes for three days before making the child slaves do them this morning.
Winning!
Her favourite hobby is writing, her worst hobby is reading through that writing.
Also she has two cats that carry toys to the top of the stairs and drop them down so they can chase them. They do this repeatedly in the middle of the night.
Who cares if she has work the next morning?
Not the cats, that’s for sure.
And if it’s not the cats doing the waking, it’s the toddler crawling into bed with her and pulling individual hairs from her scalp with pudgy little fingers for comfort.
This is likely why she’s in a constant state of grump unless there’s chocolate and coffee.
P.S. Please leave feedback, if not on the book then on this ridiculous bio she wrote herself. It’s the least you can do seeing as she’ll forever talk in the third person now.

Title: Broken
Series: Broken Part 1
Author: A.E Murphy
Release Date: 29 April, 2014
Rating: 5 stars
Cliffhanger:. Yes
HEA:
I am so glad I decided to pick A E Murphy’s novel up. The blurb and few reviews I’ve read of Broken were alluring enough, yet I’ve been a little bit hesitant. I didn’t know if it would be a read right up my alley. Boy, was I wrong! I certainly regret waiting so long to finally crack this novel open.
This story focuses on Gwen, a young pretty girl that falls in love with the ‘perfect’ guy. At the beginning of the first chapter, when Gwen fell for Caleb, after five seconds of meeting him, I was sure it was going to be a DNF for me. The cheesy insta-love scenario between the two of them felt like a huge deal breaker. I can’t remember how many times I rolled my eyes in those first chapters, yet for some reasons I kept going. And I don’t regret it. When the ‘real’ action took place and I’ve met my new crush, Broken started to look up. The story started getting better and better till it reached its peak and my heart shattered into tiny little pieces… again.
The thing is Caleb’s family disowned him when he left school to be with Gwen. Despite that obstacle, Gwen and Caleb started their relationship as every normal couple. They dated, kissed, had sex for the first time, moved in with each other and as the two years passed they ‘accidentally’ fell pregnant.
When one night Caleb goes to sleep and never wakes up, Gwen’s life crumbles. Now she has a dead boyfriend, a baby on the way and no way to pay all of the bills. Her mother decided not to help her after she got pregnant, and Caleb’s family is horrible. His parents, even though they are wealthy won’t help her raise the baby. So she has no home, no job and no money.
But there is Nathan. Caleb’s quirky, weird and not exactly normal older brother.Nathan is rude, cold and standoffish. He's an asshole. Yet he decided he will help Gwen with his nephew or niece. He promised to give her shelter and food as long as she will follow easy rules: stay out of his life and never invade his privacy. But for a pregnant heartbroken lady following rules made by a man who’s clearly not right in the head can be a little hard.
“I only gave you two rules. Stay out of my way and don’t invade my privacy.”
With time passing intense feelings between arise and nothing is the same for Gwen. How can she feel something toward Nathan when she lost her fiancé just few months ago?
"Guilt encompasses me in a relentless embrace as I realize I like having my hand there, I like being in Nathans company. I'm nor sure if it's because of some strange attachment issues now his brother's gone but I feel it all the same."
Broken wasn’t a decent read and it wasn’t a book I would call good. Why? Because the only adjectives that come to my mind while thinking of this story are spectacular and heart wrenching. It was so good! Not only did I found the storyline pretty original and exciting; the characters, especially Nathan were amazingly real and I fell in love with them.
Wow, I am still amazed and touched. This story is like no other. If you want to go on a roller coaster ride full of heartbreak, love and need this is a book just for you. This book will shatter you and make you feel!

Started off angsty and tension filled but then slowly but surely got really hella BORINGGGGG~~~ by the end of the book I couldn’t give two cents about either MC. Not to mention the heroine failed to realize how badly she got played by her dead ex, who literally married her and impregnated her knowing he was gonna die, and never once mentioning his terminal condition. I felt really bad for the deadex but what he did WASNT RIGHT! He left her in a really bad situation after he passed away, NOT COOL BRO!
Then the dead ex’s brother (H) swoops in and saves her pregnant ass all the while being a total ass to her in the process. This marks the beginning of the most excruciating slow burn, not because it took forever for something to happen between them, but because this bish aka the heroine is constantly pining over the deadex and doesn’t want to betray him, failing to realize how badly he screwed her over.
Initially the interactions between the hero and heroine were really charged and they had chemistry but all that kinda fizzled out towards the end and I just didn’t care anymore.
And from what I recall the H and the h don’t get together in this book, they do sometime in the second book and I have better things to do than pick the second book up 💅💁♀️

Well I'm glad I stuck through the first few chapters, because I was so tempted to stop. OMG it was soooo cheesy, UGH !!!
This book should have a disclaimer: Power through the first few chapters.. it gets better!
After the first few chapters this book turned into a page turner that I couldn't help want to finish, and it ended up anything but predictable. I can't wait to read the rest of the story in book two.

Part 1 of 2.
Free and currently being distributed to Kindle, Itunes, etc. Not sure when it will finally be on all but it will be soon. It is available to download from Smashwords.
This book hasn't taken me too long to write, as I became consumed in Guinevere, the MC and her sad story. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
It does end in a Cliffhanger but you won't have to wait longer than a few weeks for the next installment which is in fact almost completed.
It isn't like my 'Little Bits' series which is why I've been so nervous about releasing it. It's a darker tale and not full of humour.
Also, it is based in England, I'll see if you guys from my home country can figure out the locations. :D
Thank you so much for reading :D xx

3,5. I thought the book and the female character boring a lot.
At the end, they catch my attention.
It’s worth the reading.

5 SOBBING MY EYES OUT STARS
OMG. THIS BOOK TUGGED AT MY HEARTSTRINGS THE WAY NO BOOK HAS EVER DONE BEFORE!
Seriously, SOBBING throughout most of the book. Did I sob for Caleb? Nope. I bawled my eyes out because of the heartache that Gwen felt after he died. The author described the pain she was going through in such a way that I couldn't help but feel for her. I literally felt the pain and loneliness that she was feeling.
And Nathan...omg...Nathan. I loved him. Quirks and all. I will never be able to look mens leather gloves again without picturing Nathan wearing them. Yep...true story.
Long story short...I LOVED this book.

Miss/Mrs Murphy writes the best angsty, torturous slow burn romance books which tug at your heartstrings.
Usually authors gloss over subtle and small intimate moments between couples like forehead kisses, hand holdings and palm kisses (which don't really have to be sexual). I wish these affectionate little touches are more witten about because they make my heart flutter like crazy🤭.
Miss/Mrs Murphy makes sure to capture these moments in her writing which is what makes me always read her books.

Title: Broken (Broken #1)
Series: Yes
Author: A.E. Murphy
Rating: 5 Ugly tear inducing stars
POV: first person heroine
HEA:
Heat/Steam 3/5
Triggers?
Cliffhanger: . Yes.
Intolerable Heroine .No.
Über Douchebagery .A little but I still loved Nathan regardless.
Taboo Subject Matter .No.
Cheating:
Love Triangle
Footprints are an amazing thing, even the ones you can’t see. They make you wonder who’s walked right where you’re walking . Who’s travelled this same path? What were their concerns? Who did they love? Are they still alive?
Just a warning before starting this book: I highly recommend not reading this in public because I cried ugly tears for a good portion of this book.
“Can I walk with you?” An unfamiliar voice asks from two steps behind me.
Gwen meets Caleb on the beach and after reading a lot of reviews before hand I prepared myself for the whole nausea inducing love at first sight crap. So we start with a pretty heavy case of instalove between Caleb and Guinevere aka Gwen. While Caleb was very sweet and dreamy I never really connected with him. There was just something about him that I felt was off and I never really allowed myself to fall prey to his charm.
“There it is,”
“There what is?”
“The moment you steal my heart,” .
Everything between them is perfect even when outside forces try to keep them apart. His parents are absolutely evil and they end up cutting him off in order to get him to come back home. However, despite this and all their struggles they still manage to be together. Fast forward a year later, they are engaged, happy, and find out they are going to have a baby. A day before their wedding arrives tragedy strikes and Gwen is left alone, homeless, and completely broken.
Unfortunately, Gwen's mother and Caleb's family, refuse to help her or take her in. That's when Caleb's brother Nathan steps in. When he discovers Gwen pregnant and living in near poverty, Nathan offers to take her in and take care of her.
Nathan is a very complex character with extremely unusual habits. He wears gloves due to an extreme case of verminophobia, which we find out the reason for later in the book. He is harsh and rude. He is hot and cold and all in all a very mysterious character. But I fucking LOVED him. There were several times where I wanted to smack the shit out of him and have Gwen run for the hills, however, the boy knew how to grovel and beg for forgiveness. *Swoon*
"I won't stop trying."
"T... trying what?" I stammer and lick my dry lips.
"To make you mine."
I don't understand why a lot of people disliked Gwen for her inability to accept her feelings for Nathan right away. C'mon people! She's pregnant with her recently deceased fiance's child and you expect her to just fall so easily for someone else? I totally understood her reluctance, guilt, and inability to move on. If it had been easy for her I think it would have been difficult for me to like her but I loved Gwen and completely understood where she was coming from.
Guilt encompasses me in a relentless embrace as I realize I like having my hand there, I like being in Nathan's company. I'm not sure if it's because of some strange attachment issues now his brother's gone but I feel it all the same.
The book ends with a cliffy but thankfully the next book is already out so I don't have to wait to find out what happens next. I will say that I have a theory about Caleb and if I am right I'd love nothing more than to bring him back from the dead and drop kick him in the nuts and kill him all over again.

*Some Spoilers*
Um. Wow, I really really liked this book! Honestly, when I first started it I thought it was going to be a DNF because in the first few pages we get one of the worst cases of insta-love that I've read in awhile. I'm so glad I stuck through the first few chapters though because I was greatly rewarded!
Gwen meets Caleb on the beach. They fall in love at first sight. (This is where the insta love kicks in-gag me!) It's not easy for them to be together with her bitch of a mother and his completely evil parents. After Caleb's parents cut him off he and Gwen struggle on their own but they do it and are happily in love. Fast-forward a year later. They are engaged, happy, and after a rough beginning find out they are going to be parents. Everything is going great until their wedding day arrives and tragedy struck.
My whole world feels like it has just collapsed. Nothing seems to matter apart from the fact he has gone. Nothing.
And it RIPPED my heart out. Like I literally was sobbing my eyes out. I had to sit my kindle down because I could not see my kindle screen. . . it kept getting blurred out by my tears.
After tragedy struck Gwen is left lost, alone, afraid, and homeless with a baby coming in a few short months. She had zero help and her mother disowned her.
She is desperate and doesn't know what to do.
That it until Nathan shows up.
The only time Gwen has met Nathan has been when Nathan punched Caleb in the face and told Gwen to "get rid" of the baby. Nathan is a part of Caleb's life along with his parents that he doesn't talk about. Caleb always warned Gwen to stay away from Nathan but when she's living out of her car and has no hope for her and her baby's future she has to accept Nathans offer to help.
He is clearly unstable, he has serious control issues that I'm not sure I want to deal with.
Nathan is different. He wears gloves because he is afraid of germs. He is harsh and rude. He is hot and cold. He shows zero emotion. He is mysterious and very private. He is anti-social and an introvert. He is controlling. He has secrets. But Nathan is also very tall, dark, and sexy. In other words. Irresistible. However at times, he was a dick with a capital D! When he wants to hurt someone he knows the exact words to cut the deepest and I wanted Gwen to smash his head in on numerous occasions. And then when we think he has changed. . . he goes and rips Gwen (and me) to pieces again. But still, I loved him. I guess I'm a sucker for an ant-hero.
"I won't stop trying."
"T... trying what?" I stammer and lick my dry lips.
"To make you mine."
From this point on I was completely sucked into this story. Nathan stole my heart even though he was a mysterious asshole. I just wanted Gwen to unravel his past and his secrets. He was the complete opposite of Caleb. I mean, I liked Caleb but I loved Nathan. There were so many mysteries and secrets surrounding Caleb, Nathan, and family and at the end when Gwen uncovers a very big one... my heart broke. It totally explained why Nathan is the way he is.
"I'm telling you because whatever secrets Nathan has, he likes to keep them that way. The entire family is one huge riddle and trust me when I say, they're a riddle you don't want to solve."
It was really tough for Gwen as she got closer to Nathan because in her head she was still betraying Caleb. It was frustrating because it kept her from really ever opening herself to Nathan when I wanted so bad for her to do so. But after getting upset at her for being this way, I would stop and understand, she needed time and after what she went through, it was understandable.
Guilt encompasses me in a relentless embrace as I realize I like having my hand there, I like being in Nathans company. I'm nor sure if it's because of some strange attachment issues now his brother's gone but I feel it all the same.
I have to say even though it took the first chapter for me to get sucked into this book, I still really liked the authors writing style. The beginning felt a little rushed but the rest of the story especially with Gwen and Nathan really took it's time and made me really invest in these two. I just wished Gwen would wake up and realize that Caleb isn't coming back to her and Nathan has so much to give her and Dillon because behind all the gloves, and secrets, and pain, and rudeness there is something worth fighting and I think by the end Gwen started finally seeing that... but it was too late...
And that ending. Wow. So gut wrenching. I wanted to throw my kindle after that cliffhanger.... I need more, I need book two like now!
Overall, I would definitely recommend this lovely hidden gem because I loved it! Great story, interesting characters, and a plot that kept me glued to my kindle. There is heartbreak, sadness, some mystery, and romance. And I GOT THIS FOR FREE off Amazon! But I definitely would've paid just to read this story and I can't wait for book two!

☆☆☆☆ 4.5 Love Found and Lost Stars ☆☆☆☆
"I knew, the minute I saw you walking down the sand I had to know you,” he leans in closer, as if preparing to tell me a secret. “And then you looked over your shoulder and smiled. You smiled at nothing. I knew I was yours."
Gwen and Caleb are perfect. They meet, the laugh, they love. They are instantly connected to each other. No evil parents, no broody brother, no lack of money will keep them apart.
" Every second I spend with him I lose a piece of my heart and attach it to his."
As close to perfect as Gwen and Caleb seem, in everyone's eyes, there is one tiny secret waiting to ruin everything.
" Don’t ever lose yourself okay?” He whispers. “Promise me."
" I’ll never leave you I swear it."
Gwen knows something is not right with Caleb. She can feel him hiding something. Caleb can't tell his love he is sick, that he is dying.
As they fall asleep in each other's, Gwen never expects that she will lose the love of her life in her arms that very moment.
Heartwrenching is all I can say when Gwen wakes up with her forever love gone.....forever.
As Gwen tries to piece her life together, she finds herself in the darkest place imaginable. No home, no family to help her, no money.....she is completely alone....except for the tiny piece of Caleb she carries, their baby.
Through the darkness, help from the least expected appears.....Nathan.....Caleb's brother.
Gwen promised Caleb to never be near Nathan, to avoid him at all costs. What choice does she have? She has to think of her unborn baby. He needs what Nathan Is offering.
As Gwen accepts Nathan's offer of a home and safety she also has to accept the secrets Nathan is hiding.
As their lives form some sort of normalcy, feeling start developing. Both fight them, Gwen knows she can't be with Caleb's brother, but her heart says she needs him.
Nathan learns he loves and needs Gwen, he will protect her and keep her at all costs.
Their lives of normalcy ends in an instant, when Gwen finds the secret that has held Nathan captive within his own demons.
The ending of this emotional Rollercoaster is unbelievable....I never saw this coming. My mind had to start the next book immediately. ....this story is fascinating!
"I knew, the minute I saw you walking down the sand I had to know you,” he leans in closer, as if preparing to tell me a secret. “And then you looked over your shoulder and smiled. You smiled at nothing. I knew I was yours."

I downloaded this book with a bunch of other freebies off of Amazon and had my eye on it, not really sure if I wanted to read it or not since I'd been on a roller coaster of almost intolerable books as of late, but when I saw this book on my newsfeed, I thought to give it a shot. And I'm so glad that I did!
The book for me starts off slow and mostly uneventful (for me anyways). I do enjoy first love stories but not if it begins with insta-love between the couple. I was willing to reserve judgement on Gwen as we'd really yet to see her character grow and develop, but I almost had an instant dislike for Caleb because I felt he was somewhat creepy with his almost manic behaviour. Not to mention, I wasn't a fan of his mood alleviating when he would get ill cause Gwen would have to look after him or for the fact that he had pressured Gwen into having a baby when she wasn't ready. Caleb to me was a needy little boy.
Its not until Nathan enters the scene that I feel like the story picks up for me. From the get go, you know there are some dark and underlying issues that he's struggling with. Reading the interactions between him and Gwen when she first moves in, I kinda got a Rochester vibe from him, and couldn't help but laugh at some of the things that he would say, though my brows would rise at some of the other things he said and did.
And boy, let me tell you about the heart ache.
I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't cry in this book. Nathan is such a tortured soul and the heartbreak I felt for him while reading was enough to have me whimpering and lying in bed all day, not even bothering to leave the room until I had read every last dark secret of his. While I had my suspicions, actually reading about it had my heart hurting for him. But it wasn't just that, my whole heart ached for both Nathan and Gwen and the situation that they found themselves in, not because I found it impossible for them to be together because he was the brother of her dead fiance (I actually thought Gwen was being a bit stubborn in using him as a shield), but because with all these issues and an unwillingness both in Gwen and Nathan to talk to someone about their demons, it would always lie between them and stop them from grasping the happiness they so desperately need.
Overall, I found this a totally enjoyable, four and a half star read. The only reason why I'm not rating it a full five stars are for the glaring mistakes within the book that took away from my reading pleasure. Normally, I can overlook minor mistakes, but it seemed that every time the book mentioned someone 'standing' or 'sitting', it would mixup the tenses. Not to mention, using 'petrol' to replace 'gas' made no sense at all, especially as it was colloquially referring to a bodily function. There are other similar mistakes but you get the gist of what I'm saying.
Other than that, this book was amazing. I would totally recommend it to everyone and I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel.

ARC kindly provided for a honest review.
I know what people think when then see that the book has been given for a honest review and the reviewer has given a 5star rating... Cos I think the same. That maybe the book ain't worth all the stars but they feel they should rate it high anyway. That might seem harsh, but still. We all think it.
In this case, that's not it at all!! This book deserved all 5stars hands down!! It's touches two very sore subjects which I think the author handled fab! Tissues are needed... You have been warned!!
I have high hopes for the next book.

I almost.. ALMOST gave up on this one I was getting a little bored with perfect Caleb in the start..
And then BAM
And I refuse to tell you anything that happens..
My only complaint is the pregnancy dates. At one point in the book She tells a friend that she has 18 weeks left and then several days later she tells Nathan that she has 19 weeks left..

An interesting idea, but there were some aspects that I simply couldn't get my head around:
The premise of the story was enjoyable, but it ended on a cliffhanger and although I like Nathan I don't care enough for Gwen to read the next part.

Cuando apunte este libro en mi lista de por leer lo hice debido a las buenas críticas, pero sin leer realmente la sinopsis ni nada sobre su autora, cuando ya me decidí a leerlo al mirar la edad de la autora casi me echó para atrás, es que pensé ay no una autora de 23 años este libro seguro será un coñazo lleno de bobadas, clichés y mal escrito, pero aún así lo empecé; en las primeras páginas dije WTF voy a dejarlo este definitivamente creó que será un DNFM, lo pensé debido a que en la primera página hay instalove y rodé mis ojos no se cuantas veces al principio del libro, pero a pesar de eso había algo que me hizo seguir leyendo, un no se que? pero me quede, seguí leyendo y que sorpresa! No me lo esperaba, me ha gustado y me ha sorprendido gratamente, tiene un argumento para nada convencional, hay muchos secretos que mantienen al lector pegado queriendo saber todo, no voy a decir nada sobre los personajes ni la trama, esta es una bilogía así que si tiene cliffhanger, desde ya me voy por el siguiente.

It's not often that I find a freebie on Amazon that I end up loving so much. I enjoyed this story immensely. Caleb was a bit too good to be true. I think we'll find he's not as perfect as portrayed in book 2 (guess we'll see!). That being said, he was super sweet and I really did love him. And I was shocked and saddened at what happened with him in this story. The story pulled me in and I could honestly believe in all of Gwen's depression and sadness. It felt so real. Then swoops in Nathan. He's such an asshat through most of the story. He's rude beyond belief, but then he comes back and redeems himself, with each altercation. I was pulling for him through the entire story and loved watching his transformation. By the end of the story, I was devastated for Nathan. The cliffhanger sucked, but lucky for me, book 2 is already out now (YAY!!!). Can't wait to pick it up next and see what next unfolds with Nathan and Gwen.

I need to process this book that I just read and I don't even know how. My skin is literally prickling after reading this novel and between the ending and the preview of book 2 I am left shaken, confused and hoping Nathan isn't as crazy as I think he is, because from germaphobe to killer is quite a bracket.
This story has three distinct tones that you might miss because you are so wrapped up in the story line. There is the light and fluffy bordering on unrealistic beginning, the changes and growth in the middle and the convoluted and uncertain ending.
I was tempted to stop reading when I began because the beginning wasn't the most solid of starts. It felt very naive and filled with childish fantasies and actions, so I was skeptic while wondering who are these Disney kids? Then everything goes to hell and I literally see the story switch to heartache and unbearable pain. They might not have fell but my eyes did quite the job today at holding my tears at bay. One more painful description and I'd have been weeping like a baby. We moved into a more mature setting until we finally transitioned into the unpredictable ending and even more frightening preview.
I connected with every single one of the main characters. Caleb was the fun, fairy tale side and I loved and missed him with every bone in my body. There will never be enough time passed for you to forget this character. I was depressed with her and felt every pity stare and brick wall to a shelter.
I love Gwen. I thought her silly at first but she completely won me over. She was loyal, fierce, opinionated and real. Yes, she's hormonal but she respected herself and Caleb even when he was no longer around. She had literally found her soul mate and no matter what any one else says I will always love him for her. There is no man in the world like Caleb and even though we might learn some of his secrets in the next novel people can change and he did. We never saw a bad side. He was the loving, caring, compassionate boyfriend to the point of being selfish. Prevention is better than cure and he could have prevented half the pain Gwen endured if he had prepared properly and spoke to her about what they were really up against.
Though I am irrevocably in love with Caleb this story has two sides and the lead for the next is Nathan. I like Nathan but I don't trust him. It took not only Gwen, but myself as a reader, time to warm to his character and before I know it, I was acclimating to his current role and medical condition. What came at the end though just stirred me even more and got me wondering what will happen next. His next move will determine if I continue to get to know and like him or loathe him forever.
It's impossible to not get tangled up in this story. The characters are real, their decisions are tough but their own and resentment runs rampant with hate and indifference. The sex in this novel is virginal and is PG at best. It was all about the story line and I love that. We followed the lost of a promising life; a single, homeless, unemployed almost widow trying to get by and a man with a literal vault of secrets and quite the mental illness.
Once this story picks up speed, it doesn't slow. It holds you and dare you to take this journey across the pond. As usual, nothing beats a good UK novel written by someone from the UK or at the very least, with a strong hold in their culture. The dialect was definitely British and I love using my dictionary as I sorted through British slang.
It was an emotional roller coaster and I didn't wanna get off this ride. There is a moment for every one and after the first 10% I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I read it all in an afternoon as I was unable to move until I saw 100% on my kindle. This is normally when I know a book is good and has you right where it wants you.
I was surprised at the authors age because the pain and struggles were real and spoke of more worldly experience than her 23 years. All the same though, congratulations on tapping and unlocking some intense feelings and reactions.
I love it. I recommend it and what makes it even better, it's currently FREE on Amazon and Smashword.

1.5 stars - OK, I can't decide if I should say DNF or not. At about half way through I started skimming. So I got to the end, but I can't say I read all the meat in the middle. Honest to goodness, I have no idea why I had such a completely different experience with this book than apparently most of the readers. All I can do is tell you some of the things that did not work for me in this book:
1) Caleb seemed like a user. I just didn't feel like he was genuine. I still don't. I think he knew he was going to die all along and wanted an heir or something. Maybe I just read him wrong. He wasn't terrible, but he just didn't come across sincere to me.
2) Gwen didn't really have a lot of likeable qualities. She was young, inexperienced, naive, and in the end...well, that brings me to #3.
3) Um, can we say abusive relationship? Nathan was really obviously abusive to me -- a bit physically, but mostly mentally and emotionally. At minimum he had anger management issues up the wazoo. And yes, I know there were reasons for him being the way he was, but he was 100% genuinely abusive to Gwen, and she was unfortunately a typical domestic violence victim. The speed with which she forgave him was sickening. And I guess I just didn't sign up to read a love story between an abuser and his victim. I'm guessing I'm missing something that everyone else saw, but I just could NOT get past this point. THIS is what ruined the book for me.
4) The book was boring. Seriously, NOTHING happened. Hence why I started skimming. I know they had to show Gwen grieving, but there just wasn't a lot else there for me.
So yeah, those are the basics. I honestly have never given such a low rating, mostly b/c if a book is so totally not to my liking I will DNF it. But I guess I just kept expecting some redemption. *sigh* Oh well.

Gaaaah, this book was CRAZY good! I picked it up as a freebie from a friend's list of freebies, so it was just chilling on my kindle, and I was like, well it has a cool cover and sounds like a good story, so I'll just start it out and see how it goes.
And then a couple hours into reading I'm bawling my eyes and going, holy crap this book is so insanely good how have I not heard a million awesome things about this book and author before???? And then another few hours later I'm done with the book and just kind of staring into space feeling like. Whoa. That was intense, and that story was so... whoa. I haven't felt a book with an emotional wallop like that in awhile. And then my next thought was, omg, when the hell does book 2 come out?!?!?! In the meantime I'll be going to pick up her previous books, because DAMN, this book was good. All I want out of a book is for it to make me FEEL. So many books these days are all about the sexy sex or the kind of same 'ole same 'ole alpha male stuff or playing dumb immature games with each other that it all reads the same it blurs together where you can't remember one book from another. But a book that can reach down and wrench your emotions and make you *feel* so deeply? Those are the rare ones, kids, and Broken does just that.
Now... I just need a date for when book 2 comes out, because OH MY GOD!!!! I NEED ALL OF THE ANSWERS AND ALL OF THE CLOSURE! Though really, I'm not complaining, because I was so glad Murphy didn't rush things that could have been rushed in this book or simplify complex emotional situations. Bravo!

This book doesn't start that strong, until you actually think back to being that young and inexperienced. Don’t give up after only reading the beginning, trust me it’s well worth it to continue.
For me THIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! IT WENT WHERE I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO GO! Such a great book! Highly recommend!!
