Breaking Hearts

Storybook Lake #3

by Melissa Shirley

Can tragedies have a happy ending in Storybook Lake?Every town has one-a mean girl, hell-bent on taking down everything in her path-and Danielle Ranier played the role to a tee. She broke up Storybook Lake's most beloved couple and to save herself from a lifetime of lectures on morality, she hopped on the first plane out of town. Six years, one child, and a big secret later, she's back, fleeing from her abusive husband, who isn't quite willing to set her free. Now on trial for a murder she didn't commit, Simon Hunter, the only man she's ever loved is offering her a lifetime of love and security. If she could only reveal the secrets long-held inside her, a family that never was might finally come together . . .

Thanks to Kensington books (Lyrical Shine) via NetGalley for a copy of this book!

Danielle wasn't very nice when she was younger. However, Karma baby (gotta love it)! She now has a child and she's back in town running from her abusive husband. Of course, he doesn't want her free from him. She's on trial for a murder she didn't commit.

Simon, her hero, is offering her an escape of love and security. But, she has secrets! How's that going to play out?

Danielle was a horrid person, but I did feel sorry for her. I enjoyed this book!!

This is a quick read (it's also short) and it's well written, Danielle is not the most appealing character I've read but Shirley did a good job with making you root for her when she needs it. THanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Try this one if you'd like a story of love and redemption.
