Broken Wings
What happens when you pause to find a light amidst the darkness?
Nineteen year old Tori is just trying to make it through each day. Haunted by a past that she can’t escape, she struggles to find herself in a world filled with chaos. She never factored love into any part of her future. When Danny enters her life, it makes her question everything. He brings her peace, but for how long. And is it enough? One. Two. Three. Breathe.
Danny is sick of the same girls playing the same games. He’s not sure what he’s looking for when he runs into Tori. It soon becomes obvious that she has what he’s been missing. But in order to win her heart, he must first help her overcome the demons that threaten to consume her. As a football player, he’s used to putting everything on the line. Only this time, the stakes have never been higher.

Wow!!! Jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem owej historii...za zaczęła się tak zwyczajnie.Taka sobie niepozorna dziewczyna w kapturze i chłopak...a potem skrywane tajemnice, to jak jedna chwila, jedna decyzja może napiętnować Twoje życie, jak nieodpowiednia pomoc, brak wsparcia, brak celu w życiu powoduje że pragniesz z sobą skończyć...Motyl, owad tak piękny w swojej istocie a tak ulotny, tak majestatyczny w swym locie, jakby chciał zwolnić bieg życia, obserwująć jego lot momentami mam wrażenie jakby czas stanął w mijscu i tak tu w tej książce MOTYL jak dla mnie symbolizował zatrzymanie, przeanalizowanie życia a potem wznowienie ruchu jego majestatycznych skrzydł lot ku przyszłości...
Tori, przebyła długą drogę ku "uzdrowieniu", wreszcie pojęła istotę swego "probleu" i go zaakceptowała a owy "POTWÓR" na zawsze schował się w swej jaskini
GORĄCO POLECAM !!! i nei zdziw się jak na końcu będziesz łapać chusteczkę za chusteczką♥♥♥ W tej książce nei znajdziesz seksu a jedynie piękny moment zbliżenia, jedności obyu dusz łaczących się w jedno, zaznsz miłosci od pierwszego wejrzenia;) doznasz bólu porzucenia...

This book took me on a roller coaster of ups and downs right along with Tori and Danny. They each find a connection that's unexpected and they begin to heal each other through it. This book deals with depression, which is not covered in many books. I think that Sarah approached this in a very real way because something of this nature is not fixed overnight. It takes work and therapy and that was exactly the road that was taken here.
The end was so beautiful, it me cry so hard, not because it was sad but because it was so happy.
"You're my good." <3

Broken Wings is an emotional read that at times I found hard to read. Dealing with issues that I know all too well...depression and mental health, Sarah King did a fabulous job showing the struggles one can go through not only for the person but also those who are close to you and love you.
Beautiful written, Broken Wings is the first book I have read by this author but definitely will not be the last.

Before you read this, I am here for you, always.
This book is super awesome and sheds some light on matters that some may not understand fully. Sarah did a phenomonial job with the descriptive parts of this book, it took my breath away!
It is very near to my heart and I am sure you know at least one (weather it is known or not) perosn that is or has delt with the issues brought to light in this story!
I can not wait for the other books to get into my greedy little paws. <3

Five stars!!!
I loved this book!! There are some romance books that don't need good sex scenes, because of the emotional overload, this is one of those books. I feel that there should be more books like this about these issues.

Depression Sucks, But LIFE is Worth Living
I am thankful for this candid look at depression and the feelings of worthlessness that it brings. I enjoy the way King brings her characters to life. I am hopeful others can find encouragement to LIVE through your words. Thank you, Sarah, for speaking out and reminding the world that depression and anxiety do not make one a freak. People do not need to hide in shame if they struggle with a mental illness. They are not alone and there is hope for a bright tomorrow!

What an emotional roller coaster this book took me on. As a person that suffers from depression and anxiety this book really hit home.. I related to Tori so much .. there where several times when I was like that's me. She sounds just like me .. I understand exactly what she was feeling ..
I loved it.. I have read books from the author before but goodness this one blew them out of the water. She has reached a new level of awesomeness in my book. The isn't the type of book I normally read and I'm thankful for that because it's more. It's not just the love, sex, and romance .. it much more emotional and deep.
I can't wait for the rest in the series.

The monster in BROKEN WINGS is certainly terrifying and works as the conflict that keeps Tori and Danny from reaching their true potential. King does an amazing job at establishing setting. I felt as if I was right back in college with all the drinking, parties, and first loves. Her characters are true to life. Tori tries to make sense of the world while her past weighs heavily on just about every one of her choices. Danny is the typical college jock, until he reveals a deeper more sensitive side of himself that draws him to a different type of girl. Tori's monstrous issues are handled with sensitivity and understanding. The romantic scenes are sizzling and meaningful. Overall, King does a great job blending passion with life's real issues. I'm excited to read another novel in this series.

I absolutely loved this book. I was not expecting to feel so deeply for the characters. Having anxiety and the voice that tells us things we know aren't true, but believe them anyway, it was so real for me. I wish people could understand what it's like to not always know why you feel the way you do and to know that it can't always be controlled. This book can help shed light on these things and I will definitely be recommending this to everyone I know who lives with anxiety and depression. To everyone. Everyone needs to get a peek inside the life of someone who can't always vocalize what's going on in their mind. It can be so hard to talk about these things and I am so thankful for those who can put them into words.
