About the author

Melissa Keir has always wanted to be an author when she wasn’t hoping for a career as a race car driver. Her love of books was instilled by her mother and grandparents who were avid readers. She’d often sneak books away from them so that she could fantasize about those strong alpha males and plucky heroines. In middle school and high school, Melissa used to write sappy love poems and shared them with her friends and still has those poems today! In college her writing changed to sarcastic musings on life as well as poems with a modern twist on fairy tales and won awards for her writing. You can find many of these musings along with her latest releases on her website and blog.

I've never been a huge cowboy romance reader, that is until I started reading Melissa Keir. Her writing style is engaging and makes me wish I lived on a ranch. In Broke Dreams, we meet two lovers whose lives are changed forever by an accident. Can love overcome or is it all just Broken Dreams? I loved this one. While I felt bad for Trey, my heart went out to Sara. She's such a strong woman and an inspiration. Highly recommend!

My Rating: 5 stars

Lovely short story. Trey was adorable proving himself well adapted and confident in his new body, and begging her forgiveness. I hearted it. 3,5 stars.

Not bad, but not great either.

Too much focus on things that didn't matter, and not enough on what did. Really rough audiobook, the sound quality wasn't very good.

It felt like both a new author and a new audiobook reader.

Even though this is book five in a series and I had not read the other books, I had no problem at all – it read perfectly fine as a standalone. As for the characters, there were times I felt empathy for Trey, and other times I felt like kicking him myself – and then cheering him on as he moved in the right direction. I would like to have read more about Sara, as it seemed she was on a back-burner for part of the story. I really enjoyed the epilogue and I’m looking forward to more from this author.

The story was solid and moving. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at once. While it was a short story, it felt very complete. You are more than just your working parts. A person's character starts from within, sometimes it takes a bit more to get us to see that.

I did listen to the audio of this book and wasn't a huge fan of the narration of the story. It felt echoy, like it was recorded in a bathroom or a large empty space and, it was very monotone throughout much of it.

Only complaint is that it was too short.

Good story, but I felt it was rushed. I would have appreciated a more in-depth glimpse at Sara's concerns as well as a more realistic portrayal of Trey's journey from despair to full acceptance that his life was changed but not destroyed.
