Unbroken is book two in Ms. Ryan's The Gladewater series and it is one that you will definitely want to read. She tells us a store of two people who you would not expect to connect but they do. Maggie and Zane are complete opposites when it comes to everything. Maggie is a small-town cafe owner that suffers from low self-esteem and is really not a party type of girl, whereas Zane is a big city doctor that is a bit of a playboy and not one that wants to be in a relationship. However, there is a saying that opposites do attract and this is exactly what happens when Maggie and Zane meet. When they are together sparks fly and everyone around them can see it. Their romance is not one that is smooth and wonderful.
Maggie is a sweet woman who runs the town's cafe with her brother however her mother is not that accepting of her life or her job. Her love life is non-existent due to a situation that happened in her past. When she meets Zane, a good friend of her best friend, Dani, all her thoughts go astray. He is handsome, well educated, and full of southern charm. Whenever he comes to visit Dani he always seems to find time to go to the cafe and see Maggie. She decides to give him a chance and see where it can lead, but will she regret it or will this be the ride of her life? When they are together things heat up and fires burn hot but will it last?
Zane is a big city doctor that is into one-night-stands with women that are superficial and only after one thing, money. He doesn't do relationships until he meets Maggie, the small-town girl that has all his attention. She is everything that he thought never really wanted. The more he sees her the more he is falling for her. Is she the one that has Zane changing his playboy ways? Their time together is full of passion, laughs and fun.
Maggie and Zane seem like they were meant to be together, however when things are not as they seem and communication is lacking hearts are broken. Can Zane convince Maggie that she is the one for him? When danger arrives, will Maggie and Zane's relationship survive?
Ms. Ryan does a wonderful job at keeping your attention right from the start with her writing style and her storyline. Although Unbroken is book two and is a standalone, I recommend reading the first book Collide, as you will get more insight into how everyone is related and how Maggie and Zane's first meeting happens. I recommend adding Unbroken to your TBR list.
