Publisher: Signet
Purchased: Bought from Borders

What I Loved: The furthering of the story of the community of Broken Heart OK. I am really loving how the elements are coming together and the community is really bonding together. The "wish" was probably my favorite moment in the book because it really was funny but I think great for the town.

What I Liked: Simone and Braddock had a really sweet story. I think they both felt a little bit like they didn't belong but it was fun to watch how they ended up belonging like everyone else.

Complaints: None really! This wasn't my favorite book in the series but it was still a really fun read.

Why I gave it a 3: This book was a great continuation of the story of Broken Heart but it just wasn't my favorite. That being said, do not skip it--Simone and Braddock are a really good couple and you will miss some "plot" forwards. Well worth the time it took to read!

Who I would recommend it too: PNR readers who have read the rest of the series. It really is one of those fun series that just make you smile!

So glad to be back with Clay and Maggie, but this one was so heart breaking after picking up where the last book left off.  Maggie is heart broken after receiving a letter from Clay telling her to move on.  Her friends are trying their best to get her back out in the dating world, but Maggie knows her heart has already been given away.  Clay regrets his decision to let Maggie go as he himself can't move on from her.  However through treatment he is realizing that Maggie is the catalyst for many of his breakdowns, and now he has to figure out how the person that brings light to his world also causes the dark.  Due to an unforeseen tragedy, Clay has to cut treatment short and come back home.  Not prepared to face the challenges ahead of him, Clay struggles to apply all the coping mechanisms that were taught to him at the treatment center when he is at home. He was also unprepared as to how to keep his distance from Maggie.  Maggie feeling she had the strength to stay away from Clay found her resolve slipping away at the first moment they made eye contact.  I wish I could say Maggie and Clay have it easier in this book, but every moment is a struggle for them, which in a way makes this book actually seem real.  Mental health can't be cured in a chapter or by popping a pill instantly and Clay will take you down into his darkest thoughts and has you wishing you were there to help pull him out.  I absolutely love Maggie and Clay's story and the awareness that has been brought out through them on the struggles so many have with mental health.

I really liked out this book continued the story. It was great seeing the give and take between Rome and Calloway. I was really able to feel for both characters, rather than taking sides.
I can't wait to read what happens next!!!

I really enjoyed Beneath Broken. Watching two people that had suffered so much pain and loss in their lives try to rebuild and move on was heartbreaking. The way that the characters were able to support each other and provide the strength that had been missing was amazing. There were moments that I was sure I was going to cry, and others that I was so happy for them I could feel the love. This was a great read and I can't wait for the next book.

Once again, Ms Clopton takes us to  Four Hearts Ranch for a story about loss and love.  Abby lost her husband in a tragic accident 2 years before and decided she needed a change of scenery to get herself back. She didn't count on almost running over Bo and losing her heart to him.  Bo is not the relationship type, but there is something about Abby that makes him look at his life again.  Throw in a son he never knew about and you have the makings of a beautiful love story.
I really enjoyed this book.  Abby was so broken when she came to Wishing Springs.  Bo was just what she needed to help heal her heart.  Little Levi was also the balm that her soul needed to heal.  I loved watching these two fall for each other.  Even though they fought it, I just knew they would not be able to resist.
In addition to Bo and Abby's story, we get to check in with the colorful and energetic people in the town.  I am looking forward to seeing how the relationship between Pebble and Rand develops.  I am holding out hope for them!  This is a wonderful series and one I highly recommend!

I was really excited to start In The Shadow of Satellites because its based in New Zealand, a town where i would holiday a lot and had visited. Being able to know  the places describe in the story are was a great feeling. Sians character had a huge amount of depth to it, lots of heart breaking moments and some growth. I loved Luke he was a great character, also battling his own demons but being able to support Sian with hers as well as his own was a huge plus for me. Amanda Dick takes two broken characters puts them together and creates a story of love, loss and mending broken hearts. The plotline execution was great, a real life event made into a believable storyline. i did enjoy this book, i even loved the secondary characters. If you are looking for a second chance romance that hits the sweet spot this ones for you.

I loved this follow up story of Beau & Kate. I loved the first book and wanted more when it ended. This book is a wonderful continuation. I really enjoyed seeing where life took Beau & Kate.

I've been waiting for this book for what feels like forever. Callow and Kayden's story is just so heartfelt. This book was just as encompassing as the first one. The way this one ends is a bit disappointing but I understand there may be a third book. I sure hope so, I just can wait to see what lies ahead for these two. You must read this after the first book, but it's a great continuation.

I loved this book.  I will admit that I became frustrated with both main characters at certain points in the book, and felt a little heart broken throughout parts, but the overall story line is great.  I agree with one of the other reviews that the story and characters have stuck with me the last couple days since I finished the book.  I look forward to reading more from this author.

Amber has won my heart again with her lovely narrative. Bleeding Hearts, second in the Heart's Spring series, continues the story of Joe who was jilted by Elizabeth. Joe grows and matures in this story, yet he still is irritating at times. His gentlemanly ways were so sweet and in the end, well, he won me over. :-)

Sally, the books heroine was truly hurting. I really was able to feel her pain, and see her longing. I loved reading the story of her life.

This story is a hauntingly beautiful take of forgiveness, redemption, perseverance, and grace. It's my favorite book of the series so far.

Second in the series, Those Ones Who Got Away, surprised me for a minute. It wasn't like the first book, and I realized I would have been disappointed if it was. These survivors are moving on with their lives and at different stages. By the second chapter I was completely swept up with Rebecca and Garretts story. Both had past demons and that raised their ugly head at times. Rebecca and Garrett slowly learned to lean on each other and love began to grow Learning that together, they just might make it.
Roni Loren has written another great story worthy of a five-star rating and I highly recommend this series.

I loved this book better than the first one! I was glad when Tommie woke up in his mind and realized that his wife was there for him before Angel dropped into the picture, it was like a aha moment for him and truthfully she only wanted what was best for him and she gave everything she had and I didn't like when Tommie couldn't see that his wife was on the outside looking in until his bandmate had to tell him. I really like this story and I was waiting for Jess to get her props that she worked so hard for!

Shackled Lily was a great sequel to Shattered Rose.  I absolutely enjoyed both stories. Good insight into emotional issues, and good Christian resolution to those issues.

I fell in love with Preppy along with the rest of the book world when I met him in King. Then I read the first part of his story and I fell even harder. He is so freaking hilarious, but damaged. So his book was emotional but had this lightness to it as well.

This second installment was much more what I am used to from Frazier. It was heavy and broke my heart, but thats to be expected considering what Preppy has been through. It also left me shocked and willing to beg for the final book.

When the story begins Dre is back in Florida and Preppy has just woken up. At this point my heart started breaking and it stayed broken for these two people damaged souls. Dre finally has her life together, but Preppy is struggling with so many things. I actually loved him even more after reading this second installment. My heart was broken because you could feel his struggle.

In the beginning Frazier mentioned this story will focus more on Dre and Preppy as individuals since they have so much to overcome. I naturally wanted more romance and interaction between them, but in the end I loved the direction the story took and like the first installment left you shocked and dying for the final book!

This is a book to get lost in for a couple of hours.  What a great second chance story.  We see how Caleb and Wren are thrown together because of thei parents.  The last thing anyone expected was for the 2 troubles youths to form a bond that would shape who they become.  They fought their attraction for each other to no avail.  After being heartbroken for their separation they must come together after a tragedy.  They find the spark is still there.  What a great story I finished it in 1 day.  I have always loved kahlen's writing and this book does not disappoint.

Brilliant and Brutally Heartbreaking !

This is not a stand alone story, but more importantly, it is even better than the first one. Vinny and Lilly had a totally dysfunctional relationship. The fault was mostly Vinny though. He cheated on the supposed love of his life and then used her loyalty as a handy excuse to push her away. I hated him, but because of some very talented writing I kinda felt sorry for him by the end of the book. I couldn't help but get emotional while reading this book.
This was an awesome read from a very talented author. Gah ! I cannot wait for Unbreak My Heart ....

When I saw that Ethan Lloyd and Kerri Wilsons story would be the 2nd book after Revenge in Love I was really looking forward to reading it.  I felt we only caught glimpses of Ethan and Kerri through their interaction with Alex Damon and Natalie Hall.  I knew there had to more to their story and I was not disappointed. I think what really add to my enjoyment of this book is that the readers really got to see that there is more to Kerris character than being the close off investment banker.  Finding out more about her family history really brought another side to her. I think it was a great idea on Nadias part to pair her with Ethan Lloyd because they balance out each other.  They faced some speed bumps along the way, but eventually they arrive at their happy ending.  I would read this book again and recommend it.
