Broken Dreams (Shattered Lives #1)

My Review

This was a story that I really enjoyed it had a slow confusing start but it wasn’t long before it all came together. It has an interesting story line that will hold your interest giving back details as needed. The characters are very likeable you really find yourself invested in them and the story as the wedding takes place and falls apart when life as everyone knows it changes leaving people in shock and running for their lives. The fight for survival takes off giving you a page turner.

From the first page Daniel grabs your heart at all he had to go through and his fight for freedom from the program. Elaina I really liked her attitude and sassy ways never taking things at face value she was a strong character. There were other characters I liked and some I didn’t a few I found a little confusing but for the most part I enjoyed them.

The only issues I have with this story was way too long with information that is not needed. It is nice to read some about their past but a lot is just too much and takes away from the story along with too much filler you do not need to know every detail and a few were repeated side beside. I just wanted to get on with the story and see how things were going to go.

The author gives you an interesting read filled with gore, action along with a ton of drama and romance. This is a story that I think most will enjoy even if you do not care for this kind of read. If you are into this genre it is a book you do not want to miss you will love it. I found it very enjoyable but too long. For me it was worth the read.

Summary

Elaina Cooper’s world was turned upside down on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. She was about to marry Henry Daniels, the man of her dreams -- or so she thought. Just as she was to walk down the aisle, screams pierced the air.

In the days that followed, questions lingered in Elaina’s mind. Why did Henry seem to know so much about what was happening? And why did she feel like he was keeping secrets from her? Henry knew that his haunted past would eventually catch up to him…in more ways than one. Through all of this, he must face his demons, and Elaina must decide whether she can accept who he is. Henry is determined to fight to the very end to make their sexy, mercurial relationship work no matter what staggers in their path.

Along with their ragtag band of survivors, they must travel south to face Henry’s fears. There will be joys and loss but, in the end, is love enough to hold them together?
