Bent Not Broken (The Forgiving Series #1)
by

This was a very intense read filled with pain, hurt, surprises,
anger and I think a little hate. Peyton has not had an easy life her father is
not a nice man. With her running for her life she runs to her friend’s house whose
father helps her not only by taking her in but dealing with her father, getting
over the abuse and finding herself. You get to read both side getting a more
meaningful read. For a debut book it really was a good. The only issue I have
is it has more filler than I like in my stories. I was a little confused if
they both lived on the same street or near each other.
The story does pull you in, I doubt you can read this and
not have your heart go out to Peyton. Abuse of any kind is hard not only on the
reader but the characters as it is in real life. I found it very easy to relate
to this character. In some forms it bought back my childhood comparing mine to
hers. The romance was nice it is a story as old as time, older man falls for
younger girl. I think they both have had a crush on each other for a long time.
Denton marriage wasn’t easy, his ex even harder to deal with. His love for his
child was touching. The love that grew for Peyton is wonderful, the patients he
has, the willing to step back let her work out her feeling was great. Peyton is
a little wishy washy but who can blame her after all she has had to deal with.
For the most part it was a great read, with less filler it
would be an outstanding read. The author does pull you in making your feel what
each character is going through. It is
pretty easy to work out the plot but still comes at a surprise and shock.
Peyton’s father got what he deserved to bad it wasn’t done earlier and in a
better way that doesn’t leave its mark on her. This was a story I really did
enjoy and am looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

Summary
Bent Not Broken
A harrowing story of Pain...Abuse...Fear...and the Fight for Survival
Peyton Warner
The typical life of a 22-year-old should be one of promise and enjoyment. One that is built upon the making of memories, gaining experiences and realizing goals for the future.
Peyton Warner is not your typical 22-year-old; she has been the victim of on-going torment and suffering. She's faced the deepest, darkest demons no woman should ever have to encounter. Peyton assumed the worst of these horrendous horrors were behind her...she was terribly wrong.
Denton Whitetower
When describing the perfect world and those in it, Denton Whitetower is the epitome of such perfection. He is a handsome forty something single father, thriving business owner and eldest child in a family that truly knows the meaning of unconditional love. He assumed his chance for love had passed him by, so he stopped looking...he was wrong.
One fateful evening, both of their lives will change forever, when they are thrust together as Peyton's nightmare becomes her reality, once more. She is accustomed to fighting the demons and tremendous horrors that have plagued her alone however this time, the stakes have increased tremendously. This time, Peyton is fighting not only for her own survival but for a love that has been threatened...a love she just may lose.
Will Peyton be successful? Will she and Denton be given the chance to have their happy ending, or will the fear and threat of danger that lurks around every corner completely, utterly consume her? Can Peyton finally end this nightmare and be the hero of her own story, or will the evil that shadows her destroy all she has embraced...once and for all?
