5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Seven years ago, my life changed forever. One accident and the person I saw in the mirror no longer resembled the woman I used to be. I was lost and confused inside my own body. I felt alone and disconnected from the world, carrying the incredible weight of guilt and loss that wasn’t even mine to harbor.
Then fate led me to Leo James. He taught me that crazy could be perfectly normal and it shouldn’t hurt to breathe. Don’t get me wrong. Leo isn’t perfect. He has his own cross to bear, and the truth is, that might be why I fell for him in the first place. But despite everything he does for me, learning to forgive myself is infinitely harder than overlooking the flaws of another.
Now, the secrets and lies of our past have begun to dictate our future—threatening to ruin us before we get the chance to try. Perhaps we were cursed from the start. Or maybe, just maybe, the remnants of our fractured lives will fit together to form one whole, where love isn’t questioned and being happy is…well, easy.
Can a second broken soul be enough to fill the voids of my own? Or will such scarred pasts prove too much for our love alone to overcome?
Review
It is no secret around here that I am huge Aly Martinez fan. I have read all of her books. I was hooked from the very first one. Her men are always alpha and her girls are always sassy. Her stories are always emotional and she ALWAYS gets me with a surprise or a plot twist of some kind. Combine all of that with her fantastic writing style and I am NEVER disappointed. Like EVER.
Broken Course really was amazing and even though you could probably read it as a standalone, you shouldn’t! You should definitely read the first two books in the series, Changing Course and Stolen Course, then read Among the Echoes (a standalone novel, so that you can meet Leo properly) to really experience how awesome Broken Course is.
You meet Sarah and Leo in the previous novels in this series and while I have always had a soft spot for Leo, Sarah was never my favorite. She is kinda cray cray and does some really terrible things that I didn’t think I could ever get over. Turns out I was wrong. I loved both Sarah and Leo. They are both have such intense and incredibly sad past that I couldn’t help but love them both and I found that I really wanted a happily-ever-after for Sarah. Especially when she meets Leo!
Holy hotness, Batman! Leo is hot and bad-ass and alpha and so fucked up. He is a perfect book boyfriend! Sarah is just as messed up but I really loved how together they were good and forgiving with each other. They really did make my heart smile, even when Sarah was fighting her feelings a bit.
Of course, Aly had to bring out all the stops and surprise us at the end and I absolutely loved it. I would not have changed a thing. This is a must read folks. Get on it, now. You do not want to miss Leo and Sarah’s story of redemption and moving on.
