This is the best love triangle book I've read.
Anybody that knows me and my reading habits will know that I am usually not a fan of a love triangle book. They all follow the same pattern.. young, naive, virginal girl who suddenly has the whole of the male college population falling at her feet. Thank god this wasn't one of those. The characters are older, a little more mature and more importantly? Not one of them is perfect!

At first I was really drawn to Unbreak Me. I was hooked by the first chapter and I wanted to find out why Maggie was so broken. When I got in to the grit of the read and all secrets were revealed, I realized one thing…. I HATED MAGGIE
I think she is a home wrecker, a liar, manipulative, a coward and a horrible Heroine.
Why would I EVER want to read a story with that kind of leading lady? There is no redeeming quality about her and on top of that, TWO GREAT guys ...more

Gitte: I loved this roller coaster story. It was full of emotion, the characters were great and the writing was almost flawless for a debut Author. What a refreshing twisted story line, I loved it.

This book actually had great potential but the inconsistencies and the shortness of it (196 pages) became its downsides for me.
The Plot:
Maggie leaves her fiancé a few weeks before the wedding and goes to another city to live in. A year later, she is back in town to be the bridesmaid in her sister’s wedding to her ex-fiancé William. On the wedding day, just after something happens to prevent the ceremony, she meets a hot bad boy, Asher, who is a rock star with a criminal record of violence. He i ...more

4.5 stars. Love, love, loved this book. Seriously fantastic emotional wonderful book. All sorts of redemption and secrets and wonderfulness. Full review to come...
"When you know the whole story, you won't want me anymore. I'm that kind of girl."
I really enjoyed this book. Most of the characters were likable and the story was realistic. Right from the beginning readers know that Maggie has a few skeletons in her closet. Slowly throughout the book Maggie's secrets are revealed, and this poor girl has been through alot.

After one year since she ran away, Maggie is back home to her sister wedding. She is marrying her ex-fiancé Will.
The first thought that crossed my mind was WHAT THE HELL happened to her!
What caused her to cancel her own wedding and run away like that.
One thing we know for sure is how broken and unworthy of love she feels. She accepts all the things people say about her and it does became her reality. If people say she is not good, she believes them.
But she is set to be ...more

I don’t know what I was expecting but this book exceeded my expectations.
It really grabs you from the beginning. It caught me completely off guard. I mean whose sister would do that?? And poor Maggie….what kind of parents actually say that sort of thing to their children. I can’t say that my own mother hasn’t said some questionable things to me but Maggie’s father takes it to a completely different level.
Asher is wonderful. He isn’t falling for Maggie’s usual act and knows there is ...more

100% 5star book for me! I loved every last chapter it really was amazing. It didn't feel rushed it was set at a nice pace! I LOVED the fact we have 3 pov I've never read a book like that before and I must say it was brilliant. I HATE love triangles because you always end up hating the female! But One thing I'm going to say is THIS IS NOT A LOVE TRIANGLE you have to read it to understand but don't get put off thinking it is, It is nothing like a love triangle.

What can I say about this book? I was debating with myself between 4 and 5 stars. This was an amazing book but would I re-read it? Is it AS amazing as some other 5 star books I have rated? The answer? I'm not sure. But the deciding factor in my rating was this: this book made me cry. I can count on 2 hands the books that have accomplished this. And not to toot my own horn or anything, but I read a LOT. It takes quite a bit to get to me on that level because I'

JESS! Shout out to you g/f for the book recommendation. Best one I've EVER gotten. I adored this book. What a book of finding yourself, letting your self loathing go, and learning to love for the very first time.

Our Maggie is one sexy redhead. But she's also one screwed up gal with enough baggage to fill a 747. At only 21, this girl has been through more than her fair share of heartache and trials. More than enough. In fact, it's so hard to wrap you ...more

To be honest I'm not too sure if I even liked this book. I didnt loathe it but didnt love it, but not too sure if I even liked it....
All in all it felt pretty rushed especially the last 10%.
So many loose ends were left open. Is there supposed to be a second book? Did Krystal end up with Tyler? Did Asher get anywhere in his attempt to see his daughter? What happened after the paintings were displayed? I'm not even sure Maggie and Asher even got their HEA....

Dear god I loved this book.

not really.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED!! ...more

This was a short but great read that I really enjoyed and Asher was just yummy.
“I was nothing but a failure. A fucked-up, broken shame.

I’ll find you in the pieces and that will unbreak me.”

Phew! This story is a relatively quick read but my it is packed with angst and emotion. The story of maggies past is slowly told by three separate POV Maggies, Ashers (swoon) and Wills. Every chapter pulls you in a little more and I really struggled to put this book down. I thoroughly recommend it, just wish I could have been a bit longer and the epilogue giving more, maybe about Will.
“If you’re broken, I’ll fix you…” And “If you shatter, I’ll find you…” *Sighs*
Enjoyed the story line/characters/over loaded with male hotness
Loved Loved Loved Asher!! Yummy!! Overall a good read..

“With a dreamy sigh, I prop my chin on my fists. “Who knew that one day I’d be on a date with the lead singer from a famous boy band?”
He scowls. “Infinite Gray was not a boy band.”
“Were there any girls in the band?”
“No.”
“That makes you a boy band.”
“It made us an all-male rock group.”
I bite back my smile. He’s so cute when he’s irritated. “Right, like ’N Sync.”
He winces. “Not like ’N Sync. Jesus, watch where you hurl those things. Words hurt, Maggie.”
