Broken

EDITING is apparently a lost art. The sentences begining in first person but changing to third person makes this book HORRIBLE in my opinion. Great story but come-on, doesn't anyone proofread before publishing? This is one thing that SCREAMS ERROR fairly loudly. I didn't even try to finish reading it after the 4th chapter when the person perspective was rampantly changing.

Oh, this one goes straight for your heart! I thought this was a excellent book and a perfect way to start this new series. An avalanche of feels, emotion and angst combine with drama to create a potent brew that goes down smoothly but burns once it gets there. My heart was honestly an aching mess as I read this book. Complex characters you feel for and connect with easily keep your attention focused and your heart invested in the game as Luc and Lexi's story unfolds. I am electing to post a forthright review.

Elise Faber’s BROKEN is the perfect start to the Breakers Hockey series. GM of the Baltimore Breakers hockey franchise, Luc Masterson, is in love with his best friend, Lexi Hallbright. Unfortunately, Lexi was married and works for the team. Then she discovered her husband cheated on her and is getting a divorce. Luc patiently supports Lexi, not wanting to make a move too soon. I like both Luc and Lexi characters. They are devoted friends who understand and care for each other. They both have complicated past. Luc is a great guy who pays attention to details. I love all the little things that he does. Lexi is a smart heroine. I enjoyed the soul searching they both did throughout the story. I appreciated how the book crossed over from the Gold Hockey series. Luc was the mentor of Charlotte Harris the GM of the Gold (CHARGING, Gold Hockey # 10). I love that she made an appearance in this story. BROKEN is skillfully written and thought-provoking. The story felt realistic and was heartwarming. I recommend this book to people who enjoy sports romances and/or friends to lover’s romances. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
