Broken Girl by Lexie WinstonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Cliffhanger Alert!
This book continues smoothly from the first in the series and I have to say it just gets better. Reading this is like hearing the best kind of juicy gossip and being desperate to know what happens next.
After the awful ‘prank’ played on Harlow by her new family, she retreats to her new friends Alex and Shane for comfort and spends time plotting Jacinta’s demise. I love Alex and Shane. They are such lovely supporting characters. They are fun, warm and welcoming. They are really caring and supportive of Harlow, despite having feelings of their own for Jacinta.
Harlow decides that she won’t run away, back to the East Coast because of having to look after her foster father’s horses whilst on loan to a movie. She also loves her grandparents and newly found father. She agrees to return back to the family home provided she doesn’t have to put up with any nonsense. She returns and is thrown headfirst into learning about the family companies.
There are so many moving parts to this story. There are multiple POV and some of those overlap a little, which helps work out what’s really going on. I like that the book not only focuses on the main family but also their friends and staff. I can almost see the author’s thought processes about a future spin-off series though!
Harlow’s Nana rocks. She is a force to be reckoned with in this book. She’s a stalwart defender of her new granddaughter and her foul mouth has me in fits when she rants about the behaviour of her other grandchildren.
This is not a clean romance by any means, but there isn’t any actual sex, just plenty of groping and kissing. It actually ratchets up the tension between Harlow and the guys, as we see things slowly change in how they perceive her.
I could probably re-read the book all over again to try and get my head completely around everything that happened. I really want the next book to come out soon because the cliffhanger is brutal. I also want to see if all the hints I picked up about what’s going on made me believe the right thing.
A really, really good read.
