The original review can be found on Sizzling Hot Books.I’ve been sitting on my review for Beautiful and Broken for almost two months now. Not because it wasn’t review worthy of course, more so the opposite, really. It’s just that my time has not been in excess when it comes to reviewing.Beautiful and Broken was Ms. Hubbard’s first contemporary novel, and let me tell you…she did an OUTSTANDING job, far surpassing my expectations, in fact.This is the story of Molly. You see, Molly was betrayed by her sister when the girl went and did the  unthinkable. She had an affair with her fiance. Now Molly’s stuck nursing a broken heart while trying to put on a happy face for everyone else. Until one night, it all changes and Molly goes out on the town with her roommate, meeting a man, and having a one night stand with him. The quiet, sexy, alpha boxer Sawyer is her conquest. Sawyer was supposed to help her get over her ex, but is that even possible?Maybe…especially when her one night stand turns into a business proposition of sorts.Sawyer needs a house and he wants Molly to find it for him. Molly agrees, regardless of how he makes her feel. Wild, untamed, and needy…for him. But with the heart involved, who knows what’s going to happen…Molly was a heroine unlike any other. Vulnerable, but tough. Angry, but so likable and kind at the same time. She doesn’t like to disappoint the people around her, and she REALLY  doesn’t like to step out of her comfort zone. She jumps off the pages with her humor, and makes you want to be her friend. Loved everything about her.Sawyer…sweet Jesus, that man KNOWS how to make you swoon. Sexy, charming, charismatic, secretive, an alpha with a side that will make you shiver. Loved him even more than Molly, if that’s even possible.Overall, Beautiful and Broken was that of romantic perfection. I ate this book up in matter of hours, only stopping when  my kids made me. Perfectly executed, Beautiful and Broken is a love story you don’t want to mix. Great sexual tension, humor intermixed, a contemporary romance you’ll be unable to put down. My only wish? That somewhere out there, a man like Sawyer truly existed because he IS ultimate boyfriend material.But please, just don’t tell my hubby, okay?  :)
