Review of Broken Beauty by Chloe AdamsHorrifying. Gut wrenching. Heart breaking. Tragic. A living nightmare. These are just a few of the things that went through my head as I read the first pages of this book. Mia survives a trauma that no one should ever have to endure, rape. The author doesn't pull any punches with this one and honestly, it had me in tears several times... okay FINE I ugly cried. Dang it, three times. Okay, quit badgering me. FOUR freakin' times. Are you happy now? I ugly cried FOUR times. This is where I will note that it is a novella.Mia is the daughter of a politician. She spends her life trying to blend in, desperate to stay out of the spotlight. Playing hooky from one of her daddy's many events she attends a party. One small act of rebellion changes the course of her life forever. She is brutally raped by two men after being drugged... Broken Beauty is the story of life after rape.This novella is one in a series and when you get to the end, it's really just the beginning. I look forward to reading more about Mia and finding out how she will move forward. I give this book five stars because it is well written, the character development is spot on, and the author knows how to rip the emotion right out of the reader. There is not a single lick of smut to this, so if that is what you are looking for whorelettes, look elsewhere, if you want a raw, emotional rollercoaster this is the book for you.Review by the Head Whore at Mommy's a Book Whore.[...][...]
