Restored (Shattered #2) by Heather D’AgostinoI received a complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review.*Do not read if you haven’t read the first book in the series*When we last left Nick and Leah, Leah was heartbroken that Nick had made a major life decision without discussing it with her.  Leah was upset and Nick made a poor decision as a result of Leah’s anger, a decision that was impossible for Leah to forget and Nick left town without Leah.  Months went by and neither Leah nor Nick had any contact, but they were never far from each other’s minds.  In a trip of fate Leah travels to Nick’s new city and runs into him.  Will they be able to save what was lost?I am so thrilled to be able to continue this series.  There are several book series that I have really connected with, and several I wish I could forget… this series is a sweet story that I really enjoy.  Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes you are able to forget and sometimes you aren’t.  I really found myself able to connect with these characters, and I was truly pulling for them to survive this crack in their relationship.  I love the bond that these two share, it’s pretty rare that high school sweethearts are able to survive the test of time, and maybe with the different experiences these two have battled through, that is the reason they have been able to make it thus far.Heather tells a great story, you are able to connect with these characters and truly empathize with them.  It’s sometimes rare that you find a book that you are content with and happy to read, and I am so thrilled to be able to recommend this series to others.  My only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 was that around 75% I found the book to be a bit predictable.  I didn’t feel ultimate shock, but I could see some of the events coming.  Don’t let this deter you, this is a great romance, with heat, and passion, and shouldn’t be missed.Thank you to Heather D’Agostino for the opportunity to read and review another of her books.  I can’t wait to continue this story in book 3: Renewed!
