You know you’ve found an amazing story when your heart threatens to burst out of your chest with emotions. Unbreakable by Abby Reynolds is NOT an insta-love tale, it is a slowly simmering love story that tells how love is earned through loyalty, caring, trust and unselfish acts. Told with heart and a true feel for connecting with her audience, Abby Reynolds will bring you to tears one moment and have you smiling with relief the next.Keira’s past has shredded every ounce of self-worth she has ever owned as bad choices, bad relationships and bad timing stripped away all she held dear in her life. The only trusted friend she lets into her haunted world is her cousin Scotty, who has lived through her pain and her guilt. He is her protector, but is it time for Keira to find someone else for the job? Enter Liam, all fierce and hulking good looks, a man who has his own demons hidden away, and never has a shortage of females willing to warm his bed.Terrified of the large and muscular man, Keira at first runs from him in fear, but through patience, gentleness and small acts of kindness, Liam worms his way into Keira’s heart. The angry brutal side of Liam is losing ground to the man who is in love with someone more damaged then he is. Both fear revealing their secrets, both hold back truths that must be told, but for Liam, his final truth may send Keira running, destroying what he so desperately wants with her.Looking for the perfect book boyfriend, the kind that will make you sigh out loud, the imperfect man that would do anything for you? I think Abby Reynolds may have created him in Liam. Keira is so damaged, so wrapped in her past, yet there IS a side of her that is alive, fun and a little competitive, which makes her another completely loveable character. Add three cheers for Scotty and his quirky way of playing cupid and one can truly see how hard Ms. Reynolds works to breathe life into her characters. Her style is emotional, from the heart and never feels rushed as she allows her characters to drive this story to completion in style. Not too fast, not too slow, this tale blossoms one petal at a time into a vibrant thing of beauty through her words. Sit back and savor each scene as it unfolds.
