About Beyond Broken:He was searching for hope in a world that offered him everything.She had the answer... but had lost her heartHow far is too far for love when you find yourself "Beyond Broken"Excerpt:The pull was magnetic and I was powerless to stop it. As much as I wanted to distance myself, keep my heart safe, it was useless. The last shreds of my self-control were beginning to snap, one by one, increasing the tension that already existed, that was my existence. Everything about him warned heartbreak, yet my own traitorous heart continued to beat his name, regardless of the danger, of the risk involved in loving him. I was torn between what was right, what I knew to be true, and what I wanted.It would have been so much easier if he were indifferent; if his silver grey eyes didn't stare through me and sear me with his gaze. I could pretend that my own torrent of emotions didn't exist, but he provoked them, brought them out into the light. All at once my cover was blown and there was nothing left to do but fall, knowing full well I might never be caught.My Review:When I started reading Beyond Broken I started to realize that it was not the type of book I usually read. I tend to read things a bit more spice to it. Oh hell what am I saying? I LOVE reading erotic romance. So you can imagine my surprise when I realized that this was not that type of book. I really could not tell from the description and excerpt that Beyond Broken was more religious then erotica. However the more I read the more I found myself really enjoying this book.We first meet Sophia as she is going for an interview at a drug treatment facility. Having grown up in the Philippines, Sophia was used to seeing poverty and drug use. She had seen many terrible things in her life. From babies that were born addicted and going through withdrawal because of their mother's drug use during pregnancy, to half starved infants. She wanted to devote her life to help others, especially drug addicts. She wanted to help people survive their addictions. Sophia gets the internship and soon meets Greyson."What's your kryptonite Superwomen"? - Greyson"You" - SophiaGreyson was at the treatment facility due to his addiction to cocaine. He is the billionaire CEO of the company he took over after his fathers death. Using cocaine to get through his day to day hectic schedule."I was wrong. Greyson wasn't dangerous, he was deadly - lethal" - SophiaWhen these two meet they have an instant connection to each other. Drawn to each other for an unknown reason. I don't want to give too much away, the story is intense at times. I felt many emotions reading this book. I felt sorrow for Greyson, and admiration for Sophia. I was rooting for them to find their way to each other."No, wait I'd say I'm sorry, but, Sophia... I'm not. Right now - right now might be broken. I might not be what you deserve. I know I'm not what you deserve. But just... just give me a chance to be that man. I want to be that man. I need to be that man, because finding you... Because finding you was like breathing for the first time. Don't run away. Don't steal my breath, Sophia. I've only just learned how much I need it, how much I need you." - GreysonI give it 3 1/2 stars. A sweet read with a little angst thrown in.
