Peyton is broken, or so she assumes, she lives alone in the house she grew up in with her grandparents. Her parents died when she was very young and all the family she has left now is her grams. She lives a very mundane life, getting up every morning to run, shower, put on her baggy clothes and head to the bakery she owns. Such a beautiful woman on the inside, and outside as well, she hides behind her baggy clothes because, even after all the years of therapy, she still believes that she was to blame for what happen to her that horrible night in college. She doesn’t date, in fact she pushes men away. She spends most of her time at her bakery or with Quinn, her best friend, when she can pull her away from her boyfriend Bret. Through Quinn’s boyfriend is how Peyton meets Reed. Reed, he’s quite the charmer, can get any woman he wants and he knows it. He jumps from bed to bed, girl to girl, not wanting a relationship with anyone. When Reed meets Peyton for the first time he’s taken aback, not sure what to think of this beautiful girl with the most beautiful baby blue eyes. He instantly wants her and she also finds him interesting and attractive. But it’s not that easy for Reed, Peyton isn’t some prize he can win and toss away when he’s done, she has more self-worth for herself than to let this man use her. She’s, of course, heard some of the stories about is sleeping habits and instantly says no to a date when asked. But there is something about her that Reed just can’t let go of, she’s not like any other woman he’s met, she different. He’s not giving up, and after time he wears her down enough that she agrees to a date. Who wouldn’t agree to a date after all of the ways he shown her she was special to him. She’s not just a buffet to him, she’s a 5 star meal. For someone who was a player, which he was, he sure did do a complete 360. He’s a changed man, but will both of their pasts ruin what they have gotten to know and love about each other? They’re both keeping something away from the other, not wanting the other to know for the same reasons.This book was amazing, I loved every minute of it. It was a long wait for him to get him to trust her, but when he did it really got good. Don’t get me wrong, I said I loved every minute of it, it’s just that it gets better and better. I read this in one night, I couldn’t sleep until I finished it. It was well worth the massive book hangover and the two hours of sleep I got. I recommend this book to anyone who loves to read a very beautiful, very well written story. I give Perfectly Broken 5 stars.
