Review: Emma & Braden
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 14, 2014
A very vivid telling of assault and pain.  And the incredible effort that’s necessary to trust and heal.This story broke my heart.  Emma is a 29 yo woman- lives in a small town and had found the love of her life, Braden. But she pushes him away once she realizes that her father will never let her be.  And his complete disregard for Emma puts her in danger again and again.  As well as draining her bank account.For Emma the hits keep on coming, literally.  Her fear and pain are real as is her confusion about where her life is headed.Braden–once he gets his head out of his a$$ he’s good.  Better than good.  When he has doubts or starts to freak out he actually talks about it.  With his dad and brothers.  With Emma….when she will let him! Once he knows the truth he refuses to give up.  He is determined to be the person that Emma needs.  Because she is the one he needs.Holly and Olivia-I want them as friends!Inconsistencies in the story- Braden’s house turns into an apartment.  Timeline could also be tightened up and clearer- felt it jumped around.Several key scenes that show us how much Emma and Braden mean to each other.Kyoto scene- TEARS!Every time he brings her a meal.She turns to him even when she tries to push him away.The ending!!!!Looking forward to more from Jen Khan.
