3.5 - 4 Stars in my Sky!In Perfectly Broken lead character, Peyton is struggling to move on from some pretty traumatic issues and recover from the horrible things that life has thrown at her. Reed is a bored, rich, architect from a prominent family and has his own share of troubling secrets. When Reed enters Peyton's pie shop (yes, she bakes) he finds himself explicably drawn to her in a way he's never been before.Peyton is sweet and vulnerable, but she's also sassy and very much a survivor. I loved how she didn't give in to Reed like so many women had in the past. She's extremely selfless and spends her time caring for others. I really wanted her to do something for herself and to give Reed a chance.Reed is your typical rich playboy, well he is on paper. His baggage is of a very different type to Peyton's and a lot of their problems could have been prevented by him being more honest with her from the start. BUT I could understand his reasoning and why he was so hesitant; his father is pretty horrible!Both characters had some awesome friends (who are dating). Quinn was hilarious and I enjoyed watching her put the boys in their place. Bret was also a great source of comic relief - he had some brilliant one-liners!I liked Peyton and Reed's story; the title is very apt! I would have liked to see some of the chapter's developed a bit more, because certain events seemed to happen rather quickly. I'm a big fan of 'comeuppance' and would liked to see certain characters face up to their actions more. But in general I enjoyed Perfectly Broken and was really hoping these troubled character's could rise above everything and get their HEA!I received a review copy.
