On a day like any other, Allyn
Sommers went off to work, not knowing that her life was about to be irrevocably
and horrifically altered.
Three years later, Allyn is still
a prisoner in her own home held captive by harrowing fear. Broken and damaged,
Allyn seeks help from someone that fate brought her.
Dr. Dominic Shriver is a
psychiatrist who’s drawn to difficult cases. He must push past his own personal
battles to help Allyn fight her monsters and nightmares.
Is Dr. Shriver the answer to her
healing?
Can Allyn overcome the broken?
A Life Less Broken
is an extremely hard book emotionally to read.
This is not a book to read if you have any type of rape trigger, please
if this is a topic that you know that you don’t like to read about then skip
this one. Just please take what I just
wrote to heart.
God, what do I even say about this book? From the start you know how horribly that
Allyn suffered at the hands of her attackers.
I had tears in my eyes when I read what happened to her and then when
you see how she hasn’t been able to cope just makes it all so much harder. I had to step away from this book multiple
times because of what I was reading.
When she meets Dominic, her new doctor you start to see that
maybe, just maybe she can begin to live again. Slowly ever so slowly Allyn
begins to battle the fears that have caused her life to just be at a standstill
since her attack. Feelings between the
two begin to move past doctor/patient and that is when I started to not like
the book as much. It’s not because of
their relationship but because it went from doctor treating patient to bam
something else without a second thought to what would be at risk for him.
Then all of a sudden thing just go from bad to worse for
Allyn, I won’t say what it is because I don’t want to give anything away but
for me, that would have been my oh hell no breaking point. It almost became over the top with the drama
surrounding the truth.
I liked A Life Less
Broken but I can’t say that I loved it.
I love dark reads, rape in a book is not an issue for me, but this one
just didn’t sit right with me for some reason.
I have had 50/50 luck with this author so maybe it is a case of we just
don’t mesh well together or maybe it was the book itself but if you take
anything from this review, please keep the warning I posted at the beginning of
my review in mind if you do give it a chance.
This is one read that will stay with me for a while and not in a good
way but one that will make me wish that nothing like this ever happens to any
woman, ever.

There's something about the written word that's pure magic.
Possibly it's the fact that there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and they can create something so beautiful or so empowering that they're able to change our lives.
How important is it that we break suit and stretch our minds?
I like to think of myself as 'unique'. My stories aren't for everyone, and sometimes I may push what you believe to be 'normal'.
Normal is subjective.
I prefer to be known as a person who's never been 'bound by custom' but is 'unique by choice'.
Until next time
