Perfectly Broken

"I loved every broken piece of Lili, with every broken piece of me. Maybe that's what it took when you were damaged. Maybe, together, we were perfectly broken."

I will start my review with this beautiful quote from the book and i will say that there are so many great books out there that we don't know about them, but they totally worth our time...

This book was one of them...

I really liked the story and the way that it was written, but i would be honest to you...
That book frustrated me so much in the most part...

I wanna kick some asses!!! I wanna shake up the two main characters!!! I wanna yell to them that they have to wake up and see what was in front of them!!!

They almost drove me crazy with their refusal and their stubborness... and i accuse more... Lili.
But i have to explain you some things first...

Zane and Lili was best friends for the last two years... They were having similar characters. They were broken from their pasts, they didn't believe in love and they liked casual sex... Not with each other. But sometimes they use each other as a life-jacket to avoided some unwelcome situations...

And at the beginning of this book, we were having an unwelcome situation... Zane's ex-wife. So Lili play her role to made her stay away from Zane... but the kiss that they shared something rocked inside of them...

I can not lie to you, but in the most part of the book i was confused.

Did Lili was in love with Zane??? Did Zane was in love with Lili??? Many times i was so sure for the aboves, but other times i was uncertain. They were friends but the lines were blurred... They hooked up with others, but they got mad with each other...

Hmmm.... Yeah, i think i was sure for one thing... They were in love but they didn't want to acknowledge and admit it... For several, known and unknown reasons...

Phew!!! But except with that mess the story was very good. It had many twists and much story hidden behind all this strange situation...

Zane was a lovely man that was having his own problems... An ex-wife who cheated on him, a four-years old son who adored but who wasn't exactly his. His ex was all the time in the way and made the situations more complicated than already were. He was a little bit lost...

Lili was fiercy and she seemed strong enough. But she was running from her past which its still remained a mystery... She wasn't trust easily anyone, except Zane, Trish and Kash. She was afraid of love... and she was stubborn as hell.

The thing is that those two were tiptowing around each another and when i was about to say that now comes the time that they realize their true feelings, they were both making huge mistakes and fucked everything up. The misunderstandings were unsufferable...

They irritated me both of them so much... Zane because he couldn't find the right words to apologize properly, and Lili because she didn't let him to talk. All the time, she was made her own conclusions and she shut everyone out...

Thank God that in this book was Trish and Kash. They were a couple and they knew what they wanted and of course they knew from the beginning that thing that Zane and Lili struggle to understand... That they were in love!!!

I also liked Zane's son. He was adorable when his bitchy mother doesn't poisoning him against his father...

So, the conclusion is that i enjoy that book even though that the main characters frustrated me a little bit... But i really like the storyline and that fuckin' overturn with Jordan??? I knew that something was wrong with him, but i didn't realize the depths in his twisted mind...

It was a good book. Period.
And now, i have to find out what was the deal with Lili's past....

AMAZING! That's the only word that covers this book!

Lili & Zane have been friends and roommates for some time now. They have a bond that surpasses that of most relationships, but are both too afraid and stuck in their pasts to fully commit to each other. Lili is a tiny woman that is so accustomed to fighting for herself, that she doesn't always recognise when she should take help. Zane is a sweetheart, but too confused about his past.

This book is so unlike other books that I've read before. The cliffhanger is so tastefully done - I'm hoping that I can afford to buy Book 2 at the soonest opportunity. I have to find out what happens next - it's that serious!!!!

Definitely a must-read/buy!

P.S. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my review.

I was pleasantly surprised while reading this book. It was the first time I had read this particular author and I can tell you with certainty that I will be reading more of her work. There are some people that get outraged when an author releases a trilogy or a novel in parts, but I am not one of them. The author had a knack for making the reader feel like they were there with the characters in the story. Let me tell you though, this book was HOT. I loved the chemistry between the hero/heroine, and I also fell in LOVE with the supporting characters. So really, I hit the jackpot when I found out this was a trilogy because I can't wait to continue the journey with Lilli and her hunk of a man.
