This book is filled with the tropes that lure romance readers into the genre. We have a second chance romance, one that happens between a guy and his best friend’s little sister. There is drama, angst, and sweet love all throughout this story. It is full of laugh out loud moments and sweet moments sharing the depth and rightness of their rekindled romance. Broken Love is just that, a broken love story, one in which the only way to heal is to come back together and find what had been lost.
Broken Love has a fun and flirty love story nailed. We see the tale from all angles, shared in multiple POVs, something I really appreciated. Palmer and Cade are perfect for each other, if they would only let the past go and see what is right in front of them. When you start reading, you jump straight into the story and start running. At first I was a bit confused, but Jillian Dodd does a great job of sharing the past history as we go, through memories and throwback conversations. I appreciated that she presents the past in this way. It adds the depth we need when we need it, not lugging down the book with tons of backstory.
So much happens in this book! Things I was not expecting, things that made it so much better, things you will have to read the book to find out. We don’t want spoilers now, do we? This quick read gives readers a beautiful second chance story to fall in love with, one that will have us cheering on Palmer and Cade till the very end!
We clink our glasses together then down the shots. The groomsman passes me a lime wedge, but I shake my head, causing him to pull me aside.
“My name’s Jared,” he says with a cocky smirk.
“I thought this was supposed to be a no-names night?” I reply, giving him shit, even though I have no interest in him.
“It is. But for you, I’ll make an exception. You need to know what name to say when I make you scream later.”
Cade comes up from behind Jared, clamping his big hand down on Jared’s skinny shoulder.
Jared glances back at Cade. They share some kind of a look that causes Jared to immediately ditch me. He saunters over to Tory and throws his arm around her, which earns him a hint of a smile from Cade.
“So does this mean you’re not married?” Tory asks Jared.
“Nope, I’m single as a Pringle,” he replies.
I expect Cade to say something to me, but instead he turns away.
I’m not sure what just happened, but I think it was some guy-code thing.
And it pisses me off.
Tory sees the rage on my face, takes my hand, and drags me off to the bathroom.
“What’s wrong?”
“Did you see that!?” I rant, as we step inside the ladies’ room, finding a long line. “Cade cock blocked me! Not that I wanted that guy’s cock, because you already called dibs on it, but Cade didn’t know that!”
“Since you don’t have a cock,” she replies. “I think it’s called blocking the box.”
“Oh, no,” the girl in front of us says. “It’s called twat blocking.”
“I thought it was boxed,” another woman says.
“Baseball players call cock blocking stealing signs.”
A voice from inside one of the stalls yells out, “It’s called clam jamming.”
Pretty soon everyone in the bathroom is giving us their opinions.
“Twat swatting or twat stopping.”
“Beaver dammed.”
“Va-jected!”
I shake my head at Tory. “Whatever. It really shouldn’t matter what part you have. I got cock blocked because I will be having no cock tonight.”
“There’s still time,” Tory says. “You can have the groomsman. You need to get laid worse than I do, honey. It’s been far too long.”
“But why would he cock block me and then walk away?!”
As soon as the words tumble out of my mouth, Cade’s mother steps out of one of the stalls.
I put my head down, hoping she won’t notice me and, thankfully, she squeezes past us without saying a word.
“Holy buckets,” Tory says when the door closes behind her. “Wasn’t that his mother?”
“Uh, yeah. You can kill me now.”
