BLURB ➞
I knew he would ruin me from the moment we met. Everything about the man screamed confidence. Sensuality. Intelligence. Worldliness. But it was how he saved me that ruined me most.
Through him, I learned to end my path of self-destruction. I no longer needed to numb the pain with mindless one-night-stands and drunken blackouts. He made me feel worthy. Treasured. Optimistic about my future.
Here I stand four years later, in a coffee shop a world away, still broken…but beautifully so. My scars no longer hold me back. Instead, they give me strength and enrich my appreciation for the good things in life. I have hopes and dreams…faith that anything is possible. I am no longer the lost little girl fighting for survival. I have direction. I have courage. I am not without possibility.
I’ll always have Gavin to thank for that—Mr. Cooper, I remind myself. That’s who he is to me now: just a former teacher. I know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry. I was eighteen when we first met. Legally, we did nothing wrong. Morally? Well, I guess that depends on how flexible your morals are
My name is Kat and this is my story.
On the surface, you’d see a tawdry affair between a teacher and his student. In reality, Gavin and I are like two halves of a whole.
REVIEW ➞
Forbidden, emotional, beautiful. Beautifully Broken hooked me from the start and took me through a journey of emotions from the first page.
Kat has not had an easy life, but despite everything around her she is still working hard at making a better life for herself. She’s experienced more than most people ever will and I love her determination, however, she is a broken woman who is just seeking love and someone to be on her side. Gavin comes from a rough background, but unlike Kat, he had a different upbringing, but his past has always stuck with him.
The moment Kat and Gavin met there was a connection. He pushed her beyond her normal limits and comfort zone and she craved it. Their chemistry was undeniable and even when they know they shouldn’t continue anything they couldn’t stay away. They were drawn for each other. I loved how they were there for each other, I loved that they could support each other, even if it may have broken their hearts in the process. Their story took me on an emotional rollercoaster and there were parts the just completely broke my heart and parts that were swoony.
If you’re looking for a forbidden student/teacher romance that will bring out so many emotions this is one to read.
