Shattered Kindle Edition

by Pamela Sparkman (Author), Deanna Gohn (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 38 ratings
Close your eyes for a moment and picture this.
A gorgeous redhead walks into a bar.
No, wait, a wedding reception.
A gorgeous redhead walks into a wedding reception. Poised, polished and flawless - on the outside.
He's tall, dark, and handsome, exactly like a fairytale prince and he won't take no for an answer as he leads her to the dance floor.

But this will be no ordinary dance and theirs is no ordinary story. What begins as rhythmic steps on a dance floor fluidly and beautifully becomes the rhythm of two hearts meant to beat as one.

Until the music stops.

In a moment everything she's put behind her comes crashing down, threatening to destroy what his love has helped repair and rebuild.
Life throws punches and it hits hard when you least expect it.
What they learn is that sometimes, in order to be truly whole, you have to first be shattered to your very core.

    There have been so many wonderful reviews for this book already, so I’m sure there isn’t all that much I can say that hasn’t already been said, but I’m going to do my best to try.

    You get to meet, at least in a smaller role, the character of Joe Carlisle in the first book Stolen Breaths. I will admit that while he did stand out to me at that point as a strong secondary character, I didn’t connect to him as much as I did with Cooper and when you think about it, that’s kind of the point. But he did leave a mark on my heart, a comedic and light hearted one and walking into this book, I expected more of the same and was given so much more.

    I could sit here and tell you that Joe is hot and you just NEED to read for yourself to see it, but I don’t see Joe as hot. I just don’t. He’s beautiful, he’s enigmatic, and he’s a soul you just need to surround yourself with, but not hot. Hot is too basic a word. Joe Carlisle is everything you want in a book boyfriend, in a real boyfriend and quite frankly, exactly what I want in a future husband.

    Funny, soft hearted, tough when he needs to be, a man with one of the best souls on the planet. He is all of these and more and when you read his story, you’ll see what I mean. He will make you feel, after you’ve managed to start breathing after he makes you laugh so hard you forget how.

    Enter Maggie. A very unique person needs to be the female counterpart to Joe. Same as Cooper and Lily were, it needed to happen here and happen it did. Maggie is tough as nails, but also has a softer side that cannot be compared to any other before her. She’s the perfect depiction of heroine in my estimation and played perfectly off the kind of person Joe is.

    Their love story is not an easy road, but it’s a definite road worth taking and every trial they went through and faced together only made the love they feel for one another that much stronger. It was one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read and worth every laugh and tear shed.

    Pamela Sparkman as I’ve said before writes magical romance unlike anyone before her and I know that at the end of the day, when I need that special something that not a lot of romances offer today, I only have to turn to her and I’ve gotten it in spades. Her books are love stories for the ages and ones that are so beautifully depicted that they make you complete and make you long for more at the same time. The best part about this book and the journey the characters take though is that it wasn’t done alone. Deanna, this is where I also have to bow to you. Thank you for working with Pamela and giving us the story Joe and Maggie deserved. You are a gem. Truly.

    Have I said anything of substance that will make people want to go and pick up the book? I have no idea, but I can only hope that I have. I want this book to touch the world the same way that is has touched me, heart and soul and the way that it will for years to come.

    Take a chance on the man I refer to as my Joe. I can promise you a beautiful love story that will move you and make you feel a myriad of emotions. As I’ve said before, it will shatter you just as the title says, but by the end will put you together again and make you even more complete then you were before. Joe and Maggie wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Holy crap! And the award for the author who writes the most swoonworthy male lead goes to... Pamela Sparkman. Man, does she know how to write heroes. Here's a high-five ;) I've only read two books by this author (including this one), but I can already tell that she'll be my go-to for comfort reads. Her novels really focus on the romance and I sometimes I need a simple, drama-free read where the MCs are faithful and not constantly running from each other. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with those types of books, I enjoy those, too. But sometimes you want a honest to goodness, simple romance. And Pamela Sparkman delivers.

    I'm the first to admit that I'm not a huge fan of insta-love. I don't hate it, but I really have to be in the right mood to enjoy it. And enjoy it, I did :D Joe and Maggie were just what I needed. I loved Joe's goofball nature and how he treated Maggie. He was so attentive and caring. You never doubt his love.

    "She was Maggie, which meant she was everything."

    He really got Maggie to open up, and together they were perfect <3 There were some bumps, but even in their darkest times they're still adults about the situations. They open up to one another and don't run away for pointless reasons or "for the sake of the other person/the other person deserves better." No, they don't do any of that. They work for it, they want it.

    "I want our happy ending, Joe. I want the fairytale."

    The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt it dragged in certain areas (but this could totally be my extreme ADD lately). But, as I said in my other review for the predecessor novel, if you enjoy sweet and swoon-worthy insta-love romances, this book (and author) are must-reads! :)

    OH, and can we talk about the ending?! I loved the build up to Hayden's story. I'm already swooning for him with one sneak peek...

    "If I had it my way, she would get sick of looking at me because I’d be around her all the time."

    And that Miss Sophie...

    "Heads up. I saved the best for last."

    A PERFECT ending <3

    This was a great love story which kept my interest. I liked the character Maggie even with all her flaws, and I think this passage defines the book and character Maggie: I am Maggie Malone. Poised, confident, sassy. Maybe if I kept repeating those words in my head I would believe them again. All I was supposed to do was go to Nashville to attend my best friend’s wedding, meet her fiancé, give him a hard time because that’s what I do, and fly back home. It was supposed to be a simple trip…a time-out for me…a chance to break away from work and live a little – something I used to kid Lily about. That was so far from what actually happened.

    Writing like that is what keeps a reader interested and engaged. Author Pamela Sparkman is pitch perfect in dialogue and while I was reading I forgot I was reading – instead it was like I was listening to two people actually talk – it was that good, and a sign of a talented writer.

    Well done, and I look forward to more books by Ms. Sparkman!

    3 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Observations from reading 2 Pamela Sparkman books in a row:
    I really enjoy Pamela's writing style. I like how she incorporates a playlist throughout her stories; music always helps and adds that little bit extra. I really love her characters, seeing their growth and development and the interactions they have with one another. Her books have a nice change to them that I find desirable when I read.

    Book review:
    As with the previous book this one too was an enjoyable read but it still didn't have that wow factor. I found myself really enjoying it and engaged in some scenes and reading as quickly as possible through others. Sadly the end was just too predictable and I lost all interest.
