“Darkness swept through my vision as my short lived life passed before my eyes. His face was the last thing I saw before I succumbed to my destiny. It’s funny how life can change its direction in the blink of an eye. What had once brought me strength has now made me weak and it was no one’s fault but my own. I did this and unfortunately he would now be the one to suffer for it. I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces all over again and the feeling made me want to die.”

At eighteen years old Bennett had finally realized what her feelings for Gray meant. Through all the loss and love that they had been through with each other nothing was going to tear them apart, except maybe time. She was willing to fight for her new found love of this boy she had always known. But forces beyond their control were willing to do whatever it took to do just that.

With Gray heading off to the police academy and her headed to college things were bound to change. Time apart, temptation, lies and loss would test the strength of the relationship they thought would outlast anything.

Five years later Bennett and Gray will be faced with a reality neither one of them ever thought possible. It’s up to Gray to save Bennett from a force so strong it will test his strength, love and undying devotion he swore to her all those years ago.
They both learn that life isn’t always fair and the things you desire most in life can come at a costly price.

I am not going to write a summary of this awesome book, because I am terrible at writing them without giving too much away, and I think the one in the description is better than one I can come up with.
This book had such a strong emotional pull as I was reading it. The two main characters, Gray and Bennett, were childhood best friends, who became more and the book takes you through their story of trying to live with each other, and without each other. I spent so much of this book, cheering on their love and crying at their losses. I was on the edge of my seat, all the way to the end of the book, praying they would get their happy ending.
I know this review doesn't do it justice, an doesn't fully explain my love for this book. So good. I read this book in one day, and I tried to read it all in one sitting, because there just wasn't a good time for stopping. Every chapter left me with a desire to go right into the next. I Can't wait for some more great stories from Amanda Bennett.

I actually found an excerpt for this book in the back of a Jennifer Foor book I finished reading. I took a chance and bought it hoping it wasn't another YA bubble gum romance book. I was greatlty surprised. I loved the heartfelt angst that goes on between Gray and Bennett. Sometimes you think you need to hide things from the other person to keep their happiness and lose yours in return to find out you were wrong. Very sad how Bennett felt she should be punished for what she did. Very real wakeup call to domestic violence.

The ending was a cliff hanger. By the description of the book, it leads you to believe that Bennett dies at the age of 22, but the ending of the book leads you to believe otherwise. Can't wait for book number two.

"Darkness swept through my vision as my short lived life passed before my eyes. His face was the last thing I saw before I succumbed to my destiny. It's funny how life can change its direction in the blink of an eye. What had once brought me strength has now made me weak and it was no one's fault but my own. I did this and unfortunately he would now be the one to suffer for it. I could feel my heart breaking into a million pieces all over again and the feeling made me want to die."

Best friends Gray and Bennett finally realized their feelings for each other were real and would fight anything for their love. Time and situations have pushed them apart and sent them in different directions. Now 5 years later their lives cross paths once again and it's up to Gray to save Bennett from her life. Can Bennett give her heart to Gray again after all this time and can Gray save this beautifully broken girl and show her the love he still holds for her in his heart.

This was my first book I have read of Amanda Bennett's and it was truly beautiful. I fell in love with Bennett and Gray and their story from the beginning, I was routing for them to have their happily ever after that they so desperately deserved. When things fell apart and Gray left Bennett my heart broke for her. She is such a strong character; she dusted herself off and moved forward with her life. New romances came into the picture and she thought she was finally going to get her happily ever after but the man who promised to love her was breaking her heart and spirit 1 piece at a time.

I was very happy to see Gray come back into Bennett live like a knight and shining armor and try to rescue his beautifully broken girl from her life and put her back together again. He is strong and determined and will stop at nothing until Bennett his whole again. He would gladly give his own life to know that his true love, Bennett, is safe and happy and he will stop at nothing until he mends her heart.

Amanda Bennett wrote a beautiful love story that spanned the course of over 5 years - once young loves they quickly grew up and life got in the way of their love and torn them apart. I loved how she portrayed their feelings for one another even when they were apart. It was truly their destiny to be together in the end. Things that happened to Bennett were a little hard for me to read but he just proved to show how strong of a young woman she was and she was going to go down with a fight and I admire her for that. I can't wait to finish their journey in Breaking Beautiful (Broken Series #2)

Bennett & Gray then add Raylon - OH MY! I loved this story and I can't wait to start the 2nd book and see where they all end up.

Bennett and Gray have had a lifetime of heart break. Just when they think they can take their relationship to the next level bad decisions takes their heartbreak to a whole new level and their relationship goes down in flames. This book caused many tears :(

Along comes Raylon and he seems great but looks are deceiving. Things in Bennett's life go from bad to worse. Just when you finally think you (or Bennett) can't handle anymore Gray comes back into her life. YAY!

This is such and emotional read but it was sooo good. They were young and made mistakes but they truly loved each other. That kind of love is a rare thing. I can't wait to see what happens next!

This was one of the most amazing books I have ever read. The characters were relatable and easy to fall in love with and hate. Bennett's and Gray's relationship was intense and vital from the beginning. Amanda made their relationship real and something anyone who has ever loved hard can relate to. This is a must read and I can't wait for book two. Thank you Amanda Bennett for writing such a beautiful story that I could not put down.

I agree with some of the other reviews. This book seemed to jump from one random catastrophe to another. There were many unbelievable items with very little development of the characters. Not worth moving on to the next book even if it were free.

Ok so I read the first 3 chapters to see if I would like the book. And I did so I bought it on my Kindle. However I was pretty disappointed. The book jumps from one moment to years later with no in between. At times I didn't know if I was reading the past or the present. I couldn't get into any of the characters either. There was no suspense. And everyone always showed up when either needed or "unexpected". It had the potential to be a very good book, but it lacked so much. There's a part 2 and Id be perfectly fine without reading it.

The story is pretty chaotic

The conversations in this book seem so wooden.. characters over react often over nothing...
And yet over serious things they get over it in 1 conversation.
I found it pretty boring.. wasnt really invested in any characters but think Theo would be my fav if i had to pick one.
