Little Broken Things by Nicole Baart

5 Stars

I can’t say how long that it has been since I have binged read.  I sat in my favorite reading chair riveted for the majority of the day and loved this book!  I now have a new favorite author to add to my collection and can’t wait to read another of Ms. Baart’s books.  I was not sure what to expect, but Little Broken Things is one of the best books that I have read this year!

I was drawn to this book not by the preface but by the cover.  I am a cover hog – If I see an interesting cover, I want the book.  This has not always worked in my favor but this time it sure has!  All of the characters had their quirks, but I loved every one of them, especially Everlee aka Lucy.  The plot was unique and kept me riveted.  There was not one part of the storyline that I did not like.  I love a good suspense coupled with romance.  I was able to determine what the outcome would be, including the role of Jack Sr.  That did not deter me from loving the book although I did not want it to end.  Ms. Baart wrapped up all of the characters and the storyline to perfection.  In my humble opinion, although this is clearly a stand-alone, a series could easily spin from these characters.  How awesome would it be to see a happily ever after for all parties?!

Thank you Ms. Baart for such a wonderful and inspiring read!
