Beautiful Broken Love

De: Shanora Williams

Narrado por: Aure Nash, Sean Bassett

From New York Times bestselling author Shanora Williams comes an emotional story about two people still reeling from tragedy who look to each other for the strength to move forward.

It’s been months since her dreams of forever were brutally shattered. Seven long months since her husband and soulmate, Lew, died in her arms, leaving her to carry on. Alone. And Davina Klein-Roberts still isn’t sure how to move forward.

To escape her anguish, Davina throws everything into work, pushing Golden Oil Co., her self-built skin care line, to become a viral success. Now she’s poised to clinch a major endorsement deal too. But it’s bittersweet without Lew by her side.

A meeting with Deke Bishop, the hot NBA star she’s courting for her brand, leaves Davina flustered. With his dimpled smile and warm handshake, Deke’s a natural pitchman. And he’s clearly interested—not only in her lotions.

Davina soon discovers that Deke’s more than just another player and carries his own pain. But as her feelings for him grow, so does her guilt. Will the pain of a future already lost keep her from embracing hope for a new one?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Williams shows herself to be deft at narrating…with fully fleshed-out characters whose anxieties and actions feel true to life. She alternates teary moments, which might evoke Emily Henry, with sizzling sex scenes and charming dates. A sports romance that captures the highs and lows of the game of love.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“An impressively well written, authentically original, emotional engaging read from cover to cover…Author Shanora Williams once again demonstrates her extraordinary talents as a storyteller.”—Midwest Book Review

All emotions

This story touched on so much and I love how it all came together.

I love a second chance romance!!

I love how they both provided comfort and healing for each other. I love to see a boss babe being loved on😍

A time to heal!

I’ve personally never lost a spouse, however, I have experienced grief. I’ve unfortunately lost my mother and brother and know how paralyzing it can be. I love how Davina and Deke use their personal grief and experience with grief as a tool to heal each other. I wish I could go into more detail, but I don’t want to give any spoilers. It was so good that although I have it on both Audible and Kindle I had to have it in paperback to display on my bookshelf. Just know that this is a five star read for me and I can’t wait to see what happens with Javier and Davina sister lol IYKYK. -Sasha Mason @iamsashafierce411

BEAUTIFUL STORY! 😭🥰

This book had me crying, laughing, grinning, and completely in my feelings—it was such a beautiful story, and the title couldn’t have been more perfect. It’s probably one of the best stories I’ve ever read, and I genuinely loved the ending. We all deserve a love that heals us, and this book captured that sentiment so perfectly.

Beautiful Broken Love!!!!

I love the fact that This story is about two people who has successful careers but also has been going through grief. I also love the fact Davina and Deke support each other by loving each other while both of them are going through different type of grieving. I dislike the fact that how grieving can affect on someone who's trying to move on with their lives and how can they move forward from that. This book right here is incredible it shows some serious conversations to have with your love ones and also to encourage someone that it's okay to cry when you are going through things in life. I love this book so much I will give it Six Stars!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best story I’ve heard in a while.

Some of these romances can feel like a dime a dozen. By adding real life traumas, William develops characters into vibrant realities. I FELT this; their highs and lows and all the in between. Narrators were GOLD. Five stars! Can’t wait to dig into more of Williams work

Relatable

The book I didn’t know I needed. I stumbled across this book on accident but as I finished I came to the realization that it was meant for me to read. Beautiful story! Everything about it was amazing. This book was so relatable in so many reads! Best book I’ve read this year! Zeke & Davina were meant to be!!

True Love Story

I know of a situation like this that ended happily ever after as it should have - when you have a sickly spouse - it’s important that you are there for them all the way through- but it’s also important to continue to LIVE LIFE even afterwards. Thank you for show casing how it could and should be. I would never want my husband to die because I died and he’s still healthy and thriving. I get heartbreak death which is a different story from this. To God be the Glory!

Beautifully done

This book is so well written. It captures the complexities of moving forward and attempting to create a new life in the midst of grief and loss. The characters are beautiful and so well developed. Deek was so perfect for Davina, in every way. His patience. His support. His love. Absolutely swoonworthy. Although she required more time, Davina was also able to support Deek with his own grief and forgiveness journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. ♥️📚

My only gripe is the narration. The female narrator was exceptional and captured Davina well. My disappointment is with the male narrator. His cadence was off, where he took breaths or paused in weird places within the text. In my opinion, the female did a better job of reading Deek's parts. This is my only disappointment. However, the narration did NOT take away from the greatness of the book. I would still highly recommend it.

Narration bought this story to life!

What a beautiful story, i loved everything about it and i know i’ll be able to read/listen to it over and over!!
