The Broken One by Ruth Cardello (Corisi Billionaires #1)



💙💙💙💙💙

The Broken One lives up to the title! This story will shatter your heart, then beautifully mend it. It's been a while since I've read a good, heart-warming story that punched me right in the chest and made me cry - but this one succeeded.

Heather Ellis didn't plan on becoming a mom, but tragic events lead to her adopting Ava and never looking back. The love and affection she feels for her is moving, especially the force of protectiveness whenever someone questions her parenting skills or priorities.

Sebastian Romano has suffered a tremendous loss, losing both his wife and their unborn child. The last thing he wants is to become involved in that world again, let alone put his heart on the line only to have it broken.

The author did such a fantastic job of making you feel Sebastian's pain, to the point where you wish you could reach through the book to just comfort him.

Ava is adorable in this story, and quite possibly the scene stealer every time she appears. Her love for the stuffed animals will melt your heart just as if they were real pets.

The only confusing part of the story to me, was the beginning and end...while I'm intrigued by Judy's story and where it might lead, I didn't understand how it tied into the main storyline.

Have the tissues ready and dive in to this wonderful tale of love and loss. It's one of my favorite reads this fall and I can't wait to see what else happens in this series. Such amazing characters, you'll want to read this one again and again.

Summary:
Single mom Heather Ellis would do anything for her adopted daughter, Ava. Even post an online reward for anyone who found the girl's lost stuffed animal. Who'd have guessed it'd be returned by a drop-dead-sexy man with such sadness in his eyes that she had to reach out to him? To Ava, he's a hero. To Heather, he's a fantasy that puts at risk the happy life she's made for herself.

It's been five years since billionaire developer Sebastian Romano lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident. Now he's all business. No room for emotion. Until he stumbles across that damn stuffed wolf and the beautiful single mother looking for it. Is he ready to give love a second chance?

But there's more to Sebastian, his family, and his past than Heather knows. More than even Sebastian knows. Will the life they're building together be challenged when the truth is finally revealed?
