Ever since that horrific night, I’d shut men completely out of my life.
I’d gone from the spunky, fun, Alex DeMarco to a broken woman terrified of
intimacy. Easing me back into dating, my best friend sets me up with kickboxing
lessons from my charming and perfectly sculpted instructor—Carter
Maxwell.
Carter’s goal is to break through my emotional barrier and mold my
heart just like he molds my body, but trusting men is a battle I’m not ready
for. What’s worse is my ex fiancé, Todd Livingston—the man who tore my heart in
two—wants me back, and as much as I’d like to deny it, the feelings are still
there.
Both men want what I can’t give—my body and my love—and neither are
willing to give up the fight. But only one of them can unbreak this heart of
mine.

Unbreak This Heart is an emotional journey from the start to the ending. A standalone that I really enjoyed reading.
Alex has suffered so much in her young life. So much loss and a devastating event has sent Alex spinning. A once perfect life has now turned into daily survival.
Meeting Carter at her self-defense class, Alex was awestruck on how gorgeous this man was. Carter gave her feelings that she hadn’t felt in over a year. Working together in class, was the first time she let any man touch her since that horrible day. Carter just had the friendly attitude and Alex devoured it up!
While things are going good for Alex and Carter, who shows up in the picture? The evil ex-fiancé who walked out on Alex because he couldn’t deal with what she was going through.
Now seeing Alex moving ahead in life, having a good job, living in a new apartment, and now becoming more than friends with Carter, Todd steps in to take back what was his.
Having someone that understands you and is willing to accept to take time with you is everything that Alex wants, and she gets that with Carter. But the history and love that she had with Todd is there.
Until the day that Carter and Todd meet and everything changes!

It’s so sad and heartwrenching how many women go through this in real life. The after effects on their psyche so damaging, that they lose their ability to function normally.
Safe. I’m never safe. That monster took that security blanket from me and I’ve been fighting ever since to get it back.
What they have to learn to live with are nightmares, panic attacks, anxiety and constant need to look over their shoulder. Makes me wanna murder someone !!!!
In steps Carter Maxwell who not only provides her a safe space in his arms, right on his chest, he also teaches her self defence and life saving techniques. She starts to slowly ease back into the world of normalcy……….
Carter accepts my flaws and doesn’t punish me for them. With him, I feel free to be me, free to be scared, happy, or sad. He’s the kind of man who will wipe my tears and hold me through the pain. The kind of man who will make me laugh when all I want to do is frown. He makes me stronger, not just physically, but emotionally. With his patience and love, he’s repaired the shredded pieces of my soul. I no longer feel broken—he’s made me whole.
And then there’s the dreaded TWIST !!
This is my first book by Betty. I quite like her style of writing. The story itself is very inspirational and uplifting. Betty doesn’t let hope vanish, she places it right in Alex’s hands, sending out a supportive message to all the women out there who’ve been victims of crimes at some point or other in their lives. Never let the mishaps control your life, get up and take back the reins and ride life like a warrior princess. And if need be, save your saviour too! Learn to get up from the weeping floor and learn to walk again…then be the crutch to support others.
