Right from the beginning you are pulled right into the story. Grace is a strong woman that experienced true heartbreak. She goes to Bora Bora alone trying to get herself together. She meets Leo in Bora Bora. Fireworks are exploding but things don\u2019t go the way you would expect. Then back to reality. Grace is getting back on her feet after the wedding that never should have happened. Grace runs into Leo and the tension is palpable. There is always something in the background that is trying to keep them apart, but the attraction is incredible. As the story continues you feel like you are going to continue on with a predictable happily ever after. But then you are hit unexpectedly with a twist. When this happened it clenched my heart. The raw emotion that you take from these characters is moving. Then I started questioning whether the outcome of this story was going to be what I wanted. It was anything but predictable and is an absolute must read. The spin is perfectly flawed. It\u2019s exactly what you need for an incredible ending.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2l46Uan\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cascade.madmimi.com\/promotion_images\/1451\/8315\/original\/Amazon_logo.jpg?resize=124%2C36&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Amazon logo\" width=\"124\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sable.madmimi.com\/c\/12866?id=106481.800.1.6214e039e819830b9182a715baa0d823\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cascade.madmimi.com\/promotion_images\/0829\/9866\/original\/barnes_noble_logo.jpg?resize=189%2C36&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"barnes noble logo\" width=\"189\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/broken-wide-open-susan-griscom\/1125334009?ean=2940157463410\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cascade.madmimi.com\/promotion_images\/0829\/9867\/original\/ITunes.png?resize=91%2C36&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ITunes\" width=\"91\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/broken-wide-open\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cascade.madmimi.com\/promotion_images\/1538\/5095\/original\/LogoKobo.gif?resize=66%2C36&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LogoKobo\" width=\"66\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cascade.madmimi.com\/theme_logos\/0019\/6491\/original\/SusanGriscom_PL1_final_cropped.png?resize=273%2C106&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Susangriscom pl1 final cropped\" width=\"273\" height=\"106\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a title=\"Susan Griscom\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/photo\/author\/4959103.Susan_Griscom\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/images.gr-assets.com\/authors\/1418659494p5\/4959103.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Susan Griscom\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"freeTextContainerauthor4959103\">Find me on Amazon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Susan-Griscom\/e\/B008R94FNO\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><u><span style=\"color: #0066cc\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Susan-Griscom\/&#8230;<\/span><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find me on Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SMGriscom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><u><span style=\"color: #0066cc\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SMGriscom<\/span><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Award winning author, Susan Griscom, writes paranormal and contemporary romance.
