Shattered and Shaken (Shaken, #1)
by J. Bailes
18+ Mature Audience Only
SYNOPSIS:
Allie Anderson has encountered more heartache than any
one person deserves. She’s lost her father to cancer, her brother to war, and
the love of her life –Wyatt – took her most prized possession and vanished
without a trace. She’s left crushed and heart-broken.
Blake, Allie’s best friend, is everything she needs;
he’d give her the moon if she asked for it, but there’s one problem – he wants
Allie entirely. How can Allie give herself to anyone when she’s not sure
there’s enough left of her heart to give away?
Allie’s life begins to fall into place. Her heart
begins to heal. Being happy is no longer a foreign emotion. That is until the
man who broke her years ago returns, shattering her fragile heart all over
again.
Allie soon discovers that hearts are like broken
glass; you can put it back together again, but it will never be the same.
Our Review:
4 Stars
Shattered and Shaken starts off
as a tear jerker and throughout the book it’s just a roller coaster of
emotions. I have so many mixed feelings about this book I don’t even know where
to start, I love it, I hate it, yet I still want more.
Allie is a girl with commitment
issues. She feels that every man she has ever loved has left her one way or another.
Allie’s father dies from cancer, Wyatt, the love of her life vanishes from one
day to another and her brother is killed in the line of duty. All the loss in
her life makes her insecure and she has a tendency to overact at the most
insignificant moments.
Blake is the perfect book
boyfriend (MINE!). He comes from a loving family and is currently on his 3rd year
residency at a local hospital. He has it all figured out, the only thing
missing is for Allie to open her heart and trust him enough to give herself to
him. **sigh**
After years of flirting and
teasing Allie finally agrees to move on and open up her heart to Blake. Life is
finally starting to look up for Allie. Then Wyatt comes back into the picture.
He is determined to win Allie back and starts his pursuit for her. This has
Allie second guessing everything she has built up with Blake.
Next thing you know everything
comes crumbling down. As secrets are revealed and hearts get broken,
feelings of betrayal leave Allie once again with a shattered heart.
J. Bailes has left me in total
shock. I was so engrossed in the book that I didn't notice
it was almost ending. I literally screamed when I read the words “To Be
Continued….” Why??? I need more like now!!! I am anxiously waiting for the next
installment in Shaken Series. J. Bailes I am totally
hooked! #TeamBlake
