Book Review: Broken Road
By Elizabeth Suggs
Broken Road by Shannon Lane is a sweet, contemporary romance with relatable characters and many surprises.
Our protagonist, Ellen Mannis, wants to escape her painful past and abusive ex-husband, so she finds a new job as a nanny and part-time assistant for one of the biggest names in Pittsburgh, Brennan Grant.
Ellen quickly becomes immersed in Brennan’s family, almost as if she is part of it. The children love her, and Brennan depends on her, while he deals with his own issues.
I really enjoyed this story from start-to-finish. I love the slow-build romance, but it’s more than just a love story. It's also about growth and self-discovery. Lane has a superb way of writing where she can take you from experiencing the sweetest scene to something intense and provoking.
A word of caution for those who’ve experienced abuse, there is some of it in this book, but Lane is sensitive and respectful with the subject.
I loved this story. One of my favorite romance stories in 2020! Make sure to check out more of Lane’s books! I can't wait to read more myself.
