Broken Halo
by Brynne Asher
Blurb
Zero three zero nine.
Four little numbers … four little words. They might be random and insignificant to anyone else, but they meant something to us.
No, they meant everything to us.
Until they were ripped away.
That was the day our lives took a different course. One we had no control over. One that others puppeteered and mangled into a cluster so big, it left us with emotional scars lined with resentment and venom toward each other.
All because I’m a Montgomery and he’s a Barrett.
Now, Trig’s back and he hates me with more hostility and rage than ever … and I’ve learned to do the same. But when the world comes crashing down and the stakes couldn’t be higher, I can’t run and I can’t hide.
I need the help of the one person whose loathing for me runs deeper than blood and colder than his icy-blue stare.
I need Trig.
I need him more than I know.

****
Broken Halo was a good read! This is Trig and Ellie's second chance love story. We got a glimpse of their relationship in Bad Situation, but we don't know details until this book. I don't want to give away too much of the story so I don't spoil it. I will just say, Ellie is the youngest Montgomery sibling. Her horrible marriage ends in a spectacular fashion, leaving her cruel husband dead. Now we see the aftermath. Single mom Ellie's life is in shambles and the last thing she wants is Trig, her first love, back in her life. But when the hits keep on coming for her, life has a way of giving you what you need, not what you want.
Broken Halo is not a light, easy read. There is not a lot of humor. This book is an emotional, angsty story, but not in a bad, stomach-ache causing way. I really enjoyed Ellie and Trig's journey back to each other. They both dealt with some hard life circumstances and needed to come back together in order to heal each other. I liked both of their characters and felt very bad for them both. I definitely felt that they were soulmates who loved each other deeply and were meant to be together. They deserved every bit of happiness they could get. I also enjoyed catching back up with Jen and Eli from Bad Situation. Jen was a great sister and source of support for Ellie during her heartbreak.
Overall, I enjoyed this book! Trig and Ellie's story is heartbreaking and emotional, but also full of love and hope. Their journey back to happiness was unforgettable. I remain a big fan of Ms. Asher and look forward to more from her in the future!
