Broken Beauty is not a book of everybody's choice.
Chloe Adams wrote a impressive story that shocks you, that portrays horror and angst and makes you feel sick to your stomach, but at the same time that brings a message of strength to everyone who needs it.
I need chocolate right now, . .




It is a small book with a story that will be divided into six novellas, and I think that it will be very frustrating to all of us readers that want justice to wait.
Especially waiting with this big cliffhanger!!!!

Her father was a tool, Mia is the child of a politician that cares about nothing else but his career, that even after his daughter gets raped, still holds on to the idea of using that act to his advantage in elections.
. . I mean, what kind of father is this He was selfish, disgusting and so cold, I hated him, I completely felt revolted by this man who couldn't even dignified himself to go visit his daughter to the hospital, and even saying that the rape was all her fault.
I never felt this bad about a character in a book before and I seriously hope that he gets a very bad ending!!!!

"Daddy, why didn't you come see me at the hospital" My voice carries a tremor of emotion in it, one I hope I could prevent.


"Mia, dear, you know I would have if I had the time, Your press conference did wonders for my polls this week, Did Shea tell you"

I shake my head and look down,

"You've become Daddy'slittlehelper," he says with a chuckle,

I'm glad someone can laugh off

my rape,




Mia knows she isn't the poster child for perfection so she's tired of trying, Mia was a troubled girl from the beginning, being sort of "spoiled" and even frivolous, but after THAT happens to her you immediately get a new side to her.
You see The girl who wants love from her father or from anyone because she never truly felt loved, You get The girl that will be revolted and scared but will defy all that she was taught to believe in to stand up for herself.
She goes from scared little mouse into a strong girl, I loved her.


I wanted that Dom and Keasha had more presence in the story, but mainly Dom because I know that he will be a great supporter and guardian of Mia.
And possible romance They were both characters that I really loved to see and probably the only two honest people on the whole book! Just saying.
. .

"Anything I can do for you" Dom asks,

"Just don't leave, "

"I won't," he says, "You play sports, Mia"

I focus on the sound of his voice, which is low, calm and warm, He sounds calm, like Grandpa, and looks like Cory, I don't feel scared around him,

Sadly this is a problem that happens a lot more than it should and the book described it so accurately that it only makes it more real and scarier and it made me so mad! The writing is addictive and fast.
The story was heartfelt, sorrowful and amazing and it made the whole book a wakeup call for our priorities,

Arc copy provided in return of an honest review This was a wellwritten novel that has an important message.
But it was not easy to read at times, The first chapter sets the tone for just how dark it's going to get, and that is very, very dark, Mia suffers terribly at the hands of two politicallyconnected boys, and then is victimized by family and friends after the attack, My heart went out to Mia and the tough choices she had to make, more or less on her own, A good story, but not a light read by any stretch of the imagination, ARC provided by Netgally for my honest review

This book made me so mad because of the fact that it was so real, how a girl or women could go thru this.


Mia AbbotRenou is ayr old high school student with a politician father, He pretty much chooses his career over her and so she is left by herself quite often, Mia goes to a party where she is drugged and raped by a guy she knows and his friend, When her family finds out no one goes to the hospital to help her, They care more about hiding it from the media,

The simple fact that everyone who is suppose to love and protect Mia has basically put the image of her rape under the rug so that they will be out of the public eye.
They choose to make her not admit to the police the name of her rapist, that she doesn't really remember who raped her.
The are either blind or choose not to see how this had affected her way of life, no one should have to go thru what poor Mia has.
She know that she is doing wrong by not admitting the truth, she now know there are others not just her, One of the cops how found her is Dom she sees him as her guardian angel, hopefully with his help she will tell the truth.


Hopefully as the rest of this series of novella's are realesed she changes her mind, I can't wait for the other books, I need to read more about how this story transpires,

I really enjoyed this book, is just that many women in this world who have been raped and have political ties have been in Mia shoes, but we don't ever hear about it because like this story they try to or do in fact sweep it under the rug.


I would definitely recommend this book to my friends, For those of you that have been following my reviews for a long time, you know I'm a bit of an ebook hoarder.
I have a ton of books by a lot of different authors, Lizzy Ford is one of those authors, I have dozens of her books, Even though I have so many, I have never read any, I recently decided to pick up Broken Beauty, I really enjoyed the book,

It feels weird to say I enjoyed the book, I'm not sure enjoyed is the right word, This is in the synopsis, so I don't feel like it's a spoiler to say that the book deals with the sensitive subject of rape.
I thought the author handled the subject well, She drew attention to the issues without being offensive, I think she did a good job portraying some of the situations rape survivors find themselves going through, I felt heartbroken watching Mia go through everything she did while I was reading her story, I also liked that there was zero romantic involvement in this book, Mia didn't need to lean on a guy to feel whole again, I really respect the author for that,

Speaking of Mia, I could not stand her family, I wanted to reach through my kindle, and smack the hell out of her father, I couldn't believe that he could care so little for his own flesh and blood, especially after everything she went through, Mia's mom was the best one in the family, which isn't saying much, She still didn't seem like she cared too much, She cared, but it came off as indifferent or fake more than anything else,

Broken Beauty was a powerful, moving book, It dealt with a sensitive subject in a respectful and informative way, It made the reader aware of a situation they might not normally think about because it's not relevant to them, I don't think I will be continuing this series just because this book was so hard to read, I do however recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn more about the subject, .
