I love reading books about the Hero pursuing the Heroine and fixing the broken pieces of the girl.Ī Shattered Heart is more angsty and like I said, Kat isn’t easy to be with, but that just makes her character more complex and dynamic. I loved that even though Brain feels the same pain as Kat, he somehow worked through that pain and now he’s on a mission to help Kat. Kat pushes everyone away and although she obtained a huge settlement from the accident, she still lives in the same run-down apartment and is basically coasting through life.īrian is Dan’s younger brother (by one year) and he’s the guy that is going to “save” Kat. Young and first love are the hardest to get over. She loved Dan deeply and I sometimes think teenage love is more emotional, in the sense, it means more and it’s harder to get over. I love a tortured Heroine and Kat fits the bill. Her boyfriend, Dan died and she still feels that pain to this day. However, she harbors many emotional scars from that dreadful night. She doesn’t need a cane nor is she in a wheelchair.

Kat is the only person that left the car accident relatively harmless. Each book is based on the three surviving teenagers from a car accident on graduation night. When an unexpected romance develops, Kat must decide if she is willing to face the ghosts from her past in order to love again.Ī Shattered Heart is a standalone and is part of the Fractured Lives series.

Finding they can lean on eachother, Kat and Brian find comfort in their emotional common bond. The only solace she can find is in her love for art until she runs into Brian, the younger brother of her deceased former boyfriend. Life in Florida proves more difficult than Kat anticipated with remnants of the accident still lingering. Unable to face the constant reminders of the person she thought she would love forever, Kat leaves for twelve months to study art in France before returning home to start her life again. Emotionally, her scars run much deeper from the loss of two of her best friends and her longtime boyfriend, Dan. Physically, Kat Darby walked away relatively unscathed from the tragic car accident on the night of her high school graduation. From Tiffany King, USA Today Bestselling Author of A Shattered Moment, comes book 2 in the Fractured Lives Series.Ī Shattered Heart is the story of Kathleen 'Kat' Darby who discovers that although you can run away, you can never escape the ghosts from your past.
