I wasn't sure about Broken at Love going into it. The whole manipulation game plot could have gone either way for me: either sucking or completely surprising me. Sadly, it mostly sucked. Quinn and his half-brother throw a party for every tennis event where a girl is chosen that Quinn must first sleep with, then make her care for him, and cruelly dump her. Emilie is the chosen girl, but Quinn doesn't expect her to say no when he pulls the "I'm not like how everyone thinks I am" guilt card.

Broken at Love was quite an annoying read. After making out for five minutes, Emilie is convinced that Quinn will "break" her. Um, what? You just met the guy! How can he have that kind of power over you?! She also knows his reputation, but believes that she can change him. Isn't that how it always goes? Of course this is that kind of story, but she was completely convinced after one conversation that he wasn't the guy she thought he was. Yeah, alright. Then there's this aggravating back and forth between them. They come together, break apart, kind of make up but not really, break apart, come together...

I was just disappointed with Broken at Love. The whole "game" aspect was dumb, because he does it so often that the girls should be aware that something is up! Plus, who falls in love within two weeks?! The whole game lasts two weeks or less, so I had trouble believing that. And the set up made no sense, because it's just based on blackmail from his half-brother who is like....jealous? I don't know. It just wasn't a very good read. It is an interracial romance though, so there's that.

Review

The book wasn’t something overly original or had some plot devices that managed to surprise me or did anything remarkable to get out of this typical NA plot trap. Nevertheless, it was a decent college romance story with quite an addictive plot.

I read reviews saying that Quinn was a complete douche and unredeemable, but let’s be honest, he never promised any of the girls something he didn’t intend to give them a relationship, love, a steady and loyal partner, etc. It was the girls’ choice to enter into this… affair (?) with him, so yes, I was ready to hate his guts, but it didn’t really occur. However, this doesn’t mean that his intentions and methods were in any way right, but someone who was beyond redemption he was most definitely not – it takes two to tango. Also, several times I read that Emilie should have stopped chasing after him like a lost puppy and ended things after the multitude of times that Quinn disappointed and hurt her. Here, I was ready to be frustrated with her, but again, this didn’t really happen, because I wasn’t quite sure if you could call her behavior “naively running after him.” Yes, she gave him chances, was there for him, slept with him, BUT she did that accepting that he didn’t want a commitment, but she still decided by herself to wait till he was ready, because obviously she felt that something, knew what she wanted and gave his douche behavior the benefit of the doubt – and it seems it paid off.

Ok, I don’t know how many times I’ve said this, but please let’s stop with the compromising photo hassle for the final conflict. It’s just bothersome. Also, the brother was such a creeper, it wasn’t even funny, but he fit as a villain. Both of the fathers were worse douches than Quinn, so if you want to hate someone in the book, then hate on either of them or both. Another con The steamy scenes didn’t really do anything for me, they just were. The ending seemed to be too polished and bright in a sense as well, but I actually like happy endings for people with huge issues and hard times, so it was fine.

Characters

Emilie – I loved that she wasn’t some naïve virgin, she knew what she got herself into and took it with arms wide open – and I respected her for this. If you think about it, she was incredibly strong, determined and a true fighter who went after what she wanted. I also liked that she wasn’t a wallflower or outcast liked many NA heroines I’ve read about lately.

Quinn – His way of dealing with the pain was destructive and wrong not only to himself, but also to the people he intentionally hurt, but it WAS real, stabbing and heavy pain he had to go trough nonetheless. His ego crushed, career ruined, father hates him, no real goal in life anymore, psycho brother, etc and he obviously wasn’t up to the challenge to fight this by himself – not everyone can handle so many issues and come out clean without any additional aid. However, him reacting to this one beating so carelessly and knowing about that gave him real minus points. But, he could also be incredibly sweet and considerate, eg. on how he secretly helped out Emilie with her problems.

Overall

It had its flaws, but I was intrigued enough to definitely continue with the series. I’m looking forwards to Ruby’s story.
When I first started reading this book, I thought Quinn was a spoiled, rich jerk that was angry because he couldn't play tennis anymore because of an injury and since he was used to getting everything he wanted, he was going to take his anger out on whoever he wanted. As I continued to read the book, I was surpised that I was wrong and found that Quinn was just a little lost boy who never felt loved in his life. I started to feel sorry for him (shows how first impressions can be deceiving). I liked that the author gave you Emilie's point of view as well as Quinn's. This way, you could really see what was going on in Quinn's head and see how much he had been hurt all of his life (from his mother, father and half brother as well as girlfriend). No wonder he had such trust issues with his heart. There comes a point where you just want to hug him and tell him he is worthy of being loved.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this book. It kept me interested and kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next. I liked that there was not a cliffhanger, but an actual wrap-up of the story and an actual ending. So many authors are ending their books so that they can continue the characters' stories into their next book and I'm starting to get tired of that. I have about 7 series that I am waiting for the next book to come out some time during this year. It is starting to get old.

I would definitely read another book by this author.
