Beauty in the Broken - Review
Author: Charmaine Pauls
Genre: Dark Romance
ago, Harold Dalton framed me for theft and sent me to jail to steal my diamond
discovery. He gave his daughter to Jack Clarke in exchange for the excavation
rights. Today, I’m free, and I’m coming for him with a vengeance. Six years of
cruelty make beasts out of men. I’m going to take back what he stole from me,
and more. I’m not interested in his properties or shares. I don’t want his
small change. I want his biggest asset. Beautiful, mentally unstable, Angelina
Dalton-Clarke.
billions, she’s the wealthiest widow in the country, and also the craziest. Her
self-harming tendencies had Jack declare her incompetent before he put a gun to
his head and blew out his brains. Lina isn’t allowed to touch a cent of her
riches. Her father manages her finances. He has all the signing power. As her
husband, that chore will fall to me. But if she thinks I only want her for her
money, she’s sadly mistaken.
How explicit are the sex scenes – 4.5 / 5
Story – 5 / 5
Overall – 5 / 5Wow! That was amazing!Beauty in the Broken is a fantastic standalone dark romance, and it tells the story of Damian and Lina. Lina is the daughter of Harold Dalton, the man who set up Damian which resulted in him serving six years in prison. When Damian is released, he has only one goal, and that is to seek revenge. He begins by forcing Lina to marry him. This helps gain the power and money necessary to take over Dalton’s diamond mine. Damian continues his retaliation, but along the way, his desire for Lina grows.
Beauty in the Broken grabbed me from the very beginning, and I just didn’t want to let go. I was caught between wanting to read faster to find out what happened next and wanting to slow down so I could savor every word. Damian was the perfect example of an anti-hero, and I couldn’t get enough of him.
I really can’t express how much I love this story. It was by far one of my favorites, and in my opinion, a must read!
