At four years old, Grace Davidson lost her father in a bizarre accident, so unsettling that her mother never liked to talk about it. Her father had been her rock, her hero, her everything.
Now, years later, she’s all grown up and has married her new hero, until she discovers his betrayal with her best friend. As revenge, Grace takes off, alone, for the honeymoon she was supposed to have with her now, ex-husband…
To an exotic resort, miles from home…
Leo D’Amoré was just a man Grace met while enjoying a little un-honeymoon retaliation against her husband of all of three hours.
They became friends. No last names, no promises, commitments, or ties. Yet even after she returns home, she can’t get him out of her head. Too bad she’ll never see him again.
Starting over in a new town after finding her dream job, Grace suddenly runs in to Leo in the last place she expects. But is he the man she believes him to be? She thought so, until everything becomes broken wide open. Including her heart.
A feel-good story that will take you from the darkest depths to the highest of highs as the past collides with the present.

I really enjoyed this story. Life got in the way which is why it took so long to finish it but, the book is amazing. The twists that you find are amazing and definitely surprising. One of them hit me out of left field. No way did I see that coming. The characters Leo and Grace are heart warming, realistic and relatable. They now hold a special place in my heart. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Well done, Susan!
I really enjoyed this book, it was very emotional at times. Leo had a major trauma in his past that Grace (unknown to them) was linked to. There were a couple of great twists towards the end of the story! It had me hooked from start to finish and I did shed a few tears at the emotional scenes! I adored them as a couple though and had my fingers crossed for them the whole time!
Broken Wide Open is a gripping wild ride from page one to the end. Susan Griscom has written another gut-wrencher!
Grace Davidson was lucky enough to get a fantastic stepfather, Oliver, after her father died when she was only four. Oliver has her back when her new husband bangs her maid of honor at the wedding reception.
Leo, a handsome marine biologist, just happens to be studying jellyfish in Bora Bora when Grace takes her honeymoon by herself. He is a caring, intelligent man whose secret is eating him up.
These two characters are great together. Their fun, easy relationship is infectious. Of course, when Grace’s vacation is over, she has no hope of seeing Leo again, but she is ready to move on with her life. A new job in a new location is just the start she needs. When that new start includes running into Leo and his family, Grace opens her self up again to the possibility of love and loss.
Susan Griscom continues to write stories that take you through the wringer and eventually deliver a heart-warming ending.
This standalone is anything but broken. Right from the beginning you are pulled right into the story. Grace is a strong woman that experienced true heartbreak. She goes to Bora Bora alone trying to get herself together. She meets Leo in Bora Bora. Fireworks are exploding but things don’t go the way you would expect. Then back to reality. Grace is getting back on her feet after the wedding that never should have happened. Grace runs into Leo and the tension is palpable. There is always something in the background that is trying to keep them apart, but the attraction is incredible. As the story continues you feel like you are going to continue on with a predictable happily ever after. But then you are hit unexpectedly with a twist. When this happened it clenched my heart. The raw emotion that you take from these characters is moving. Then I started questioning whether the outcome of this story was going to be what I wanted. It was anything but predictable and is an absolute must read. The spin is perfectly flawed. It’s exactly what you need for an incredible ending.
Broken wide open by Susan griscom another fantastic book put out by this author she really has a true talent for making you feel emotional highs and lows with her characters in this book we meet Grace whose world has just been broken wide open and you can feel her sorrow and her rage as if it was your own personal pain then we meet Leo who is sexy strong and very confident yet as the story progresses we see that he is just as damaged and full of Sorrow as anyone could be this book is fantastic it took you from the darkest depths to the highest of highs and everywhere in between I truly fell in love with these characters and hope that there is more from them in the future
Reading this book almost had me throwing my Kindle across the room. Except it’s my daughter’s Kindle and I borrowed it to read this. The stupid device stopped working for several hours right in the middle of a highly emotional scene. And there are plenty of those. The characters are fantastic. I connected with Grace from the first page. And from that moment on we were on an emotional rollercoaster. From ecstatic highs to OMG lows and back up just to drop again and so on… She is justifiably confused and her head frequently fights with her heart. I kept wanting to hug her and tell her it will be all right but so much kept happening that I wasn’t sure if it would be. I can’t recommend this book enough.
