With emotions running high and some incredible characters Not So Broken, makes an incredible introduction to the Love Grows Series by Renee Regent. This is my first read from this author and now most certainly will not be my last.
This book was everything, this author has created such a real and raw storyline, and amazing characters you couldn’t help but love following their journey through this read and hoping they get the HEA they so rightly deserve.
Gib and Sacha’s journey in this book is one I completely got lost in and loved experiencing things along with characters. Both of these characters have raw and painful pasts, something they try not to let overcome their day to day life but ultimately it does and affects them in ways they didn’t really know. But with everything that happens the connection these two have is undeniable and rightfully so perfect for each other, I still can’t believe how long Sacha tries to deny it for, and how she can’t see that even through the ups and downs and rollercoasters they both face these two prove their connection is real and is meant to be.
With emotions running high for me as the reader one minute laughing and smiling the next holding back the tears, this book truly captivated me with two amazing strong, independent characters this is a story not to be missed!
I can’t wait to see what Renee Regent will bring to the rest of this series – and hope this isn’t the last of Gib & Sacha’s story!
This book is not to be missed!
Not So Broken, by Renee Regent, is the first book of the Love Grows series. This story is a contemporary romance that brings together two unlikely individuals who each have their own secrets. Set in Georgia, the author provides all those details to showcase the difference between small town and big city living. The main/lead characters, Gibson and Sacha, irrevocably drawn to one another. The hurdles that they each have to maneuver gives great depth to each of them. The supporting cast of characters add additional light to the story. Both Gibson and Sacha bought show emotional growth as the story progresses. The method in which Renee Regent has these characters work through their struggles was well thought out. I look forward to read future books by this author.

Rated 4 stars
This is a nice story of a couple who feels life is a bit of a struggle for them. Gibson is hiding from his family and responsibilities. Sacha has plans for her life and her future. Going off the plan isn’t an option. One crazy night and everything is blown to smithereens.
I love that this book is told from both of their point of views. . The characters are good but I kept feeling something was lacking. I just couldn’t feel the connection between them. Not sure why because each character separately had a fascinating story. At times I was bored and others I couldn’t turn the page fast enough to see what was going to happen next. The secondary characters were good as well and made the story more interesting.
The story of Gibson and Sacha is one for the record books. I loved the passion they have and how they complete each other after both have had tragic things happen to them in the past. I couldn’t put the book down, I had to finish to know what happened. It kept me interested all the way through. Oh and don’t forget the steamy scenes! 🙂

Not so Broken is the first book in the Love Grow series written by Ms. Regent and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. The characters are well written and amazing and the things that they over come in this story made them feel real. The story line is different and amazing.
What happens when billionaire in hiding meets a feisty independent woman?
Gibson after losing his wife and child in a devastating accident, he turns his back on everything—including his business empire. He felt unworthy of anyone’s trust, convinced himself he would never find love again, let alone have a family. Then he met Sacha.
It was only supposed to be one perfect night of passion but, it forged a connection between us we never expected.
Now Gib has to convince Sacha they are meant to be together?
Sacha after a bitter divorce left her reeling she forged a new life on her own. Now on the verge of a promotion, everything she want is in reach except a family. Se has all but given up on ever having a child. Then one wild night changed everything. She was swept away by Gibson and now he and I are forever connected. But we barely know each other, and it seems we both have secrets.
After everything Sacha has gone through she doesn’t trust men so how can she convince Gib they are better off apart?
This was a great book and I cant wait to read the next book in this series…

Not So Broken is the first book in the Love Grows Series by author Renee Regent and tells the story of Gibson Colebank and Sacha Rowan. After suffering a terrible blow to his personal life Gibson moves to the tiny town of Tilly, Georgia. A broken man Gibson longs to start a new life away from his family, friends and wealthy lifestyle. He finds that as a handy man in Tilly until he meets Sacha one night and once again his life changes. Sacha has a purpose in life, to remain independent and never to be hurt again as she was by her ex-husband and she now has a plan she is working toward that she refuses to give up but things change once she meets Gibson on a work trip.
This was a sweet story focused on two very strong characters who have struggled in their pasts and carry a lot of baggage. They take a journey to find what is truly important to them. I can honestly say that of the two main characters Gibson was my favorite and I wish there were more men like him in real life. Sacha struck me as a little too harsh at times almost like she was trying too hard to be tough when she needed to listen and maybe even show a little more empathy. With that being said I look forward to reading the next in the series.
Not So Broken (Love Grows Series Book 1) By Renee Regent. This is a new to me author and I’ll definitely be back for more. From page one I knew I was in for an emotional journey with the main characters. Gibson and Sacha have a chemistry that leaps of the pages and grabs your attention. Each one having their own story to tell but making such harmony when they come together. The characters are complex and relatable, you forget you’re reading a story. The emotions are well written and you can feel what the author intended readers to feel at each moment. It’s well written and paced nicely. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.
I loved this story! It pulled me in right from the beginning and kept me turning pages until the end. This is a story about second chances and coming to terms with life in a way. The characters brought this story to life. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that had me laughing, on the edge of tears and the feeling of compassion. Gibson and Sacha are strong, independent characters but what they bring out in each other, their chemistry is awesome. Their story is a must read!

The story Not So Broken (Love Grows Series Book 1) by Renee Regent is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that I loved reading. One of the reasons I loved it so much is the characters of Gibson and Sacha. Gibson is a man who believes that he is broken. A tragedy has left him with memories and feelings of guilt. He has no interest in relationships. He has given up on love. Then he meets Sacha. Sacha is a woman who is intelligent, independent, beautiful, and strong. She is highly motivated and determined when it comes to making her dreams come true. There is no room for a relationship in her life right now. One night changes everything. Gibson is finding himself falling for Sacha. Sacha has never had anyone make her feel the way that Gibson does, however, she is one that guards her heart. Will Gibson be able to convince Sacha that they belong together? Will he get past the shields that she puts up? There is a connection and passion between these two. What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This is a story that I just couldn’t put down. My emotions went through ups and downs right along with Sacha’s and Gibson’s. These two are being pulled towards each other. They are two people who I grew to care about and I wanted them to find happiness. Feelings/emotions are felt by both and there are steamy scenes included that make the temperature in the room rise. You are also introduced to other secondary characters who are part of the story and I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the lives of Sacha and Gibson. There are moments that made me sad, ones that make me smile, and moments that warmed my heart. A story that you won’t want to put down until you have read the final page.
