Broken Dreams

Kelly Elliott — 2014
Courtney Will always dreamed of finding her Prince Charming and living happily ever after, like in the fairy tales she read as a child. Her dreams were shattered one fateful night when her prince turned out to be her worst nightmare. Burying herself in her job as an editor, Courtney tried to forget her past, and she lost hope of ever finding true love. Reed Moore's past filled his world with guilt and anger, and then a mistake in college deepened these feelings. Fearing he will one day repeat his father's mistakes with the woman he loves, Reed has vowed to never give his heart to anyone . Reed and Courtney have each spent years building walls to guard their hearts, so when their feelings for one another explode into something unexpected, they argue and throw hurtful words at each other in hopes of avoiding the truth. Will Reed end up being the Prince Charming Courtney has dreamed of her entire life? Is Courtney the woman who will help Reed move past the guilt and anger, so he can embrace love? Can their broken dreams become their happily ever after?"

Like all of Elliott's books I love the love story. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it was a bit more unrealistic than the rest of her stories. There weren't really any problems they faced. Any problems were immediately addressed and weren't really a big deal. I kept waiting for a plot twist to happen or something to happen and break them up, but nothing else happened. It was basically happily ever after for the last half of the book. The only plot twist I saw coming from the first page of the book. I feel like the characters had really good potential and were mostly used to their extent, but could have added more twists to their relationships. In romance books, everyone hates when there are problems from keeping the couple together, but without them the story is just boring.
