Damaged Heart by S.M. Soto

Review by Amy W. I was drawn to Damaged Heart from the blurb. I just knew that I had to read it and that I would love it. S.M. Soto did not disappoint. I did not know that this was part of a series, it doesn't read like it is. And now I feel like I should apologize for taking this from another reviewer, the one that had read her previous books. But honestly I'm not sorry. I'm reckless. I'm toxic. I'm careless. I'm so fucking damaged. Samantha is a broken girl and has been for some time. The only constant, unwavering thing she has is Alex. Alex is a great friend and fuck buddy to Samantha, but he wants more. He tries to only give her glimpses of his feelings, knowing that when she sees the reality of how he feels, she'll run. And she does. Emotional and heartbreaking from the beginning. Soto's tale of 'a lost girl and overconfident asshole' shows that you are more than your past, that you are more than worthy of a lasting love. Samantha is broken, damaged and though she thinks she is, she is not beyond finding love. Alex is steadfast in his love and friendship. He gives her what she needs, when she needs it. I fell hard and fast for these two, rooting for them to find their to forever together. I cried, a lot, while reading, but it wasn't all overwhelming heartbreak. There was laughter and good times, and some super hot moments between these two. I mean come on they are friends with benefits ;) I am kicking myself for not reading S.M. Soto before now. If you haven't read any of her novels yet I highly recommend that you start now and from the beginning, because hey that's how things should be done. But if you're wild and crazy like me, go ahead and start here. Just know that you will want to go back and read the others too. **ARC provided for an honest review**
