Gilly Soloman has been reduced to a mothering machine, taking care of everyone and everything except herself. But the machine has broken down. Burnt out by the endless days of crying children and menial tasks, and exhausted from always putting herself last, Gilly doesn't immediately consider the consequences when she's carjacked. With a knife to her throat, her first thought is that she'll finally get some rest. Someone can save "her" for a change.But salvation isn't so forthcoming. Stranded in a remote, snowbound cabin with this stranger, hours turn to days, days into weeks. As time forges a fragile bond between them, she learns her captor is not the lunatic she first believed, but a human being whose wasted life has been shaped by secrets and tragedy. Yet even as their connection begins to foster trust, Gilly knows she must never forget he's still a man teetering on the edge. One who just might take her with him.Present Books During Precious and Fragile Things

Ugh, okay. *deep breath* This book left me really depressed and just empty feeling. I would have written this review yesterday but I was too busy crying myself to sleep. Megan Hart never ceases to pull the tears out of me--and yet I keep coming back for more! I now feel like a total douche for always ragging on my cousin after she calls me sobbing having just finished watching some film adaptation of a Jane Austen novel. I am convinced that the Pride & Prejudice movie is her emotionalA standalone psychological suspense of a a woman relieved when she's carjacked. My Take I don't think I've ever cried so hard at the end of a story. Hart is the most amazing writer. She looks into the heads of average people and brings them to life. In Precious and Fragile Things, we share Gillian Solomon's frustration with her kids as she's struggling to finish her errands and get home all with the chant of "mama, mama, mama" piercing her brain.So it's understandable that she collapses into
I wavered between giving this book a 3 or a 4. Finally settled on a 4 because this book isn't getting enough love.I can't say that I loved this book.It was disturbing to say the least.And I can't say I liked either of the characters.But it was different and engaging. Kind of like a horror show. Certainly not a romance.
Despite this being a book by Megan Hart, known for her gritty, raw, unforgivingly honest & sexual stories, I knew this was not going to be anything like that, at least not one including any erotic overtones. But she still writes a compelling and moving story that had me choking up at the end.Realistically, there was one way this could end. I knew it from the start, yet I couldn't help but hope for a way out anyway. But that would have been way too far-fetched and improbable, and happened the
4.5 starsI love Megan Harts writing - Broken is hands-down one of my all-time-favourite books. So, probably like other readers (and for sentimental reasons), I was a little perturbed to see her moving away from the erotica for which I know and love her.But then I got to thinking. What is it that I love about this her books? The answer, most certainly, is not the sex scenes. In fact, though they undoubtedly well-written, thats probably the very least of it. What I love about this author is that
Megan Hart is usually known for her romances, but you wont find that here. Hart brings you on an incredibly intense journey filled with some serious emotions.At first I really wasn't sure what to think about this book, but as the story progresses I was more and more intrigued. I started asking myself some serious questions that I would never thought to ask myself. What would I do in this situation? Hart opens up a whole new world for me because this could actually happen. It's life. Somewhere in
Let me start off by saying that if you've ever read a Megan Hart book before, be warned; this is NOTHING like her erotic fiction novels. If you've had the extreme pleasure of reading one of her novels then you are aware at how extraordinary a writer this woman is. One of my absolute favorite things about Megan's books are that she writes raw, realistic emotions that people truly experience. Life is not always fluff, nice, and the feelings of falling inlove. Sex is not always graceful and earth
