REVIEW: Bent (Back to Brooklyn #1) by H.B. Heinzer


Synopsis

If there’s one thing Julia Wilson has learned in life, it’s that you can’t push your own dreams to the background for anyone. Newly divorced, Julia returns to the hometown she once swore would never see her again. Her plan is simple; enjoy the cheap rent her friend is offering and stay just long enough to develop a plan to make her own dreams come true. 

It doesn’t take long before Julia realizes she’s made a big mistake. 

Micah Anderson came closer to breaking Julia than anyone else ever had. After promising her forever, he broke her heart the week before she left for college. Now, Julia’s back in town and he’s going to have to tell her the truth about why he left her. It’s not possible to hide a twelve year old child when you live in a town of 5,000 people. 

Is following your dreams worth it if it means giving up on a second chance with her first love? Is trying to make a relationship work worth it if his past becomes a threat to her 
safety?






My Thoughts

I thoroughly enjoyed my journey while reading Bent. The characters were realistic, easy to connect with, and H.B. Heinzer has a writing style that drags you completely into their world.

The story follows Julia as she returns to her hometown after her divorce. While there, she runs into Micah, her high school boyfriend who broke her heart a week before she left for college.

Sparks fly between the two again, but it's not all smooth sailing for them as they try to rekindle their romance from years before.

Micah now has a 12 year old son, and becoming an instant parent wasn't something Julia had planned, but she is overwhelmed by the amount of affection she feels for Micah's son.

Bent truly was an enjoyable read. It had some romance, humour, and some definite WTF? moments. If you haven't read this book yet, I strongly suggest that you give it a read. You won't be disappointed.
