Bend by Graham Claire Release and Review

This is the first book in the Bend and Break Duet from Graham Claire. This is the story of Beau and she is a girl who finds herself about to be married to a stranger in a few weeks. Her brothers Lincoln and Teague are super protective and try their best to protect her but they are at a loss too. But never fear Beau has a plan. If she has to marry this stranger then the only way she sees for that not to happen is to marry someone else. But first I must digress and tell you that Beau is introduced to this mystery man by her father one time and that meeting resulted in him almost crushing her hand and badly bruising her arm. No doubt about it, if she ends up with this man there is no doubt that the abuse will continue and get worse. And this is also where I need to tell you that you are going to hate with a passion Beau’s father. Its ok I hated him so much. Ugh what a horrible horrible man this is. However she doesn’t let her brothers know what Alex did to her and it is very hard to protect someone when they are keeping such secrets but Beau has a bad habit of keeping things from her brothers. Beau however refuses to live this life and has only ever had one boyfriend in her life and that was Garrett Calhoun who is a firefighter and a very close friend of her brother Teague. But as usual brothers never ever think that anyone is good enough for their sister. He also though hurt Beau. So will her plan to marry someone else even work with her overprotective brothers looking out for her. You have to read to find out. There is a lot going on in this book and it really keeps you on your toes but I loved it. I loved Beau and I like watching her grow because when this book first started I knew this was a girl who had a lot of growing up to do. This is the first book in a duet so you should expect a cliffhanger…did I mention that I hate Beaus’ father. Ugh that man. I have to know if he gets what he deserves in the end now.
