Amazing book. *by M***N on May 17, 2013* I flew through this book. The relationship between the main characters was full of joy, pain and scorching chemistry. I wish there was a sequel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good story, happy ending *by K***R on September 7, 2016* Dark premise, good story, happy ending! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Too many clichés for me *by C***R on September 23, 2013* Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 5/10PROS:- There's enough unpleasantness in the early stages of the book that I doubted the author's ability to bring things to a satisfactory (for me, that means happy) close. But I was pleased with the conclusion.- For readers who like sex, there's a decent amount of it here, and it's pretty descriptive.- (Disclaimer: I'm not sure whether this is a pro or a con.) Eben's inability to pronounce Xiu's name properly sort of made me think of Eben as an idiot, which I'm not sure is a positive character trait in a romantic hero. However, the simple-mindedness with which Eben views the world is also kind of refreshing at times. He is an interesting mix of naïve and tough.CONS:- The story incorporates one romance cliché after another: hurt character igniting passionate protective instinct in the other, immediate attraction, erotic dreams that begin soon after they meet, situation in which the guys want each other but simply cannot be together because Fate is cruel, etc.- The dialogue sometimes sounds forced because the characters are saying things that people in that situation wouldn't really say. I got the impression that the author was trying to convey details about time, place, background, etc. using dialogue when the characters would already know all of that information and probably wouldn't talk about it.- Freely's phrasing is odd at times. I couldn't figure out whether she was attempting flowery descriptions and just went overboard or she didn't have a solid grip on the English language. Examples: "Xiu took a moment to run his hands over the muscles bunched there like boulders at the foot of a hillside"; "Shoe [pounded] Eben with relentless majesty."Overall comments: I like the premise here, and I really wanted to like the story. I didn't hate it, but I didn't end up particularly liking it either. The story relies too heavily on cliché for my liking, and it takes a lot of depth in a story to make me believe in a romance between men who are 21 and 20 years old. This one simply didn't do it for me. I started skimming about 40 percent in. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/21952167-broken-paperback-september-3-2012](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/21952167-broken-paperback-september-3-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
