Synopsis
My name is ROSE NEWTON,
and I sell my body on the streets of San Francisco. I’m what you call
society's dirty little secret. On the outside, I'm in control, the woman
who makes her own rules and gives nothing away for free. Inside, I’m
broken and numb. Torn and shattered by my past, my life is nothing more
than the lost fragments of what's left of me.
SHANE WEST represents everything that’s foreign to me. He’s brave, kind, funny, gorgeous and persistent. When fate brings us face to face, an undeniable attraction blazes between us. He becomes the constant I've never had and the only man I'll ever trust.
There is nothing simple about falling in love when you're keeping a secret like mine.

Review
Broken
Girl is the story of a young woman who, although may appear strong and
in control on the outside, on the inside she's lost, she sees herself as
a failure, someone who is existing but not really living. That all
changes the day she meets Shane. She wants him but knows that a guy like
him will never go for a woman with a tainted past, a prostitute, a
woman with nothing positive to look forward to.
This story is as raw and painful as they come, but what impressed me most about the book is the absolute honesty the author uses to bring Rose to life. Nothing was left unsaid when talking about her profession, when describing the experiences that led her to the path she finds herself navigating, or when describing the fight between the vulnerability inside her and the strong front she puts out for the world to see.
The characters were carefully crafted to bring to life some of the qualities I would use to describe this story, darkness and hopelessness (Rose,) redemption, hope, love (Shane,) indescribable loss (Sybil,) unconditional friendship (Briggs.)
This is an emotional tale of a girl who thought all was lost, that there was no chance her broken parts would be put together again. It's about the man who changed it all and taught her that she was worth it, that her past didn't define her future.
