About this listen

From New York Times bestselling author Shanora Williams comes an emotional story about two people still reeling from tragedy who look to each other for the strength to move forward.

It’s been months since her dreams of forever were brutally shattered. Seven long months since her husband and soulmate, Lew, died in her arms, leaving her to carry on. Alone. And Davina Klein-Roberts still isn’t sure how to move forward.

To escape her anguish, Davina throws everything into work, pushing Golden Oil Co., her self-built skin care line, to become a viral success. Now she’s poised to clinch a major endorsement deal too. But it’s bittersweet without Lew by her side.

A meeting with Deke Bishop, the hot NBA star she’s courting for her brand, leaves Davina flustered. With his dimpled smile and warm handshake, Deke’s a natural pitchman. And he’s clearly interested—not only in her lotions.

Davina soon discovers that Deke’s more than just another player and carries his own pain. But as her feelings for him grow, so does her guilt. Will the pain of a future already lost keep her from embracing hope for a new one?

Critic reviews

“Williams shows herself to be deft at narrating…with fully fleshed-out characters whose anxieties and actions feel true to life. She alternates teary moments, which might evoke Emily Henry, with sizzling sex scenes and charming dates. A sports romance that captures the highs and lows of the game of love.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Best story I’ve heard in a while.

Some of these romances can feel like a dime a dozen. By adding real life traumas, William develops characters into vibrant realities. I FELT this; their highs and lows and all the in between. Narrators were GOLD. Five stars! Can’t wait to dig into more of Williams work

A time to heal!

I’ve personally never lost a spouse, however, I have experienced grief. I’ve unfortunately lost my mother and brother and know how paralyzing it can be. I love how Davina and Deke use their personal grief and experience with grief as a tool to heal each other. I wish I could go into more detail, but I don’t want to give any spoilers. It was so good that although I have it on both Audible and Kindle I had to have it in paperback to display on my bookshelf. Just know that this is a five star read for me and I can’t wait to see what happens with Javier and Davina sister lol IYKYK. -Sasha Mason @iamsashafierce411

Davina and Deke have such a Beautiful Broken story; the title does not even begin to dive into the depth of this story. This story is a must-read; thanks to Shanora Williams for this superb writing. However, before reading, please take note of the trigger warnings.

Davina is mourning the love of her life, Lewis. To cope with her grief, she has poured all her energy into her company, making it the best skin care line ever. To capitalise on the increase in sales, she has hired NBA player Deke Bishop as the spokesperson and model for the line. When Davina and Deke meet for the first time, there is a vibe, an attraction.

Deke understands Davina's pain because he has grief that he is coping with as well. Can two persons in their grief bring comfort to each other?

Beautiful Broken Love explores their budding relationship, past, and future. Along the way, family and friends' support helps deepen the story.

Reasons I enjoyed this book:

Beautifully done

This book is so well written. It captures the complexities of moving forward and attempting to create a new life in the midst of grief and loss. The characters are beautiful and so well developed. Deek was so perfect for Davina, in every way. His patience. His support. His love. Absolutely swoonworthy. Although she required more time, Davina was also able to support Deek with his own grief and forgiveness journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. ♥️📚

My only gripe is the narration. The female narrator was exceptional and captured Davina well. My disappointment is with the male narrator. His cadence was off, where he took breaths or paused in weird places within the text. In my opinion, the female did a better job of reading Deek's parts. This is my only disappointment. However, the narration did NOT take away from the greatness of the book. I would still highly recommend it.

Beautiful & Emotional

Deke and Davina. I don’t know where to start. I feel like I have so many thoughts and I can’t articulate them. What I can say is you must read this book. If ever a title described a book perfectly, this is it! Filled with loss and love, this book will break you and put you back together again <3

Gut Wrenching

Anyone who has lost someone so close to their heart that it feels like they can’t breathe will know how close to reality this story is. The love and anguish each of the characters were experiencing was palpable.

Beautiful story and narration!

I finished this book in less than 24 hours! When I tel you it was a good book! I mean 5 stars ⭐️. Shanora developed the healing of each character beautifully and I couldn’t have my heart being tugged at like that ma’am!

Davina had experienced a trauma on two different levels in her life and honestly I would have completely shut DOWN on life you hear me!? And the trauma that Deke had to go through! Man listen, for a young man to come out of that it made me so happy that he did and she highlighted true feelings and situations that all type of people go through and the healing process was even better. Standing ovation 👏🏾👏🏾 from me!

I’m definitely going to be buying a physical copy for my bookshelf okay!
