Description from the publisher:
When your heart is broken, sometimes all you need is a gentle smile.

Grace Davidson didn’t have the smoothest childhood, but now, years later, she’s ready to start her new life with her amazing new husband—until she discovers his infidelity…with her best friend. Hurt and betrayed, Grace takes off alone for the exotic resort where she should be spending her honeymoon, only to realize it’s as lonely as it sounds. Until her hunky next-door neighbor says hello.

Leo was just a man Grace met while enjoying her un-honeymoon. They became friends, but that’s it. Yet even after she returns home, she can’t get him out of her head. Too bad she’ll never see him again.

Starting over in a new town after finding her dream job, Grace suddenly runs in to Leo in the last place she expects. But is he the man she believes him to be? Or is her heart in danger of being broken wide open?

BROKEN WIDE OPEN is a stand-alone contemporary romance.

The author mentions that this book is inspired by a song by the same name, written by Alex Woodard.  I didn’t know the song, so I went to searching for it.  I found this performance by For the Sender.  Take a moment and enjoy; it is beautiful.

I liked the way that Grace and Leo allowed themselves to be friends when they first met.  This was not a vacation fling.  Because Grace is not a risk-taker, the relationship was forced to go slow.  To become a fantasy.  To be reunited in an unexpected time.  To be put on hold … until it could not be denied.

I read the Whisper Cape series several years ago, but this was completely different.  Different, but equally enjoyable.  I loved it and would love to see more of this type of story from Ms. Griscom.

Narration:  The narrators are perfect.  Their voices melded well and were relaxing but did not sleep-inducing.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
