Healing the Broken is the debut novel by author K. Street. Say what now? Yes, debut novel, and what a debut it is!! I was completely taken with this story, I thought that it was very well executed. From the very beginning, you just knew that it was going to be an emotional ride.

Ryann and Cash are the main characters, in fact, there are very few secondary characters. They met as teenagers and now they have crossed paths again years later. The connection between them is still there, but Ryann’s scars run deep and she’s built a castle around herself as protection. Cash was a phenomenal hero, he was protective, caring, and determined to win Ryann’s heart. No matter what, he was by Ryann’s side every step of the way, willing her to open up to him, striving to help her heal from the demons of her past. Honestly, there isn’t much else that I can say without spoiling it, this is one of those books that is best to go in blind.

The audio is performed in alternating narration, and the performers had me hooked quickly. They delivered the story with clarity, and the tone, pacing, and amount of emotion they put into the dialogue held me firm as a captive listener. One funny mention, I read Ryann's name as Ryan when I read the paperback and only realized it was pronounced Ry-ann once I listened to the audiobook. That was the only thing that took getting used to!

Healing the Broken has elements of suspense, romance and angst, and moments that are sure to break your heart. K. Street has crafted a beautifully written novel with a perfectly chosen title, as this is most definitely a story about healing what is broken. This author is someone to look out for!
