Synopsis:
If there’s one thing Julia
Wilson has learned in life, it’s that you can’t push your own dreams to the
background for anyone. Newly divorced, Julia returns to the hometown she once
swore would never see her again. Her plan is simple; enjoy the cheap rent her
friend is offering and stay just long enough to develop a plan to make her own
dreams come true.
It doesn’t take long before Julia realizes she’s made a big mistake.
Micah Anderson came closer to breaking Julia than anyone else ever had. After promising her forever, he broke her heart the week before she left for college. Now, Julia’s back in town and he’s going to have to tell her the truth about why he left her. It’s not possible to hide a twelve year old child when you live in a town of 5,000 people.
Is following your dreams worth it if it means giving up on a second chance with her first love? Is trying to make a relationship work worth it if his past becomes a threat to her safety?

Review:
This
is a beautiful love story about the ultimate betrayal. There is also a lot of love,
some loss and plenty of confusion that goes along with the daily struggles of
putting life back together after having your heart smashed to bits repeatedly
in life.
Bent follows Julia and
Micah, who are reunited many years after their break-up before Julia left for
college. The Break up was the kind that devastated them both; it was something
that really both of them never got over (though really, it was all Micah's fault).
Julia's ran back town after divorcing from her husband, hoping she can finally relax
and find her herself once again. But, unfortunately there's no way she could
avoid Micah in this small town. Micah was absolutely devastated over their
breakup and has never gotten over the guilt caused by hurting Julia. To say the
least Julia was broken, and she is determined to not repeat the past.
“Micah,
even with everything that has happened in our lives. I don’t think there was
ever a time when I didn’t love you. You’ve bent the hell out of my heart but
for whatever reasons, I never stopped loving you.”(JuIlia)
“I
know I screw up” Micha said softly “I screw up a lot. You’re going to have to
get used to hearing me apologize because I ‘m not sure I’ll ever stop making
mistakes” (Micah)
There
were a lot of bumps in the road and honestly a few twists along the way that
honestly made my heart hurt. I fell in love with this couple and Caleb and all
I could think was that I really hoped it all worked out for them in the
end. I absolutely could not put this
book down….I had to know …and when the book ended I needed to know more, I can’t
wait to read the next book!!
"One yellow rose,"
Micah said handing the first rose to Julia, "to tell you how happy you've
made me by coming home, even if it's only for a while." "A pink
rose," he continued, "to say thank you for allowing me into your
life. I was an ass and even if I told you I'm sorry every day until I die, it
wouldn't be enough." "This red rose," he handed her the third
stem, "because I love you. I always have and I always will." (Micah)
Author Bio:
With the
exception of three years spent in the middle of Nebraska, H.B. Heinzer has
called southern Wisconsin home. During that time in Nebraska, she imagined one
of her favorite authors living on the far western edge of the county, just
south of the highway. At the time, becoming a novelist was a distant dream for
her. Now, she is the author living in that location. Ironically, she later
found out that same favorite author lives just outside the town HB lived in for
the first eighteen years of her life.
Now, HB lives in the middle of nowhere but still close enough to the city to not feel isolated. It's the perfect place to let her two kids run and explore their huge yard, teach them about the food chain as they prepare their first-ever garden and debate building a chicken coop. It's one of those dreams that is only possible thanks to the amazing opportunities that have come through writing.
