Six years
ago, Harold Dalton framed me for theft and sent me to jail to steal my diamond
discovery. He gave his daughter to Jack Clarke in exchange for the excavation
rights. Today, I’m free, and I’m coming for him with a vengeance. Six years of
cruelty make beasts out of men. I’m going to take back what he stole from me,
and more. I’m not interested in his properties or shares. I don’t want his
small change. I want his biggest asset. Beautiful, mentally unstable, Angelina
Dalton-Clarke.
Worth
billions, she’s the wealthiest widow in the country, and also the craziest. Her
self-harming tendencies had Jack declare her incompetent before he put a gun to
his head and blew out his brains. Lina isn’t allowed to touch a cent of her
riches. Her father manages her finances. He has all the signing power. As her
husband, that chore will fall to me. But if she thinks I only want her for her
money, she’s sadly mistaken.

My Review
4 Stars
Beauty in the Broken by Charmaine Pauls is the story of Damian Hart and Angelina 'Lina' Dalton-Clarke.
Damian was framed for stealing about 6 years ago by Harold Dalton. Now Damian is out of jail and not the same man he was when he went in. Damian of course blames Harold but he also thinks Lina had a part in him doing time. Damian met Lina before he everything went down and he has been obsessed with her every since. Lina knows only abuse most of her life and was given to Jack Clarke by her father but every thinks her unstable. Jack is now dead and her father is still controlling everything in her life until Damian shows up and takes control over her. Even though Lina has suffered past abuse she is a pretty strong person for what she has gone through. Damian although crazy over her does seem harsh towards her I thought, but this is a Dark Romance so it is one I signed up for. Dark Romance standards it probably a medium temperature gauge. There is of course some BDSM and may also be some trigger issues for some readers who are sensitive to some issue.
