From the author who brought you That Kiss, That Promise, I Will Catch You, and Tracing Hearts, comes another tale of love and loss.

Elora Foster and Logan Turner never met, until the day she showed up on his doorstep. After a simple, chance encounter, the two embark on a journey that will change both their lives forever.

With good intentions and a heart of gold, Elora has aspirations of being a nurse. But, when she’s hired to take care of Logan, a double amputee, she’s instantly put off by his grouchy demeanor and bad attitude. She’s not sure if taking this job was the right move, or the worst decision of her life.

Logan, who was recently released from the hospital, has no intention of letting anyone take care of him. He’s sure there’s nothing that could change his hopeless situation, so he resigns himself to his fate. When he meets Elora, instant friction begins, but soon, he realizes there's something different about her. Try as he might to behave himself, he finds that his negative attitude upsets her frequently—and to his surprise, it bothers him.

As time moves on, the two become more acquainted, and strong feelings begin to grow, but a road block threatens to derail any relationship that might develop. Just when they think they’ve found a way around it, their lives take a turn for the worse, and they're both faced with a gut wrenching decision which has the potential to tear them apart.

Can she save this lost soul? Can he get over the past enough to see she’s the one? Can they work through the worst problem they’ve ever known, or will the strain be too much?

When Love Breaks
By: Kate Squires
5 out of 5 stars

The story When Love Breaks by Kate Squires is a contemporary romance. This is an amazing book about how two people find each other and their struggle to keep their love alive. The storyline is wonderful and the characters are awesome. Once I started reading it was hard to put down. This is the love story of Elora Foster and Logan Turner. Elora is studying to become a nurse and takes a job assisting Logan as he is a double amputee and just released from the hospital. At first, she finds him rude and grumpy. Then as time goes on her feelings start to change. Elora has a big heart which is why she wants a career helping others. She is just the right person to help Logan as she pushes him to make changes in his life that will help him with his everyday activities. She becomes his inspiration.

Logan is a very unhappy person. He is not dealing well with his situation. He refuses physical therapy and any else that would help him with his life. He is deeply depressed and doesn’t feel that he has a future. Then he meets Elora. He has been through several in-home assistants and Elora may just be his last hope. He then begins to change. He starts to see how his gruff tone and angry words effect Elora and finds himself wanting to interact with her instead of always challenging her. You can’t help but empathize with Logan as his accident was so life changing and anyone would have a hard time adjusting. His transformation is a testament to how both Elora’s words and actions have a deep effect on him. Logan also has a brother Michael who lives in the same home and is not shy about telling Logan when he is feeling sorry for himself and works hard to keep him in line.

Just when these two find each other outside forces conspire to keep them apart. Will their love burn bright or fade away? Will they get their HEA? This is the first book I have read by the author and based on how much I loved this one it will not be the last. She knows how to create a love story that warms your heart. This book does have adult language and situations. It would be recommended for those 18 years or older.

This was a decent book, but I found myself bored through most of it and wishing it would end. I'm happy it ended the way I wanted, but it definitely could have been better.

4.0 out of 5 stars he's bitter and takes it out on others and that's too bad for them
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2017
Elora, a home health aide and nursing student, is preparing for her next caregiver assignment, and she can admit, at least to herself, that she's nervous. Not about the job per se, she knows what she's doing, but about the patient. Seven others have tried and left...oh, did I mention that was only in seven days?

Logan, a double amputee after an accident, was recently released from the hospital and is understandably struggling with his new reality. Yes, he comes off as a bit of, okay, a big jerk, but it's hard to act normal when things have definitely changed. Yes, he's bitter and takes it out on others and that's too bad for them. For some reason though, Logan actually feels bad about doing this with Elora, as well as disappointed because he believes she won't return.

Surprisingly, Elora does and Logan makes an effort to apologize for his previous behavior and be a little nicer, something Elora does take note of. Granted, it's not as if he had a personality transplant, so the grump still makes the majority of appearances, but when the charm, kindess, and humor shows, it's even more special for its rarity.

As the weeks pass, Logan and Elora strike up a friendship of sorts, and neither can deny, though they try to ignore it, the chemistry between them. Logan is a client and Elora can't cross that line. As for Logan, he feels he has nothing to offer Elora, nor could she possibly think of him that way. When Elora injures her ankle, if gives her more insight into just a smidgen of what Logan is now living with and she's determined to help him find ways to adjust and become more self-sufficient, something she knows is bothering him.

It isn't long before the changes in Logan's attitude are noticeable, and he's even considering prosthetic legs now. Plus, he likes being with Elora and making her smile is one of his greatest pleasures. As they grow closer, Logan and Elora can no longer resist what's building between them and they act on it. But the road to a HEA isn't going to be a smooth one.

What happens when obstacles continually try to come between them? Will Elora's employer find out about their relationship? If so, will she lose her job? How did they learn about it? Will Elora finish college and get her nursing degree? What will Logan choose to do with his life now? Why is Daniel, Elora's brother, acting so strange lately? What does it mean for Logan and Elora when a connection to the worst day of Logan's life is discovered? Will it be the one thing they can't overcome? Can Logan and Elora be complete without the other?

One-click now and follow along as two people meet under difficult circumstances and begin a friendship that leads to so much more. Please keep in mind that this is the first book of two, and while some could consider the ending of this one as a HEA, there are some unanswered questions and unresolved situations that will be addressed in the next book. So while this doesn't necessarily end in a cliffhanger, it is close to one.- Elizabeth

Elora Foster, a nursing student who works for a home healthcare company, hesitantly agrees to care for a double-amputee that has plowed through numerous aides with his unpleasant demeanor. She braces herself for the onslaught and encounters a handsome young ex-soldier who seemingly prefers to wallow in pity instead of learning how to live with his circumstances. Bitterness over his accident leaves a sizeable chip on Logan Turner's shoulder, one he is content to carry. His bleak disposition is no match for Elora's upbeat one. With a little humor and a lot of encouragement, she shows Logan that you can still make lemonade from the sourest of lemons...but only if you want to.

I enjoyed this story so, so much. Although I initially didn't care much for Logan-due to his poor attitude and the terrible way he treated
Elora-I grew incredibly fond of him as the story progressed and he embraced his new life. Watching their relationship blossom from friendship to love made my heart swell. I gasped and crossed my fingers in hope that they would overcome the obstacles and revelations they encountered because both of them deserved to be happy.

The supporting cast was strong, but didn't overshadow the main characters. Pacing and plot were spot-on. This is definitely a story worth the time you'll spend reading it. It is a testament to the powers of raw determination and true love.

Some tighter editing would have done this book lots of favours. All the right ingredients were there for a five star read, just needed to be slightly better pulled together.
