4.0 out of 5 stars A very sweet and unusual love story...Must read..:)
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2013

Are looks everything when it comes to love?
Are disabled people not deserving of someone's love?

Ethan Searle, injured in a near fatal accident at the age of six leaving his legs crippled, believes women view him with pity and definitely don't consider him as a prospective match for them.
But that's cool with him. He had loved once and got burned in the process. Never again is he going to make that mistake. But fate has other plans and he meets his match in the three year old sweet, bubbly and vivacious Brit or Brittan, who loves him despite his disability. The same, though, cant be said of her mother, Autumn, who it seems is bothered by everything about him!

Autumn had been in an abusive marriage and it took a miscarriage and getting beaten and then raped which landed her in a hospital to free her from her abusive husband, Trent. She has ever since lived in the fear of her husband returning and harming her and Brit. She is wary of men and has vowed never to trust, let alone love one ever again. Despite all her best intentions, she feels herself getting drawn in by Ethan's kindness and apparent love towards her daughter.

But can they let go of their insecurities and fear to give love a second chance?
Is Autumn truly free of her abusive husband, Trent?
Will Brit work as the bridge which will join these two damaged, love deficient people?
"Love conquers all"..Is this valid in this case?

My first ever read from Cami Checketts and I am highly impressed by the author. She has sensitively handled the difficult topic of physical disability and brought forth the dilemma and the daily challenges that such people face in every day life. Their struggles, frustrations, sadness and ultimately their need to be accepted as they are is beautifully sketched in the character of Ethan. He is super sensitive about his disability and often misinterprets people owing to this. His longing for Autumn and Brit brought tears to my eyes and made me fervently pray for a Happily-Ever-After for him. What can I say, I am a sucker for good looking men specially the sensitive ones!! :)

Autumn's character is warm, loving and over protective towards her daughter. She is sometimes childish but nevertheless completely endearing to the readers.

Brit is the star character in the book and I felt she is the main character also. It is she, with her innocence and love who brings Autumn and Ethan together. She is endearing, full of life and so sweet with her childish prattle and tricks. Totally loved her.

The romance between Nancy, Autumn's mother and Joseph, the local plumber was so romantic and cute. They are truly made for each other and it was like a breath of fresh air to see people who are shy and although deeply in love with each other are uncertain how they should show their love for each other. I was so touched! :)

A very notable effort and a sweet love story which kept me hooked and swiftly turning pages. I also loved the cover of the book, specially the little girl in the picture who aptly represents Brit. So so sweet. :)
I give The Broken Path a 4 out of 5.
If you are in search of a sweet, simple and an unusual love story then this is the book for you. :)

First and foremost, I absolutely LOVE Ms. Checketts novels! They are wonderful and beautiful. It is not every day that you find a true Christian novelist! These wonderful stories are full of romance and mystery; I am so lucky to have stumbled upon her work!

Do you like romance? Do you like suspense? Well then you have come to the right place! "The Broken Path" is an EXCELLENT novel that kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning until the very end! It's not every day that you learn of a heroine that has overcome an abusive past, but in the heart of this novel we find the beautiful Autumn and her daughter Britt. Can the cripple, but still very capable Ethan protect her from her past and teach her to love again? In this amazing novel, you will have to keep reading to find out.

Please, let me be the first to beg you to pick each one of them up and read them at your earliest convenience!

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2016

Overall, I enjoyed this book. The set up for the story was very interesting, with a hero who has a disability and a woman who has escaped an abusive marriage. I liked the general storyline and listened to it as an audiobook and enjoyed the reading of it for the most part.

What started to wear on me was that the two main characters behaved and reacted to each other in a very juvenile manner. It bothered me at first, but just became tiring as the story went on. I was glad when Autumn and Ethan began communicating better toward the end of the story.

I did like the way the author finished the book and tied up loose ends to make a nice, complete story.

I was hesitant to get this book because the cover seemed very old fashioned. The description of Ethan, as a tall muscular, very good looking man sure doesn’t match the man on the cover, who seems just from the back to look old and is dressed more in 70’s fashion. And that was a hang up for me, which it probably shouldn’t have been. But once I started reading the book, I forgot about the cover and really got into the story. Turns out it was very good and very entertaining. Covers are so important and can set the mood even before you read a word. But look past the cover and give Broken Path a read!

What a DARLING STORY and an adorable little girl! I found myself saying that Britt was not real over and over again. Autumn had escaped from her abusive husband, divorced him while he was in prison, returned to her maiden name, and moved back in with her mom. Trent had beaten her before he raped her and sent her to the hospital. She made a good life for her and her little girl thinking that she was finally safe. I adored Ethan who had lost his legs in a car crash when he was a boy. He had noticed Autumn as an adult and was attracted to her, but he was insecure about his handicap and thought that she looked at him with disgust and that had hurt his pride. BROKEN PATH IS A MUST READ!

Great story, great characters, action-packed as Autumn, a single mom with a lovable three year old, meets Ethan, a handsome hunk of a man with a severe defect in his legs, and finds herself intrigued and drawn toward him against her will. Autumn feels everything she does upsets or offends the bristly Ethan...except her daughter, who has him wrapped around her fingers. Ethan thinks Autumn pities him and sees only his handicap. Autumn's ex-husband went to jail for abusing her; Ethan's ex-fiancee left him and caused him to doubt himself. Can they both learn to love and trust again after the pain they have endured?

Reviewed in Canada on July 28, 2019

Read almost 60% and realized I can't handle it. I was expecting something else as the storyline had potential. I still think it does. But the story itself was badly written, I found the book to be childlish, and the characters that were suppose to portray strong independent women ended up acting like 16 years old. And to top it all up, that little girl is probably one of the most annoying child I could imagine. Just skip this one.
