Breaking You

A Blackthorn Elite Novel, Book 2

By: J.L. Beck, Cassandra Hallman

Narrated by: Blake Richard, Olivia Amayo

They say there is always a calm before the storm. A time when you think you’re safe, protected from the destruction that you know is going to eventually come. Harper was that calm.

And I?

I was the motherf--king storm.

As kids, we were best friends. She was the light to my darkness. I used to protect her from her bullies. But now, I’ll become her most feared one. Seeing her for the first time after three years was like a bucket of ice water being poured on me. It chilled me to the bone, making me irrational, angry. No longer is she a little girl but a grown woman with curves and eyes that pierce my black soul.

No one knows the darkness that lingers under the surface. All they see is my smile, my charismatic charm. I’m the all-American golden boy.

Having her back in my life is awakening something inside of me. She reminds me of everything good. Everything I’ll never have. And I refuse to let her stay.

She has to go, and the only person dark enough, dirty enough to scare her away is me.

Breaking Harper isn’t as easy. I thought I knew everything, turns out others are just as good at hiding their secrets as I am.

Damaged, dark, and falling off the deep end. Will I break her? Will I break us?

Sometimes, the scariest monsters aren’t those that hide in the dark. Sometimes, they’re the ones hidden right in plain sight...like me.

Please note: This is a stand-alone dark bully romance. This audiobook contains scenes that may be triggering to some listeners. This is not a YA romance novel and should be listened to only by those who are 18 or older.

Miscommunication at its finest!

Miscommunication at its finest! I wanted to strangle that character for the most part, but it all comes out in the end. Breaking You is a truly dark bully read. Cant wait for book three! Hope it's just as good as book one and two.

Breaking You

An enemies to lovers and second chance all in one! I enjoyed this book and how everything unfolded in the end. Definitely a fun listen if these are your type tropes.

Entertaining!

I thought the female narrator read a bit slow. In some parts her tone was good, but other parts lacked emotion. The male narrator was better in my opinion at bring life to the narration. I slightly increased the speed and it helped.

The story was a bully romance and a second chance romance. Once again I was surprised by the twists. This series is definitely entertaining. Looking forward to the next audiobook.

Completely predictable and anticlimactic…

How to express my opinion of Breaking You…. Hmm… Got it!

Imagine the “dark bully romance” trope is a person.

In this case, the trope is naked w/ no makeup, accessories, or tattoos. Nothing to guess, nothing to anticipate, nothing but the basics.

Breaking You!!

Breaking You is the second book in Blackthorn Elite Novel and a page turning read.

Really enjoyed listening to Audiobook and Highly Recommend it to all listeners.
