Unbreak My Heart by Lauren Blakely

I didn't break her heart, and she didn't break mine -- we broke each other's.

I never stopped loving her, but time and distance played its cruel role in ripping us apart three years ago when she moved halfway around the world. Now after all those endless miles away, she's returned . . . but I'm not the guy I was before.

Beautiful, kind, and loving, she's the same -- my hope. The only one who can make a day better, who can make me feel again with one kiss, one touch, one night.

There's so much I have to put back in place now that I’m alone and on my own. Things I never wanted at the age of twenty-five. When I receive an unexpected letter that might hold the clues to everything I desperately need to understand about my family, I'm sure I have to follow it. But that means leaving her once more.

She says she'll come with me, and having her by my side will unbreak my heart . . . or destroy it.

That's the chance I have to take.

Right Where I Want You by Jessica Hawkins

There’s a thin line between love and hate . . . and it cuts right through the middle of their office.

Bad boys run right over good girls like Georgina Keller, but after a confidence-shattering breakup, she’s determined not to let anyone at her new workplace push her around. Especially not the brooding creative director, a “bad boy of publishing” who’s made it clear she’s enemy #1.

Sebastian Quinn's taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is suddenly threatening to end his career. And even though everyone says pretty, pint-sized Georgina is there to help, he can’t help thinking she’s hoping to land the final blow—and maybe even his job.

Georgina can help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or inconvenient attraction will distract her.

✦The audiobook is narrated by Joe Arden and Erin Mallon! ✦ 



So I read this book (as I often do) before listening to the audio. I have to start by saying that I'm a crier. I've been known to cry tears of joy, tears of sadness, even tears of frustration (though it takes a lot to get me to that point). So when I saw the blurb for Unbreak My Heart I knew I was going to need tissues. This book was everything I could have asked for and more. fore listening. Reading this book was an emotional experience, but HEARING it performed was perfection.

I had a high bar for this audio. I really rated the book 10 stars (it deserves every single one of them) so the audio performance had a lot to live up to-and it didn't disappoint.

Joe Arden truly nailed this portrayal. He had such emotional depth throughout the book. I could hear Andrew's struggles, his joys, his tears-all of it in Joe's voice. I was moved to tears over and over listening to him give this character life. It was achingly perfect. I just wanted to crawl through my headphones and hug him. This book solidified my adoration of Joe.

I have such a girl crush on Erin Mallon. I love how she slips into a performance and just owns it. I'm never disappointed in her and she added to this book quite nicely.

The story here is simply beautiful. I felt transported and rooted at the same time. I was with Andrew every step of his journey. The supporting characters here really helped him grow and it was just so lovely. There were so many moments that moved me, and I loved, loved, loved learning things right along with Andrew-I won't say more because I don't want to spoil anything.

This book is worthy of ten stars to me, five just isn't enough. I was gripped from the start and felt every emotion right along with these characters. Such a beautiful telling of love, healing and hope. I absolutely highly recommend this narration.

I have to start by saying that I'm a crier. I've been known to cry tears of joy, tears of sadness, even tears of frustration (though it takes a lot to get me to that point). So when I saw the blurb for Unbreak My Heart I knew I was going to need tissues. This book was everything I could have asked for and more.

Andrew. Sweet, sexy...and hurt. You can feel the hurt coming off of him in waves from the very beginning. I wanted desperately to hug him and offer some kind of comfort, even as he moved me to tears. I certainly don't want to spoil anything, so I apologize for being somewhat vague, but the journey Andrew takes, both physically and emotionally is one of the most beautiful I've read. I absolutely love him.

I adored Holland. I loved her strength, her sharp mind and her tenderness. She was strong enough for both herself and for Andrew. I admired her ability to be as clearheaded as she was at times; because lord knows Andrew is a charmer. Holland is the type of woman I would want to have as a friend. Kind, caring and always in your corner.

These two have such fondness for one another, for what they once were to one another and what they can be. They flow together so well-and while neither of them are perfect they are perfect for each other. I loved seeing them reconnect and come together. They definitely made me melt.

The writing here is simply beautiful. I felt transported and rooted at the same time. I was with Andrew every step of his journey. The supporting characters here really helped him grow and it was just so lovely. There were so many moments that moved me, and I loved, loved, loved learning things right along with Andrew-I won't say more because I don't want to spoil anything.

This book is worthy of ten stars to me, five just isn't enough. I was gripped from the start and felt every emotion right along with these characters. Such a beautiful book of love, healing and hope. I absolutely highly recommend this book.



Part of the journey that life takes us on if the journey to find our happy, and to find what completes us.

This is different for everyone, it takes different shapes and different things are important.

Finding the happy, and being whole, also requires loss. Sometimes the loss is temporary and other times, it's permanent. But how you get through, how you move past it, and how you find your happy is what makes you whole.

When we meet Andrew, he's grieving the death of his brother Ian, his inability to move past it bothers him, but is also normal as it has only been a few weeks, so he's entitled to be a little broken, a little fragile, and a little angrier at things (like badly parked cars) than maybe he is normally.

Holland helped care for Andrew's brother during his final days, and she's Andrew's ex. An ex he never totally got over because their relationship didn't end so much as hit a hurdle they couldn't get over.

Holland is Andrew's crutch, in many ways. And, as you would be, I think, is afraid that he needs her because he's grieving, not because he needs HER.

This book is beautifully written and is Andrew's journey from grief and being broken, to understanding of the choices of others, to seeing how much those around him matter, and to finally being able to let go and be at peace. It's his journey to being whole.

Yes, this book made my cry. But, just like Andrew, after the tears, it also left me whole.

I recommend this title.
