"האהבה שלהם היא הנשק החזק ביותר שיש ברשותם. הם נקודת התורפה הגדולה ביותר אחד של השני."
שנתיים חלפו מאז שהוא כבש את ליבי. שנתיים מאז שהעולמות שלנו התנגשו. שנתיים מאז שהנשמות שלנו השתלבו זו בזו. אנחנו משפחה עכשיו. נלחמים בייאוש כדי להישאר יחד בעולם שנחוש לקרוע אותנו לגזרים. הוא הלוחם שלי. אני נקודת התורפה שלו. אנחנו יכולים להצליח. אני יודעת שאנחנו יכולים. אנחנו רק צריכים להמשיך לנשום.
היא הדבר היחיד שעשיתי נכון בחיים רצופי טעויות. המחשבה שאאבד אותה מטילה עליי אימה. הסכנה שפחדתי ממנה היא המציאות שלי עכשיו. השעון מתקתק, הזמן אוזל, אבל היא תשרוד את זה. לא משנה מה יקרה, אני אשמור עליה ואדאג שהיא תישאר בחיים.
שבורים לנצח הוא הכרך האחרון והמסעיר בסדרת שבורים. קלואי וולש מביאה את הסיפור המרגש הזה לשיאו הדרמטי, כשהיא מוכיחה שאהבה אמיתית יכולה לשרוד כל סערה – אם רק נהיה מוכנים להילחם עליה.

A heartrending, gripping, and happy ending to the series. I was sitting on the edge of my seat most of time. I read it during my lunch break, I read it during dinner, and I read it right through the night! It was that good.
Lee has grown a lot and is trying to make things work better. Even through their misunderstandings and Kyle’s general bipolar behaviour (and there were a lot) they stuck together. SHE was the glue and Kyle was the d#@c$e!
Lee is a bloody saint for sticking with Kyle. I was so mad at him for majority of the book (in a good way), I just really wanted him to get his head out of his a$$ and pay attention to the 2 people who should matter the most-Lee and Hope! SPOILER ALERT-Why could he not see how hurt she was both physically and emotionally by her father’s abuse?? She tried to talk to him about it and what he said-“grow up, Lee”? Are you fudging kidding me?? At times, I felt that Lee would be better off with Derek. YET that being said, Kyle was deeply and madly in love with her and did make it up to her and Hope in the end. And about damn time too! END OF SPOILER.
This book is NOT for the faint of heart. Seriously and I do mean seriously. There were times that I felt like throwing my head back and sobbing like a baby. The things poor Lee had to go through, it just wasn’t fair or right. The amount of physical abuse she had to take and the number of scars she had on her body? And then the jaw-dropping ending? Throughout the last chapter I was thinking “oh no, please no, no, no, no”! Ms. Walsh, you just ripped my heart out…..but I still heart you. Lol. The epilogue was fantastic and I want to see more books about the next generation, Ms. Walsh. Plenty of kids so plenty of material, right?
Now for the bad-the reason why I am giving this four stars (almost tempted to give it a 3.5) instead of five:
Ms. Walsh, I have to ask you this-WHO DID THE EDITING (yes, all caps)??? Your previous books were great, with minimal need for editing but this one was just terrible, atrocious, and awful! Should I go one? Yes, I think I definitely will. There were errors on almost every page and I cannot believe I am saying this but I am disappointed! I am no expert in the English language but it is “dessert” and not “desert”. Then of course “with” was used in so many places where “for” should be. And finally the dreaded “there” and “they’re”. These are the ones that come to mind but there were SO many more that I was truly distracted and frustrated!! I am really not that picky about grammatical mistakes and let most of them slide but this? This made my blood boil and I am hurt that you have such a low opinion of your fans! Do we not deserve better? Do you not want us to continue reading your books? So, after all this ranting I would recommend that you get a better editor because the one you used for this one should be fired NOW/IMMEDIATELY/PRONTO. And I offer my services free of charge because I want to enjoy your future books. However, if this continues you will lose a loyal follower in me.
P.S.: I cannot believe you would do that to Derek and Karen. Actually I can because you are just marvelously evil like that.
UPDATE: Ms. Walsh reached out to me after reading my rant and she re-read the book and I believe all or most of the errors that I found have been rectified. So, if that is the case then 5 stars!!
The writing defiantly got better as the books went on. Defiantly felt like this series was dragged through BUT so worth it!! It was so addicting, so Chloe Walsh, the way she makes you just fall in love with her characters & my heart was aching at how deep the trauma actually is. This book will forever hold a special place in my heart and that dam epilogue sent me side ways 😭😭😭😭 of course I will be reading their stories next!!!!
One word WOW!! Chloe out does her self in this book. Its exciting all the way through and i couldnt put it down finished this book within the day.. And now its over i dont no what to do with myself! The story made you laugh, cry and swoon at the very impressive kyle carter (dereks no so bad either lol). The end of the book had me in tears , the suspense of how their love story ends is unbelievable. But chloe does the story justice the ending is like no other iv read in a book before!! Well done chloe cant wait to read all the other stories im sure ull write as your to talented no too! Maybe a story for hope and jordan?? Would love to know whats happened to him and how it works out for them *cough cough wink wink* Would recommend everyone reads this book along with the full series.. Well worth it! Xxx
OMG OMG this book was 10 Stars I absolutely loved every single word of it. This is definately the book of the series so far. Here's hoping the story continues and real soon... Congrats Chloe Walsh this book was FANFRICKINTASTIC!!!!!
This book was amazing! The fourth and final book in the Broken series, it has everything you can expect from this author; non-stop drama, twists and huge shocks. It's a such an emotional book, it will make you happy, angry and upset many times throughout the book.
Kyle and Lee are under a lot of pressure because the Grayson trial is coming up very soon. Linda is still AWOL and when Kyle does find out where she is, he basically forgets about everything and everyone.
Derek is in for a huge shock. In the third book Derek was in a really dark place but he is doing so much better. Until this big bombshell turns his world upside, which is good and bad. I won't say anymore, you will have to read to find out!
I still miss Cam so much and after reading the third book I really wanted to know what her secret was. I was nearly towards the end of this book and was thinking "when do we find out?"
All the questions you have ever asked yourself and even ones that didn't cross your mind, this book will give you all the answers you've been waiting for.
Kyle and Lee have been through so much and they somehow just get through everything. They are one of my favourite couples. Derek helps them a lot with looking after Hope and I just loved Kyle's and Derek's conversations, they were just so funny!
Kyle and Lee have a lot of enemies and just when you think everything is okay and they are going to be okay someone turns up and ruins everything. The drama was non-stop in this book, the poor characters never catch a break!
The epilogue was really sweet. Without giving much away I loved all the new characters. They were so much fun! You get to see how the rest of them are doing and not everything is perfect but it was realistic and I hate perfect endings so this epilogue was great.
I loved this series and I am so happy I brought the first book many months ago, it's been an amazing series. I look forward to more books from this author.
my heart is still racing from the way this book made me feel. this was a rollercoaster wow. i felt everything in this, i was angry, shocked, sad, happy, mind blown, honestly just everything. I think this would have been an immediate 5 stars if it wasn’t for the first 200 pages because kyle & lee were still acting the way they were in book 2 and 3 of this series and the fact they would never speak to each other or listen would infuriate me. i actually couldn’t take their arguing any more. anyway after about 200 pages my jaw dropped about 50 times!!! chloe ?? wtf did you put in this book because i’m still in shock. i have sooooo much love for kyle and lee even if book 2 and 3 annoyed me, this family is everything omg and the epilogue !!!!??? my favourite ever & now I’m so excited to read the carter kids series!
"And even in death, I will be there because, Princess, there isn't a force strong enough to tear us apart."
OK! This was hands down the best book of the series. I got about 45% in and I was like ugh I am kinda getting over their constant drama over the same insecurities they have with eachother I wanted to slap some sense into the both of them torturing themselves and one another but I kept going because I needed to know the outcome of a certain trial... Then, plot twist after plot twist, shock after shock came and hit me in the face, and it became a wild freaking ride! So many unexpected things and even some I started to predict shocked me all the same. I'm so glad I've started diving into some of Chloe's other series after falling in love with the Boys of Tommen and after reading the epilogue in this book I'm so keen to dive into the Carter Kids! ❤️
I finally finished my Carter kids journey. This series was definitely not as good as the other and definitely not as good as boys of tommen but once I was in I needed to finish. The first half of this book was SO boring but I knew I needed to keep going to pull it all together. The end and epilogue were great ☺️
Loved the whole series, but I'm not sure I forgive Kyle for his asshole-ness in this one. (Mild spoilers of things he does that drove me crazy) When her father attacks her and he doesn't realize it but scolds her, her heads down she's crying. It broke my heart to see her that way. But it just goes from bad to worse, he tells her to grow up at some point when she's discussing her fears with him. He actually becomes intolerable to me. I hated it, despised it. He's actually straight up rude to her and for quite a while, and the worst part? She takes it. Yes I get it, they're going through a hard time and she's giving it time, but just no, he's meant to love her, not intentionally be rude to her and hurt her. Derek was a much better person to her than Kyle was. Also, I hated hatedddd that it didn't even take one conversation for her to forgive him. It's like suddenly Kyle feels bad, she says one snide comment and then he apologizes and bam, all is good again.
That's why while the rest of the series are a 4 or 5 star read, this is a 3. If Lee would have gained some strength and stood up to Kyle or if Kyle really grovelled sincerely and immensely it would have been 5 stars. But what's the point of making the H act like an intolerable asshole for so long and bam in a paragraph it's all fixed. And I also hate how he comes like this so far into the series ..
Overall though, besides how much of an ass Kyle acts for a good portion of this book, I liked the suspense and the storyline. It's intense, so if you're looking for a sweet easy love, this isn't it.
I did love the first 3 and this did end in a good way. I do see that Kyle loves Lee, but I no longer justify a H's actions because he loves the h, it's not enough for me. I just am against any man being rude to a woman with no repercussions (which we see in wayyy too many YA/NA books now)
I am not okay. Like, I haven’t stopped ugly crying. Guess it’s called the broken series for a reason huh? 😅 because I am, broken, that is 😭💔 this book is absolutely jam packed full of angst and heart break, much like the other 3 books. But this book I expected a slight bit more happiness with it being the last in this series, but fuck me. One thing after the other. Then I thought hmm ok nothing else could go wrong surely? Realised I’m only 50% through.. of course there was more to come. A WHOLE LOAD MORE!! 😭 I’m still crying writing this!! This book hits deep and hard. Not in the good way 😂 …. Yes I am heartbroken but that’s not me saying this series is bad. It’s absolutely brilliant!! ❤️❤️ the writing and storyline is just out of this world!! The storyline is like a family tree, never ending and branching off in all different directions, all aiming for heartbreak. It’s like Chloe thought, hmm, in how many different ways can I break my lovely readers hearts? It’s out of this world the pain and heartbreak throughout this whole series. I think I’ve mentioned heartbreak like 1000 times now but seriously, read this series and you’ll know!! Have a bookish friend there to hold your hand, maybe someone that has read it so they know what to prepare for. I had @booksboysandnails to help me through it 😘🖤… I literally can’t mention anything that happens because everything would be a spoiler!! It’s going to take me a damn long time to recover from this series, but the characters and storyline will forever have a place in what’s left of my heart 😉😂 guys, what’s the funniest, light hearted, angst free, romance book you can think off?! Like seriously, I want rainbows and butterflies 😂😂🥹🥹I’m not quite ready for the carter kids series yet.. taking a break and will go back to them when I’ve recovered slightly 🤣🤣
I don't remember the last time I got so hooked in a series that I was able to complete it in about a week.
this one is a bit bittersweet, and the ride was a bumpy one. I'm happy for Lee and Kyle. I'm happy for Derek. My heart still breaks for Cam whose life was cut short. I'm happy that we finally got to Cam's side of the story. I'm happy that things fall into place, good and bad, for every characters.
And I'm happy that my time was well invested in this one.
this book sent me on an absolute ROLLERCOASTER of emotions. i think i most definitely went through the five stages of grief multiple times in this book. there were so many twists and turns i think if i had my apple watch on it would have exploded trying to keep up with my erratic heart rate. chloe girl, you know how to keep me in my FEELS. the ending was everything i could have wanted and more to wrap up this series and i can’t wait to jump into carter kids because oml 😭😭😭 they’re everything
Having read The Carter Kids before this, a lot of the drama was lost on me towards the end. While I enjoyed this, I wish books 3 & 4 had been tightly edited and combined to make this a strong trilogy.
This book made my heart skip about ten thousand beats. I was on the edge of my seat almost every chapter. I love them and it was so sweet to see their happy ending.
3,5* Esta autora tem claramente um tipo de histórias. Achei que foi demasiado drama, em todos os livros. Não acho que recomende a ninguém mas valeu o gasto, A história foi um bocado tensa mas deu tudo certo no fim
Jimmy is literally Teddy Lynch in another font, but with fewer kids to torment. And Carter Kids finally made sense—three books of Carter Kid, and then suddenly BAM: kids. That man’s genes are something else.
Started this book around 1 a.m., finished it at 6 a.m. A 600-page book. And I didn’t even feel tired. I didn’t feel sleep. I just felt everything. And when it ended, I sat there like… wait. It’s over?
Reading Chloe Walsh without Spotify Premium should actually be illegal. Daddy Kyle had me growling at my Kobo. I don’t even know who I became.
And why do I love Lee and Kyle so much, even though there were chapters in this book where I was pulling my hair out because of Kyle? Like, I was this close🤏🏻 to screaming at the lad.
Now listen—this book is not for everyone. If someone came to me and said it was a 3-star read, I’d get it. I know exactly what they’d say. I see the flaws. But all you really need to know is that it got to me. It broke me, healed me, pissed me off, and still made me love it. Honestly? It’s a 4.5–4.75⭐️ read for me. Not perfect, but pretty damn close.
And I swear, if there’s ever a book about Hope and Jordan… it’s already five stars in my head. I love that girl. God, I need that book so bad.
There were so many plot twists, so many moments where I was holding my breath and crying at the same time. The first 10 pages of the epilogue?? I swear I was about to pass out from the emotions.
This book hurt me unnecessarily —and yet I couldn’t stop reading.
Cameron and Derek… don’t even talk to me. I spent the first two books begging for a book about them because they were just so sweet and adorable. And then the end of book two hits like a truck—and now that plot twist in this one?? Yeah, I SOBBED. No clue how this book made me cry that much, but it did. I spent the whole night going “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK” out loud at my other Chlow Walsh books like I was screaming at her in real life.
Also the letter. I never survive the damn letters.
Can I just say that I haven’t binged a series like I have this since I read ACOTAR in 2020… Holy sh-mokes. This series has honestly hooked me. I laughed, cried and fanned myself at the sexiness and smutness of it all. I am slowly becoming a ʜᴜɢᴇ Chloe Walsh fan.
Kyle owns me. I succumbed to him as my book HUSBAND. He is just perfection. He starts off with manwhore traits but then out comes the caring, smart side that fights what he knows is right.
Lee was a little naive I felt at first, always ending up back in the arms of Kyle despite the crap she would get from his ‘girlfriend’. Her feelings grew for her pretty quickly. She is a soul though, she’s been through a lot and I think that’s what made her, her.
The books take you on a wild journey and book two only got even more intense. Kyle and Lee continue to fight. Rachel becomes of a psycho and badly needs help. Book two played with my heart, it was emotional, intense and Lee and Kyle never once managed to catch a break. I flew through book two, it was short but the ending… I can’t even say the words. I am a goner.
Book three managed to play with my heart even more. Derek was more centre of attention that I expected but I LOVED it. He was a great addition to the book with his grief and it shows just how strong Kyle is. He is fighting for his family, fiancee and daughter whilst also making sure his best friend doesn’t succumb to his grief.
Rachel is still a pain in the ass in book three, she definitely doesn’t give up without a fight, that’s for sure! I have so many questions that I can’t answer yet but I know, in typical true Walsh fashion, she will leave me hanging on a cliff hanger!
Book four was the epitome of this series. There was so much that happened and it honestly was pulling at my heart strings and emotions. It was intense from page one right to the very end. I couldn't believe the twists that Walsh has managed to throw in to the 400 page book. From illnesses, to first loves, to pregnancies, to newly found parents and much more.
I do think Derek needs his own series 🤣
I am struggling to say too much as I don't want to spoil it for anyone but honestly, I will be chatting about how this series took over my life for the first 7 days of 2024 and how I am emotionally ruined by it.
~ריריד בפעם השלישית~ ״זוכרת שאמרתי לך שאפיל את כל החומות? אפיל גם את אלה שאת בונה כדי להרחיק אותי.״ ——
אז מאיפה מתחילים? איך מסכמים את הספר הכי יפה בסדרה, שסוגר אותה בצורה כל כך מושלמת? קודם כל, בראש ובראשונה, אגיד שהספר הזה פשוט מטורף!!! באנגלית קראתי אותו תוך יום וכשתורגם עשיתי ריריד של יומיים. מה אגיד ומה אומר? קשה להיפרד מהזוג הזה. 267 הסימונים שלי מוכיחים את זה 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
הכתיבה יפה כמו תמיד, העלילה מותחת ברמות ולא משעממת לרגע והאהבה של קייל ולי מתעצמת פה מאוד. הדאגה שלו כלפיה, הרוך שלו, הצורך שלו להיות כל הזמן לצידה ולהגן עליה ועל הבת שלהם מהכל… ולא משנה כמה צלקות יש לה או כמה היא מרגישה חסרת ביטחון בגלל הגוף שלה לפעמים, הוא כל כך אוהב אותה ומעצים אותה וזה מדהים בעיניי.
הם עברו כל כך הרבה דברים במהלך הספר הזה, שקירבו והרחיקו (ושוב קירבו) ביניהם. וגם דרק עב�� לא מעט. והלב שלי נשבר כל כך הרבה פעמים בגלל מה שקרה ללי באשמת ג׳ימי ה-₪&@#%$ הזה. לא הגיע לה בכלל. אם יש משהו שהכי התאכזבתי ממנו, הוא הקטע שהיא ניסתה לספר לקייל על מה שג׳ימי עשה לה והוא בכלל לא הקשיב לה והתייחס אליה בקרירות, בזמן שהיא התמודדה עם העצב והאשמה שחנקו אותה מבפנים. אני מבינה שבאותו זמן הוא ממש דאג ללינדה כי היא כמו אמא שנייה עבורו והוא רצה לדעת מה קרה לה ולמה היא מתחמקת מכולם המון זמן, אבל זאת לא הצדקה ליחס הזה. הייתי מופתעת שדווקא הוא התנהג ככה! אבל אחרי שהוא גילה מה לינדה הסתירה, הוא ולי דיברו והוא סיפר לה הכל וכשהוא התפרק מולה, הוא ביקש שלא תמות ושלא תשאיר אותו לבד, מהפחד לאבד אותה כמו שיאבד את לינדה. הוא במצב הכי פגיע שיש והיא שם בשבילו כדי להכיל את הכאב שלו ולהיות איתו לא משנה מה. למרות התקופה הלא פשוטה הזאת, האהבה שלהם מצליחה לגבור על כל המכשולים והם מרפאים את הכאב אחד של השנייה והיה יפה לראות את זה קורה. 🥹🥹🥹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
לא אעשה ספויילרים הפעם, רק אגיד שתכינו את עצמכם נפשית (וגם המון טישו) כי הספר הזה יפה ומרגש, אך גם עצוב ושובר לב, כמות הטוויסטים מדברת בעד עצמה, המון סודות הולכים להתגלות והאפילוג יגרום לכם לרצות לקרוא שוב את סדרת בני קרטר. בכנות, לא יכולתי לדמיין אפילוג מושלם יותר. וכשתקראו - תב��נו.
Why did everything go downhill so fast? From me being super giddy and addicted that I stayed up all night to finish the first two books to I just want this series to be over. 💔 Why make a series this long just to sacrifice the quality? My goodness, I loved Kyle before despite his manwhore ways but in the last 2 books? I couldn’t even remember why I liked him in the first place. Everything just became too much. Just to create drama, the MCs themselves had to act very terrible. Their actions were beyond stupid. Why make us hate these characters for the sake of more page count?!? I only got a tiny reprieve with Derek’s POVs but after that it was back to the never ending drama. At one point, I was asking myself why the author didn’t just kill them already? She doesn’t seem to know the phrase “too much”. Might as well kill the poor girl with all the never ending suffering she had to go through. The drama just never fcking ends. And at the last 10% of the book when I thought everything was finally over and I get some happy times.. NO. The author just had to make almost EVERYONE in this book a fcking killer. I couldn’t have a damn break. At this point, I even missed the time in book 1 when all the problem was OW. This is not a horror/thriller book but it sure felt like it. When I finished this book, I felt completely tortured. I’m beyond stressed with this series. I’m just thankful it’s finally over. 😪
Plot: 2 Writing: 2 Hero: 3 Heroine: 3 Chemistry: 3 Safe: No cheating but this put me in a wringer. So, I’d say this book is not safe for one’s well-being HEA: Yes (but by the time I get to this, I was completely numb so I didn’t even feel happy) OVERALL RATING : 2 STARS
Okey. :). First, there may be small spoilers so if you haven't read and hate knowing the important stuff you should stop reading!! Here it goes. THANK YOU CHLOE WALSH!!! This was the series i have been waiting for since i completed the driven series and crossfire series!! OMG! i have been reading such crappy books lately and you were my savior! So the book starts off as Lee (the lover girl) goes in search of her BFF Cam after she runs away from home. She meets Kyle and the instantly have a connection. Messed up stuff happens (i don't wanna go into any details but it is a lot! This book will have you literally laughing out loud, crying, angry, and any other emotion. Im telling you now that it is VERY suspenseful and you will be hating it at the end of this fourth book. I was soo mad at the way i thought they were going to end the book but then i kept reading and I'm head over heels. I just love Kyle. Not so much at first but he is just a sexy personality. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Please do a book or 2 for derrick!! He deserves it after putting up with Lee and Kyles' Crap through all of these books!
Broken is an understatement of how I'm feeling seeing this series come to an end. It was fabulous from beginning to end! I need more Chloe Walsh... I need a love for Derek Porter,I need a HEA for Derek and Karen.... Please!!!! I also need love for Hope,Cam,Colt,and Logan... So Chloe you have your work cut out for you! Lol... Happy writing,I will be waiting.God Bless!!!
I am telling you I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the book. My goodness I have never seen so many people after one couple. They needed all the breaks they could get. This story had love, craziness, crazy people, some very hot moments, bickering, temper tantrums and suspense all wrapped in one. Be warned it will drive you mad but it is so worth it all. Gosh I love Kyle carter. ;)
