Expected 31 Jan 26Book Three in the Rise of the Broken Heart Series
Her world was destroyed. But his love refuses to leave the wreckage.
The aftermath of Blake’s violent attack leaves Willow shattered. Confined to a hospital bed, her body is healing, but her soul feels fractured and beyond repair. The people she once trusted have left her questioning everything, and the silence inside her feels louder than any wound.
Braxton refuses to let her fade into that emptiness. His steady presence is the only anchor she has left, though Willow pushes him away at every turn. As she battles guilt, fear, and the haunting belief that she’s unworthy of love, Braxton’s quiet strength becomes both her lifeline and her greatest risk.
But healing isn’t simple. Every step forward is shadowed by the past, by secrets, betrayals, and the weight of choices that can’t be undone. When danger resurfaces and the walls around Willow’s fractured heart begin to crack, she must will she let the darkness consume her, or finally trust the love that refuses to abandon her?
Fractured Soul is a raw, emotional continuation of the Rise of the Broken Heart series, a story about survival, vulnerability, and the fierce power of a love strong enough to rise from the wreckage.

This was the last book I read this year and my final review of the year, which feels really special, because this was also the year when Hope began her books writing journey. Being able to follow that journey and be a small part of it has been truly amazing.
This third book in the series felt even deeper and more emotional than the previous ones also more healing. The characters reveal themselves even more deeply. Willow’s journey can break your heart more than once. Her pain, her fear and the way she slowly learns to feel safe again feels incredibly real. Braxton is the kind of supporter every survivor deserves. He is very patient, and protective without being controlling. Noah added warmth and loyalty, reminding how important chosen family can be when everything else feels broken. I was especially happy to see my favorite male character, Finn, return, adding even more depth and connection to the story.
Fractured Soul isn’t just a story you read, it’s a story you feel. It gives you hope and stays with you long after the last page. I’m very grateful for the chance to read this book before its official release and I already can’t wait for the fourth book 💖

Fractured soul!
I was honoured to be able to ARC read Fractured Soul by Hope Everly.
Firstly I need to start by saying reading book 1 (Wicked Games) and book 2 (Deadly Games) is a MUST before diving into book 3! If that sounds like too much of a commitment let me assure you it’s not!
Fractured soul picks up right where book 2 ends and instantly dives into heart ache.
You’ll be hurting for both Willow and Braxton in completely different ways!
Willow is facing an awful path due to her psychotic ex and Brax is right there trying to pick up the pieces and put her back together.
Braxton is someone everyone needs in their life. He is kind, patient, caring and loves with no limits!
In Fractured Soul you get to meet lots of new characters as well as getting to see more of Noah and watch his relationship with Braxton grow into something so sweet!
Willow, while still feeling immense guilt over the events that happened in the end of book 2 really struggles to find herself again but the way she is held together and supported by not only Brax but also Harley, Kat and Finn in this book was just so beautiful to see.
I started this book with a heavy heart but ended it very hopeful for what happens in the next one! Please don’t make me wait too long Hope haha!
If it wasn’t for the fact I had a busy day I would have read this book in less than 6 hours it was addictive!
All in all this series is worth every minute and who doesn’t love supporting a fellow Aussie author!

💫ARC Review: Fractured Soul by Hope Everly
Book 3 in The Rise of the Broken Heart series
My first review of the year, and wow — what a way to start.
I was honoured to ARC read Fractured Soul, and this one hit even deeper than the first two. Hope's growth as an author is so clear, and being able to follow her journey has been genuinely special.
Willow’s story broke my heart and healed it all over again. Her fear, her strength, and her slow return to feeling safe felt incredibly real. And Braxton? The kind of patient, steady, protective support every survivor deserves. Noah adds that perfect chosen-family warmth, and Finn and Harley's love for Brax made my heart so happy.
This isn’t just a book you read - it’s a book you feel. Raw, emotional, addictive… it stays with you long after the last page.
Make sure you read Books 1 and 2 first, not just because you “have to,” but because Willow’s journey deserves the full experience.
Already so excited for Book 4 💖📚

Review of advance copy received from Author
I received a copy of this book as an ARC and I am glad I did because I was waiting with bated breath to get into it.
The story is the third instalment in the series and it follows Willow as she navigates her challenging life!
I have a feeling everything is about to turn around for the better for her.
After the devastating turn of events that left her drugged and in a world of trouble, non other than her knight in shinning armour Brax saves the day.
The way Brax holds space for willow and gives her the safety to find her voice again in nothing short of magic.
I can not wait to see how their story ends.

Book 3 of The Rise of the Broken Heart series is hands-down my favourite so far! Willow’s journey to heal and learn to trust again completely pulled me in, and Braxton… wow. He’s her anchor, never giving up even when she tries to push him away. The emotions are raw, the tension is intense, and those secrets? They just won’t stay buried. It was such an easy, addictive read.
