Broken Hearts Academy #2
Heartbreak Lover
"I'll ruin us," Jackson whispered to me in the dark.
Monsters exist. I'd seen that firsthand. Beautiful faces could hide the most tainted souls, that much I knew for sure.
I'd said goodbye to Jackson Parker, desperate to save myself once and for all, but old habits die hard. Every kiss, every touch, every word he'd given me felt imprinted on my skin.
But when a monster from the past comes back, I'll have no choice but to reveal the secrets from our shared history.
I need Jackson to be my hero, but he has his own scars, and I don't know if we can conquer the past.
Heartbreak Prince or lover? There's a fine line between the two.
I once said I would love him forever, but at what price does forever cost?
Maybe my very soul...

'HEARTBREAK LOVER' is the second full length romance book in C.R. Jane's 'Broken Hearts Academy' duet. It picks up where the first book left off. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.'
PHEW HOLY CRAP..I wasn't sure I would survive this book..This author pulled out all the stops leaving me obliterated in her dust! She threw everything she could at us in this book.
After the way that cliffy ended in the first book Heartbreak Prince once this landed on my kindle life was put on hold and on tenterhooks I tiptoed in. This was one book which I was highly anticipating. I couldn't wait to see how this was going to pan out. This duet was such a surprise, and wow what a crazy ride it turned out to be. So many angsty moments, so many emotions, so many swoony moments, so many twists and turns came at me out of nowhere leaving me reeling in their wake.
Twin brothers Jackson and Caiden and Everly the girl that they both love are now all attending Rutherford Academy. A solid friendship since they were eight years old, until it became more. Caiden had never attended their school but he became a legend first and foremost for his sports prowess then the years he lost and lastly for his remarkable recovery, though he doesn't have much recollection of the night where everything changed.
Caiden's come out fighting, he won't accept that Everly and he are over pitting brother against brother. She's one brothers soul mate, she's the others obsession. Jackson and Everly have a soul crushing all consuming love that burns in the background, but Caiden is always there always trying to get in between them and claim her as his.
Poor Everly just couldn't get a break, I wanted to wrap her up in cotton wool and protect her from everyone who wanted to cause her harm. Her time on campus was a living hell, from her roommate, to a boy she used to love wanted a piece of her. Punch after punch she had to get back up and shake herself off, she was such a likeable resilient character that we could all connect with.
'Heartbreak Lover' was utterly unputdownable and unpredictable in every sense of the word. It's not your typical bully romance book. It's insanely addictive and all- consuming.

2.75 stars
Not impressed. Both Caiden and Jackson did her so wrong and dirty. And man did she SUFFERED. Both emotionally and physically. Jackson was still a jackass here until 40 % in. And Everly just keeps going back for more pain & humiliation. And continues having sex with him nonstop. I wanted to shake this girl! This guy ABANDONED her in her darkest hours. She was brutalized, injured, lying in pain in a hospital bed. And he just blames her and left. Never bother to seek out the truth. All the vile and cruel things he said. Throwing OW in her face, choosing his brother over her. And she just takes his abuse and didn’t even make him work for it. Just boggles my mind.
The whole climax of Jackson finding out the real truth took too long. And I was OVER it. Of Everly crying and consoling him. Shouldn't it be the other way around? The girl was just such a masochist with no sense of self-preservation. Letting Jackson used her body to ease his own pain. Like homegirl, REALLY!? Also hated that heroine was celibate and hero was not. From previous book we know that Jackson hooks up w/ others during their separation. But they never discuss this. But the first time they screw, he didn't even use a condom with Everly.
The grovel was weak after all Jackson put Everly through. She should have just stayed single. Because EVERY guy in this book ends up hurting & betraying her.

STRONG LANGUAGE PROCEED WITH CAUTION. I'm sorry, mom.
"If I read one more sentence about a magical pussy, I'll riot." -me.
so this book had its ups and downs. I would say ups and clinical handicaps is more like it. And it did make me question if '23' is too old of an age to read 'high school romances'. No offence to the high schoolers reading this review and teenagers in general. You guys rock! Also Why are you here? This book has too many sex scenes. Stay away!
the Clinical Handicaps:
Everyone is a psychopath!
Did you know that there is a chance that one person out of a 100 people is a psychopath? Now in this book you would have to multiply that by.....idk, like: a 100! Because everyone is a psychopath. okay except for like, one baby and a dog. Other than that, yup everyone else. *We already knew cats are borderline anti-social so I didn't mention them*
The main character
Our main character Everly more like Every-one is trying to kill/fuck me-ly. Her father kinda committed a crime where he stole a lot of money from their town. And everyone hates her for it, like EVERYONE. I swear I thought her dad was kim jung eun at this point. Honestly, I wouldn't even hate kim jung eun's daughter if she disagreed with her father. So I don't know why no one tried to defend Everly.
Even grown adults treat her like trash and I just wanted to scream: "THIS IS NOT MIDDLE SCHOOL, YOU NEED TO GET A BRAIN!"
Now you would think that since everyone hates her. She'll be lonely. No, cause everyone is trying to fuck her as well. And you might wonder: WHY? is it her shining personality? is it her looks? No, unfortunately she has 'magical pussy' syndrome. And the symptoms of this disease is that every dude will do anything to get it on with her. From kidnap to premeditated murder.
Now, I have to say I've never been insanely hot, but I'm lead to believe that a lot of dudes have hobbies outside of dancing the devil's tango so...Or maybe this never happened to me cause I'm a potato who is average-looking and for that I'm so grateful. If you are too hot to handle please tell me is this actually true. Is everyone trying to fuck you?
Every girl is horny for our Male MC
We move to our next rare disease the 'Hot Dude' syndrome which is even more bamboozling cause I know the female gender. But every girl is throwing herself at Jackson like he's a chocolate cake with period-pain reliving pills on the side *no offence to the chocolate cake* Even though he doesn't give them any semblance of attention.
If any hot dude is reading this, please give us your secret wise one!
Female/female hatred
Which is honestly not that prominent in the book but it still surprises me that people think that girls hate other girls for liking the same dude. Except maybe in middle school other than that, it doesn't really happen. If you like the same dude as me: I would just give you a high five and we can have some coffee and talk shit about him. Why would I hate someone who has the same taste as me. Also girl friends don't usually have the same taste in men.
This is more like a rant out of nowhere not really about the book cause I understand what the author was trying to do. Writing about a mean girl who hates the female MC because of a dude. It did help move the plot in a way.
The I hate him but I can't resist him trope
I understand hating someone and being attracted to them physically. *Honestly I don't* But this was so exaggerated that it seemed like a mental illness. Everly would go from wanting to kill Jackson to fucking him, faster than me saying the word: 'Bazinga'. Even though she thought he was doing some horrible shit to her. Allegedly. She still couldn't keep herself from doing 'bam wam thank you mam' with him. Every 2 pages. I swear the amount of sex scenes I was skipping made me think I was reading fifty shades of grey.
The villain of the story
I swear he was crazy for no reason. And I understand that psychopaths don't always have reasons. But it was like he went to crazy town without even an invitation. He went from 'charming prince' to 'panty stealer' in a flash. I feel like you would have to think about your life choices before stealing panties but what do I know? And everything was also his fault. It was like a natural disaster would happen and the writer would be like: 'well there he goes again with his scheming!'
The Good Side
Female friendship
Okay, I did say, everyone hates Everly except for one baby and a dog. Well that baby's name is Lane. And she's the friend I wish I had *No offense to my friends. they're in fact hella nice* But I really like that she was always trying to give advice about how Everly should leave bad boyfriends in the dust. Which is literally half of the conversations I have with most of my friends. And always trying to give her a makeover which what my friends are forcing me to do, like every month. And she sticks by her side even if it means ditching the male gender behind which is the embodiment of sisters before misters. Yaayy!
The mystery
In the first book one of the brothers is in a coma and we don't know why? and then weird shit happens and we still have no clue. But it did keep me on my toes at least the first book and at the end of the second one.
The writing
The first book was cheesy as hell. But the writing gets better in the second book and I'm honestly kinda proud of the author for doing that.
Jackson
Especially at the end of the second book he became decently sweet. And honestly I'm a sucker for sweet bad boys.
Honestly, I think I was maybe a little too old for this. But I also think this was more unrealistic than game of thrones based on the way everyone was basically a psychopath/sociopath and wanted to fuck Everly. But I do think it was an addicting read. If you're looking for a really cheesy 'we're meant for each other' kinda romance. Try it out. I won't stop you. Just be careful.
Thank you for reading this review and I hope you'll have a good day
Ps: If anyone reads this recommend me some bad boy romance, please.

What an amazing ending this is to C.R. Jane's Broken Heart Academy duet!! I'm so much in love with Jackson, the heartbreak prince, the anti-hero who needed a lot of time to finally come to terms with who he is, and more importantly, who he wants. But what a guy he is once he comes to terms with what his heart already knew from a very young age.
As for Everly... I did struggle a bit with her. She's been through hell and had to work her way back broken, heartbroken, and alone. Yet, it almost feels like she's not taking it serious. I guess I had hoped that Everly would grab her ovaries and woman up a bit more, instead of always being the victim. I'm not a fan of cheating and I would have loved for Everly to take control of that aspect of her life. Especially considering the manipulation she'd been victim of, I would have wished she'd want to treat others better and with full honesty.
I did love the ending and I think it was the right call to have it like that. But I do wish there had been more followup with the people around them. Namely Everly's BFF and Jackson & Caiden's parents.
However, this is 100% a personal preference and it does not mean that I'm not loving the writing. C.R. Jane has a knack for words and she always manages to disprove the saying: "sticks and stones might break my bones, but words shall never hurt me. C.R. Jane's words hurt in the best of ways!!

4.5⭐
Wow, so many emotions. This was quite the ending to an awesome duet.
Sadness, steam, heartbreak, light and darkness. It was everything.
So many people tried to keep Jackson and Everly apart, but love had to prevail. Jackson was swoon worthy, too bad he didn't want to listen to her at the hospital though. Would have saved them a lot of heartache. He had always loved her, but thought the mistakes had all been hers so he punished her for that.
I didn't like Caiden, even though he was the golden boy... to his parents and the community. After the coma he played like he didn't remember the night that changed everything. No one realized just how twisted he was. My heart broke that he felt that was the only way though. His "love" for her consumed him fully.
This story was a good one!

WOW!
Wow wow wow!
Give me a minute to get myself together. What a rollercoaster of emotions!
The first 50% of this book destroyed me. The last 20% killed me!
This book took such a turn that I did not expect. Heartbreak Prince destroyed me and left me in such a shock, that the minute Heartbreak Lover landed on my kindle, I stopped everything and dove straight in. From the very first page I was hooked. It had me feeling so many different emotions and I could not put it down.
Jackson. Swoooooooon. Although I struggled to forgive him for how he treated Everly, he definitely wormed his way in to my heart with his heartfelt declarations and he did what he had to do to protect and look after Everly. Their connecting is undeniable. The sexual tension and chemistry is explosive which made the scenes together so incredibly hot!
Caiden!! Holy crap. I was still recovering from the shocks in Heartbreak Prince when we started to uncover the REAL Caiden. That was nothing compared to complete sociopath we get to see in Heartbreak Lover. There was a small part of me... and you will know the moment when you read it, that I felt really sorry for Caiden. Why he was the way he was, is a question that I will continuously ask myself.
That ending had me crying my little eyes out. It was intense and tragically heartbreaking. But then you read the epilogue that was so beautiful that it had me crying for a whole other reason.
This was one insanely good duet that you will be unable to put down.

I think I had a few heart attacks in this book. I felt so much pain and sadness. I was scared for Everly and Jackson. I screamed at Caiden. My heartbroke for Caiden the most i think. Even when he is all psycho crazy and kidnaping Everly i just felt so bad for him. He just wanted her to love him and he couldn't get over the fact she loved his twin. If he wasn't so obsessed with Everly i think he would have been a great boyfriend. But Everly loved Jackson with everything she had. He was her heart and she was his soul. And even when life kept throwing things at them. They kept finding each other. She really is the light in his darkness and I was kinda surprised he didn't go black a few more times. But he pulled out of them for her. And i was so glad there was this great epilogue about how happy they finally are after everything. It was an beautiful, heartbreaking book and i would give it 10000 stars if i could.

I’ve been dying to get my hands on this book, the second book in the Broken Hearts Academy duet. Because unbeknown to me and thanks to one of my book friends, I read the first one not knowing it ends in a cliff hanger. YEP, and not like a ‘ah okay’ cliff hanger, it was an angsty omg WHAT kinda cliff hanger that had my heart beating in my chest. If you haven’t read the first book Heartbreak Prince go nose at the blurb right now, you shouldn’t be here 🤭
Book two kicks off right where book one leaves us hanging, the angst and emotion blatant from the first page. CR Jane said her inspiration for this book was Taylor Swifts song sad, beautiful, tragic. It was that and more. I couldn’t have asked for the conclusion to this duet to be any better because this book? I couldn’t put it down.
And that epilogue?! Ohhhh, my heart 🥺🖤

4.5 ⭐️ “I think I’m doomed to love you even after I die, but maybe after death, it won’t hurt so much to do it”
OMG WHAT A CONCLUSION! 😍 I finished book 1 Heartbreak Prince at 3pm and literally moved straight on to Heartbreak Lover it’s now 8pm and I am so glad I did!!
This book was such an epic follow up to book one and I loved that it felt like you could not trust a single character! There were so many twists and turns and the romance was so all over the place in a good way! One minute it was angsty, then cute, then heartbreaking and I just loved it!
Do yourself a favour and just read this duet 🖤

“You look like pure sin wrapped in an angelic package, ”
after the unexpected twist in Heartbreak Prince, I'm genuinely terrified for Everly's safety, and I'm right because most of this book she's either in danger or nearly killed. I'm also not on board of the way she acts impulsively and recklessly, her decision makings were unquestionable for me. I'll tell you what this girl has a read the warning signs, Danger Zone & Keep Out! danger beats Jackson for liking her too much.
“Is there something wrong with me? Am I just doomed for bad shit to happen to me over and over again?”
I'm just sad how everything turns out, especially for Caiden. Loves do make you crazy knowing that the person you once loved change before your very eyes and you can't do something about it. it's tragic and heartbreaking.
Caiden’s version of love had become so disfigured that I didn’t know what you could call it anymore.

I did not like this book. I hate leaving such negative reviews, but I absolutely hated the heroine. She was weak, pathetic and never did ANYTHING to help herself. How does one person have such bad luck that EVERYONE around her is either a psychopath or a sociopath. I will not be reading anything else from this author

I finished reading this book at 3:00 a.m. this morning. It has taken me the entire day to gather my thoughts and get my blood pressure back to normal before writing this review.
I LOVE words. There is nothing better than getting lost in a book that consumes your every being from the very beginning. That's what Heartbreak Lover did to me. This book sucked me in so deep into the story that at times I had to pause and take a deep breath in order to calm my anxiety because HOLY SHIT!!!!
Heartbreak Lover picks upright where Heartbreak Prince ended. Now that Jackson, Everly and Caiden, find themselves back in the same place (same school) the relationship between the three become even more complex than it had been. There was so much darkness and toxicity surrounding them all, especially Everly. Not only did she have to deal with her own demons, she now had to worry about the demons in disguise that continued to haunt her.
Poor Everly could not catch a break. My heart broke for her. Everyone appeared to be after her just for being who she was. Everly was a fighter, but no matter how hard she fought, she couldn't control her feelings for Jackson. Jackson was just as weak when it came to fighting his own emotions for Everly. The two of them existed for one another. Everly was the light that guided Jackson out of his darkness. Jackson would stop at nothing to get Everly -
Heartbreak Lover is so much more than a Bully Romance. With heavy topics such as violence and abuse, it showcases the many different layers of mental illnesses. C.R. Jane delivered a complex, twisted, angsty, emotionally charged conclusion to this duet. I loved every second of it, especially the beautiful Epilogue that made me cry. This is definitely a top 2020 book for me.
"No one wants to believe in monsters, but I've seen firsthand that they exist."
Have you ever sat in the dark and made friends with your sins?"
My mother's been an addict her whole life. Whether it was my father, popularity, money, or alcohol.
And I used to think she was weak.
But then I got a taste of you and now I think I understand her a little bit more than before."
I LOVE words. There is nothing better than getting lost in a book that consumes your every being from the very beginning. That's what Heartbreak Lover did to me. This book sucked me in so deep into the story that at times I had to pause and take a deep breath in order to calm my anxiety because HOLY SHIT!!!!

"Because one thing was for sure. I loved my bother more than I loved myself. But I loved Everly James even more."Now let's talk about Caiden. In Heartbreak Prince, we began getting glimpses as to who Caiden really was, but let me tell you - NONE and I mean NONE of those glimpses can even begin to cover the surface of who that crazy motherfucker really is. (I swear I'm getting anxiety all over again just typing this). You have got to be a special type of fucked up to go to the extremes that he did. Caiden was a damn sociopath who didn't care who he destroyed along the way. I never liked him. NEVER! There is so much I want to say about this, but I'm going to stop. I don't want to say too much and ruin any misconceptions or predictions for anyone else. All I'll say is that THIS BOOK IS GOING TO TEAR YOU APART IN SO MANY PIECES.

Halfway in the story took a detour into Crazytown. And the scene in the flower field was an eyeroll fest.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS
I cried because those eyes of his told me that Jackson Parker loved me.
I cried because it was too late.
'HeartBreak Lover' Is the second part of the HeartBreak duet by the best selling author C.R. James. Told in dual perspectives, this was one Raw bully Romance!
After reading the first book of this duet and that amazing cliffhanger , this book was one of my most anticipated reads! The plot was perfect and I loved the way the author Manipulated the storyline to make me feel every emotion the characters were feeling!
I do it all the time.
There’s only one real sin that I need atonement for though.
And I gave up trying to gain my penitence for her a long time ago.
At first I thought this was going to be a regular bully romance , but it was so much more! I am truly shocked at how quickly this series became one of my most recommended ones. Jackson and Everly are in a league of their own and I loved every word that I had the pleasure of reading from their story! These two finally got their happily ever after and I couldn't be more glad!
The story continues from where the first book ended. Caiden is finally awake from his two year long Coma and Everly is terrified what this is going to do to her relationship with Jackson. Jackson on the other hand is torn between being happy about his brother being alright and also being sad about him still loving Everly. Caiden's character threw me in for a surprise. That twist was unexpected and so amazing!
This book was a perfect read for all the bully Romance lovers! Want to read a tale about a girl being stuck between two Twin brothers , then go for this book! It's absolutely mind-blowing!
It started to beat again.
And it beat just for him.

Gah what happened?
Like the story and even the main FMC and MMC. But, Caiden? Love him even tho he's cray cray. Wish there could have been a spin off where he finds someone as crazy as him and all that... but yeah. Okay, this works too! Just saying!

June 7, 2024recensione a cura del blog “Libri Magnetici" by El
Avere il cuore spezzato era come una malattia. Il dolore si impossessava di ogni parte di te e, se eri abbastanza fortunato da riprenderti, non eri più la stessa persona di prima. Proprio come il mio corpo non era più riconoscibile dopo l’incidente di quella notte con suo fratello, anche la mia anima si era trasformata in qualcosa che non riconoscevo più dopo la fine di ciò che c’era stato tra me e Jackson.
Siamo tornati alla Rutherford Academy cari Magnetici, e se siete qui posso solo dare per scontato che abbiate letto il primo volume di questa dilogia. Sapete dunque che abbiamo lasciato Everly sul ciglio dell’ennesimo precipizio, pronta a scivolare giù in un vortice di disperazione. Jackson sembra odiarla, in un tedioso tira e molla che la confonde e al tempo stesso terrorizza, mentre la notizia inaspettata del risveglio di Caiden dal coma durato due anni giunge come un fulmine a squarciare un cielo già poco sereno. Se nel primo romanzo i richiami al passato sono frequenti e utili per spiegare il rapporto che la lega fin da piccola ai due facoltosi gemelli, adesso l’azione è concentrata sul presente. Everly è abituata a muoversi come un fantasma cercando di rendersi invisibile, ma, per una serie di sfortunati eventi, questo pare impossibile; attira antipatie da parte delle donne e gli sguardi languidi degli uomini, professori compresi, e sembra sempre circondata da un’aura di paura che la rende un facile bersaglio per scherzi e cattiverie. Lontana dalla protezione fittizia che il rapporto con i gemelli le offriva, e da quel mondo superficiale e dorato cui altrimenti non sarebbe mai appartenuta, può contare solo sulle sue forze per sopravvivere al college. Retaggio dell’incidente in cui ha quasi perso la vita sono le cicatrici visibili e un enorme senso di sfiducia nei confronti del prossimo; il fatto poi che colui che ha sempre considerato il suo Sole, Jackson, continui a credere alla versione propinatagli dal gemello, non fa che aumentare il senso di perdita e disperazione di cui si nutre in modo consapevole e continuo.
Ero danneggiata, uno specchio rotto in un milione di pezzi.
Everly è cosciente di cosa compone la sua anima e sa altrettanto bene che probabilmente non vi sarà speranza di redenzione alcuna accanto a una persona all’apparenza normale. Non è un caso che i due uomini della sua vita celino in se stessi ombre e psicosi di non poco conto. Gli elementi per un dark romance fanno capolino, se non tutti almeno in parte, ma purtroppo il risultato è ambiguo; per quanto ami i generi definiti, ma anche quelli indefiniti se sfidanti e scritti bene, in questo caso ammetto di essere rimasta abbastanza perplessa. Voglio essere molto chiara perché è più facile produrre recensioni non del tutto positive piuttosto che scrivere di libri che ci hanno strappato qualcosa per poi rimetterlo al posto dove deve stare; per questo, ma non solo, voglio dettagliare le mie motivazioni in modo da non lasciar adito a fraintendimenti.
In potenza la storia c’è. Due fratelli salvano una ragazzina praticamente orfana e le aprono un mondo dorato dove la amano e la rispettano, fino a quando gli scherzi dell’infanzia si trasformano in qualcosa di più e pretendono, in un modo o nell’altro, di prendersi l’oggetto del loro desiderio con l’ausilio poco edificante di inganni e sensi di colpa. E se come Georgie anche Everly ben presto smette di “correre felice sul prato nel suo bel mondo che pare fatato”, Jackson e Caiden, moderni Abel e Arthur, al pari di Caino e Abele si contendono il frutto proibito, mentre scivolano nelle proprie ossessioni. Perché sostengo che la storia potenzialmente esiste? Immaginate cosa avrebbe potuto venir fuori da questa triade dove c’è un contenzioso in odore di sangue, un legame tra gemelli da sviscerare con tutte le sfumature che caratterizzano questo tipo di rapporto, le fissazioni che avrebbero potuto sconvolgere i loro sentimenti, insieme al dolore della perdita e alla consapevolezza di una scelta necessaria, o non necessaria se il ménage à trois fosse stato contemplato. Questa storia avrebbe potuto svilupparsi in milioni di sviluppi narrativi differenti, risultare tragica, spudoratamente sensuale o diabolica, ma purtroppo non è niente di tutto questo. E quando passi metà del tempo a pensare a come avresti riscritto una scena se non un intero capitolo, comprenderete che il piacere della lettura vada felicemente a farsi benedire. Ma andiamo con ordine perché ci tengo che capiate quello che voglio dire, sempre per i motivi di cui sopra, e iniziamo dunque con Everly. Tralasciando la mia naturale antipatia per la maggior parte delle protagoniste femminili, mea culpa, voglio sforzarmi di essere obiettiva. Everly è una diciannovenne sopravvissuta a quanto di più terribile possa capitare; il padre si è suicidato dopo aver truffato mezza città, la madre si è rifugiata nell’alcool, rinasce a nuova vita solo quando conosce i gemelli, è all’università grazie a una borsa di studio, ma è incerta sulla strada da seguire. Tra quelle mura spera di poter ricominciare dopo l’inferno che ha passato con Caiden, che l’ha massacrata di botte la notte dell’incidente prima di schiantarsi con la macchina, ma finisce per incrociare la strada dell’altra nemesi che, sempre da quella fatidica notte, la guarda con odio, Jackson. Everly è l’apoteosi dell’impotente rassegnazione e del segreto custodito a ogni costo, anche se svelarlo potrebbe portarle un po’ di pace se non la completa assoluzione da parte di colui che ama. Si immola sul patibolo dell’autoflagellazione e ne gode, tagliandosi con quelle stesse lame che altri le hanno messo in mano e senza le quali forse non avrebbe nemmeno più alcuna coscienza di sé. E anche qui, in potenza, il materiale per farne uscire un personaggio vero, distrutto, capace a trecentosessanta gradi di ispirarti odio o amore, ci sarebbe, ma risulta talmente tiepido e piatto da lasciare in bocca un sapore insipido, laddove avrei preferito l’amaro. Il rapporto tra vittima e carnefici non ha spessore ed Everly piange con la stessa facilità con cui si ferisce, passando la metà del tempo con un trauma cranico che purtroppo non le serve per svegliarsi dal limbo di ottusa ignoranza che la blocca sui suoi passi. In breve, non suscita né rabbia né tenerezza, classificandosi come mediocre mediano in una squadra dove speri di trovare due punte di diamante che finiscono per rivelarsi, anche loro purtroppo, pallidi zirconi. Jackson e Caiden avrebbero davvero potuto essere magistralmente cattivi e feroci. Siamo abituate ai villain che non prendono ostaggi, mai, ma fanno solo vittime, spietati carnefici spesso avvolti da spire psicotiche e devianti. Sarà che prima di questo volume avevo appena finito una quadrilogia abbastanza intensa dove i cattivi, vi cito solo Damon Torrance, non temevano in alcun modo le reazioni del pubblico per le loro scelte prive di morale, ma questi due hanno deluso le mie aspettative come pochi altri. Caiden è oscuro, punto. Jackson è malato, altro punto. Questo giustifica tutto, senza approfondire niente. Che cosa c’è nella testa di Caiden? Quando un sentimento poco più che fanciullesco si è trasformato in un’ossessione violenta che lo ha spinto a compiere gesti estremi fino alla fine? E soprattutto, perché questo percorso di discesa negli inferi non è stato sviscerato, non ci sono stati svelati i retroscena delle macchie che si sono fatte sempre più larghe e scure, come pozze di sangue da cui una Lady Machbet annichilita si erge in tutta la sua bellezza strofinandosi le mani per lavarle via? Non ci sono, Amici Magnetici, ecco la verità. Quindi abbiamo un Caiden dolce e poi violento nel primo volume, in coma e risorto nel secondo, il tutto condito con un’occhiata maliziosa e frettolosa a qualche manuale di psicologia e molti luoghi comuni; la donna è ridotta a mero oggetto del desiderio che, se insoddisfatto, culmina nella scelta sempre troppo comoda del “o mia o di nessun altro, quindi muori pure”. Caiden manca dello spessore che speriamo di trovare in Jackson che, per stessa ammissione della protagonista, tanto vicino al Sole davvero non è nonostante l’aspetto angelico.
Ma forse era proprio così che doveva andare. Jackson doveva avere qualcosa che guastava la sua dorata perfezione perché io potessi stare con lui. Avevo sempre sofferto sotto le cicatrici che mi ricoprivano l’anima. Avevo bisogno di qualcuno che fosse ugualmente danneggiato.
Ed è ovviamente con lui che le mie speranze riposte fin dal principio si sono infrante contro il muro della disillusione. Jackson è la star del campus, bellissimo, sportivo, con una carriera promettente davanti a sé e una famiglia alle spalle che vuole nascondere quel piccolo neo del bipolarismo di cui solo un numero limitato di persone, tra cui Everly, è a conoscenza. Vuole bene e odia al contempo il fratello che da due anni giace in un letto d’ospedale, e per questa lacerazione incolpa colei che ama fin da piccolo, la stessa che il gemello gli ha detto essersi concessa a lui nonostante prove inconfutabili a dimostrazione del contrario. Jackson, che doveva essere il cattivo e dunque intelligente per antonomasia, viene raggirato sin dal principio dall’angelico Caiden, che ha un’anima più torbida del fango e che non ha fatto altro che costruire, anche durante il coma, una rete di menzogne che hanno reso la vita di Everly un inferno. È dunque un ragazzino, e magari ricordiamocelo che i protagonisti sono solo ventenni, cui sono consegnate chiavi troppo pesanti per trovare la giusta serratura dell’interpretazione della storia. Jackson è allo sbando, vittima di episodi psicotici terribili in cui perde il contatto con la realtà, come già abbiamo avuto modo di leggere nel primo volume. Da lui mi sarei aspettata violenza gratuita, sangue tra le mani e superbia, nello stile del vero demone dei bully romance (per certi aspetti questo romanzo ricade nel genere), che perde però ben presto sia smalto che lucidità quando si incanta a guardare Everly. Non lo accetto questo voltafaccia alla crudeltà, amici Magnetici, perché posso soprassedere su molto, ma non sulla coerenza del personaggio che, laddove mancante, contribuisce al crollo di un castello fatto di carte scolorite. Quindi cosa dirvi ancora? Se avete letto il primo, non potete non leggere il secondo, anche solo per sapere cosa succede quando Caiden si risveglia dal coma. Ammetterà i suoi sbagli? Saprà perdonare se stesso? Everly e Jakson avranno una possibilità o ancora una volta il gemello sbagliato si intrometterà nel loro rapporto, rischiando di far morire un sentimento che ha bisogno di essere curato per poter crescere fino a esplodere? Ai posteri l’ardua sentenza, o forse semplicemente al lettore paziente, che deve prendere queste mie righe come un commento del tutto personale e non oro colato, ricordando sempre che l’amore per la lettura deve venire prima di ogni cosa mentre gli sproloqui di una recensione oggi sono buoni per riderci su, ma domani, di certo, non se li ricorda più nessuno.
«Credo di essere condannato ad amarti anche dopo la morte,» mi sussurrò al buio, l’unico momento in cui sembrava volermi rivelare i suoi segreti. «Ma forse dopo la morte non farà così male,» risposi. E restammo così, nessuno dei due si mosse fino al mattino.

"I don’t want you to feel bad about what happened with Landry, Everly. Or think that you acted a certain way that made him do that to you".
“It’s not anything you do, Everly. There’s just something about you that drives a man to madness. Landry would have never had his fill of you…just like I haven’t. You’re irreplaceable. A man would have to die to ever escape your lure.”
Yeaaaahhhh....NO.
THE TOXICITY IS SUFFOCATING!!!

La lettrice inquieta - per RFS
.
Se non avete letto il primo libro di questa serie, vi consiglio vivamente di non procedere alla lettura del secondo. Non perché non sia comprensibile quello che è accaduto ai nostri protagonisti ma, semplicemente, perché il primo volume permette al lettore di entrare a pieno nella storia, non solo attraverso il racconto ma soprattutto attraverso i sentimenti.
Heartbreak Lover di C.R. Jane ci porta, nuovamente, nella vita di Everly, una ragazza che sembra condannata a ripetere gli stessi schemi di relazioni sfortunate. La sua fragilità e l’incapacità di riconoscere i segnali d’allarme la portano ad attrarre come api al miele uomini con un animo oscuro e violento, compromettendo la sua sicurezza e il suo benessere emotivo. La storia inizia con un flashback che ce la mostra alle prese con le conseguenze di un incidente d’auto causato da Caiden, il suo ex fidanzato. Ferita e traumatizzata cerca di ricominciare la sua vita. Everly, Caiden e Jackson sono i tre protagonisti. I due ragazzi sono gemelli, apparentemente uniti da quel legame indissolubile proprio della loro condizione alla nascita, ricchi, belli e innamorati della stessa persona: Everly.
Lei non ha un passato facile, il “vissero felici e contenti” sembra essere impossibile per la sua storia familiare fatta di maltrattamenti e delusioni. Bullizzata dal gruppo, a causa delle sue origini, trova nei due fratelli la sua ancora di salvezza, quella luce in fondo al tunnel che non la fa affondare ma la tiene a galla e le permette di vivere una vita normale.
La loro relazione si sviluppa in un crescendo di tensione, dove l’amore si mescola alla gelosia, all’ossessione e al possesso. Caiden, apparentemente il più gentile e premuroso dei due, si rivela essere un manipolatore violento, che controlla l’amica con il terrore e l’intimidazione. Jackson, invece, nonostante il suo carattere e i problemi mentali, è l’unico a proteggerla e ad amarla con tutto se stesso.
“Come puoi guardarmi così?” “Così come?” “Come se fossi tutto.” Sorrise appena. “Oh, piccola, è facile. Sei la cosa più bella che abbia mai conosciuto. Non riesco a guardarti in altro modo.” Jackson mi amava
Il romanzo è un vortice di relazioni tossiche e scelte sbagliate. Everly, sebbene abbia vissuto numerose esperienze negative, sembra incapace di riconoscere i pericoli che la circondano e continua ad attrarre uomini che la feriscono e la manipolano. La sua fragilità e la sua bassa autostima la rendono vulnerabile alle loro attenzioni, e la sua incapacità di discernere tra amore e ossessione la porta a essere vittima degli eventi.
L’autrice descrive con abilità la psicologia della protagonista, mettendo in luce le sue debolezze e le sue paure. La ragazza è vittima di un ciclo di dipendenza affettiva che la spinge a cercare conforto in relazioni sbagliate, incapaci di darle il sostegno e l’amore di cui ha bisogno.
Heartbreak Lover è un romanzo crudo e realistico che ci porta a riflettere sulle relazioni tossiche e sulla difficoltà di uscirne. La storia di Everly potrebbe essere un monito per tutte le donne che si ritrovano invischiate in relazioni simili, un invito a imparare a riconoscere i segnali d’allarme e a cercare aiuto per uscire da queste situazioni pericolose.
Il romanzo si sviluppa attraverso i punti di vista di Everly e Jackson, alternando le loro prospettive e creando un coinvolgente intreccio narrativo. Questa scelta permette al lettore di immergersi completamente nella storia, vivendo le vicende e le emozioni di entrambi i protagonisti.
L’autrice utilizza una struttura lineare, con una trama mai piatta o prevedibile, grazie a numerosi colpi di scena e momenti di tensione che tengono il lettore con il fiato sospeso.
Dimostra inoltre grande abilità nel costruire la suspense e nel dosare le informazioni, rivelando con gradualità i dettagli del passato dei protagonisti e le dinamiche delle loro relazioni. Questo stile mantiene il lettore costantemente incollato alle pagine, desideroso di scoprire come si evolverà la storia.
C.R. Jane, con una scrittura fluida e coinvolgente, ci porta a scavare a fondo nella psiche dei personaggi, svelando le loro debolezze e le loro paure. Emerge così un ritratto complesso e sfumato, dove chi sembra essere il carnefice in realtà nasconde una profonda fragilità e chi invece sembra essere un angelo nasconde dentro di sé il vero mostro.
Tuttavia, la caratterizzazione di Everly può risultare frustrante per alcuni lettori, che potrebbero desiderare vederla prendere decisioni più sagge e responsabili.
Heartbreak Lover è un libro che non lascia indifferenti. Una storia che ci spinge a riflettere sui lati oscuri dell’amore, sulla violenza che può nascondersi dietro le maschere più innocenti e sulla forza che serve per spezzare le catene dell’abuso. Non una semplice storia d’amore ma una lettura intensa e profonda, che non ha paura di affrontare temi delicati e di scavare nelle pieghe più recondite dell’animo umano.

Se non avete letto il primo libro di questa serie, vi consiglio vivamente di non procedere alla lettura del secondo. Non perché non sia comprensibile quello che è accaduto ai nostri protagonisti ma, semplicemente, perché il primo volume permette al lettore di entrare a pieno nella storia, non solo attraverso il racconto ma soprattutto attraverso i sentimenti.
Heartbreak Lover di C.R. Jane ci porta, nuovamente, nella vita di Everly, una ragazza che sembra condannata a ripetere gli stessi schemi di relazioni sfortunate. La sua fragilità e l’incapacità di riconoscere i segnali d’allarme la portano ad attrarre come api al miele uomini con un animo oscuro e violento, compromettendo la sua sicurezza e il suo benessere emotivo. La storia inizia con un flashback che ce la mostra alle prese con le conseguenze di un incidente d’auto causato da Caiden, il suo ex fidanzato. Ferita e traumatizzata cerca di ricominciare la sua vita. Everly, Caiden e Jackson sono i tre protagonisti. I due ragazzi sono gemelli, apparentemente uniti da quel legame indissolubile proprio della loro condizione alla nascita, ricchi, belli e innamorati della stessa persona: Everly.
Lei non ha un passato facile, il “vissero felici e contenti” sembra essere impossibile per la sua storia familiare fatta di maltrattamenti e delusioni. Bullizzata dal gruppo, a causa delle sue origini, trova nei due fratelli la sua ancora di salvezza, quella luce in fondo al tunnel che non la fa affondare ma la tiene a galla e le permette di vivere una vita normale.
La loro relazione si sviluppa in un crescendo di tensione, dove l’amore si mescola alla gelosia, all’ossessione e al possesso. Caiden, apparentemente il più gentile e premuroso dei due, si rivela essere un manipolatore violento, che controlla l’amica con il terrore e l’intimidazione. Jackson, invece, nonostante il suo carattere e i problemi mentali, è l’unico a proteggerla e ad amarla con tutto se stesso.
“Come puoi guardarmi così?” “Così come?” “Come se fossi tutto.” Sorrise appena. “Oh, piccola, è facile. Sei la cosa più bella che abbia mai conosciuto. Non riesco a guardarti in altro modo.” Jackson mi amava

Hauntingly beautiful
I have never stalked the reaction to a book so hard in my life, I’m crazy about it. I’m only halfway joking… I’m not really crazy. Not like some of the guys in this book. But for real, I feel a deep connection to this book. It’s almost like I spent every day for weeks reading over the authors words as she wrote them. I feel like I was immersed in Everly’s life and felt every emotion she did. Thinking back I can’t come up with a single emotion I didn’t have while reading this book.
Without fail the author had me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath in anticipation of what would happen in the story next. I was able to guess some plot points but some came as a complete and total shock. For example, the extent of the crazy some of the characters in this book displayed. If I ever visit that town I'll be sure to bring my own water because I sure don’t want whatever they have!
At points I found myself wishing Caiden could be the sweet boy she grew up with. I wanted him to be redeemable so Everly wouldn’t have to experience even more heartbreak over him not being the person she thought he was. But then I would remember how the first book ended and then a fiery rage would consume my body and then I just wanted Caiden to… well… I wanted him to do what he did in the end… Gasp I’m truly a horrible person for saying that. Oh well… And honestly, that was the perfect ending for this story!
Chapter 17 has to be one of my all time favorites that the author has written. And let me tell you how deliciously steamy it was!!! I have always had a huge love for wildflowers but this author has now given me two amazing series to think about every time I see them. The epilogue was also something that will stick with me. Some of those lines are just haunting and have seared themselves into my soul.
Jackson and Everly 100% belong together. We joke about making guys from books our book boyfriends but I honestly can say I haven’t once tried to claim Jackson for my own. I can’t imagine a world where he wouldn’t always belong to Everly completely. I had moments where I was terrified they wouldn’t achieve their HEA, I had to remind myself that C.R. believes in them and I needed to keep going. Lol

This book was something else!
Caiden is awake!!!! Jackson has it cut it out for him if he wants to keep Everly for himself and she is going to work hard to keep both of them away from her, specially because she can’t keep away from Jackson there is always a pull towards him.
Caiden says he doesn’t remember what happened in the past and Jackson is having trouble who to believe until he steals Everly’s journals and finds the truth about what went down with her and Caiden.
Someone is still out to get her and even thought I still don’t like how she acts towards some situations she always accepts the help when she needs it and I like that about her and the fact that she does get a bit more of a backbone and says no to Caiden because she can feel something is not right with him, like he is pretending.
Poor girl was always at the hospital in reality that got a bit of exasperating for me like can you please just stay in one place and not move!! 😆 but not in a way that stops you of reading the book just like “Jackson darling just tie her up in your place and not let her go anywhere!!” 🤣 It’s a good entertaining read you won’t be able to put it down.

"𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞. 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞."
The actual story started in this book. In the first book, it's mostly the poetic past but you can actually see the true nature of each character in this book. And by that I mean the true nature of Caiden. The character of Caiden is more well portrayed in this book and his ending was just oh lorddddd.
Jackson and Everly as usual had their amazing chemistry. I loved the character of Jackson and how he never wanted to give into his sickness because of Everly and how Everly never truly let go of her first love.
Caiden had a well - needed ending but it has to be said that Caiden needed help. If their parents didn't treat him as a golden child, they would've noticed he wasn't normal and actually listened to Jackson.
But the forgiveness Everly and Jackson portray gave a true ending to the book.

‘Ma solo perché il principe dei cuori spezzati non aveva mai provato a dare a qualcuno il proprio cuore. Quel bacio, quel bacio perfetto… fece ciò che le sue parole non potevano fare. E il mio cuore infranto, quello che pensavo non potesse mai essere riparato? Ricominciò a battere. E batteva solo per lui.’
Everly Jackson e Caiden 👑💔continua il triangolo ma siamo arrivati alla resa dei conti, alla verità. Caiden, il gemello buono, torna per creare scompiglio ma è Jackson che deve fare mea culpa e riconquistare la ormai delusa Everly.
Ne succedono di ogni, forse troppo ed è sempre Everly a pagare, la lettura è scorrevole e non ci sono colpi di scena perché è andata come doveva andare😉poca introspezione e una trama fitta di complicazioni, mi è piaciuto ma non ai massimi livelli.
💋a breve la mia recensione sul blog New Adult e dintorni💋

I was SO confused trying to figure out which twin was light and which one was dark in the first book. I’m still not sure which one has the light hair and which one has the dark hair. And I feel like there were lots of consistency and continuity issues.
Whatever. It doesn’t matter.
If you love drama, this series is for you. Angsty drama. Teenage drama. Crazy drama. Schoolyard drama. Family drama. Twin drama. Other man drama. Other woman drama. Just...all the drama.
I swear this series was the culmination of every dramatic scenario the author could come up with, and somehow made it work. I ain’t gonna lie; I ugly cried more than a few times.
If you don’t like over the top cliches and drama, you probably won’t like it. But if you do, I would definitely recommend this series.

This book. I feel like I’ve been waiting a lifetime.
The saga of Jackson, Everly, & Caiden is complete, and I won’t even lie and say that it didn’t break my heart, because it did.
The love that bloomed, the way the relationships grew & restructured from the despair was a beautiful thing.
I rooted for Everly, she needed a happy ending more than anyone else I could think of.
I can’t say too much, just know that the conclusion of this duet was everything I wanted while also something I didn’t want as well.
All the stars.

Heartbreak Lover
This book slayed me in the best possible way. I fell in love with these characters and in the previous book. The vulnerability of the FMC is palpable without making her sound like she's weak. Au contraire! I loved her backbone, the fight in her and ultimately the way she developed throughout the story.
This book had thrilling suspense, action and gutwrenching emotions. I was sobbing and was so completely at peace with the way this heartbreaking duet was wrapped up. The author did ALL the characters justice. It was exquisite!
