Shattered Dreams

Boys of Bellerose #3

by Jaymin Eve, Tate James

You know that saying, things can’t possibly get worse? They always can.

I thought things were bad when we got attacked in the dark of the night. In a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, with no one to help. When we lost one of the Bellerose family.

But the world wasn’t done shitting on us just yet.

Our situation only went from bad to worse as we tried to save ourselves, resulting in an explosion of heartbreak. Now we have to deal with the agonizing fallout of that fire-filled night.

Angelo Ricci--the man I severely underestimated--saved us all, but at what cost? He doesn't deserve to die for me. Not after all I’d put him through.

There’s no opportunity for grief, because the puppeteer pulling Bellerose’s strings wants the band back on tour with a brand new bass player. Like Flo never even existed.

Bellerose has been through so much already, and with gossip sites reporting on every damn breath, it’s impossible to keep our romances under wraps. Like we all needed fuel on the flames of already burning jealousy.

We need to come together, to grow stronger as a band, but with my heart so divided I’ll need some intense therapy to heal myself before I can heal all of them. Which I know I can do. I have to have hope. Because they’re the Boys of Bellerose.

Shattered Dreams is book THREE of FOUR in the Boys of Bellerose series. This is a mafia/rockstar reverse harem romance series with dark elements and gripping cliffhangers throughout. Content is intended for a mature audience.

I AM DEAD. Like WTAF am I supposed to do now until the final book releases? I don't know how Jaymin and Tate are doing it, but I swear each book in this series is even better than the previous one where I felt for sure it couldn't be topped!

Jace and Billie are killing me. I can't wait for everything to just combust between them in book 4 and I know it's gonna be steamy and emotional and I AM HERE FOR IT!!

I love all the guys. Rhett is the broken sweetheart who dotes on Billie and he makes my heart swoon. Gray is the strong, silent, fierce protector who has never wavered in his feelings for Billie. Angel has never stopped loving her and everything he did was to keep her safe. He's all smoldering mafia hotness and I'm looking forward to seeing their chemistry explode on my kindle. And then there is Jace. Man, why do I always fall for the mean assholes? Cause I do! (I might need therapy). His hurt screams at you and we all know their hate-banter and hate-sex is coming from a place of deep, deep love. I want to bash their heads together regularly and tell them to just have a big heart to heart and let it all out. But then we'd miss out on all the delicous angst of their push and pull as they try to navigate, and fight, their feelings. I know he's going to be the most lovable of all when he opens his heart and lets her fully back in. I cannot wait!

So, does anyone else badly, badly, badly, need a "before" story with Billie, Angel and Jace or is it just me? I told Jaymin I'm going to start a petition and I mean it. We need that story. I want to see them as friends turned to lovers and see them rocking it out as Snake Soup (giggling) before getting nekked and having all the threesome seggs. And then, cause I'm a masochist, I want a front row seat as it all unravels. I want to feel that pain to my core as they sacrifice themselves so he can have the career of his dreams.

In case you can't tell, I *might* be a little OBSESSED with this series. I haven't been this engaged in a series in a long time and it's definitely already added to my fave series of all time.

If you haven't picked up this series yet, DO IT NOW! You will not be sorry.

Now, I have to leave this novel of a review to actually get backing to writing MY novel. Lol.

Awesome job, ladies. Thank you for all this yummy angsty deliciousness.

What. The. Fuck. I did not see that coming y'all. Like that shit with Vee? And that ending? Wow. Fucking hell. I have no words to describe that. I mean, I sure as hell was hoping that it wouldn't come down to that but plot twists and all ig. Tbh I felt like there was A LOT going on in this book - too many things that were happening. As compared to other Tate James books that I've read, this series seems to have a shit ton of trauma dumping. Like the writers just thought, "hey why don't we take all the trauma in the world and split it up between five characters?" Fair, no? It just seemed a bit much for me ngl. I never thought I'd ever say this, but this book had too much action. Too much drama as well. Kinda ridiculous and unrealistic in some ways, but who am I to complain? I'm just here for the ride frrrrrrr. Rhett and Gray were good and I liked them. Jace was...def an improvement from the previous books, I'd say. However, I wasn't really feeling Angelo. Like he wasn't really contributing much to the harem nor the plot. It felt like he'd been thrown in just for the sake of it. Idk let's see what happens in the next book because I'm committed to finishing this series. Not one of the best RH series out there (especially Tate James standards), but since we've already established that these books are as addictive as crack, I'm looking forward to reading about these characters getting a HEA and most of all, A FUCKING BREAK in life lmao. I also feel like this series could have ended as a trilogy rather than being dragged out as a four part series. Side note: I really loved and appreciated the mental health rep in this one tho! *proceeds to scream in abandonment issues and mentally unstable*

It's been a while since a series has drawn me in like this. It has everything, a ton of tropes, suspense, darkness, and spice.

Book three starts where book two ends. I suggested buckling up. It's a wild ride with major twits. It's about past trauma being revealed, the start of healing. Relationships are starting to come back together. It’s a whirlwind of emotions.

Billie is stronger than she thinks she is. Especially after all she has gone through and continues to go through. Let's not forget her incredibly hot men.

THAT ENDING!!! It’s a doozy. Is it April yet? I need more.

[Rosie33 · Rating 3 out of 5]

3rd book in and I still don't get why the Bellerose Boys love Billie so much?? Im just not convinced in the slightest. She has no personality and most of the time is just a downright biatch. She's whingey, snarky and selfish. Am I meant to feel sorry for her because of her trauma? Well..I don't. She needs an attitude adjustment. Now, of all the boys, Angelo is my favourite hands down. Overprotective, possessive, sexy Italian. My type of guy 😉 Jace is a POS most of the time, Rhett is a golden retriever bordering a little pathetic and Grayson is a huge teddy bear ready to crawl on his hands and knees for this girl. Yep. Still don't understand why. Definitely an entertaining read with lots of drama but because the FMC is annoying and unlikeable this series just falls flat for me. Overall the series sits at 3 stars for me.

[CassDamm · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a reverse harem but you’d never know. It’s definitely more of Billie and Rhett than Billie sleeping with Rhett’s friends sometimes.
But no one really seems to care? But I care?? Idk

These freaking cliff hangers are gonna kill me!

[Jess | jadecanread · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm really upset at myself for picking this up right when it came out bECAUSE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHILE I WAIT FOR THE LAST BOOK TO COME OUT APRIL 4TH. THAT'S A MONTH AWAY.

This series is crack and I'm an addict; I need my next hit now.

So there's more of the same in this: we find out crumbs about Billie's past, the push/pull between Jace and her continues, and Billie gets more orgasms than you can count.

There's shocking reveal in the middle of this that had me reeling and then the cliffhanger I saw coming but doesn't mean I'm happy about it lol.

I feel like there's SO MANY players introduced and I don't know how everything is going to get resolved in the last book. It better be a massive one if I'm going to have to wait ;_;

Rating 3.5 rounded up to 4 out of 5 stars.

------------

How I feel about the characters right now (probably spoilers):
Billie - So far, probably my least favorite Tate James heroine. All she does is pout and lash out. I need something more from her.

Rhett - I'm proud of him and deciding to get therapy! I wonder if his past is going to be part of the plot? I loved when Billie and Vee assigned animals to the guys, it was all so fitting.

Grayson - His smut scenes were everything. Yes, sir. Even with the shocking reveal, he's one of my favorites for sure.

Jace - He's the source of my whiplash but his possessive "mine" streak was doing things to me. I'm glad they're working through their relationship.

Angelo - I knew it, I love this man.

Vee - why am I not surprised. but I also feel like maybe what happens isn't ACTUALLY what happens? idk.

[Rose · Rating 2 out of 5]

This series from the start has been OTT, campy and pretty absurd but at least fun. This one was not so fun. We’re smack dab in soap opera land right now and not good soap opera land; we’re basically in the episode when Marlena was possessed by the devil.

I’m not sure if I’ll read the last book. The h keeps getting more and more pessimistic and callous. The stuff she says to Jace is just too cruel for me. I never connected to the dudes either and what I liked about them keeps lessening the more I read about them. And well, I’ve already talked about the plot 🥴🤷🏻‍♀️. Maybe I’ll be in a gracious mood when book four comes out.

[senna · Rating 1 out of 5]

besties how did we get here? the first book gave so much but it goes downhill so fast from there.

*spoilers/rant*

- the characters have lost any little personality they had in the first book to the point where why even have four guys when they all sound like the same guy??? like i genuinely couldn’t tell whose pov i was reading from half the time.
- and listen, i love me some basic, sweet or no personality girlie every once in a while but billie is like the crème de la crème of no personality and she sure as fuck doesn’t have a single braincell. i swear she gets dumber by the book.
- literally the only thing she has going for her is her backstory which has been milked for 374937 books. does this girl have friends? no. does she have hobbies besides fucking? no. does she pay attention at all to the outside world and express interest in anything that isn’t the guys and the very few scenes where they try to include her in songwriting (something we’re consistently told she’s amazing at but we never ever see)? no. does she ever not cry? no. in fact, she’s cried more than a newborn baby in this book alone. does she have a job? no. how does she consider vee a close friend but then we never see them hanging out together? I DONT FUCKING KNOW! DOES SHE EVER STOP GETTING MAD AT JACE FOR SOMETHING SHE did?????? no!
- like why should jace apologize for not looking for her when SHE was the one who broke up with him??? SHE AND ANGELO were the ones who decided to make him think they didn’t want him anymore???? SHE decided not to tell him about the baby????? tell me in what logical fucking world would it make sense for your ex to go seeking you out when you broke their heart or you getting mad that they didn’t and blaming them for your woes by saying they walked away???????? hello????????? and then she gets mad at him for saying some dumb shit even tho she should know by now that he says shit bc he’s hurt and he explicitly told her she hurt him by looking guilty for fucking him???????????????? sometimes i wish she had stayed on the street in that first book
- at least he finally apologized for treating her the way he’s been since the first book, but damn that took so long too and then it’s just resolved in like 4 pages. someone take their computers away pls. at least until they learn how to pace stuff
- cause the pacing is atrocious. nothing happens and then something happens and then everybody fights and then they’re besties two seconds later. i’m tired.
- all that’s in this book is sex. having a very important conversation? who cares, let’s fuck! our lives are on the line so we have to be careful about where we go and what we do? who cares, let’s fuck! billie literally just exists for sex. that’s it.
- and can someone tell me who the hell thought it was a good idea to compare grayson, a polynesian man, the ONLY poc character in a group (that i remember at least) of white people to an APE??????? which actually brings me to the fact that his whole character is written so problematically and i’m mad i didn’t catch it until now
- needless to say this book pissed me off but i made it here so i might as well read the last one

[Dani (Daniiireads) · Rating 3 out of 5]

The last three sentences of this book has me questioning everything 🤣

Plot twist #1 had me so fucking pissed, I almost DNF right there, but I’m glad I carried on

Plot twist #2/cliffy ending… Ehhhh, I can’t say I’m too upset because I was ALWAYS sus… A L W A Y S. Like so many things about said sus-ness were made apparent from said sus character throughout the last 2 books (but especially this one) that I’m not at all surprised

BUT THE LAST THREE SENTENCES… If what is implied is true, then it changes so much. Oh Billie lol

[Alicia · Rating 4 out of 5]

CWs: violence, medical trauma, PTSD, trauma, miscarriage, fire and fire injury, murder, death, blood, gun violence, drug use

This one had a lot happening! I thought some of the characters were back-and-forth again on how they had acted in the previous books, but by the end they felt more consistent.
I really liked that Billie was going to therapy in this one, and I appreciated the discussions of her trauma and triggers. I also liked that she was willing to try and get a handle on her nightmares and trauma in order to move on in the future. This crept into her present in the relationships with Rhett, Gray, Jace, and Angelo. I liked that she made progress with all of them.
I’m still not a huge fan of Angelo, but I thought he was a bit better in this one. I really liked Vee and I thought she was a good friend to Billie. The issues with Gray had my heart breaking, and I appreciated how the authors didn’t magically resolve everything right away. They gave their characters time to stew and come to realize that they should talk.
The plot was intense in a lot of ways, and I liked the parts with the touring and the shows. The relationship parts are also fun to read, and I liked seeing the progression of Billie’s relationships with all of them individually and as a group.

[Giota (the reader) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Goodness, this book HURT! Jace and Billie are still not in a good place, the hurt just runs too deep and these two kept tearing each other apart when it was clear that they couldn’t live without each other! It was always one step forward and two steps back…
Then there was the absolute SHOCKER about Grayson and that night 8 years ago that had me losing my mind 😭.
Someone give this girl a break, my HEART 😔.

Definitely an improvement from the first one and second one. She kinda ruined one of the guys for me but I still enjoyed it. The plot is way better on this one

[Krystal- Celestialbookdragon · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book had my emotions going on an absolute rollercoaster! Although I can admit that I started off this book being pretty annoyed with Billie. She is finally with someone that could help her with her expansive mental health problems but instead of being open to it she is whiny and mean. It was even worse because she acknowledged that she wasn't being fair but was still acting immature anyway. Like I get that she didn't seek out the help on her own but don't take your feelings out on others! She warmed up to them not too long after and overall I was really happy with the mental health representation but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried in the beginning.

Now back to the story, there were plenty of plot twists throughout but that one about halfway through had me gasping and wishing I could go back and pretend I hadn't read it because I just knew that things were not gonna be ok for awhile, and they weren't. 🥲 It freaking hurt to see the group be split apart once again but thankfully everything worked itself out eventually!

In terms of the guys, Gray really surprised me in this one! In literally the best way too! His daddy dom punishment vibes were nothing short of immaculate and OMG I need more ASAP! 😈🥵 The only thing that could have made the spice better would be some group scenes and some time with Angelo! I feel like he's going to surprise me and I just need him to stop teasing and give the people (cough cough me) what they want! 👀🤌🏻

However, in order to have my group spice fantasy come to life Billie and Jace need to get on the same page. I wished we had made more progress with them because at this point it's been three whole books and their back and forth feels a bit drawn out. Especially because every time I thought we'd made some progress they had some type of minor miscommunication that set them back and when this was still happening towards the end I was over it. They both need to sit down and talk to each other until they both reach an understanding because how am I supposed to feel satisfied with the last book if there are still problems within the harem?! 😭 Needless to say that I am hoping for some kind of resolution for these two early on in book 4 because I need AT LEAST a whole book of everyone being happy together and working as a team to recover from the emotional damage this story has put me through!

Is it slowly getting ridiculous? Yes
Will I still continue? yes

[Krissreads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Talk about a cliff hanger…

Wasn’t expecting Miss Vee to make moves like that but of course she did and that ending, daddy dearest makes an entrance….🫣🤔

I can see how some people feel like it’s being drawn out but I am actually loving this series and the amount of detail in the story line. There are 4 men plus Billie herself who all have trauma and major baggage and there just isn’t anyway to cut it down without it being all choppy, hence why I appreciate the back and current stories of each of them because we get to understand why they are the way they are and also the dynamic between them.

I do have to make a note about how cringy the moment Billie found out about Grayson, I mean you couldn’t just put in that he told her he was there that night? The fact that she had a flash back in that specific moment and “recognised Greysons hair”…. Hahah what an actual load of shit… This actually made me roll my eyes hard 🙄🙄🙄

I love Grayson and yes he is still my number one IDGAF🥵 Rhett is just everything isn’t he, Forever loving and accepting of her and her feelings… that and the fact he faced his fears by going to therapy ahhhh my heart 😭🙌🏼 Jace was still acting like a bitch the first half but is now getting in my good books but I will admit that the change in their relationship gave me fucking whiplash and still confuses me on how they came good🥴 Angelo, mmm I’m not really jelling with him but hopefully it changes in the forth book🤔

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK WAS THAT?!?! That's how you choose to end a book?! Jesus, just tell your readers you hate them -- that'll be a lot nicer than that cliffhanger. Jesus. Can we just fast forward to April? I need all the answers and I need them now!

All joking aside (about the authors hating us, NOT how killer that cliffhanger is, because it's seriously one of the worst ones ever) this series is magnificent and I'm so fucking hooked! Here's hoping the next month speeds on by so we can get all the answers we need!

[Emma Lockey · Rating 3 out of 5]

It didn’t quite hit the mark this time…

I adored the first two instalments of Boys of Bellerose. Book three, however, didn’t hit the mark for me. This time round I found myself frustrated with Billie, to the point I found her quite unlikeable. Usually when that happens with the protagonist I’ll leave the book. I’ve pushed through with this one in hope the final instalment is as exciting as the first two. I found Billie to be so entirely self centred and felt the guys lost their personalities that had been so intricately developed. These strong alphas just felt like complete lapdogs. I think the book was too focused on the sex scenes, and the quality of story took the back foot.

Image your two childhood exs are a rockstar and a heir to the mafia and you have the personality of a dry noodle wtffffff are we talking aboutttttt

[The Romantic Rush Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

My rockgod how this story consumes me! I am obsessed with this rock meets mafia world and the messy, toxic, complicated relationships of these mesmerizing characters. The energy, the chemistry, the drama, the tension, the twists! I can’t stop reading- it’s a total addiction!

There’s been so much angst and heartache - past and present, and after a sea of years and years of misunderstandings, assumptions, and secrets, it feels like these characters are finally having some breakthroughs, finally making some forward momentum out of the chains of their pasts. Shattered Dream is all about letting go, about empathy and forgiveness. It’s about these characters reconciling the literal shattered dreams of their past (and in some cases their present) but it’s also about shattering their baggage, finally working through their anger, grief, and pain. Each of our characters has to confront what they’ve been repressing or running from- they have to shatter the illusions and facades they’ve created, because if not they can never stop living in the past. To move forward, they HAVE to face their history, as a collective and as individuals, to find a way to actually have a futured. Reconciliation, reparation, and redemption. “I need to let the past go because it’s breaking me.” Wel, that’s their new mantra. And for too long they’ve hidden from the hard work of healing and growing- but now, well, now they have no choice. Not if they want to survive the insanity happening around them. But more so, so they can find a way to authentically connect with each other. To have what they want and need they have to LET GO and stop hiding from their trauma. And so we have SO much beautiful and needed vulnerability, some responsible (YES FOR THERAPY!) steps forward, and yes, some steps back along the way too. But now all of our character recognizing surviving is not ENOUGH. They can thrive- together. But they have to do the work. It’s romantic existentialism at its finest- and it’s SO psychologically delicious, not to mention radically entertaining with all of the mafia danger and intrigue happening all around them.

But hang on tight. There are some MAJOR heartbreaking twists. And we get some glimpses into the past that REALLY freaking hurt. I cried, more than once. This book is perhaps the most emotionally immersive yet- we have to wade into the dark with these characters as they start to face it, it’s the only way to find the light. They might not all know just HOW to confront their demons, but now at least they know they have to. They want to- because they are being eaten alive by their ghosts. Because love might NOT be enough- not without healing. I was GUTTED by some major developments in this book, and of course by the jaw dropping ending that has me BEGGING for the finale. But hope is blossoming from despair more and more, and each of these men start to complete and heal our Billie more and more too- just like she completes and heals each of them. They are starting to find a whole. Now, they just need to find their power to overthrow all that restrains them internal and external- and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out!

[Christina Close · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing just like the first two books. I'm struggling because I want to read the fourth book so badly but I also need a breather from these characters because the trauma they have been through is so much and so heartbreaking.

I can't praise Tate James and Jaymin Eve enough this series has by far been one of my absolute favorites of all time.

For sure will be picking up book four after a quick break to read something a little less heavy on the trauma.

[Jai Rahim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Do I like a heroine who loooves to play the victim? Noooo! And Billie Bellerose is the quintessential whiner. At sixteen, Billie made a choice to break it off with Jace in a way that ensured that he would walk away without looking back. In the aftermath, traumatic and awful, but circumstantial shit happened to Billie resulting from her mother’s treachery against the mafia. During the course of eight years after the mafia”s fatal retaliation on her parents, Billie has lived in poverty and was nearly homeless. Somehow, Billie blames Jace for her fucked up life. Her hatred is focused on the fact that Jace failed to check up on her after she destroyed him when she dumped him. Nine years later she’s still throwing that pity party. Sooo many excuses this girl has for holding grudges. Decidedly, I’ve come to have serious issues with polyamorous relationships where all the heroine actually gives of herself (Billie) is sex, and not much else. The total devotion that the men lavishes Billie with is ridiculously unwarranted. Example: Rhett and Vee stayed up all night on Christmas Eve decorating the house to surprise Billie because Jace told them that Billie loved the Christmas season. Rhett and Grayson dressed up as shirtless Santa’s and Vee baked goodies. Rather than enjoying that gift…that bitch Billie, didn’t even thank anyone for their efforts. Instead, she took it as another opportunity to fight with Jace (stupidly) over revealing that info about her. Constantly sniping at Jace, she didn’t care one bit that she was making it difficult for everyone else in the house to enjoy their Christmas Day. Seriously, by this time I’ve had just about enough of that narcissistic, grudging, nymphomaniac. Fortunately, there’s only one book left to go. The four star rating I gave this one, is for the mafia plot and the guys.
