HAILEY

One evening, two years’ worth of memories lost.
Under the pretense of recovery, my father sends me to an elite boarding college, but soon, my memories start rushing back, and it’s obvious I’m not at Lakeside to heal.
I’m here to hide.
Navigating the scattered past to decipher the threat lurking in the shadows is hard while I’m kept in the dark and even harder when he steals my focus. Crude, arrogant, and threatening, he draws me in, and the closer I get, the less I understand.

Waking up without memories is terrifying, but remembering the time I lost is infinitely worse.

CARTER

Guilty by association—Hailey Scarlett Vaughn deserves pain.
The moment I see her, I want to wrap my fingers around her neck and squeeze…
No matter how big the temptation, I need to extract a key hidden in the depths of her mind first.
A key to my father’s freedom.
Hailey’s a pawn in a complex game of revenge. A tool in my hands, but as she starts to remember, I realize we’re both tangled in an intricate web of lies that tightens every day.

The harder I push to break her, the faster she breaks me.

Breaking Hailey is set in the same universe as Broken Rules and Broken Promises. You don't have to listen to the Broken Duet before diving into Breaking Hailey. However, some characters from the Broken Duet will make an appearance in this book.

Yep, I'm already on my way to book 2.

What a great book. I loved the way the story actually had build up. It was so good. I loved MMC,and FMC. They are both fighting for the same answers, but they just don't know it.
The book never dragged along. I liked the pace the story kept. The spice is good,and fits the couple very well.
On to book 2!!!!

Great story!

I loved the story! It’s angsty & steamy. I loved the MMC more and more as the story progressed. This ends on a cliff hanger!

I am absolutely amazed and flabbergasted. This book, this narration is amazing, captivating and utterly surprising.
I went blind on this story and I don’t regret it. Not one bit.

Forbidden is the best

Every time I’m warned about a cliffhanger I still get surprised! I love how easily he folded and switched to wanting to break her to wanting to keep her

OMG I love love love love this book going to listen to the other rn

Did not Finish

Made it to chapter 16 before I had enough.

Cool premise and even cooler setting, but the plot quickly becomes predictable and moves at a breakneck pace. Extremely stereotypical characters. FMC is a fragile, crippled Mary Sue and the MMC is your garden variety bad boy with anger issues. Everyone is super duper rich. This is written like a fanfic I'd read on DeviantArt back in middle school. what's supposed to be romantic dialog is not very romantic. The audio makes it even worse lol.

Despite having a male and female voice actor, whenever the chapter is from the perspective time of either one, they attempt to voice all of the characters in that chapter. Meaning that "Carter" puts on a nasally shrill voice whenever Hailey is speaking lol. It was honestly insufferable and was the final straw for me.
