Broken

An Unlucky 13 Standalone

De: Andi Jaxon

Narrado por: Darcy Stark, Iggy Toma

After years of drowning myself in parties, hookups, and pain, all it takes is one viral sex tape to be given a choice: Hide out on an island or lose my trust fund.

Having to share a room with the one man I let hurt me is my worst nightmare. I’m the broken shell of the boy he walked away from on the worst day of my life. I hate him almost as much as I hate myself.

This island was supposed to be a place I could rest, but instead, I’m running. From Asher Vaughn. From myself. From the scars on my heart that never healed.

It hurts to look at him and see all the things we never got to have.

How can I keep him at arm's length when he watches me the way he used to? When he touches me? When he calls me his?

We can’t be together, not off this island. The straight football star and the gay femme son of famous parents. The media would rip us apart and ruin his career.

I barely survived the last time he left me. Can I survive being deserted again?

Broken is a brother’s best friend, mm romance with some praise kink, and a broken boy in desperate need of love.

This was so good

Voice acting was phenomenal and the story kept me engaged. The end had my cheeks in pain from how much I smiled

The title of this book says it all

I forgot how good and tragic this story is. Asher (20) & Eli (17) fall in love and kiss. When Eli’s brother, Marcus (also Asher’s best friend), dies in a freak accident with Asher present, Asher decides to leave his life and Eli behind in order to protect Eli.
Every year, Asher sends Eli a birthday texts.
6 years later, they end up at Black Diamond together. I first read this book and then listened to the audio. The writing was amazing and the narrators performed it beautifully. I’m glad these broken boys get their HEA. I’ve enjoyed this entire author collaboration but this book is definitely one of my favorites.

Holy F#{K

Wow this was awesome. Just spend the credit already. This resonates with me. I cried and I laughed.

I really enjoyed the determination of the characters to change their Loved ones perspective.

There are some great moments where the main characters interact with each other. I also enjoyed the way this story showed that if it isn’t possible to thrive with the family you are born into. They may only off pain therefore you could make up a chosen family of friends you Love and who Love and support you.

Another broken heart

I swear every Andi book breaks me and puts me back together. Iggy and Darcy did an amazing job. This story had the perfect pitch and roll of a roller-coaster.

Great performances, good story

This isn't the first book in the Unlucky series that I read, so I had a general idea of what to expect, but it wasn't as heartbreaking as I thought it might be. Don't get me wrong, the beginning was still very heartbreaking, and about the first 75%. The last 25% was so sweet, loving and even funny. It was the perfect mix of love and heartbreak in the book. Good amount of spice too. I've always been a fan of Andi's books and this didn't disappoint :) The narrators did a fantastic job - I love Iggy Toma :)

Tissues required!

First… I want to punch Eli’s mother in her MF Face!

I think I am in love with Trauma books. WOW! I cried so much listening to this. I love how Asher comes back and fights to live Eli right and shows him how worthy he is. Freaking beautiful story.

Narrators did amazing!

Wow.. heart breaking love story

This book had all the angst.. all the heart throbbing.. tear wrenching story to it.. a parents rejection (thats just so bad on so many levels), losing your first love and then finding him again..losing your brother on top of it all..
tears lost of tears in this story..
Andi you did it again.. a heart breaking amazing book..
the narration was amazing especially Iggy..

Love a good surprise

Yes, this is a spicy MM romance but the plot and characters make it impossible to put down. Plus the s*x is holy hot

Mental Health

I never write reviews but I had to say something about this story. I believe the author could have written a better story if it dealt with the mental health issues with the 2 main characters. They went to a resort instead of getting real help. I felt so horrible for them. They needed guidance and maybe some medication. They didn’t receive either. This book could have been beneficial for people with depression instead there was just sex. Sex does not fix one’s mental health issues. Elliot was a cutter but that was not dealt with a professional. I feel very let down and I’m sorry I wasted a credit on it.
