How the Heart Breaks

De: Stacey Marie Brown

Narrado por: Maxine Mitchell, Michael Gallagher

He was her secret, her sin, the heart she couldn’t love.

Emery Robert’s life is everything she wanted: married to the love of her life, with a good job, and plans for a family in the future. But when Emery’s husband dies tragically, she is the one who stops living.

Three years later, at the age of 30, she’s still struggling to move on. Friends are encouraging her to date again, while her in-laws want to keep her in the past, trapping Emery in the middle.

Deciding to move to a new town to start fresh with a new job and house, Emery’s 17-year-old niece, Addison, moves in with her for her final year of high school, where she instantly forms a crush on the popular and mysterious, Mason James.

At 19 years old, Mason has been through far more than most. A past full of tragedy and loss. Being held back a year in school, Mason is mentally years beyond his peers. Not feeling he belongs anywhere, until he meets Addison’s very sexy aunt.

Overwhelmingly drawn to her, he can’t seem to get this older woman out of his head. And no matter how much Emery denies it, he’s the first one who has sparked life in her, making her feel things she shouldn’t.

As much as she fights her forbidden desire, the sparks between them can’t be denied. When reality crashes down, it’s not just the taboo of their age difference that will rip out their hearts. It’s what fate has in store for them that will show them how the heart breaks.

Wow what a journey

This book had everything. Happy, sad, gut wrenching, and stupidity🤪. This reversal age gap book was entertaining. I thought I would stop reading when I found out how young the boy was (over 18), but I couldn’t put it down. By the time it gets towards the end there is a big twist that I sure wasn’t expecting. There are parts of stupidity with them taking chances in certain places, that I wasn’t cool with and thought it didn’t need to be written in, but the overall story wasn’t bad. I definitely wouldn’t recommend. Thanks

Absolutely Incredible

I have been a HUGE fan of Stacey’s for years, and believe me when I tell you that she just keeps getting better and better!!! The gut wrenching, tear jerking, side splitting emotions that drip off these pages are absolutely incredible! I couldn’t put it down!!!! Hats off to you Ms. Brown, very well done!

So good!

Great story, amazing chemistry, and Mason 🥵🥵 couldn’t get enough of him! That mouth of his! 🤤

Good read!

I absolutely loved this book. This is a reverse age gap romance and the h is 10 years older then the H. The two main characters have a lot baggage and there is a lot of “push and pull” in their relationship. At some points I felt like it gave me whiplash but in the end the HEA made it worth it.

Great book

It really makes you think about who and how you love!!! Great book, I wonder if there will be a sequel

ONE HEART TWO MEN

This book.... this book just shot up to # 1 as my favorite read. I have shared the same concerns and fight as Emery on being with a younger man. My husband is 13 years younger than me. The push and pull in my mind... the comments from others ... it definitely was a struggle. Mason reminds me so much of my husband! This book was fantastic... so emotional ... it definitely made me ugly cry. It had the perfect amount of heat... loved it! The narration was perfect. Maxine Mitchell is one of my Favs and she could have handled this whole book herself. I love her male voice! This is just a very touching story so worth reading if you're looking to have feelings. I loved EVERYTHING about it.

Simply amazing!

This book was refreshing and so incredibly good. The character building was awesome and did not have over the top drama that went on and on. Narration was fantastic! Definitely worth a credit.

The age difference

Too much back break up and back. then when together, the other breaks it off. overall it was a really good book.

New favorite!

Worth owning this audio! I love everything about this title: emotional and well written story, steamy scenes but not at all shallow, great interpretation- (by both narrators)but Maxine Mitchell male voice is unbelievable hot!

LOVED! MUST LISTEN!

Stacey Marie Brown did it again! I don't cry often from books, but this one had me sobbing at the end. Great story. Love scenes on par, the character development was great. The performances were very good. You won't regret this one.
