Review: Broken Juliet by Leisa Rayven

OUR REVIEW:

Shel: Recently I read Bad Romeo and it was a fun and angsty (I know those don't normally belong together) read; one I was glad I read right before Broken Juliet was due to come out because the ending of Bad Romeo was a killer.

Broken Juliet continues the story of Ethan and Cassie and in the same format of its predecessor; so we get both the present day story in conjunction with the flashbacks of how things went terribly, terribly wrong for them three years prior. Knowing that their story wasn't going to be an easy one, I mentally prepared myself and dived in. 

As I suspected Ethan made me want to choke him and hug him and, actually, Cassie made me feel the same at times. Their stubborn natures, their unwillingness in their younger years to work through things (though to cut them some slack they were young), and the utter heartbreak of losing that intense love they had was all over the pages. But...so was their love, their humor, their patience and kindness...and as they grew older, their willingness to be more open and honest.

This novel was a quick read; it was entertaining and infuriating in all of the best ways and while there was a definite steam factor, it was more about their story than it was about their sexy times. I think readers wanting to know their back story and see how they find their HEA, this novel will be fully satisfactory.  And good news! It appears that there will be a new book that is a spin off of this series!
