Heartbreak Prince: A Bully Romance

Broken Hearts Academy, Book 1

De: C.R. Jane

Narrado por: Courtney Wohl

Soulmates. I believe in them. I was lucky enough to have two of them at one point.

The only problem. My soulmates happened to be twin brothers. Caiden was the light to Jackson's dark. And after all that I had been through, the light was what I thought I needed.

When I chose Caiden, I lost Jackson.

Feeling like half a person after Jackson left, I barely survived when tragedy struck, and I lost Caiden, too.

It took me years to admit to myself that I had chosen wrong from the beginning. I’m ready to admit it to Jackson...only problem, he hates me.

I’m ready to fight for my happily ever after.

But there’s a reason they call him the "Heartbreak Prince".

A love triangle you can't pass up!

All is not as it seems in this love story between twin brothers (Jackson and Caiden) and their childhood best friend, Everly. The story is told with the haunting narration, which adds to the emotional turmoil you'll experience. C.R. Jane has unfolded the mystery of Caiden's accident in such a way, you won't want to stop the book. The expertise in which mental health is entwined into the characters is honest and done with extreme care. Heartbreak Prince is a captivating story of love lost, misunderstanding, and hidden truths. Highly recommend.

Wow!!Just Wow!!

Not sure how else to put it this book has it all. All the emotions one sec you're laughing the next you're crying and then some. I would definitely recommend this book. I'm just a little bummed the next book isn't yet on audible so i can listen and do other stuff cause I'm so addicted to the story it's hard to put down.

Ahh

I can not wait for the second book! HP is full of angst and heartache. It was so beautifully written! The narrator was so so but I love the story so much that I can get past it!

Narration not great, improved at 1.4-1.5X speed

So this was my first read/listen of the Broken Hearts Academy duet by CR Jane. I have read other CR Jane books so I knew she would be pulling and twisting our heartstrings, like she always does 😊 I was pleasantly surprised about the subject/nuances in this book because we don't always get a story that shows the darkness and hardships that come with mental health besides depression and anxiety. Not selling those short, but I haven't come across a lot of books with a character suffering a different mental illness (I won't spoil it but it is revealed not long into the book). I thought that to me made it more realistic, especially since I had an aunt who suffered that same illness along with bi-polar disorder and she would go through some of the episodes mentioned in Heartbreak Prince. I commend CR for being real and honest with this. I will say that I was not a fun of the MC to be honest. I don't think she can redeem herself in my eyes, in terms of how she treated the different brothers. You can't just substitute one for the other and think it will be ok. I was surprised how my opinion of the guys changed throughout the book, another kudo to CR Jane for not shying away from abuse (not going to say more, you will just need to read and listen to find out). Just be prepared for some triggers, if you have any, since there is tough topics in this book. I will say the ending was a shock and I am excited to read book 2 because I didnt expect that to happen haha.

Honestly though, the narration wasn't my favorite. I didnt think Courtney provided the correct inflections in some instances and was slow and repetitive with her performances. I think for me speeding it up to 1.4-1.5X made it ok, which is why I bumped it up to a 3 stars for the performance. I didnt feel like I had to stop listening (some narrators do that to me, I can be a snob sometimes I'll admit) but I think she just didnt make it exciting or compelling, which is not what you want from a narrator.

Overall I would give this story a shot as long as you can listen to the narration (try speeding it up, it helps). I definitely will be checking out book 2 of this duet, I need to know what happens next ❤️

Really good. Very emotional.

This story is an emotional roller-coaster,an almost gothic romance, with some very surprising twists. It has a lot of emotional depth and many moments where you are shaking your head at the FMC but her actions make more sense as her history with the MC is slowly revealed. The narrator is a bit slow but I thought her voice and inflection served the story well. I had to see what happens next so read thr second book on Kindle Unlimited and I wasn't disappointed! If you like emotionally dark romance novels with a HEA but a still little bittersweet then you will like this book.
