Shattered Hearts

Hudson Yards Series, Book 2

De: Tina Spencer

Narrado por: Alora Daniel, Sean Masters

This undying obsession with my best friend’s little sister has ruined everything I’ve worked hard to protect. All the secrets I had kept hidden away in the back of my closet are now exposed, scattered on the floor, along with Zoe’s broken heart. I want to fix it, to go back in time and re-do everything, but she won’t let me. She hates me and I don’t blame her for it.

But I’ve never been one to give up, especially not on her. There is no amount of time, hate or deception that could keep me away from Zoe Jackson. She may be my best friend’s sister and that might have been wrong before, but I don’t care anymore. I am relentless and I will stop at nothing to get her back. To prove to her I’m not going anywhere—not now, not ever. We still have the fake dating agreement she made to help save my hockey career and if I have to drag it out to buy more time, I’ll do it. Nothing is going to get in my way. Not even a life-threatening injury could keep me away from her. I am determined to win her back, no matter how much time or effort it takes. I will confront every obstacle, endure any hardship, be it fire or rain, until she is mine. Even if it means forcing her to face her demons.

When the past collides with the present, and hearts shatter into unrecognizable pieces, what happens? He's her brother's best friend and a pro hockey player. And he's determined to win her back, despite the lies and deception that occurred during that one night in Boston six years ago.

4.5 stars!!

After the ending of Shattered Obsession, I was so happy I could jump right into this book for more of Zoe & Dominic! And this book was full of so much tension between these two and I loved it. And the groveling this man does had me melting for him! I was already feral for him before and this just solidified all of those feelings.

The audiobook is narrated in duet by Alora Daniel & Sean Masters and I loved every minute of listening to it! They both perfectly bring this book to life and portray all the emotions of both characters so well! If you’re an audiobook lover, I’d definitely recommend listening to this one!

Angsty & Sweet

The angst & spice are taken up a few notches in this one.
Zoey is furious and feels completely betrayed, and Dominic has his work cut out for him.
I absolutely love how Dom opens himself up completely and continually shows Zoey that he will always be there for her, he will never give up on her.
Zoey takes her time too. But when she finally decides that she is tired of being upset things explode between them.
The spice in this one is so hot 🥵!
I adore Dom, he is absolutely obsessed with Zoey and loves her inside and out. He shows her over and over again that he will always be there.
There was a lot of healing and passion in this one.
I absolutely loved Zoey & Dom’s story!

“I’ll choose you every single time.”

I'm not gonna lie, I was a little worried going into this book because the male narrator is different from book 1, but Sean Masters did a fantastic job as Dom, and Alora Daniel once again brought Zoe to life beautifully.

In this book, we get to know Zoe and Dominik on a deeper more emotional level. We see how both of them, especially Zoe, struggle with feeling unwanted and undeserving of love, and I gotta say both the author and the narrators did a beautiful representation of this.

I loved how real and relatable Zoe's intrusive thoughts felt. And I also loved how Dom's level of possessiveness never faltered, instead, he just leveled it up every time Zoe tried to fight him on it.

Absolutely loved this duet and am looking forward to hopefully getting to know the rest of the gang better in the future.

Quote: “There is no place on this earth, no amount of distance or time that could keep me away from you. Not even death could get in my way. I’ll turn into a fùçƙing ghost and haunt you for the rest of your life, if I have to.”

GREAT AUDIO

Book 2 in the Hudson Yards series continues the dark story between Zoe and Dom. Book 1 ended on that devastating cliffhanger with Zoe finding out about Dom’s betrayal.
Shattered Hearts picks right up at the end of Book 1. Zoe is destroyed and she has lost all trust in Dominic. This book will be dedicated to him trying to win back her trust and show her that he has loved her all along.
The audio for this book is captivating and fantastic. The duet narration and the chemistry between characters will melt your ears. Sean Masters as Dom walks that fine line between obsession and love so well and that’s not to mention the spice…you’ll just have to listen for yourself. The ending of this story is great and I can’t wait to read Aaron’s story next!

Alora and Sean!! Yessss!!

I have recently discovered these two through this book! They did an amazing job of bringing out these characters and their story! It’s a yes for me!

So proud of him not giving up!

He never gave up, he always showed up, and he always chose her! Absolutely love this man! She deserved everything he did for her and because of her. She deserves the world after everything she’s gone through. And I am soooo happy her brother pulled himself together and was ok with Dom and her together. And I seriously think Aaron and Via are going to be a thing haha! Oh heavens I hope so haha! Aaron needs the challenge lol

Enemies to lovers goodness

Shattered Hearts is book 2 in the Hudson Yards series and it picks up right where that cliffhanger left us in Book 1 Shattered Obsession. You need to listen to book 1 to fully understand what is happening in Shattering Hearts, and trust me it’s worth it. Can I say I’m still fully in love with Dominik’s obsession with Zoe. Especially when these two have to continue “fake dating “ once secrets come out. And not only is this a deliciously spicy dark hockey romance, but the plot was amazing. Alora Daniel was again the perfect choice to bring Zoe to life. And Sean Masters has a warm velvety voice with a yummy growl that had me fully in love. I can’t wait to dig in to Watch Me Burn!

Protective, Possessive, Perfect!

Shattered Hearts picks up right where book one ends and dives straight into Dominik and Zoe’s story. Dominik, Zoe’s brother Aaron’s best friend, has been in love with her forever, but he’s kept quiet to protect their friendship. What Zoe doesn’t know is they have a past she’s completely unaware of.

When she moves back to New York with Aaron, she ends up right back in Dominik’s world. A fake dating setup to help repair his bad boy NHL image turns into a slow-burn tangle of steam, banter, and guarded hearts. Zoe’s been hurt so badly by her parents’ lack of love that she’s terrified to let anyone in, making her brother the only person she’s ever truly trusted. Watching her and Dominik work through those walls and seeing her finally let them down… was so satisfying.

The audiobook made it even better. Sean Masters delivered all of Dominik’s devotion, protectiveness, and sweet obsession perfectly. Alora Daniel’s Zoe was just as spot-on, bratty and feisty one moment, heartbreakingly vulnerable the next. Together, they nailed the chemistry and emotion from start to finish.

A swoony, heartfelt addition to the Hudson Yards series that hits you right in the feels.

I was not a fan of the FMC .. not to say there werent parts of the story i did enjoy .... Dom was sooo good in the first book, he had such good groveling during this one .... Zoe did too much whining for me to truly enjoy this one .... but i say that to say this THE NARRATORS ABSOLUTELY KILLED THIS BOOK !!!

Duet Narration that will make you blush!

Another solid four stars for the story & five stars for performance!!!! It picks up right where Shattered Obsession left off. Still hot, still messy, still actually giving us a plot worth following. We got more of Dom’s backstory and it wrapped up his and Zoe’s arc while setting the stage for new characters to take the wheel. The Hudson Yards universe is definitely opening up and I’m pumped to see where it goes. 🫣 👀
Now, the audiobook. 🎧 🔥
Duet narration this time and let me just say… Sean Masters. GAWD DAMNNNNNNNNNNN!!! That man’s voice is velvet whiskey. He can growl without cringe, he can go deep without giving you the ick, and somehow it’s gravel and silk all at once. Alora Daniel matched him perfectly, bringing Zoe’s bratty chaos to life. Their voices were the perfect dichotomy. Together? Unreal. This is 100% a “read it with your ears” situation. TRUST ME ❤️‍🔥
Dom is still my green-flag golden retriever trapped in a Doberman’s body. Loyal, protective, slightly unhinged but in the best way. Zoe annoyed the hell out of me until I realized… yeah, that’s me. Ope. The intrusive thoughts, the tanking self-worth, the whole second-guessing love thing. It hit way harder than I expected and gave me a whole new angle on her. Smutty fun, yes, but also a couple “oh damn” moments that had me tearing up. 🥲
Spice-to-plot ratio? 🌶️
Perfect. 👌🏼
Just enough to keep me sweating, never too much to drown the story. Smut with depth. No pun intended 😏
