Unbreak My Heart

De: Nicole Jacquelyn

Narrado por: Alastair Haynesbridge, Charlotte North

A "heartbreaking, heartwarming" (Heidi McLaughlin, New York Times bestselling author) love story that asks the question: what do you do when your soul mate marries your best friend?

If you're Kate Evans, you keep your friend Rachel, bond with her kids, and bury your feelings for her husband. The fact that Shane's in the military and away for long periods helps-but when tragedy strikes, everything changes.

After Rachel, pregnant with her fourth child, dies in a car accident and the baby miraculously survives, Kate upends her entire life to share parenting duties. Then on the first anniversary of Rachel's death, Kate and Shane take comfort in each other in a night that they both soon regret.

Shane's been angry for a year, and now he feels guilty too - for sleeping with his wife's best friend and liking it . . . liking her. Kate's ability to read him like a book may have once sent Shane running, but their lives are forever entwined and they are growing closer.

Now with Shane deployed for seven months, Kate is on her own and struggling with being a single parent. Shane is loving and supportive from thousands of miles away, but his homecoming brings a betrayal Kate never saw coming. So Kate's only choice is to fight for the future she deserves - with or without Shane. . .

Can’t get enough

Everytime I’m in a book slump, this is my go-to re-listen and re-read. How I wish we could get another book with Kate and Shane.

Fantastic narration!!!

This book will definitely put your emotions through the ringer!
There is a lot of angst in this book and maybe I'm a sucker but I truly loved this story! I know there is some controversy in other reviews and it's because of that that I had to read it myself and I'm so glad I did.
Kate is one hell of a strong woman. Some might say she's a doormat but when you deeply love someone despite their flaws, your emotions get the better of you. Her soul mate ended up marrying her best, so Katie pushed her feelings aside and was there for Rachel every step of the way. It was easy because Shane was in the marines and constantly being deployed, however, tragedy strikes and Kate puts her life aside to be there for the kids and Shane. She's an amazing person and loves those kids like they're her own. A year after Rachel's death, Kate is called upon to check on Shane and when she finds him and alcohol is involved; the lines get blurred - big time!!
Their story is a roller coaster of emotions. Shane is a dickhead a lot and I do not agree with the way he treats Kate. My belief is that he was a scared boy afraid of his emotions and the way he felt for Kate when they were younger which made him resort to go with a safer choice. Now years later, he's an angry man and is stilled scared of his emotions but after being with Kate, his walls slowly come down. After he makes a colossal mistake shattering everything, he finally sees the light and will do everything he can to fix it..... but will it be too late?!!

Glitch in Chap 7

There is a glitch in Chapter 7 that I could not get past while listening on the app. The only way to finish this book was to log in on the website, go to the library and choose pick up where left off which was a little frustrating. That being said - I thoroughly enjoyed the narrators; the story was ok.

Roller Coaster of EMOTIONS

OMG, how do I even begin?!?!?? Well, first I loved that the story was told in both Kates and Shane's point of view so we could get into both of their heads and also figure out or try to explain why Shane was a dick throughout most of this book.😫 He cut down Kate DEEP💔 a couple times that I had a hard time even contemplating forgiving him and I think if it hadn't been for the kids Kate would have walked away a long time ago.
I felt bad for her because it seemed her best friend Rachel used and manipulated her for her own needs and Kate put up with it because she was the type of person that when you have her love and friendship she'll go above and beyond even if it's at her own expense. Kate was just a genuine person 🤗 who always put everyone first before herself.
I was happy she gave it to Shane and didn't put up with his attitude and gave right back to him, she was no doormat!!
This was a real roller coaster ride of tremendous ups and downs that's what made this book so very good and a 5 star rating for me. I just wish we had more time at the end for hea moments between Kate and Shane! 😍
5 rating for me. The dual narrations were fantastic and they did a GREAT job!!

Heartbreakingly good love story

Narration by Charlotte North and Alastair Haynesbridge was really good.

Kate has been in love with Shane since she was a girl. Kate is loving, giving and understanding. Shane meets and eventually marries Kate’s best friend, and Kate basically puts her love life on hold. When her best friend dies, Kate puts the rest of her life on hold to take care of the children.

Shane grew up in the foster system. His friendship with Kate ended when she got too close and he hooked up with Kate’s best friend. He is in the military and is off gone on long deployments. After his wife’s death he is forced to interact with Kate, something he avoided during his entire marriage.

The relationship grows between Shane and Kate. The motivations behind each person’s actions becomes more clear as events in their pasts are revealed. The story is a love story with a HEA. However, I loved how the story showed how healing and redeeming love can be as well as the power of forgiveness. Highly recommended!

That kinda hurt

This was an emotional ride. I felt gutted each time Shane was so cruel and I don’t feel like his actions as a teen/20 were explained away enough for me to forgive him.

I just loved the narrators!!!

The narrators usually make or break the audio book and 80% of the time they ruin the audio book for me. It was so now the case with this audio book, both narrators complimented each other and made the story that much better. I just closed my eyes and let their voices take me through a roller coaster of feelings.

The best

So good! The best! Made me laugh, made me cry, made me anxious. Love the whole series but this one is my favorite. Go to it again and again.

I love this book!

Have read many many time cause I just cant over the story. But actually listening to it was amazing. They both did such a great job portraying the characters.

loved it

a favorite in all its formats, loved the pace and the tune in this one
