He has vowed to set things right for Rory, and he's determined to get her back. But the destruction left in the wake of Hallie's letter is not the only obstacle he must face. Houston must find a way to win Rory back by showing her their story isn't over yet.

Rory is annoying but Houston stole my heart!

Any additional comments?

I was really excited to hear more of Rory's story, except I def enjoyed book #1 The Way We Fall better than this one. I did feel like Houston and Rory's story has dragged on and with Rory choosing Liam to wisk her away.... it was annoying. I guess I just really have a soft spot for Houston, as what he has endured in this whole "story" was more than enough for him to handle. I feel as though Rory thinks she is the only one that endured an awful death and affair- and that no one has the right to be upset or grieve. Houston lost his sister, and in than turn lost the love of his life. The poor guy even has to deal with a crazy wife, and has to handle Rory on the side. I don't know, Houston has my heart 100%.
There is a HEA, it just took a long time to get there.
Over all, Cassia Leo is a great writer, probably one of my favorite.
The narrators were fabulous- and Erin Mallon and Lee Samuels are pretty good- I've listened to them many times before and they always brings the characters to life.

Cliffhanger

Would you listen to The Way We Break again? Why?

Might. I'm ok with the story line. Erin Mallon is not my favorite narrator. I have to prepare myself to listen to her.

What does Erin Mallon and Lee Samuels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Erin Mallon is not my favorite narrator. I find myself skipping pages in the books she reads. Lee is pretty good

Any additional comments?

Cliffhanger and narrators are the two things I look into first before choosing a book. I wasn't aware this was a cliffhanger. I don't like to wait. If the entire series is out I will purchase the book. The book was ok. I would listen to it again if I'm bored. As of today book 3 is not out. If all of this author's books have cliffhangers I don't think I will be listening to anymore of her books

Good story didn’t want to put it down.

This series was well written and kept me coming back for more. Well worth the credit!

The story continues

The story of Rory and Houston continue and more secrets come to light. Rory continues to attempt to distance herself from Houston by moving to California with Liam who happens to have some secrets of his own and a little darkness to him that Rory didn't know. I think one of things I take away from this book is that the things you are running from may cause you to run into somo of the things you don't want as well. Rory didn't think some things out very well and it has in turn caused her more angst and she will now have to get through that as well. Liam is definitely not the person she thought he was. Nice follow up to book 1.

Good

This was a good 2nd book to this series. Stop being so stupid Rory. You and Houston need to get it together.

Drivel

The main character Rory is a whining disappointment. I hope there isn’t a 3rd book.

Another Part of their Story

At the end of book one, readers were left up in the air. Now this picks up right where it ended. Good pacing, a solid plot and nothing boring about this story - with all the twists and turns, there's still a lot going on. And of course, this book ends in a cliffhanger. While I liked book one best, this book was good too and I'm eager to read the next book which is the final.

Cassia Leo writes characters with emotion, characters we can relate too. That's why she's a go-to author for me. Add in the good narration and her book on audio is a great listening experience.

CANNOT STOP LISTENING!!!

This THE BEST series I have EVER read or listened to. Two books in & I still can't wait for the times I am able to listen. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended!!!

great

great wonder book very surprised at how it ended would recommend it to other people

As good as the first book

This 2nd book was as good as the first. I really enjoyed listening to them. A cliffhanger which I hate I can not wait for the 3rd book. A must read or listen
