"But now there's Asher Logan, a broken man who sees the fractures in my façade and doesn't want to fix me at all. Asher wants me to stop hiding, to stop pretending.

Unbreak Me gets 4.5 stars from me.

The story is told from 3 different POV's, giving us the opportunity to witness first hand what each main character is thinking & feeling. I really enjoyed the storyline. It’s about growth and forgiveness. It captivated from the beginning the story draws you in, it left wanting more after each page, there are lots of twist and turns and it's a roller coaster ride of emotions. The book begins with Maggie returning to New Hope for her sister Krystal's wedding. Her wedding to Maggie's ex-fiance Will. Poor Maggie....she's been through a lot. She was so broken. Made to believe things about herself that stemmed from an unsavory tragic event that she experienced when she was 15. 
Maggie ends up meeting Asher during the wedding. We find out that Asher actually lives next door to Maggie's parents. He's a former rock-star with a past of his own. He see's the real Maggie. The Maggie beyond the broken spirit. The Maggie with a kind heart...that wants more then anything to be loved. Maggie & Asher's relationship really starts to blossom when Maggie begins to come to terms with the things that happened in her past. She learns to let go so that she and Asher can have something beautiful together. Overall, I found this book endearing. It’s sexy, passionate as well as tender and emotional. It involves a young woman’s journey from a past where innocence was violated resulting in years of unwarranted guilt & despair. It involves a painful secret, one that’s heart wrenching, so be prepared! 

LOVED THIS BOOK!

I hope that the rest of the series is as good as the first. I loved the story, how new details were revealed a little at a time. I highly recommend it!

Omg

Could not get through the 1st chapter!!!! The narrator talks with a pinched nose n wish it was read by someone/ANYONE else

Really Liked It

This is a story about healing from a traumatic past and learning to love and trust again. All of the characters in this story are struggling. I was cheering for Asher from the beginning. Poor Maggie needs all the love & help she can get.
Worth the credit or cash.
Narration was good also.

PHEWEEE, WHAT AN INTENSE, RAW & DRAMA FILLED RIDE

Maggie and Asher's love story is both beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time as the bad boy rock star slowly crumbles the walls that years worth of hurt, manipulation and pain has forced Maggie to build around her heart in order to survive the loss of so much. Constantly being taunted and labelled as being 'loose' and much worse she acts out the part..... but only Asher can glimpse the real woman underneath.

This is such a pain-filled journey of growth and discovery as truths are finally freed, revelations are shockingly discovered and hope finally sees the light of day as Maggie struggles through her past to claim not only her life back.... but her future happiness too. There's laughter, pain, anguish, sex and heartache but what you get at the end of it is a satisfaction that you've just listened to a book that was very skilfully written and narrated from three people's POV's so you get the full depth to the picture of just where everyone's heart and feelings are.

Worth a credit? Hell YEAH and I'm now off to listen to Lexi Ryan's second book in this remarkable, addictive and mouthwatering Series.... yaye lucky me!

Wow - an emotional book

I couldn't stop listening. The book was well written with great characters. The narration was good female and male. I have already downloaded book 2!

Love it!

I read this book years ago and found it on Audible. Listening to it made me remember how much I loved it when I read it. Definitely a must read and if you don't have time to sit and read it, listening to it is just as good.

Cute Story

I like how Lexi Ryan took an example of a situation (that is more common than we like to speak of) and brings the type of balance these characters need to move forward.

Great Story!

This was a great story. It was emotional and heartbreaking. Maggie suffered so much as a young girl. Asher enters her life and helps her learn to love again. I do think there was some things left unanswered.

Former bad girl and former bad boy. Can they be good together now.

Enjoyed the mix of characters. Asher and Maggie are great together and deserve to lose the past and embrace the future.
