I knew once I listened to this book I would end up loving Brody. I actually felt so bad for him in this book because he didn't have any idea what was going on and even once he found out it was insulting to him. I was glad to see these two work things out and realize that love is all they need to be happy. I enjoyed getting to know the other London friends in this book. Leslie was hilarious. Can't wait to start her book. I will admit this series might have a little more drama than I like in my books but I'm still really enjoying it!

The narration was again just ok, nothing stands out positive or negative for me.

Another Excellent audio in the London Lovers!

A Broken Us takes us right back to where Becoming Us ended and is an excellent continuation, moving us where we want to go - London and its mad cast of characters. The book was very emotional with some very rough roads for Finley and Brody. I really appreciate Amy Daws' writing and her realism. The end of every book shouldn't always be tied up with a perfect bow on it and she appreciates that. Sometimes your HEA isn't the story you've written for yourself, but the one that finds you and shows you a new way to peace and joy.

The narration was good, but the male voices need some work. Overall a great listen - highly recommend!

Not for me

The main character whines so much, I just could not take it. Killed it an hour in.

Back and Forth

Dang that one was tough. I think I cried through the last 5 chapters.

The one thing about this book that I didn't like is all the back and forth. It felt like every time Finley was willing to walk away was the only time Brody was willing to listen or fight for her. Any time Fin was trying to fight for him or their relationship was when Brody would run in the other direction. I really got tired of that.

Not my favorite Daws book, but it got better...

The beginning was good and the end was terrific. The middle however did drag a little long. I am not a fan of stories that are dragged out because the female lead has a secret she won't share and holds that secret way too long. It seems like forced angst. I am so glad the the beginning was good and I stuck around until the end of the book though- the end really brought things together. It was emotional and beautiful.
Emma Lysy gives a solid performance. I think I would like to hear another book before I decide if she was a "go to narrator" for me. Her voice was a little rushed and whiny in places for the female lead but her secondary characters were great. The accents for both the male and females were spot on.

3 Meh Stars

I wanted to love this book… but it’s the same narrator as book one… I don’t know what it is about her voice; I just played it on 2.5x speed. I wanted to listen through because well I paid for it.

I loved Brody throughout this whole book. But I find he isn’t the same Brody described in the later books (which I read first and LOVED). But he is the one of the reasons I fought through the narrator’s voice. It’s not a bad book if you liked book one, you will like book 2.

Fin… I have a love, hate relationship. I just found her character to be selfish and maybe a little immature. No I am not heartless I get her struggles but she didn’t anyone in either. And that is what I don’t understand. She has this huge wonderful support system that would fall all over themselves for her, and she didn’t even give them a chance.
I don’t like one darn thing she did in this book. Well except when she is with her sister. Those were the best and saddest parts of the whole book for me.

Now please don’t think I didn’t like the book because I liked parts of it. I am not scared to give a lower star rating if I didn’t like the book.
I fully believe it was the narrator for me, and maybe that I didn’t really like Fin’s character as a whole, but honestly the rest of the book is aces.
I <3 the stuffing out of Frank!! As well as the rest of the crazy cast.

*All my Reviews are 100% honest and my own.*

Probably skip it

I am a huge Amy Daws fan but this was a real disappointment. It was a drag through tragedy, immaturity, depression, and more tragedy. Plenty of triggers as well in this one. Just because it has an HEA in the epilogue doesn’t really make it a romance. Too much of a downer for me.

Another great installment in a fav series!

Listening to the London Lovers series is like revisiting old friends. I don’t relisten to books often but this series, as well as the follow on with the Harris Brothers, is a favorite of mine!

A lesson in love

Wow, what a heart wrenching story with not one but two tragic events. Please grab a box of tissues when reading/listening to this book.

This audiobook was really frustrating to listen to. I’m so glad that Brody and Finley worked out, of course. But, DANG, she was MADDENING. Her behavior just didn’t match what we know about their relationship. I know romances are supposed to be filled with some angst and misunderstandings, but seriously, WHO DOES THAT?? Leave the perfect love of your life without telling him the truth about your fertility?? Just stupid and unrealistic, in my opinion.
