This was not it Tessa. I love you still tho. This was weird to me from the start and then it just stayed weird and then batshit crazy there at the end.
Technically this was a DNF….
But I got 66% of the way in and just could not do it. The dirty mouthed virgins, the awful parents and hometown, the truth about Belmont’s traumas…. None of it sat well with me. I had such hope for them.

The Clarkson siblings books got worse and worse. Virgins boning in a church could not save it. Creepy upsetting codependency and deeply inappropriate relationships, and not in a fun or sexy way.

This was the most emotional and darkest of the four. The MC has such a beautiful soul and I love meeting people who are like him in real life but know it's hard for them to be around intense emotions. I love how Sage can just completely ground him. Then everyone came together in the end and I felt like it healed their family as a whole and they'll be a lot closer afterwards and I love endings like that.

I loved all the other books in this series but this final one was so over the top.

I devoured this book yesterday. Despite having a review copy, I bought the audiobook and started listening at work — a risk, considering I was pretty sure Sage and Belmont were going to totally ruin me. I made it through about 70% during the work day and I had plenty of surprises and feels along the way. But it was the last 15% or so where I found the most intense feels — and an ugly cry or two.
I still don’t have words for what this book did to my heart. I’ve been trying to come up with them for hours now, to no avail. I knew going in Too Beautiful to Break would be intense and, quite frankly, that it would probably break me. It did — but in the most perfect way possible. There’s something special about Sage and Belmont and the connection they share. Their story was all I wanted and more. I’m not going to get into all the details, though. The bottom line here is I think you just need to experience this book — and the rest of the series — on your own. It’s extraordinary. There’s a whole lot of heart poured into each book in the series and it definitely earned a place in mine along the way.
I’m so conflicted about this being the end of the Romancing the Clarksons series. I fell hard for these characters and loved celebrating their triumphs and commiserating with them during the tougher times. I’m a feeler when I read, but I swear this was a whole different level. I’m so happy with how this series ended, but I hate that it’s over. I guess I can always reread when I need more, right? I suspect fans of the Romancing the Clarksons series will love this book as much as I did. I wouldn’t change a single thing about it.

“Your heart asked mine. And mine was already begging.”
“Wherever you’re going, Sage, every time you walk into a strange room, remember that you might be the smallest person in it, but you’re the strongest and most beautiful. Right down to the deepest parts of your heart. But if you ever get scared or lost or lonely, know that I’m one phone call away. Whether it’s tomorrow or fifty years from where we’re standing, I’ll come. I’ll come before you know it.”
“Goodbye, my heartbeat.”
“There’s never been anyone like you, Belmont. There never will be again. How lucky am I that I get to love you?”
That was the thing about gaining strength from the ones who loved you. You held onto it wherever you went.
