Brutal Play by Alison Rhymes

Audiobook Review:

I loathed Lorelai and what she did in Broken Play, but the redemption ARC was written so beautifully in her and Noah's story that you can't help but feel for her and all she had been through. I'm in no way making excuses for her actions and abhorrent behavior but you do understand her more, and why she did the things she did. Underneath it all, her intentions were to do the right thing by her mom and sister but she went about it in ALL the wrong ways. There is no world in which I condone cheating of any kind, but I am happy for Lorelai and Noah that they worked through their issues individually and as a couple, and came back together stronger than ever. They are building a family together and moving beyond the past. I think they both deserved the second chance they got.

CJ Bloom and Edward Black were amazing as this angsty, tormented couple. Diving into book 3 now!
