If You Break by J. Rose, Jessalyn Thorn

4.0

“That monster took something that wasn’t his. Your life belongs to you, and if it’s the last thing I do on this mortal plane, I will convince you that you deserve the fucking world.”

I was lucky to get an ARC copy of Jessalyn Thorn's book If You Break.

Jessalyn Thorn is J Rose's paranormal romance/fantasy pen name.

J Rose is an auto-buy author for me. So, I was excited to try something different from her.

If You Break is an urban fantasy ménage romance and is book one in The Redeemed series. I have not read any urban fantasy before, so this was a first for me.

I enjoyed the book's premise and thought the story itself was unique.

My heart broke for Lexi and everything she has been through and experienced. She went through absolute hell. How much pain and suffering can one endure?

Even after everything she has endured, the only reason Lexi keeps fighting is to protect and care for sister Eve.

I loved Daniel and would have been perfectly happy if he stayed her only love interest. The way he cared for Lexi when she had that panic attack was just the sweetest. The more I learned about his character, the easier it was to fall in love with him. My heart broke for him when I learned about the heartbreak and loss he has suffered.

There is something about two broken people that gets me every time, and I could not help but love Lexi and Daniel.

I had a love-hate relationship when it came to Valentine. I am unsure what to make of him. He has not done anything to win me over yet. It will be interesting to see whether my thoughts on him change with book two.

I am looking forward to seeing what happens next in book two of the Redeemed Series.

Thank you so much to Jessalyn Thorn and @valentine_pr_ for this ARC
