AN EMOTIONAL FRIENDS TO LOVER STANDALONE by Callie Anderson

Ethan is the boy who climbed into my bedroom every night.

He's everything I love.
Laced with everything I despise.

He's every happy memory.
And every shattered dream.

He's my everything.
But he broke every part of me.

I'm supposed to hate him.
But I can't.
I don't know how.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh the angst!! Loved it!! Huge 5 stars for Broken Dreams!!!

I have to admit. I do love me some Callie Anderson. Ever since she broke on the scene with Endless Love Letter I decided I would follow her to the moon and back. There is just something in her writing that calls to me. She is the master story teller and she sucks me into her world. I just cannot get enough!! She always brings the angst factor and Broken Dreams is no exception! I felt like the entire time I was reading my heart was stuck in my throat. Broken Dreams is a heartbreaking tale that had me rooting for Leslie and Ethan but it felt like fate would always work against them. This is a complete standalone that is told past and present tense.

Leslie first fell in love with Ethan when he came into her bedroom window to escape the hell of his home life. His dad was abusive and it was unimaginable what he had to endure at his father's hand. Since they were ten years old they were inseparable. Leslie had inspirations to make it as a professional dancer and attend the prestige Julliard School of Dance once she graduated high school. Her and Ethan had a plan and they would escape and they would have their happily ever after.

Fast forward eight years and Leslie returns home and to everything she left behind. With graduation on the horizon she thought she had her life planned out. Her dreams where never meant to be and returning home was the last thing she ever wanted to do. That would mean having to face the demons she left behind. It means facing Ethan after all these years. My heart just ached for them. They were destined to be together. They had the epic love story.

What happens to make it all fall apart? Eight years is a long time to run from your soul mate. What happens after all these years apart. Can Leslie find it in her heart to move on? How will the past effect the future? Can they have their second chance at love? You will just need to read Broken Dreams to find out!! This is an epic love story that needs to be read! Another HUGE 5 star read and one I HIGHLY recommend!!

Broken Dreams
By Callie Anderson

Ok so I've sort of fallen in love with Callie Anderson and I'm sad that I have now read all of her words. May we have another Callie?!

Ok- the book. Broken Dreams. Up first, love the nick name freckles. #win

This was a happy book for me. I finished invisible love letters and endless love letters yesterday and I am still recovering. I needed a book that made me happy. This was it.

It was nice to explore Leslie and who she was, and where she came from. Her story was amazing. Her life was challenged in all sorts of ways and it made her strong and loving. I didn't realize this was the Leslie from Love Letters so when I saw Lyras name- I cried. Damn you Callie!

Anyway ~ I adored her love story with Ethan and recommend reading this book to anyone. Especially those still hurting from her former words. It's a second chance romance that has you becoming the cheerleader for future. It's a second chance for almost all of her relationships and just a great turn around book.

Go read it peeps!

BANGOR BELLE BOOK BESTIES..
Oh Wow, this book gives you all the feels, it gives you all the heartache, it gives you all the tears and it gives you an amazing roller coaster of emotions you won't soon forget. I could say so much about this story but i really don't want to give too much away or spoil this experience.
Leslie and Ethan first meet at 8 years old, he's the boy next door but his life is no fairytale. Then again Leslie's life isn't so great either, she has an overbearing mother that pushes Leslie constantly to be the best of the best at her ballerina classes. To become a top class ballerina, nothing less is acceptable. As the years progress Leslies dreams of becoming what her mother wants becomes harder for her as she starts to question life. The one thing she is sure about is her love for Ethan and his love for her. It all comes crashing down when a tragedy occurs that changes their paths forever.
Now eight years later Leslie has to return home, and is absolutely dreading it, and desperately hoping she won't run into Ethan, she hates him for abandoning her, yet she can't stop her heart still wanting him.

This book is told in both past and present. I couldn't put it down. Ethan was just everything you want from a hot sexy book boyfriend and more!! Leslie was such a likable character, my heart twisted for her. This is their journey, of losing and fighting to survive, to reclaiming their lives, of love, of forgiveness, and learning that sometimes the heart wants what it wants whatever the cost! How each of them have dealt with the cards they were dealt is written so emotionally you can't help but to be fully captured and invested in this couple. There were so many times i had tears without even being aware i was so wrapped up in the pages, and yet the author keeps us guessing as to the outcome. Ethan rocks it, what an amazing guy!!! Life doesn't always go as we plan or dream, but this book truly is a lesson that Broken Dreams can sometimes be for the perfect reason and turn out to be your true destiny !!! Grab this book you won't regret it!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Really needs an editor
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2017

Again, I’m a sucker for friends to lovers and second chances and it seems I’ve been reading a lot of those tropes lately. Some are more original others; many seem to follow a formula with a lot of clichés thrown in. Sadly, this story falls into the latter.

More than anything the book really needs an editor/proofreader. There are numerous grammar/spelling issues as well as repeated use of incorrect words, e.g. peripheral/periphery, carnage/carcass, condescending/condensing, etc.

I liked the relationship between Ethan & Leslie and the history they shared. There was a whole lot of angst involved, maybe just a bit too much for me.

I was an o.k. read. It certainly has potential but this one just didn’t do it for me.

This was an amazing read. I will recommend to my reading friends for sure. To thoughts who have lost a dream life will bring new ones every day you just have to have a open mind and heart to see them.

5.0 out of 5 stars HEARTWARMING, A MUST READ 2ND CHANCE LOVE
Reviewed in Australia on June 5, 2017

After spending the long weekend reading Callie Anderson's Fatal Love Series, ILL & ELL etc, I was pleasantly surprised to realise that the heroine in this story was Emilia's best friend Leslie and we finally get to unlock all her reasoning for the many questionable choices Leslie made in IlL & ELL.
I just devoured these books over 3 days and seriously fell in love with each of the characters .
I hate spoilers, so with that in mind, Broken Dreams can be read as a standalone, but if you are a fan of Callie Anderson, you will want to read the other two stories as it will enhance your understanding of Leslie and the 6-8 years that she spends away from home and her first love, Ethan, the boy who ultimately broke more than just her heart.
This second chance love story and the determination of our H in winning his girl back is just heartwarming and I know I will remember each of these characters for a long time to come.
I loved these books so much that I purchased all of the Authors books even after reading them on KU for free.

I love these reads friends to lovers with a second chance thrown in, what's not to love.

We get the story from past and present which I really don't mind as it was relevant for their story.

Broken Dreams isn't just about what could have been between Leslie and Ethan, but their dream careers that are broken too.

Leslie and Ethan meet when they're kids and their bond is instant, Ethan doesn't have a easy home life so when he climbs through Leslie window he finds solace and happiness in dreaming of what the future might hold. However, things don't work out as they'd dreamed and when dreams are broken lives change. Now fast forward eight years and Leslie is home when she see's Ethan again, things aren't always as straightforward but nothing ever is.

I liked both Leslie and Ethan, but I hated their parents. I love these types of reads, plenty of emotions and I've been massive Callie Hart fan since Love Letter Duet.
