HAILEY
One evening, two years’ worth of memories lost.
Under the pretense of recovery, my father sends me to an elite boarding college, but soon, my memories start rushing back, and it’s obvious I’m not at Lakeside to heal.
I’m here to hide.
Navigating the scattered past to decipher the threat lurking in the shadows is hard while I’m kept in the dark and even harder when he steals my focus. Crude, arrogant, and threatening, he draws me in, and the closer I get, the less I understand.
Waking up without memories is terrifying, but remembering the time I lost is infinitely worse.

Guilty by association—Hailey Scarlett Vaughn deserves pain.
The moment I see her, I want to wrap my fingers around her neck and squeeze…
No matter how big the temptation, I need to extract a key hidden in the depths of her mind first.
A key to my father’s freedom.
Hailey’s a pawn in a complex game of revenge. A tool in my hands, but as she starts to remember, I realize we’re both tangled in an intricate web of lies that tightens every day.
The harder I push to break her, the faster she breaks me.

Breaking Hailey is set in the same universe as Broken Rules and Broken Promises. You don't have to read the Broken Duet before diving into Breaking Hailey. However, some characters from the Broken Duet will make an appearance in this book.

Meh. Part one of two and ends on a cliff! I did love the start and the premise. Interesting characters and scenarios. Lots of potential. Yeah… but a few chapters in, after the not-so-meet-cute, both MCs start “Groundhoging” it. From here on it’s SSDD all the way. The same thoughts on repeat from both MCs. And not much more. She’s all “I’m not worthy of a hot guy like him…” He’s all “I’m a monster and don’t deserve her…” Things happen (or happened years ago… amnesia!) both nasty and unnecessarily detailed. Also, more snail-slow slow burn than a Disney movie. A few hurdles and lies and BOOM! Cliffhanger. So yeah, if you’re into listening “on the side” this might be a nice time-waster but it’s nothing that will keep you on your toes or chewing your nails.

Väldigt spännande. Lite twists & turns pga minnesförlusten. Cliffhanger...

very very possessive MMC. If that’s not your thing then this book is not for you. If you like it, then it’s definitely for you. The male narrator is a little aggressive and the female is a little too soft. Not my favourite but I still finished it.
