Ep 43 These Books Ripped Our Hearts Out! Break For Me, Survive For Me, LIVE FOR ME Summary and review!!!!

Liz and Ashley are back from their holiday hibernation, ready to talk about everything Broken Bounty Series by Ember Nicole. Today’s episode is the spoiler-y follow up to our spoiler FREE author interview that dropped in December. 

We discuss the major differences between the first two books and book three, Live For Me, the newest release in this dark romance rollercoaster of a series. We talk about what makes this storyline so unique, why it ripped our hearts and souls out, and the expert character development we just cannot get enough of. We also give mini summaries of each book, drop some favorite quotes, and discuss our favorite and least favorite plot points and characters. 

And, as per usual, we’ve got a holiday faves and fails edition to catch y’all up on what we’ve been doing, with a special section to shout out spicy Christmas novellas! And a smash or pass animated dad / Skarsgard monster edition.
