Review originally posted at The Book Enthusiast: http://thebookenthusiast.net/broken-juliet-starcrossed-2-by-leisa-rayven-review.

Broken Juliet by Leisa Rayven was one of my most anticipated releases of the year. After reading Bad Romeo I had one of those “Where have you been all my life?!” moments about Rayven. I have been calling her the Queen of Angst for a while now, and I knew if the conclusion of Cassie and Ethan’s story was anything like the beginning I would need the wine and Xanax handy. Broken Juliet was easily one of the best books I have read this year. Rayven did a masterful job of creating an emotionally charged and memorable story that stole my heart. The series as a whole has definitely been added to my all-time favorites list.

While Bad Romeo focused on the fact that Ethan broke Cassie’s heart, Broken Juliet actually showed us how he broke it. The story starts exactly where it left off with Cassie seriously contemplating giving Ethan one more chance. Once again the scenes alternate between the present and the past. Rayven does a fantastic job of ending each chapter at just the right place, leaving the reader frantically flipping through the pages to find out what happened next. The chapters work together seamlessly to give us a full picture of what happened between Cassie and Ethan and what the future has in store for them.

The Cassie we see in this book has some serious doubts to overcome. Her heart wanted Ethan, but as the title of the book suggests he had broken her. As we learned more details about their past, my heart was aching for her. Ethan didn’t simply hurt her. He crushed her. How do you learn to trust someone who has done that to you? Her struggle felt real and honest. I will admit that a part of me wanted to see her scream at him and maybe punch him in the face. Not terribly mature, but he would have deserved it. Cassie was such an intelligent and strong woman, and it was easy to empathize with her. Should she listen to her head or her heart?

Ethan. Oh, Ethan. Let me start by saying that I have always liked Ethan. I haven’t always liked his behavior, but as our hero I am a fan. In the present day scenes of Broken Juliet we saw a much different Ethan. He was remorseful and devastated over how he had hurt Cassie. Ethan was determined to win her back at all costs. I appreciated that he understood it would take time. His patience and genuine adoration for Cassie won me over. There was no doubt in my mind that she was his heart and soul. Once he truly let his feelings shine through, there was no stopping him. Some of those journal entries simply gutted me.

I cannot stress enough how perfectly Rayven married the past and the present in this story. Seeing what Cassie went through because of Ethan’s self-doubt was a difficult pill to swallow. The push and pull between them was exhausting at times. Their love was such an emotional rollercoaster, but somewhere in my heart I just knew that they belonged together. Not only did Cassie and Ethan have crazy chemistry (I thought my Kindle was going to catch on fire in some parts!), but they also had such a fun way of bantering and interacting with each other that was incredibly endearing. The connection between them was undeniable.

Rayven deserves a standing ovation for this book and the series as a whole. Her writing style is wonderful. Cassie and Ethan’s story drew me in from the very beginning and never let go. I enjoyed watching how they changed and grew from the first book to this one, especially Ethan. Love is never easy, and Cassie and Ethan are certainly proof of that. Broken Juliet was a delicious mix of angst, steam, and raw emotion that I felt on every single page. I can’t wait for Elissa’s book, and I hope we will see a little of Cassie and Ethan in there. Kudos to Rayven on another incredible story. This is one series you absolutely don’t want to miss.

Broken Juliet edition by Leisa Rayven Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

In part, it's my fault. I didn't realize it was going to be a romance novel. The sexual content was not as super explicit as some things, but it was very clearly there...and discussed a lot.
It is an interesting concept and I originally picked it up as I thought it might be a fun thing to tie into a Romeo and Juliet school unit. After the first page, I realized that would NEVER happen. The vulgar language (not just sexual, but the cursing) begins immediately and there is little to no reprieve.
Cassie has flash back to her time as a theatre student in which she is sudo ridiculed for still being a virgin at 19 and is very aggressive in wanting to have sex with her lead partner, Ethan. After a point, it gets...well, gross. Even as a romance novel, I feel that there is very little actual story happening. There's more of a "sex, sex, sex, and more sex." It's less of developing a relationship and more of a sex fest. In the end, I find it has very little to do with the story of Romeo and Juliet. I found that I didn't even feel comfortable reading it out in public. I had begun to read the sequel, but was distracted by another story. So, I never finished the sequel. I'm kind of glad I didn't.
When I read, I want a story, not porn with a little bit of character thrown in.
I wouldn't recommend this book.
I cannot begin to have the words to express how I feel about this series, so please bear with me while I try to do this review.

BROKEN JULIET is the continuation of the story of Cassie Taylor and Ethan Holt from BAD ROMEO. Cassie and Ethan's is an amazing love story. Ms Rayven has brought to life the joys of finding first love and the devastation of losing it, the ups and downs and the emotional roller coaster ride of catapulting headfirst down the bumpy pathway of love.

This review may contain spoilers of BAD ROMEO so if you haven't read it, begin there.

Ethan is working hard to show Cassie how much he has changed and that he is ready to give their love a chance for real. Cassie, however cannot escape the pain from their past relationship. Every time Ethan makes steps forward, Cassie is bombarded with memories of the choices that Ethan made over and over again back when they were in school. Moving forward is something Cassie must do, but she cannot decide if she is able to do it with Ethan or without him.

The author shares Ethan and Cassie's love through the present day as well as peeks of their past from Cassie's diary written when their young love went down in spectacular flames. It is the perfect format to draw readers in and a great vehicle to connect people with these wonderful characters.

Ethan and Cassie's story holds such a huge place in my heart. It is filled with pain and longing, struggle and survival. But most of all, this love story provides hope; hope that wrongs can be righted, the past can be repaired, and love can conquer all.
