The last book in the Damaged Hearts series and man you don’t want to miss out on this one. Damanged Hearts is so good. Everything that started to unravel in the previous books for Jensen and Rhett will come to a head. You will love this one so much. Jensen and Rhett finally face down the family of secrets and you feel the lightness come over the couple as everything comes out even more. I love Jensen and how she handles everything she is faced. Rhett, if he hasn’t made you swoon over him yet in the other two books then he will in this one. I love Rhett and Jensen together. They are hot and sexy and will leave you fanning yourself by the end of this one. Damaged Hearts is a wonderful conclusion to this series that I just had to binge read.
This is the final installment of the Damaged Hearts Trilogy.
The conclusion to this story did not let me down. This book was told in both Rhett and Jensen’s POV.
Without spoiling the book, it wrapped up all of the twists and turns this story took. Rhett and Jensen’s relationship continued evolve. But, were they able to withstand all the issues and work past all the secrets they each kept? Or was the deception and revelation of all the secrets just too much for their relationship?
This book has a lot of the elements I look for, romance, suspense, drama, angst and it was steamy. You will definitely fall for Rhett with all his charisma and Jensen who is sweet and strong.
The only thing about the series that I didn’t like is that it was broken out in too three books, it definitely could have been one book.
In this last book of the Hearts trilogy, there is no big plot twist or surprises, just the unveiling of truth. Both Jensen and Rhett had been keeping secrets from each other, and when Jensen decides that she wants to stay with Rhett and try to have a long lasting relation with him, the secrets start to pop out. The plot slowly starts to unravel as all the conflicts work out, and we get a few minor surprises.
This last book was a little anti-climactic because most of what happened was expected. I found that Jensen and Rhett’s behavior was a bit messy in the beginning of the book; Jenssen was waffling about staying with Rhett or getting away, and Rhett wanted to solve the situation with his brother, his uncle, his stepmother, but he also waffled and didn’t take any positive action. I saw him mostly coming back and forth between his family and Jensen and reacting rather than acting. I found it ironic that even though Jensen was carrying the secret about her mother and her reasons for approaching Rhett in the beginning, she felt betrayed and made a ruckus when she learned that the guy who attacked her in the strip club was Rhett’s uncle and he hid the information. It was a case of pot meeting kettle.
The book was entertaining and the finale everything I was expecting to be. So satisfying when the bad guys get what they deserve!
Amazing series! I absolutely loved it! Couldn’t put it down, finished in a day. Secrets are toxic and Rhett’s and Jensen’s were definitely that! Jensen still tried to stay away from Rhett but he just wasn’t having it! Plus she needed him just as much! The two of them started telling each other some little secrets and they were working their way through them. But when two big secrets are revealed, Rhett thought for sure she would never forgive him. But when he finds out Jensen’s secret, he actually went after her. Jensen didn’t think she would she’s Rhett again but there he was. The two of them were meant for each other and they proved that, by working through everything together. I just really loved their story!
This is the final installment of the Damaged Hearts Series… The conclusion to Rhett’s and Jensen’s story.
Here, all the hidden truths will come to light… and what I like most about this one is that it’s dual POV.
We’ll have a clearer glimpse about their struggles as individuals and as a couple… I can only imagine how hard it must be for Jensen to face the person who assaulted her and the person who was the catalyst for her revenge plot… and I can only imagine how difficult it must be for Rhett to accept the fact that just because people are your blood doesn’t mean they’re family. Ya’ll curious yet?
So much drama, frustration and sweetness in this one…
How can anyone survive living at the center of a time bomb. Rhett and Jensen are on the cusp of having the life of their dreams, when their happily ever after starts to unravel. Is their love strong enough to weather the storm clouds that are closing in? Murphy dares to explore love at it’s most flawed. Damaged Hearts sorts through the ugliest of baggage to create something beautifully reborn.
“Who knew Rhett Montgomery, the man I viewed as my mortal enemy, would turn into the person I would depend on the most?”
Damaged Hearts is the third installment in the Damaged Hearts Series and it cannot be read as a standalone. If you haven’t read Her Defiant Heart, then you need to start there.
With that being said, Damaged Hearts picks up right after His Wasted Heart ends. Jensen has seen the one person that can rattle her the most and with that, comes a secret that Rhett has. And it’s a whopper.
Jensen and Rhett are getting closer to each other but with Jensen’s secrets and lies hanging over them, it’s a constant battle. Add to the mix with Rhett having a secret and it’s a recipe for disaster. Yet, it’s clear these two belong together.
I’ve said from the beginning just how sweet Rhett is and I maintain that. His love for Jensen has involved and he’s super patient with her. Honestly, if I didn’t like her so much, I’d be mad at him for allowing her to treat him the way she does. But I do like her and I know she’s scared so I easily got over it.
I will say that Rhett’s father completely redeems himself in this book. I always got the sleazy vibe from him but towards the end I came to understand him a bit more.
Overall, I enjoyed Damaged Hearts and the series. If you are looking for sweet revenge to lovers’ story, then this is the series for you! I’ve had fun with it and am sad that it’s over but I got what I wanted from both Rhett and Jensen and I’m happy where it ended.
DAMAGED HEART is the third and final instalment in Monica Murphy’s contemporary, new adult DAMAGED HEARTS erotic, romance trilogy focusing on college students Rhett Montgomery, and Jennifer ‘Jensen’ Fanelli. DAMAGED HEARTS should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events, and cliff hanger of book two HIS WASTED HEART.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Jensen and Rhett) DAMAGED HEARTS continues to focus on the secrets and lies between our leading couple. No longer determined to destroy the woman who abandoned her as a child, Jensen settles into her relationship with Rhett Montgomery only to come face to face with the deviant who almost destroyed her life. Secrets continue to build as the dysfunctional Montgomery family dynamics force both Jensen and Rhett to bury the truth behind more lies. The prospect of revealing more devastating information could blow the family apart, as Jensen and Rhett battle with the knowledge that infidelity is a by-product of the family DNA. The push and pull of their relationship, compounded by secrets and lies force Rhett and Jensen to reconsider what it is they want from one another, as Rhett’s family life begins to implode.
DAMAGED HEARTS is the culmination of three instalments wherein the growing angst and building anxiety, intrigue and butterflies surrounding the secrets and the lies falters in the face of several anticlimactic conflict resolutions. When all of the information, knowledge and secrets are revealed, the anticipated reaction and backlash are not forthcoming. There were no apparent histrionics or theatrics for the reader to observe as most of the confrontations were handled behind the scenes. There was a quiet acceptance and acknowledgment that no one is perfect, and life must go on. Monica Murphy’s slow reveal of secrets, and the bold and colorful characters will captivate your attention until the final reveal.
The end is here! The final book in the Damaged Hearts trilogy, aptly named Damaged heart is now here!
What will happen when all the lies and secrets finally come out? Will Jensen and Rhett find their happily ever after? Are things finally falling into place, even when not all their secrets out? The feels and angst!
I loved seeing Jensen and Rhett as a real couple and realizing what they truly felt for each other. Together they seemed unstoppable. But with secrets and lies still holding them back, could they truly be happy together?
I really enjoyed Rhett and Jensen’s journey, heartbreaking and emotional as it was. This series and the finale were perfect in so many ways and emotional in others. So much has happened and when things really begin to emerge, the author did a great job on how she handled it. I loved the characters and their journey.

Monica Murphy ROCKED this series. I absolutely loved it. I can’t recommend this series enough!!
What can I say except that this was the perfect finish to Rhett and Jensen’s story. I devoured this story in a couple of hours. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book and it didn’t disappoint!!
All the questions we were left with after the first two books are answered in this book. There was even some stuff revealed that I wasn’t expecting. I loved how everything was wrapped up in this story. We aren’t left with any more questions.
This is NOT a standalone novel. You HAVE to read books 1 & 2 first or this won’t make any sense. I did LOVE that this book is told in Dual POV. I loved being in both of their heads. I thought the flow and pace of the story was perfect. I also liked that there is no lost time. This story picks up right where book 2 (His Wasted Heart) ends.
I can’t say a lot about the storyline, so all I’m going to say is go out and start 1- clicking this series. You won’t be sorry!! If you are a fan of New Adult romance stories this is probably one of my favorites out there.
Definitely a MUST READ!!!
