5+ “YOU’RE HER LOBSTER” STARS!!!
This book touched me. It touched me so much that I bowled my eyes out. When a book can make me so sad and heartbroken but then leave me so happy and with a huge smile on my face by the end, I know I encountered something amazing. Fragile Truths was that. It was hard, incredible, unique, heartbreaking…and oh so fulfilling.
“I don’t want her, I want you, whoever you are today.”
I’m not gonna lie, I went into this book already knowing the triggers, so I was scared. I was afraid I wouldn’t get into the story just waiting for the worst to happen. How wrong I was!!! From page one I was hooked, I was so into it, I couldn’t take my eyes of the pages. And even knowing the train wreck that was coming I felt every single thing the characters went through, I cried with them and smiled with them. They affected my emotions so much that by the end I was so glad they got the perfect HEA, because they truly deserved that.
“I wonder how someone can feel like they are breaking when there’s nothing left to break.”
Lexi. Gosh my heart truly broke for her in this book, what happens to her shouldn’t happen to any woman, ever. But it is in the hardships that we truly see a person’s strength and she was so strong!!! Now Jax, wow he was something else. He mended mine and Lexi’s heart, that’s how amazing he was. He grew so much in this book, he showed a whole new side and I was not expecting it. I loved that he went to get better first, that he fought to be deserving of her love and then how supportive, protective and loving he was. He was always there for Lexi when she needed it and I will never forget this amazing hero.
“But one thing she doesn’t realize is that I’m patient. I’ll be there for her every second of every day. And even when she’s at her lowest, even when she asks me to go, I’ll always find a way to be there.”
After that ending in the last book I loved that in this one they took things slow, getting to know each other again. The slower burn created the perfect tension and it really let them shine more as a couple. The whole journey they went through in both books was so beautiful, I feel like they went through every possible stage as a couple, they grew so much individually and together, it was truly magical and inspiring to see.
“When I promised you forever, I meant now and always.”
This author is newer to me but I will seriously read anything she comes out it. Her writing is so amazing and she approaches sensitive topics in such a beautiful and healing way. I find her stories so unique and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
Wow! This book was amazing and emotional! At every turn of a page the hurt and angst seemed to leak out of the page.
These characters have been through so much that at the end of this book they have come out stronger than ever.
If you want an emotional read than read this whole series and you’ll fall in love with these characters just like I did.
MY HEART!!
This duet tore my heart out and then put it back together again. Jax was special from go and I couldn’t help but love him. Lexi and Jax’s journey is a rough one dedicated to showing us that there is a life after loss.
It may be long and painful to get there but we can find happiness after heartbreak. This book was raw, real, and refreshing all at once. A deeply emotional read not soon forgotten.
I don’t even know how to feel after finishing Fragile Truths, my head is a mess, I’m sad and happy at the same time, this book was amazing. I cried, and laughed, and sometimes it was too much… I had to stop reading and take a break. It is a very sad and emotional book, but also it is beautiful and makes you think and see the world in a different way, even if it is fiction there is people that actually go through what Lexi and Jax went through.
“I never knew that a woman’s cries could shatter a heart while it still beats like she’s shattered mine.”
My heart broke fro Jax so many times, he was amazing, supportive and strong, I usually fall for the bad guys, but this time Jax stole my heart. If you’re looking for a funny, sexy hero with a giant heart, Jax is the one, I don’t want to sound salty lol, but I wish a man like him exist in real life, he is so perfect.
I was so exited to read about Lexi since book one ( Fragile Scars) she was always so happy, positive, and full of life, it was so sad and hard to read about her going through so much pain. I’m so happy she got the happy ending she deserved.
“I love your pain and your heart. I love every part of you.” My voice breaks into a sob. “Even the broken parts?” “What you find broken, I find beautiful.”
Jax and Lexi’s story started in Fragile Lies and continues in the third book of the Fragile Hearts series, Fragile Truths.
Jax’s character went through so much growth during the story, it was amazing to read. This book made me understand why he was the way he was. His adoration and support for Lexi knew no end, I was so impressed by him.
Lexi is so strong, and I admired her for her courage and faith in Jax.
This couple went through so much. My heart hurt for them, but I believe they needed to experience this to get their HEA. No couple deserves it more than these two.
Like the first book, Fragile Truths is an emotional read, and the chances are that it will make you cry, but there are also many fun, lighthearted moments, so it doesn’t get too dark.
If you love a beautifully written, angsty story of personal growth and overcoming trauma, this is one for you. But don’t start with Fragile Truths, begin with the second book in the series but the first part of Jax and Lexie’s story, Fragile Lies. Or even better, start with Fragile Scars and work your way through the series.
I received a copy from this book and am leaving this honest review voluntarily.
This book is part two and the final book of Jax and Lexi’s story, their story begins in Fragile Lies.
First off, this book does have a HEA but there is a lot of heartache before you get there, heartache that I didn’t expect. That actually made this book so much better in the end when the HEA came about. So fair warning you will ball your eyes out, full on ugly cry. Personally I cried through most of the last 1/3 of the book, granted certain aspects probably hit me a bit hard because of my own personal experience (feel free to ask me if you want, I just don’t want to ruin any of the story within my review).
In addition to the heartache there is a lot of healing that is done in this book, for both Jax and Lexi. This book wraps up their story in such a beautiful way. And don’t worry, there is plenty of sexy time in this book too. There is also a bit of a teaser for Gabe’s HEA that left me excited for his book.
OMG!! I MISSED JAX AND LEXI SO MUCH AND COULDN’T WAIT TO READ THE REST OF THEIR STORY. BUTTTTTTTTTT YOU BROKE MY HEART IN CHAPTER 24!!
Thank you so much for letting me read this amazing story. As hard as it was, it was amazing!!!
The attraction that they had before, just poured from the book as I was reading it, and you could feel it in every part that you read in their story.
Lexi and Jax have split up (from the previous book), and they need time to themselves. Well, JAX decided that, cause he didn’t want Lexi hurt or even worse watch her die, like some others he’s watched in his life.
Lexi is beside herself when she finds out some news, but with the support of her bestie, and her parents, she can make it work.
UNTIL JAX RETURNS HOME. Jax realises that he made the biggest mistake letting her go, and wants to try things again, once he gets his head straight. But Lexi needs to tell him her news. It’s big news.
How will Jax react?
Will he want her after he hears this?
Can they make it work?
Can they stay with the no sex policy that Lexi put in place? How long will that last, lol!
Some of my fave quotes from the book:
1. That pull, the need we have for each other is there between us. – And you can feel from the very beginning.
2. “I’m here to piece it back together. Permanently.” – Jax you better fix it and make it right!
3. Chapter 24 – BROKE MY HEART!! I cried so much!!!
4. “Well, I’m celebrating with a mojito and you’re just going to watch.” – I would too Lexi, I would too!
Fragile Truths is the third story in Fragile Hearts Series, and the heartbreaking conclusion to Jax and Lexi’s story. I couldn’t wait to read this, and find out what was going to happen between these two. It was beautifully written, expressive, and tragic. Jax is messed up, he thought letting Lexi go would be for the best, but he can’t stop thinking/missing her. Lexi is hurt from the way Jax treated her, and wary about letting him back into her life. You could feel every emotion that the characters did.
There were times I had to stop reading, and wait for my tears to stop so I could see the pages again.
This series is a must read!!
This was a very well written story that was filled with emotion. It was engaging because I wanted them to be together even after everything that happened in the previous book. The characters were exceptional because neither was perfect but both were fascinating – more so because they were flawed. The story was heartbreaking at times but such a satisfying read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Oh my poor poor little heart! I needed a good cry in a book and did this one deliver it. So be warned people, have tissues handy.
I absolutely love this series. I am so happy I have been able to read these and Lilian Harris has so graciously given me copies to review.
As I said before Lexi and Jax are my favorite. They are such a beautiful couple. To see how far they came in this book and all the stuff they have to overcome was incredible. Jax oh man oh man how he has changed in this one, I loved him so much. To see the man he became just melted my heart.
Then Lexi oh my heart just broke for her, yours will too when you read this, but gosh her strength and love out shown in this one. I don’t think I have cried this much in a book in awhile. I love and hate when books make me cry, but it goes to show how well the author writes cuz I feel so hard for the characters.
This book does have a HEA and has some triggers that I won’t mention as Lilian mentions them in the beginning of the book.
5⃣
recommendation
Ahh this book was exactly what I needed after the cliffhanger in Fragile Lies. It broke me for sure. My heart hurt for Jax and Lexi and everything they experienced. I literally cried, and I’m not a crier! But my heart was also put back together by the end and I am so happy with their ending. This book was sexy, steamy, heartbreaking, sad and happy. I absolutely loved their story. Jax and Lexi are so perfect together. Jax is patient with Lexi and everything she went through. Lexi was strong and selfless, doing what she thought was best for Jax, but he never gave up on her. Their love and connection is so strong.
This is the second part of Jax and Lexi’s story. This book has all the feels. Jax battles PTSD and fears everyone he loves will die, so he pushed Lexi away. Lexi is very untrusting because she caught her ex-fiance cheating. These two broken people decide to take a friends with benefits label. The emotions start getting thick, so Jax runs. Lexi’s best friend is getting married to one of Jax’s best friends, so they still have to see each other. Jax finally decides he needs to seek help and starts going to counseling. Lexi finds out she is pregnant and decides to keep it from him and just settle on being a single parent. Jax finds that living without her isn’t an option and starts pursuing her. They start a very emotional journey, of love, loss, endurance, and all they face only make them stronger. All of this series is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. HEA! Bravo Lilian!
I received an advance copy, in return for a voluntary and honest review
All I can say is GET READY. Part 2 does not let up on the emotional roller coaster of Jax and Lexi. The characters and there story are well written. Watching Jax battle his demons and grow into the man we all know he is was heartbreaking and inspiring. Lexi has her own demons but they realized together They were stronger.
Fragile Truths by Lilian Harris is a contemporary romance. This is the third book in the Fragile Hearts series.
I absolutely love Lilian’s books! This book took me on an emotional roller coaster. Lilian did an amazing job making me feel all the emotions that Lexi and Jax were feeling. I had to stop many times throughout the book for a breather because I couldn’t stop crying. This book gave me all the feels. This is a MUST READ!!!
I cannot wait for the next book in the series Fragile Pieces to be released so I can get Gabe and Mia’s story.
I would highly recommend this book if you love contemporary romance, second chance romances, or romances in general.
Fragile Truths is book three in the Fragile Hearts Series. It’s a continuation of Jax and Lexi’s story from book two Fragile Lies and you need to read with Fragile Lies first. In this one, Jax is still battling his demons. I was glad to see he was trying harder in this one. I was so rooting for a happy ending for Lexi and Jax but oh boy do that have to go through a lot to get there. These two go through so much that at times I wanted to just give them a hug. This one is a good read. It’s an emotional read that will pull at your heartstrings.
This is the 3rd book I’ve read written by Lilian Harris; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.

h: Lexi
H: Jax
(Dual POVs)
Jax and Lexi have gone almost two months without talking to each other when they see each other at Lilah and Damian’s engagement party. Jax has been going to therapy to better himself but still doesn’t feel like he’s where he needs to be mentally. Lexi doesn’t tell Jax about the pregnancy immediately.
I lovedddd Jax and Lexi. They have so much passion together. Knowing what was going to happen from the trigger warning made it a bit nerve wracking cause I was on edge waiting for the heartache. I did not see that double whammy coming I would give Jax my heart if I could, cause that right there, is a truly amazing man.
Favorite Quotes:
”And at first I hid, cowering away from the glow of your sunlight, but slowly I began to want more, until the dark didn’t hold me captive anymore- because you did.” -Jax
”And I also kind of want to rub in the fact that we’re together. So if I flip you on the table and start eating you out, just go with it.” -Jax
I’m here to be whatever she needs, whenever she needs it. And though I’m hurting too, hurting badly, she comes first. She always will. -Jax
This book broke my heart and put it back together piece by piece!!
This is the second part and conclusion for Lexi and Jax’s story and it was so emotional. These two have struggle so much to get their HEA, but their struggles have made them stronger as a couple and as human beings.
I love how Jax’s has taking matters into his own hands to get better and heal past emotional wounds. I love how he never gives up and is there for Lexi when she most needed him. I just love his character so much.
Lexi, my hearth broke for her in this story. After everything that has happened to her, she is finally getting her happy ever after when tragedy strikes again. She is lost in a very dark place and the only one who can bring her back is Jax.
This is a fantastic series and I definitely recommend reading it!!
This is a beautifully written love story with strong characters in Lexi and Jax. The author takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride as she leads them on a heartbreaking journey. Her scenes are played out in vivid detail and she does a fantastic job bringing the story to life with her descriptive writing. This was the perfect ending to their romance. I loved and would highly recommend this book/series.
