A heartbreaking but equally heartwarming and emotionally raw conclusion to a beautifully written story of love, loss and life
Fragile truths is the concluding part of Jax and Lexi’s story, and what a story this is !!!!
Its super steamy and hot as hell. You will laugh and yeah get those tissues ready because you will almost definitely cry but by the end lilian will have put your heart back together piece by beautiful piece.
I have loved every minute of these books and I’m excited for more .
Fragile Truths is the third book in the Fragile Hearts Series by Lilian Harris and the conclusion to Jax and Lexi’s story. An emotional ride, that had my heart racing with every step they took on their road to happiness—it was bittersweet but worth it.
While I enjoyed all the sexiness Lilian Harris delivered in this book, it was Jax’s growth as a character, what I loved the most. One of the plot-twists-the the main one, made me go so mad because I felt it was not necessary, I mean they have already gone through so much, so why gave them more pain, I knew it was something they have to experience for them to face their fears, and get their well deserved happily ever after.
A beautiful story of overcoming trauma and loss that will give you all the angsty feels, and will leave you wanting more from Lilian Harris. Gabriel is next, and I can wait to read about him.
Sometimes you think you’re protecting someone by hurting them but sometimes that hurt is so deep that when you come to your senses you may never get them back. Jax hurt Lexi. He cut her deep and it takes awhile to even get her to talk to him, but he knows that once he has the horrors of the past under control he can be the man she needs. Tragedy skips over people like a rock on the lake and you don’t know when it’s going to hit you. When it does, it can change absolutely everything. Can their love survive when tragedy comes?
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Phew…… The emotions this book made me feel!
Jax and Lexi took me on a journey of all the feels. There were parts that hurt to read. My heart was in my throat as I felt what they were feeling.
Lilian’s growth as an author has been so fun to watch. Each book I read, the more I see it. I cant wait to see where she goes.
This was not a light read. It hurt. But it was so worth it in the end.
Jax and Lexi story continues in this book and to say that love is never easy is an under statement for these 2.
Their read is full of emotions, sadness, love, and it will break your heart a little and ever so slowly put it back together again. These two have you pulled in right from the start and will definitely keep you glued to your Kindle and don’t let even when it ends. I laughed, cried, and didn’t want this story to end. Jax and Lexi is a story that will stick even after it ends. It left me floored and by the end it left me with a smile. Can’t wait to read what she has next.
5 HEARTBREAKING STARS!! This story was beautifully heartbreaking, but I loved every minute of it. Lexi and Jax’s….these two go through tough times and will push every emotion button you have, but it is a must read. This series has been phenomenal by this amazing author, her words captivated you all the way through her stories.
This second part has been emotional, consuming and gripping. It’s the conclusion of Jax and Lexi’s story. Definitely the author accomplished to capture me completely and I could enjoy all the advances that this couple made. She conveyed very well the sense of loss but also the joy and excitement of a second chance to achieve the dream of having a family along with a beautiful happy ending.
You know those books that you have to sit back and reflect on what you’ve just read? You let the words wash over you, you feel the emotions, the loss, the happy, the tragic… this is one of those stories. I must admit I struggled in parts because I got so emotionally invested in Jax and Lexi’s story.
Haunting, that’s a word which describes this book to me. It will stick with me. This author has a way with words that just makes you feel and experience everything the characters are going through and when you have to stop and take a breather because it’s so well written, you know you’ve found a fantastic writer!
Gah! This book really pulled at the old heart strings. I was rooting so hard for these characters. I flew through this story. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Jax and Lexi both had me pulling my hair out in this story. Each have had painful pasts and struggle with relationships in the present. They’re made for each other, only they just don’t see it.
Can Lexi forgive Jax? Does Jax find the courage to tell her how he feels? Will they finally get their HEA?
This is the 3rd book in this amazing series and the 2nd part of Jax and Lexi’s story. Fragile Lies needs to be read before this story. Jax has realized his mistake of walking away from Lexi instead of dragging her into his messed-up life, and Lexi is understandably wary of taking another chance. Jax has a dark past which has defining moments which have made him the way he is now, but he is getting the help he needs. Can these two overcome more challenges which are thrown into their world? Can he convince Lexi to give him a 2nd chance? This is a beautifully written story which is an emotional roller coaster, as well as raw, gritty, and filled with heartbreak, loss, angst, and love. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend. Just be aware that there may be triggers in this story for some readers.
I have been waiting for the final installment of Jax and Lexi’s story and what a final act it was. In typical Harris style, she takes the reader on an emotional journey…she has a way of drawing out every ounce of emotion from the reader, whether it be laughter, anger, or grief. Jax and Lexi’s love story is as beautiful as it is tragic at times. Harris did a spectacular job of detailing the climax of their love story…in every page I felt Jax’s torture, guilt, pain, and love – Lexi’s hurt, betrayal, and love. I cheered them on as they worked to get their life and relationship back on track…I also bemoaned the cruelty that tries their newly forged relationship. Yet, I was not able to put this book down, it kept me enthralled from the first word to the last. Harris truly out did herself with this story. I highly recommend this and the first two books in the series. Advanced copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review. 5 exceptional s.
Now THAT was the book I was waiting on from this author!!!!
To me personally this book had more substance and depth than the first part of the duet.
Although I still wanted to throttle both of them at different points (Lexi more in this book) the heartbreaking journey portrayed in this book combined with less steam than in the first book made it a much more enjoyable read that I just couldn’t put down until I had finished.
The conclusion to Jax and Lexi’s story in the third book of the Fragile Hearts Series only one man left remaining and I cannot wait for Gabe’s story.
But for now let’s talk about this book, sheesh I feel like my hearts been shredded to pieces and then pasted back together. You will need all the tissues for this book, ALL THE TISSUES!
This book is an emotional masterpiece. Although it does deal with some extremely sensitive tragedies so be prepared for that.
Lexi and Jax’s journey is full of roadblocks and twists and turns but in the end they both come out stronger together and are able to put together a beautiful life.
I loved the epilogue and it defiantly gave use some clues as to what is in store for Gabe!
** I was generously provided with an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for my fair and honest review**
Lilah Harris made me cry ….
… and I absolutely love her for having written such a gorgeously anguishing book, that both broke my heart and gave me all the lovey fuzzy feelings that I demand at the end of the books I choose to read.
This is the second part of Jax and Lexi’s story, so you ABSOLUTELY have to read Fragile Lies first. If you haven’t, put this book down and go get it. It is imperative to read ‘Lies’ before ‘Truths’. Even better, if you haven’t read Fragile Scars, Damian and Lilah’ story, the first stand-a-lone book in this series of the ex-Delta Force trio of friends, then start there. I guarantee that you will thank me for it! Lilian Harris’ writing has all the feels. It will tear your heart to pieces, then heal it and kiss it better.
She left me hanging with that ending in ‘Lies’, so I was desperate to get my hands on this story to see what became of Jax and Lexi. I felt every bit of Lexi’s heartbreak, because the gift of Lilian Harris’ writing means that she conveys their feelings and emotions efficiently and eloquently, and while I didn’t agree with Jax’s actions, as a reader I got the benefit of his POV which Ms Harris put across in a way that I believe was perfectly done. We got a view into the events that had affected Jax and his buddies so adversely, and which had been the defining moment that kick-started the darkness in him that threatened to overcome every good thing in his life.
As in life, some people experience so much pain and loss, and for them it wasn’t over. The angst had overflowed into an ugly cry and I couldn’t see how Ms Harris could help them negotiate their way through the train wreck that had become their lives! Where the hell was the HEA that I needed for them????
Well, Author Lilian Harris more than delivered. She also managed to whet my appetite for the next book in the series!! So, while I’m off to feverishly email the author and demand that she write faster, I suggest you get those one-click fingers busy and hit these books! 5 Stars, seriously.
Lexi and Jax had me on pins and needles while reading it and I couldn’t read it fast enough. This story was a rollercoaster and takes you on a heartbreaking journey but also mended everything broken at the end. The growth between these two and the conclusion to this story was perfect
The conclusion to Lexi and Jax’s story is here and boy is it emotional so prepare yourself.
The book starts with the missing piece to Jax’s history. I knew something happened and Lilian didn’t spare the reader it is written so well I felt like I was watching it unfold. Jax at the end of book one was on my naughty list but Lilian brought his demons to life and made me understand him so much better. By the end of the book I was devoted to the man he became. At every turn life seems to have it out for Lexi she goes through unimaginable heartache but her inner strength comes through.
I always feel that if a writer can make you cry or just feel empathy for the characters then they have done their job well. Lilian has written an emotional ending to this duet. Everything felt so realistic because it is written with heart and understanding. I would recommend having tissues at the ready before starting this book.
Oh my heart! Lillian not only broke, but shattered my heart! But eventually she mended it back together. Her words, this story touched me, it will leave a Mark on my heart forever! Jax and Lexi’s story is tragic but beautiful. Beautifully written! An emotional rollercoaster. Grab the tissues!
4-1/2 Stars!
Nothing will prepare you for the heartbreak in this book. At first I was so angry because why write something so unbelievably unfair & tragic but then I realized life isn’t happy happy all the time & this just made the book more realistic.
I’m happy that after everything Jax & Lexi went through they finally got their happily ever after. This was a great conclusion to their story & I’m looking forward to Gabe’s story next.
I received an arc of this book in return for an honest review.
Fragile Truths is a grab some tissues, emotionally gripping, fantastic read. I was glued to the pages the entire time. I couldn’t get enough of Jax and Lexi in this one. I love how Fragile Truths begins where Fragile Lies left off. Jax is working hard to be the man he thinks Lexi needs. There is such peace that overcomes Jax in this one. I love how Jax fights for Lexi and refuses to give up even when things start to slip. Lexi has this strength she build up at the beginning of this one. She is fighting to over come Jax and prove she doesn’t need him. There is no denying that Jax and Lexi are not over. Lexi is hit with such tragedy that just breaks your heart. Fragile Truths will hit you in the heart and bring on the sad and happy tears. Jax and Lexi’s love story is a thing of beauty and must be read.
Jax and Lexi were perfect… then they weren’t! Things started heading in a serious direction and Jax panicked, and decided it was time to walk away. He thought he is did the right thing by letting her go and not dragging her into his messed up world, but he couldn’t have been more wrong. He thought his feelings would dissipate if she wasn’t around, but if anything they grew stronger.
After realizing his mistake he decides maybe, just maybe, she might be the one to chase his demons away and the one he can finally find his forever with… now he just has to convince her to give him second shot!
Fragile Truths is the heartbreakingly beautiful conclusion to Jax and Lexi’s story, it’s words are bound to keep your eyes glued to the pages and your heart feeling a squeeze the whole way through. I loved reuniting with this pairing, my heart broke for them at the end of the first installment, but I held out hope there would be happier days ahead for them. And while they found their happiness, it didn’t come easy for them, there were demons to chase away, doubts to conquer, and a tragedy to overcome. This was quite an emotional journey, there were tender moments that spoke to the heart, humorous moments that made me smile, steamy moments that made me blush, and then there were the tough gut wrenching moments that broke my heart. It had many highs and lows, but the high heart soaring moments definitely out-weighed the dark lows, it was a perfectly balanced story. I loved every single second of this one, the words were emotive and mesmerizing and the characters perfectly crafted…it was the perfect literary escape!
