I’m not sure what to write about this book, but here goes. I liked the story and the characters but felt like something was lacking. I got a little lost in the words that jumped back and forth between monologue and inner monologue.
Well done on another book!

A second chance story but not for me
The Broken Love is the second book in The Hudson Brothers series and it is about Leo Hudson and Eleanor Black. They were exclusive for six months and the morning after they slept together, this being her first time, he leaves without saying goodbye or anything. Leo had always wanted to be a photographer and he was offered a job which he chose over her. What he did not know was that he left a little Hudson behind. Eleanor became a single mother and worked her way through law school.
It is now seven years later and they meet again at the wedding of his older brother Milo. Leo has decided to come back home to open a photography studio while Ellie has come back to take a job at a law firm. Leo realizes that he would like a second chance but Ellie is not too sure about things, as how can she ever trust him again. Plus there is the fact that she now has her son, Max, to protect. The problem is that Leo and Max get along even though Leo does not know that he is Max’s father.
So this is supposed to be a second chance love story but to me it just does not work that way as I think Ellie and Max would have been better off kicking him after he again breaks not only her heart but Max’s also before he really grows up and takes responsibility. I understand the appeal of a beautiful second chance love story however, to me Leo did not really have much for redeeming qualities. I think this story was just not for me as I just could not get into liking Leo and instead just kept wanting to kick his azz from here to the moon and back a few hundred times.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
TheBroken Love is the second installment in Emma Vikes’ The Hudson Brothers series and focuses on Leo Hudson, photographer and player, and Eleanor Black, single mother and attorney, who once had a relationship resulting in pregnancy but ceased when Leo left without a word to take a career changing photography assignment. Seven years later, they meet at a wedding and Leo decides he wants a second chance while Eleanor is not willing to risk her heart again as it was shattered when he left her years ago. Leo is undeterred in his feelings about Eleanor until he is once again offered an amazing photography assignment. Will he stay with Eleanor and his secret son, or will he once again choose career over love? I highly recommend this dramatic book with its well developed and memorable characters and a wonderful but emotional storyline of heartbreak and second chances.

Loved this story.
This is the second book in this series & loved it. The characters were great & they had you laughing at times aswell as feeling quite emotional. I hated Leo for the way he just left Eleanor but he eventually won me over the way he treated her & Max wanting to prove himself worthy of them. Once I started I couldn’t put it down desperately wanting them to become a happy family & I can’t wait to read about the next Hudson brother.

This was such a great book! It was the second book in the Hudson Brothers series. I absolutely fell in love with Leo Hudson! Leo Hudson and Eleanor Black were wonderful characters! This book was about giving in to love with everything you have and having your heart shatter into a million pieces. Then as fate would have it, seven years later given the same opportunity. Wanting to say no but the heart wants what the heart wants, right? This book packed a powerful force of love. The kind of love that never truly dies. This book is a must read! I highly recommend this book and the other books in this series!
I loved this book. It was fast paced with an enjoyable storyline. Second chance romances are iffy iffy for me, so it was a nice surprise that I enjoyed every page of this one. More often than not I ended up not liking the majority of second chance romances I’ve read. This is the second book in the Hudson Brothers series, and it can be read as a standalone, but you will come across spoilers from the first book since it’s a series about brothers and all the characters are close to each other.

Second chance romance
#spoiler
This was a feel-good, second-chance romance story between Leo and Eleanor. It certainly wasn’t smooth sailing, but maybe a love like this is worth all the hard work and heartache?
Leo was a known heartbreaker, living a charmed bachelor life, and Eleanor had had her heart broken, and was unlikely to let anyone close enough to break it again. However, a couple of encounters began the journey of hope and a renewal in the possibility of finding love. Will they really be given another opportunity to feel true love, and have it reciprocated?
Another good story by this author, whom I look forward to reading more of.

This book caught me from the beginning. It’s a great story that you won’t be able to put down. Eleanor and Leo are great characters, they’re great together. I couldn’t get enough of this amazing story and I hope you won’t either. I just hope that if you decide to read this great story you fall in love with it as much as I did.

This second book in the story of the Hudson brothers is just as good as the first. This time it’s Leo. He’s not a commitment kind of guy but manages to get hooked up with Eleanor “Ellie”. Six months later, he’s offered a chance to see and photograph the world and he takes it, leaving Ellie alone with not even a goodbye. She’s heartbroken and promises to never let him do that again. Seven years later, she’s back in Leo’s presence for her friend Megan’s wedding to Leo’s brother Milo. She has her son Max with her. She’s only ever told one person who Max’s father is. Just being around her again makes Leo want to be with Ellie again but he’s got a long way to go to get there. He hits it off with Max right away. The road is bumpy for Leo and Ellie and they both need to make some hard choices to be able to finally get their happily ever after and they do!

3 1/2 Stars
This second chance romance started out with heartbreak as Leo knowingly abandoned Eleanor in a cruel and cowardly way. After six months of exclusive dating, he took his dream job photographing in the Amazon without even saying goodbye. It was really hard for me to like Leo as he really did play Eleanor for a fool. He convinced her that he could be trusted, took her V-card and left her the next morning without an explanation or a goodbye. What a jerk move.
Returning six long years later after living a life full of women and excess, he was still as immature and shallow as when he left her.
Eleanor had moved on. Raising Leo’s son alone and finishing her law degree forced her to grow up and be a better version of herself.
This second chance romance had me gasping in anger for Eleanor and Max.
Kudos to the author for gently helping me to see Leo’s growth as he falls in love with Eleanor and Max and as their passion for each other escalated.
Heartbreaking at times but full of sweet emotions and epiphanies as Leo was forced to choose what was really important to him this time around as well.

A great second chance at love…I really wanted to punch the hero but I’m a sucker for happy endings, redemption etc & this did not disappoint. I’ve come to really enjoy this author’s work, always well crafted & written. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
This book is all about second chances at love and the life you always wanted. I really did enjoy this book and It’s the second book in a series, so I recommend you read the first book first, though not necessary but I think books in series should be read in order.
