About this listen
I intended to keep my promises to you. I swear. I loved you, Matthew Caldwell—with my whole heart. I think a piece of me will always love you. But it all came crashing down when I realized you didn’t keep your promises to me. I refuse to take any of my days for granted. I learned that the hard way. So I’m sorry. But I can’t keep my promises to someone who didn’t keep theirs. XOXO, Brooklyn Sanders

Story
My last single friend just got married, leaving me roommate-less. When Rory shows up at my door, I'm more than a little surprised to find out that a guy has answered my ad. Living with a man wasn't exactly what I had in mind - especially one as handsome as Rory. He's charming, confident, and...completely off-limits. He's a total player. And I don't want to end up getting played. But when all the other applicants don't seem to be a good fit, I can't help but let my mind wander back to him. What's the worst that could happen if I let him move in?

I put my foster father behind bars. It doesn't matter that he deserved it. What matters is that he's powerful, manipulative, and now, he wants me dead. I can feel someone watching me. I know my time is running out. The only other person who cares if I live or die is a masked stranger. So I'm putting my life in the vigilante's hands - and maybe a piece of my heart along with it. Even though I'm worried that he's just as dangerous as the man I sent to prison.

The easiest way to get over someone is to never see them again, right? So when my ex stomps on my heart and throws it into the ocean...I decide to spend my summer on the opposite side of the country. And this summer is all about me: mending my broken heart (screw all men), figuring out what I want to do with my life (a life that thankfully does not include my ex), and trying to better myself (does eating ice cream count?). But all of my perfect planning comes to a halt when the sexiest lifeguard in existence asks me out. I have to say no.

Story
Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

So sad
This was the saddest book so far from Ivy Smoak . I sat here in actual tears at the end when the car blew up . And my anxiety was so high listening to it before hand because I knew something was going to happen , I could feel it . I hate that ending for Miller . He was wonderful and deserved so much more . My heart is broken for him and Jacob having to watch his father die like that . I was also so irritated with Brooklyn when she made Miller wait for so long to finally want to marry him . When she claimed she knew she was in love with him back in the beach house . Smh . I NEED to know who killed Miller and why since Isabella is dead . Did her father really find her and do it or was it Poppy

Heartbreakingly Beautiful
I just finished listening to this audiobook and I will just tell you right now that if I thought the book was heartbreaking, the audiobook is 10 times worse. Laurie West did such a great job with the emotions that I almost had a sobbing fit driving home from my job. I was so irritated at Brooklyn, and didn’t think she deserved Miller, but then I remembered she was only sixteen at the beginning of the story. I loved hearing how the relationship between Miller and Brooklyn evolved during the 16 years that everybody thought she was dead. Theirs was a beautiful love story that was so genuine and real. Miller is my forever book boyfriend. ❤️

I thought Brooklyn’s life was over after losing Matt, but Miller turned out be be the best boyfriend and husband. He gave her the life she deserved. This was my favorite of all the Empire books.

What really happened to Brooklyn Sanders-Pruit?
First of all this book has a WOW factor!!! This character had gone through such loss as a 16 yr. old girl that I would
think she should of been in therapy for years!! This is a real tear jerker but the story needed to be told to be able to bring the series full circle.. Imagine being that young losing the only family you knew and the need to be loved and find a place in life to be loved and not only nurtured but to really find someone to trust and care for her on this journey to adulthood. It seemed as though she had no-one left from Her past life that would give her what she truly needed.
Her journey took 16 years of her young life and more to face and right the wrongs that she suffered at the hands of her biological father. whom she never known.
Did this powerful man help her? crush her spirit more? Make her stronger? or is she designed to fight for happiness approval
love again.
I don't want to ruin the story because to me this is a Masterpiece that Ivy Smoak written that she got a lot of slack because some readers were only interested in her relationship with Matt! but for me it is the story we needed to get ready for the next books in the series.
Happy Reading or listening!!.
