Unbreak My Heart by Nicole Jacquelyn
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

2 ⭐⭐ - Meh!
==============

"cruel asshole abusive Selfish jerk douchecanoe" hero + doormat heroine = WTF moment!
------------
portuguese and english
------------
O herói é absolutamente odioso, ele deixa os ogros da Diana Palmer se sentindo amadores! Gente, o que é isso? Cruel, abusivo psicologicamente, um verdadeiro monstro e ainda usa a heroína como empregada doméstica e babá... é um horror só. Eu passei o livro todo esperando ela tomar uma dose de realidade e partir pra outra. Amar uma pessoa não justifica deitar e deixar ela chutar você até você não ter mais forças para reagir. Abuso psicológico e emocional levado ao extremo. Terminei a leitura exausta e não entendendo como ela ainda ficou com o suposto herói. Nem sei como classificar este livro. Recomendo tomar seu remédio para pressão arterial antes de ler.

The hero is absolutely odious, he let the ogres of Diana Palmer feeling amateurs! Guys, what is this? Cruel, abusive psychologically, a real monster and still using heroine as a maid and nanny ... is an absolute horror. I spent the whole book waiting for her to take a dose of reality and move on. Love a person doesn't justify lie down and let him kick you until you no longer have the strength to react. Psychological and emotional abuse taken to the extreme. I finished reading exhausted and don't understand how she stayed with the supposed hero. I don't know how to rate this book. I recommend taking your blood pressure medicine before reading.

PS: I was all the time waiting for him to get another girlfriend and kick the ass of heroine out when he no longer needed her domestic services.

I’d ignored the way Kate had watched me with sad eyes as I’d monopolized her friend’s time and completely disregarded her hurt feelings. I’d never liked Kate that way, and I hadn’t seen anything wrong with going after her new friend.

==========

My wife was the most beautiful woman I’d ever known, and it wasn’t just her looks.

==========

I practically lived with Rachel while Shane was gone—she hated being alone—but the moment her husband stepped foot on American soil, I was persona non grata again.

==========

“You knew I wouldn’t fuck you sober, so you waited until I was shit-housed and got what you wanted.”

==========

“I didn’t want you then, I don’t want you now,” I said, watching detachedly...

==========

“You were a lousy fuck, Kate. I won’t be back for seconds.”

==========

I didn’t want her. Even if she hadn’t been my wife’s best friend and tied to me with more threads than a fucking spiderweb, I still wouldn’t have wanted her. She wasn’t my type. I liked women who were slender, who took the time to make sure they looked good no matter what they were doing. I wasn’t into women with rounded bodies who wore sweats and yoga pants like it was their uniform.

==========

I didn’t want her, and she wasn’t mine.

==========

The worst mistake I’d ever made in my entire life.

==========

I didn’t want a child with her. God, I didn’t want any more children period.

==========

The fear that I wouldn’t love Kate’s child the way I loved the others. The fear that I’d feel nothing.

==========

I wasn’t going to pretend that I thought she was interesting or sexy or fun. That wouldn’t be fair to her, and frankly, it would just fuck things up worse than they already were.

==========

“You and me are never going to happen, Kate. Okay? I’m not sure what you’re thinking, if you thought we’d just be one big happy family or something, but we won’t. You’re not Rachel. You’re just not, and you’re nice, but I don’t feel that way about you.”

==========

I hated that Rachel was gone. I hated that I still reached for her sometimes,

==========

Kate just kept coming back.
