Breaking You Open (Unforgivable Needs #2)


Annnnd, here's a break from my regularly scheduled ARCs/TBRs programming with a new book from an add I saw last night... Here's Ally Avery's "Breaking You Open." It's technically the second book in the Unforgivable Needs series.

["Sparrow
He’s the one I need.
When a smoking hot older biker saves me from a miserable night, I know I can call him home. But my dream soon turns into a nightmare when he kicks me out.
Next thing I know, the past I’ve fought to escape comes back to haunt me. But I know where I can take refuge.
If he’ll have me.

Louis
I’m not the one he needs.
And he’s not mine to take.
Too young. Too frail. Too broken.
But he insists he needs me, and who am I to refuse when a cute boy with pouty lips and haunted eyes shows up on my doorstep?
His demons are hot on his heels, and he counts on me for protection. But how can I protect him, if I can’t even protect him from myself?"]

These two were broken, and yet, they managed to heal each other....slowly. It wasn't an easy journey, but it was a well-earned HEA.

But be forewarned, this is a dark romance. There are a lot of trigger warnings and a lot of wow-he-needs-therapy moments. Love (nor sex) can heal past traumas, but sometimes, having someone with similar traumas (or matching traumas) helps a little bit, too.

Trigger Warnings: on-page sexual assault/rape (not between MCs), physical and psychological abuse, bullying, drug and alcohol use, fatal drug overdose of secondary character, homophobic slurs, violence, mild gore, torture of secondary character, mutilation of secondary character, fat shaming between secondary characters, and more.
