Arsen: A Broken Love Story

Maybe 3.5 stars.
This one is difficult to review. First half of the book I was just thinking “C’mon, something happen!� Life isn’t perfect. It might seem perfect to people looking in � Cathy has a great job, perfect husband, gorgeous house, good friends�. BUT .. yes we know what her “buts� are and it is heartbreaking. Marriage is hard work � been doing it myself for 21 years. Luckily, I never went through what THEY went through. But it should be a

I am married to a “nice� man � should I do something about that? OK, maybe my Book Boyfriends are my make-believe “cheats�!
I disliked Cathy for most of the book. I loved Ben. Arsen, not sure what I felt for him. Even at the end, I did not really care.
I cannot say much without giving too much away. Does it deserve all the rave, 5 star reviews? Not sure. The writing was excellent and the story draws you in. In the end I sort of thought “No, there should not be a HEA�. And for some there was and for some there wasn’t. I am not sure what I think about it really�. Sorry for my rambling. And no, I did not shed a tear � am I a cruel hearted, cold bitch? I hope not�.. Maybe, because I am a bit older, I did not have the empathy for HIM as others might. At the end of the day it is fiction, I guess, and it takes something a bit stronger than this to make me shed a tear.

Love is infinite.
There is no beginning and no end.
There is no starting point and no finishing line.
Love just is.
Love is born, grows, matures, and sometimes it dies.
But the memory will remain with you for the rest of your breathing hours.
You fall in love, you fall out of love.
But you will love again.
You always do.

Thanks, Ladies.... sometimes my expectations are too high when I see all the rave reviews.

But i liked what i read so far in the book, im not looking HEA stories only, so the cheating point in the book doesnt bother me... much ;) So i guess i'll read it later ;)

Thanks Angie.




Give it a shot, Rica. The writing is very good but something just did not click with me to give it a higher rating.


Yes and no...I hate reading love triangles...I loved Ben, I understood Cathy, and I ended up not really liking Arsen at all. LOL....how do I write about that?
I'll just make it a GIF review. Easy peasy


Thanks Tangerine.... Wish I could have said I LOVED it ....."
Me, too...I thought I would from all of the great reviews but, I didn't care for it either..

Yep, Mirjana - plenty more out there.... Read Reckless after that and absolutely LOVED it.


Kinda saw all the 5 stars and went for it. Cannot fault the writing but some of the characters just did not do it for me. J, on the other hand, absolutely LOVED it.

Thanks Crystal. In the minority I know.

I have yet to read this one. I am still undecided if I want to or not.

No I wasn't sure anyway ...


I think Jxxx had finished hers before me but I had my review up before her. She was too traumatised by it all.....


Anne, way too many books out there. I just keep adding and adding.....
Oh loved the "love is infinite" poem, so beautiful!
