Review: Broken Boys Despise Deceit

-
Broken Boys Despise Deceit Broken Boys Despise Deceit by J.B. Heller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Note 2: These are all standalone novels. But please read in order, as previous characters do make cameos.

Trigger Warnings: abuse, drug abuse, cancer, death, panic attacks, fights, love-triangles.

Well this novel did follow through with its title.

There's a love triangle - it's not that simple for scout, Kass, and Mase or two of them to get their HEA.
I have to start off by saying I hated Scout. Still resent her for her questionable decisions - how do you think the love triangle started?
Note to self: That's why you don't ask for more from someone, because apparently they could end up f--king up someone else - the horror!-baloney honestly - also the reason for the love triangle.
And poor Mase, he dared to ask for more or even like her. Like yes I get it, that she had issues, but didn't Mase as well? Apparently not cause Scout was so damn special. Sigh.
Anyway - still can't really gel with Scout and Mase together but whatever. It's outta my hands.

But everything else - I loved the emotional chemistry they all held - still detested Scout - the steamy chemistry, and how they try to figure out their demons and problems together - it was all difficult to handle but heartwarming anyway.

Everything else - the love triangle - really made for a letdown of a novel. They're all in their 20s, yet behave like petrified teenagers when making decisions. Sigh, a true letdown indeed.

Up next is Broken Boys Crave Chaos - Kass and his mystery love interest's story - coming April 12, 2022. So excited for that one, hopefully it'll be more awesome to read.

Until the hopefully next better read,
