The Hurt of Letting Go: A Second Chance Romance (Braxton U Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Lexi Bissen (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 85 ratings
Are we, or aren’t we? Conrad has been toying with me for too long, and enough is enough. He needs to decide if he wants to keep me or finally let me go.

Conrad Dugray
Falling in love was never part of my plan. I was supposed to graduate college and prepare to join the family business. My family’s expectations of me as the oldest son were far too high, and they were becoming harder to reach.
Emree was never supposed to be the girl I fell for. My family already had a future wife in mind for me and they would never accept someone with Emree’s background. I tried to push her away on multiple occasions, but it was becoming more difficult each time. Once my family found out about her, they would destroy anything we had.

Emree Anders
Being in love with a man who didn’t seem to want to be with you was a special kind of torture. Conrad constantly pushed me away and just when I thought I was over him, he was back again, claiming he couldn’t go another day without me.
My heart couldn’t take the tug-of-war game he continued to play with it, and I feared it might shatter the next time he pushed me away. I needed to stand my ground and make him decide if he wanted me or he would have to let me go.

Conrad and Emree can they have it all? It all starts off simple enough friends with "extra benefits" isn't that every college kid's dream? Conrad especially is under a lot of pressure. His family, mostly his father, is expecting him to head his family into the future. With his struggle to do what he feels is his obligation to his family and this sudden new life that has crept into his soul and is calling him to follow his own path what will he choose. Emree on the other hand who comes from some place far removed from Conrad would give up so many things to have his opportunities but would she give up on love? Emotional story about growing, dreaming, finding your support system, what family truly is. I have happily left this review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars All the stars for Conrad and Emree!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2023

    Conrad and Emree have been dating for six months. They had a bit of a rocky start with him being afraid to commit but he straightened himself out and they have been enjoying each other as much as they can. Especially Conrad. He is soaking up as much time as he can with Emree since he is keeping a secret from everyone he knows. One that will devastate Emree. His family if forcing him into an arranged marriage once he graduates from college and he is forced to start "dating" her asap. So he does the hardest thing he has ever had to do, break both his and Emree's heart and let her go.

    I really enjoyed that this one wasn't the normal formula for a second chance romance. We saw them together, go through their break up and then work their way back to each other. It was a very nice change of pace. Did they break me and have me a hot mess with all the tears I shed? Absolutely. Did I love them immensely and immediately wanted to re-read this one? Most definitely. Are his parents vile people? A trillion percent yes. I really felt both their anguish in this one. My heart hurt for them. Conrad made some bad choices and should have stood up to his parents sooner but I feel like he truly redeemed himself. I am obsessed with this world and cannot wait for Maddox's story.

    This is a story of two college kids from different social classes searching for their happy ending. Emree and Conrad are a perfect match in everyone's eyes except his father. I admittedly jumped into this book series on book two but they are interconnected standalones. Though it is well written and a sweet story I found there are a lot of inner thoughts from the characters that really were just unnecessary. It isn't very spicy and if you are looking for an intro to romance for a YA reader I'd definitely recommend this book as a starting place.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A second chance sports romance
    Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023
    I read the first in this series in January with The Act of Trusting, and the second book did not disappoint!

    Conrad and Emree's story is just so good! There was romance, drama, heartbreak, confusion, jealousy, friendship and more!

    We got to meet Conrad and Emree in the first book, and see them get together in a friends with benefits type relationship. But the reason behind that was kept fairly secret, so it was hard to tell if Conrad was just a player or if there was more to it. Well, there was a whole lot more to it!

    You come to find out that Conrad comes from an incredibly wealthy and powerful family, but while he's at school at Braxton, he's able to keep his family life secret and just live like a normal person. Because of family obligations, he doesn’t want to get involved in relationships which is why he sticks with friends with benefits only. But when Emree absolutely captures his heart, Conrad can't help but fall for her.

    And then comes the big twist. We find out that Conrad's father expects him to not only take over the family business, but he's also forced into an arranged marriage, thus he has to break Emree's heart.

    I have mixed feelings on this plotline. In 2023 it feels a bit far-fetched for arranged marriage to be this big of a deal. But I also love it because with the MAN being forced into an arranged marriage, when typically you read about a woman being in this situation, was a great twist on this storyline.

    I thought the internal struggle that Conrad goes through was well written. His feelings are very complex, and you really understand why he's so torn. He has lived his whole life under these expectations, with no other life plan even considered. It's just been the expectation from the start. He wants to please his family and just wants his father to be proud. And yet, he has never felt actual love more than what he has experienced with Emree. She's shown him true love, comfort and a sense of home, which he's never had.

    I feel like Emree handles the situation beautifully. She allows herself time to wallow and be heartbroken, but she also is strong in picking herself up to move on. She's clear to Conrad what she needs to be able to move on, and sticks with it. I would have liked for a little more time to pass between their break up and getting back together, just to draw out the drama a little more.

    I also adore the found family aspect of this book. Conrad has it with his teammates. Emree has it with Blair. Together they all form this little family that means so much to one another.

    One of my favorite quotes from the book is "This is what family is. Not people who are tied to you by the blood that runs through your veins, but the people who are there for you no matter what. The ones who love and truly care for you, no matter what."

    If you're looking for a sports romance that will tug at your heartstrings, definitely pick this book up!

    I received an advanced copy of this ebook, but the review is my own.

    The Hurt of Letting Go by Lexi Bissen

    After completely book 1 I was immediately grabbing book 2! Devoured! While my heart broke for both Conrad & Emree (love her name btw) I also wanted to throw my phone! While you think Conrad is just this really big jerk when you find out his reasoning for all the Hurt, you still think he's a jerk, but your heart breaks for him. And you understand him a little more. The cards he's dealt are less than desirable, and it's hard to know what you do if faced with that situation.

    But God was I so proud when he finally figured out that love was worth it! I absolutely loved once he started taking control of his life! I was cheering and rooting for them! And his character growth was amazing! I loved Emree from the beginning, such a spitfire! And the strength in both characters for being college aged and being thrown twists and turns! Although not my favorites, Camden currently still has me in a chokehold! I absolutely loved this book too!

    Now that I devoured books 1 & 2, I'll just be here anxiously awaiting book 3! I absolutely can not wait for Maddox & Trazia!!! So glad I picked up Lexi's books!

    I wanted to like this, but it wasn't a great read. The characters were so flat. There really was nothing engaging about them and the plot was boring.
    Maybe it would have been better in 3rd person because I don't think the author is very competent with 1st.
