JL Berg has once again crafted an emotionally charged, breathtaking romance with The Bridges I've Burned, a story that explores love, family, and the sacrifices we make for both. This book captivated me from the very first page and kept me hooked until the final word.

What really sets The Bridges I’ve Burned apart is JL Berg’s ability to weave a beautiful love story with real-life struggles. Zander and Elena both have dreams they’re chasing, but the question remains: Can they reconcile their individual paths and build a future together? The emotional rollercoaster is real, and the twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The setting of Ocracoke Island and the family dynamics are rich with tension, drama, and personal growth.

The push and pull between their undeniable attraction and the complications of his rising fame are handled with a delicate balance, making the stakes feel even higher.

I won’t spoil the twist that comes later in the book, but let me just say… wow. It’s one of those unexpected moments that completely shifts the narrative, and I was here for every second of it. JL Berg masterfully layers the tension, drama, and romance, building to a conclusion that’s both satisfying and emotionally fulfilling.
