Broken Love Duet #1
Mistakes I've Made
My love for Callie Street was like a bad country song.
Boy meets girl.
Boy falls in love with girl.
Girl belongs to another guy.
Callie was never mine—she couldn’t be.
She belonged to my brother.
It was his ring on her finger.
I hated him for that.
Sometimes I hated her.
With time, old flames eventually perish, leaving ashes in their wake.
But the thing about ashes?
If they catch fire, they’ll destroy anything in its path.
One forbidden night, Callie and I gave in to temptation.
We burned white-hot—an explosion that obliterated everything around us.

About the author
Jordan Marie
118 books4,760 followersI'm just a simple small town country girl, haunted by Alpha Men who talk in my head 24 hours a day.
I knew I wanted to write when it became clear I couldn't be happy with just viewing other people's stories. I always wanted to rewrite them.
Like why did Jack have to die? Why couldn't Rose move her butt over? Because that was a huge piece of wood she was on, people.
Happy Endings should be fought for, but they should always happen. Mine might take some curves and twists, but they eventually get there.
Having published over fifty stories, it always feels surreal that this is my life. Hitting USA Today had me crying for days, but nothing is more special than hearing from readers that they loved one of my books.

Wow! As usual, Jordan Marie has me on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait to read the next part of this duet. Part one has definitely lived up to the usual Jordan Marie duet expectations.
Reed and Callie. What can I say, except things rarely go the way you want them to in life, and this book was no exception. Just when it looks like these two might have figured things out, well you’ll have to read it to find out what happens.
So much happened, such pain, anger, love, hate. I can't wait for more!!!!

I knew this was going to be gritty, angsty, and heartbreaking, but I wasn’t expecting to feel all of it so deeply.
I honestly don’t know where to begin, my emotions feel like they’re misfiring right now after spending hours wrapped up in the emotions of Reed and Callie, I’m not ready to let that go.
Callie is new to town, and she’s not at all happy to be starting at a new school for her senior year. She’s sweet, kind hearted, and a lot is happening in her life that others don’t see.
Reed is a junior, reserved, quiet and incredibly charming. His home life isn’t good, it’s actually quite bad and while that could have been something he and his brother bonded over, that’s not the case. A few interactions with Mitch and it’s clear why there’s so much animosity between them.
Callie and Reed have an immediate spark of chemistry, and it develops into best friends who share feelings for one another. It’s a seamless transition into first love, it’s effortless between them, a foundation is being built. The thing is when you’re constructing a foundation, you don’t think of the damage that can be done when unnatural disasters have it’s sights set on breaking it down, piece by piece.
Neither, Callie or Reed have a good home life, but when they are with one another it’s so easy to feel the lightness they offer one another, like just being near takes weight off their shoulders.
This story is like emotional warfare, some devastation you feel as it approaches, others is a moment that feels like a punch to the gut, I felt physical pain with every blow.
There were times all I wanted to do was wrap my arms around Callie and Reid, other times I wanted to shake some sense into them. The love they shared started with a spark and shadowed by innocence, and it’s put through a whirlwind of a painful reality, it’s raw, gritty, heart wrenching, in the way that makes it easy to relate to them.
Real life isn’t easy, pain and heartbreak are inevitable and we appreciate the good times more when we’ve survived devastation.
Jordan Marie never ceases to amaze me, her ability to weave together a story that not only consumes your mind but her words have the power to imprint the character’s emotions inside of you, making you feel every one with fervor, as if they were your own.
Mistakes I’ve Made is a riveting blend of chemistry, poignantly emotional, every heart wrenching, gritty, painful, moment will imbed itself on your soul, throughout there’s also wit and charm that lightens the heaviness of the story. This isn’t a book you simply read, this is a book that you live in long after you read the final words. Biggest book hangover of 2021, I need Reed and Callie’s happily ever after.

The angst is ON POINT!! Holy hell, I didn't know if I was going to be able to make it out of this one without slapping the crap out of somebody. Pay close attention to that title because there are mistakes made that are freaking doozies but some of these issues stem from jealousy and anger from others. I gave them a little leeway since they are only 17-18 years old but man will they make you work for it.
Reed is the good guy we all say we want but he gets overshadowed by his bad-boy older brother Mitch. These two brothers don't have a good home life at all but where Reed still has hope for a better life, Mitch has all but given up and turned into his father. Then comes along Callie and Reed is immediately smitten. Callie is new to the area and also doesn't have a great home life but finds a friend in Reed that she hits it off with right away. As we all know though, teenage girls aren't that great at judging just who they should be believing. Which is the beginning of the mistakes and they just keep on piling up. I honestly didn't know which one made me madder. They both were following down a path of destruction but I think in the end, Callie really took the cake. They have some heavy decisions to make and they just don't have the experience nor guidance they needed.
This couple right here about broke my sanity and I mean that in a good way. Jordan had my emotions running rampant with this one. She definitely knows how to write a character that you want to throttle one minute but give them a big hug the next. It ends on one helluva cliffy and as of right now, I am team Reed all the way!

Oh my gosh! The feels! After reading Mistakes I've Made I am just overrun by them! Book 1 in the Broken Love duet will leave you just that broken! If you love a great read just riddled with emotional turmoil, angst, manipulation and betrayal then this book is on point. I was glued to the pages and refused to put the book down as I just had to know the end! *Eyes bulging*
Callie is the new girl in Macon, Texas. On her first day at school she meets Reed and they soon became fast friends, in that they both liked the other but were too scared to act so the friend-zoned each other, mistake #1.
From here there is just a ripple effect where no matter what they do or where they go there is always a road block. They are both so broken from their home lives that it almost makes it impossible for them to be together romantically. They are perfect for each other, but naive to so many things, add in that there are also unstoppable outside forces just desperate to keep them apart and you just have a recipe for disaster. I swear I want to give both of them a good shake!
Mitch you will hate him, I did. There is no redeeming that character let me tell you.
I cannot wait for book 2. I am sitting not so patiently waiting until its release as I am so hungry to know where Reed and Callie can go from here. This is a book not to be missed in 2021❤️📖 Happy Reading xox

4 1/2 stars
Mistakes I’ve Made is the perfect title for this story, the mistakes the two lead characters made, as well as other characters, made me want to give them a shake. 😀 Callie and Reed were great characters but boy, oh, boy did they make some mistakes—however, they were both very young so all is forgiven—magnanimous of me I know! 😂
This story centres around the lives of new adults, Callie and Reed, as well as other secondary characters who play important roles in their lives. At the age they are in this part of the story most decision making is difficult but add in darker elements trying to create havoc and things just go from bad to horrific.
I like both lead characters and felt sorry for them, I actually felt their pain quite deeply; their anguish and sense of betrayal, fears and vulnerabilities all piling up against them. I gave the extra half a star because you definitely feel a part of the story and want to protect and shield them from any more heartbreak—such is the high quality of the writing.
This is a fast-paced story that I found hard to put down. I am eager to read the second part of this literary tale, I have a couple of ideas but know anything can and often does happen in this author’s stories… I love the unpredictability.

This book’s title is so apt, because there were a lot of mistakes made by everyone in this story.
Sibling jealousy is a powerful thing. This story starts with two brothers, Reed and Mitch. Reed has always been the good guy, but he’s always known that Mitch has a bad streak that makes him dangerous and sometimes just plain evil. This book starts with Mitch wanting to get one over on his brother by taking away the one thing he knows his brother really wants - Callie, the new girl in town and one of Reed’s best friends.
Mitch is willing to go to extremes to hurt his brother. It doesn’t matter that Callie is in love with reed, Mitch will use that to hurt Reed worse. And somewhere along the line, Mitch falls for Callie and is determined to keep her and Reed apart.
This book is filled with lots of romance, betrayal, heartbreak, angst and twisty turns. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, something else pops up. This book ends on a cliffhanger, but book 2 will be out in October, so the wait isn’t too long. I don’t usually like books that focus on younger adults, but this one grabbed me and drew me in in completely. Bravo!

Missed potential
This book is definitely full of angst but the author really falls short of the story's potential. Every chapter is rushed. So much big stuff happens that should be shown to us but we only hear about it after it's happened. Mitch and Callie hooking up for the 1st time? Why would you not show us how she got to that point. Then them hooking back up at the end of the book? We're just given a bit of a time jump and told it's been happening. Such odd decisions to leave so much on the table. The book has me caring about Reed and Callie which is good, but I feel like I would care a lot more if we ever got to see them happy together. Even when they finally start dating neither of them are happy. Mitch is awful but Callie is actually happy with him and he makes her feel loved like Reed never did. Reed just gives up and both him and Callie are incredibly gullible and naive. They are young but they don't ask any pertinent questions and they're logic is laughable. If Jake was gonna let Reed and Chasity stay at his apartment why couldn't Chasity stay there alone? I love a good angst filled book but i just wish it made actual sense.

Part one of The Broken Love Duet was an emotional angsty page turner which I devoured in one sitting. This author never fails to draw me in with her stories.
Mistakes I've Made sees the start of a beautiful friendship between Reed and Callie. Their friendship blossoms into a sweet all consuming kind a love which spirals into a painful torturous journey for them both.
My heart broke for Reed and Callie their circumstances connected them but
the odds weren't in their favour when manipulation, deceit, jealousy, mistakes and anger all played a part in their downfall.
Their story isn't an easy one, it's painful and ugly at times but I never doubted their feelings for each other, I felt their connection.
I'm really hoping Callie and Reed can find a way to overcome the mistakes they've both made in part two and get their happy ever after, they really deserve it. I'm keeping everything crossed.

Goodness gracious me
So, many who are fans of Jordan Marie's love her because her books are so fun and funny. You will literally laugh out loud reading a lot of her books.
This is NOT one of those books. It's deep, it's intense, it's got a lot of darkness and it's a cliffhanger because it's part of a duet. That's not for everyone ... and that's ok.
For me, I LOVED it. I loved some of the characters, hated a couple of them, felt sorry for a few, and kinda wanted to slap all of them lol But these are young adults and they can be idiots so ya know, kinda gotta roll with it.
The world building is top notch and the characters are definitely people I've known or encountered in read life, so really relatable.
I'm eagerly waiting for the conclusion to this duet so I can see if our hero and heroine find their way to their happily ever after, and what comes with that.
Well done Jordan. Very well done, indeed.

Mistakes I've Made will keep you guessing right up until the very last word. This is a duet so I knew there would be a cliffhanger but man I wasn't expecting to have quite to many questions. I'm definitely hooked for the next one!
Callie Street and Reed Lane, even their names are cute together! Their story is one of friendship, angst, and heartache. Throughout the book you're left wondering will they or won't they get their act together and be happy together. It's a roller coaster for sure. I won't willingly climb on one in an amusement park, but I would definitely sign up for this angsty ride every day of the week!!
Jordan Marie has proven once again that it doesn't matter what genre she writes, if she tackles it, she succeeds! She can keep us laughing just as easily as she can have us perched on the edges of our seats with suspense. She's definitely a one click author for me. I'm yet to read a book of hers that I don't like.

Not only does Callie have a difficult home life but she finds herself trying to adjust to a new town and a new school where she doesn’t know anyone. The one thing that makes it bearable is the friendship she develops with Reed that evolves into love but not everyone is happy that they are together.
Reed has a difficult home life of his own but being with Callie brings him a sense of peace unlike anything he has felt before. She makes him feel complete, but these soulmates are about to be betrayed and the damage will be done before they see it coming.
Callie and Reed are captivating, and their journey is at times heartbreaking. Their story definitely makes you feel and leaves you needing to know what the future holds for this couple.

I’m surprised by Kindle is still in tact
I absolutely LOVE the Lucas Brothers (and sisters) by Jordan, but dang…this is nothing like the hilarity and steam I’ve come to know and love with Jordan.
I swear I went through EVERY FREAKING EMOTION when reading this. I love Callie and Reed, but ugh…the lack of communication…and the bad thrown their way made me want to pull my hair out. And….oh…my HATE for Mitch and Chasity is STRONG!
You just feel for these characters! And…even though you knew it was coming…that cliffhanger…GAH!
I sure hope they get their happy by the end of the trilogy!

Mistake I've Made was a great story, it was a strong start to this duet, Jordan Marie did a fantastic job on the book, it was written well, the plot was strong, it was packed with so much emotions. I couldn't book the book down. Reed and Callie were strong characters. Their path was a rough one, they had many ups and downs but together, they were strong, they completed and healed each other, they were good for each other. I'm looking forward to reading more of their journey.
This was a great book, I'd recommend reading it.
Thank you, Jordan Marie. Wonderful job ❤
5 Stars!

When Reed meets Callie for the first time- he just knows she's important- he's immediately taken by her. Callie likes Reed but initially friend zones him... They become best friends- both too afraid to admit their feelings for each other. They finally give in after some major conflict orchestrated by some one else. Both of them have hard lives at home. Reed and his brother Mitch have a strained relationship and Mitch wants Callie. How far is Mitch willing to go to take what his brother has?
This is a fantastic first book to this duet. I highly recommend it!

I feel like I always say this but it's 10000000% true, Jordan has done it again. She's sucked me into this new world that is full of angst, longing, shoulda woulda coulda, and soul deep love. These characters have so much depth and ensure the unthinkable. The villian is despicable and I love how much she's made me hate him. I cannot believe what happened in this first book and am dying to see how this story continues. I know Jordan won't disappoint because let's be honest, I don't think she's capable of disappointment.

Definitely the makings of a country song and down home heartbreak.
Callie Street and Reed Lane came into each other’s lives at the right time and wrong time simultaneously. Their attraction and unfortunate secrets kept them apart. Once they admitted to their feelings, things progressed. But the past always finds it’s way back. Secrets always get revealed. Can they weather the storm or will they lose it all?

This book is absolutely incredible and so worth the wait!! Reed and Callie’s story will break your heart. It’s not easy and there’s definitely the need for more. Jordan Marie has such an amazing way of storytelling, the story grabs you and never let’s go. I was completely captivated and I could not put it down. It’s going to be hard to wait till October for the conclusion, I want there HEA so badly. Reed and Callie have been through hell , they totally deserve some happiness.
I also hate Mitch , I hope he gets what’s coming to him !!
This book is Absolutely Brilliant Jordan Marie!!

Mistakes I’ve Made will have you on a roller coaster of emotions. If you like Angst then your in for a treat. Callie and Reed are so in love but they make a lot of mistakes. Makes you want to jump in and shake the crap out of them. It leaves you with a doozy of a cliffhanger and a emotional hangover. I definitely recommend.

Wow!! Jordan Marie delivers a book full of angst, longing, heartbreak and sensual heat. Reed and Callie is a part of a broken heart duet. This book has twist and turns and will keep you on the edge of your seat. From page one to the end you will be hooked. This book is told in different points of view, no cheating, but does end on a cliffhanger. I highly recommend this book. Can’t wait for book two of the duet.

I was not prepared for the emotional roller-coaster this would bring. The story follows Callie and Reed from time they meet, in high school. At times I forgot they were in high school because of the level of drama and angst. Reed is head over heels for Callie and doesn't shy from that fact, while Callie initially just wanted to be friends,
which evolved to wanting more but kept it to herself...The book ends in a cliffhanger. I hope for their HEA.

Very few stories leave me speechless but this one has done it. I couldn’t decide from one minute to the next if I wanted to slap, or hug, Callie and Reed. I laughed,got mad and cried throughout this emotional roller coaster and I absolutely don’t know how I’m gonna wait for the conclusion. Congratulations Jordan Marie! This story was totally worth the wait

I was at the edge of my seat through this whole book. Reed and Callie are so much in love. Whatever could go wrong does go wrong in their relationship. They try to overcome their obstacles but a specific family member always keeps them apart. This book has all the feels. Love, betrayal, anger, trust and forgiveness. I need to know what happens to Callie and Reed in the next book.

My heart is breaking. This is one angsty read with so much heart that I don't even know how I was able to write my review. It took me a few days. Callie and Reed are everything and I kept rooting for them. I could feel their emotions coming off the page and then the author leaves us waiting for more. When is their next book coming because I need it now!

Jordan Marie has written another amazing book.
Reed and Callie have amazing chemistry but make mistakes along the way.
The story was full of emotion and does end in a cliffhanger.
This book runs the gambit of feelings.
I can't wait to read the next book.

Holy Moly what a ride. I was reading wide eyed. Jordan Marie hit me with all the angst!!
A perfectly titled book because this couple made mistakes at every turn, most of them no fault of their own. My heart broke over and over. There were some master manipulators pulling strings and reeking havoc to keep them apart.
Gah!! I loved it and cannot wait for the next the one.

Loved Reed and Callie's story so much! I was so emotional while reading, and honestly still recovering from their story while patiently waiting for the next one. One second I wanted to jump through and hug them, the next slap them and scream. Page turner from beginning to end! Filled with heartbreaks and deceit, but so much love too. I cannot wait to see what comes next!
