ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 29, 2025

We were inseparable once.

Three hearts tangled in a small town no one escapes, bound by secrets, sorrow, and something that always felt like fate.

We were always meant to find each other.

Even if the world tried to break us apart.

Even if love arrived far too soon.

We were just kids trying to make it through.

But together, we made something sacred.

Until the day it all shattered.

Now we’re adults with scarred hearts and fractured trust.

The love we shared wasn’t big—It was everything.

And if we dare to rebuild it . . .

We risk destroying ourselves all over again.

REVIEW:   🏒 Hockey Why Choose 🏒

Before We Break Again by the ever talented Claudia Burgoa has finally arrived. This slow burn, hockey, why choose romance will thrill the hockey loving readers and spark their minds. If you’re not into why choose, this book won’t be for you. No major trigger warnings.

Santos, Dustin and Halsey were once scared children clinging to each other, best friends who found love in one another. But as the world likes to remind us, bad things always happen and they are forced apart by their parents. Santos and Dustin are able to remain together, but Halsey is left with no one hole in her heart, but two. Now years later they are together again. Santos now down from a horrible injury, threatening his hockey career turns Dustin who acts as a band-aid, but does all he can to bring Dr. Halsey to assist Santos in the healing process. Dustin too is dealing with his own troubles and isn’t the same carefree boy he once was.

Wow! What a heckin ‘journey this one was. It’s not all gooey love scenes, it’s raw emotion and brutal truth, three people that found each other young and had the world telling them it was wrong. Santos, Dustin and Halsey have been through the ringer, and it’s not done with them yet. After Santos’ injury, and Halsey’s return, there is much to unpack with all three of them and that really gets to the meat of the story. Santos is healing, but Dustin is also dealing with his addiction, not to mention Halsey coming to terms with seeing them both again. There is angst, there is spice, there is drama, there is passion, there is character growth and there is love. I really hope to see more from this world!
