Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Publisher's summary
One moment destroyed our perfect love.
This is an emotional, angsty, tearjerker, why choose romance duet by USA Today best-selling a author Claudia Burgoa.
I fell in love with Archer St. James long ago. We were children, but our hearts just knew it. We were soulmates. Our love was eternal. But it wasn’t.
My future and my heart shattered the day he died. Well, they say he died, but I still sense him. They call it ghost pains. It’s like my soul can’t live without him. And after seven years, I’m almost ready to let him go....
There are two men who claimed to care for me—even love me. One looks almost like the man I lost. The other is so different, but the invisible link between us pulls me to him. My already shattered heart is torn between the past, the present, and a dangerous future with two men.
The End of Me is the first book of The Downfall of Us Duet. An angst-filled why choose MMF romance about broken hearts, loss, and hope.

Story
The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized. As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn't an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint.

Fantastic start to an epic MMF love story!
What a wild start to an emotional rollercoaster ride! The End of Me by Claudia Burgoa is book 1 of The Downfall of Us Duet, filled with hope, angst, and suspense. The intricacies of this plot are so intense! Archer and Piper had the perfect love story, which was taken away from them when Archer disappears. Piper’s continued faith that Archer will return doesn’t falter, however, she does meet a new neighbor, Derek, whom she slowly learns to confide in. I devoured this audiobook in one sitting, and it left my heart pounding, longing, and needing more.
Maxine Mitchell, Jason Clarke, and Lance Greenfield narrate this audiobook, and all three gave powerful performances which left me feeling all the things. Maxine fully embodied Piper’s conflicted, haunted, and assured persona in a performance that had me in tears and admiring her strength and fight. (Yes, lady!) Jason was amazing as always taking on the personas of the dreamy and steadfast, Archer, and the sardonic and determined, Finn. His ability to distinctly perform two complex personalities who are actually the same character was spot on! Lance captured Derek’s frustrations, persistence, and dedication to Piper and Finn perfectly!
Overall, I LOVED this book! If you are a fan of a suspenseful MMF romance with a passionate editor and violinists, a hunky writer who works in high stakes security, a retired seal turned therapist, childhood sweethearts, amnesia, love letters, purple eyes, suspense, violin playing in the subway, remembering your dream girl, confiding in family, hanging on the past, friendly neighbors, danger, a heart clinching climax, and a cliffhanger ending that will leave you needing answers and wanting more, then you will love the start of Piper, Archer, and Derek’s story. I am so ready for

I went into this audiobook kind of blind and I'm so glad I did. This was a very emotional, heartbreaking story about loss and grief. Performed in dual narration with text and emails performed in duet by Maxine Mitchell, Jason Clarke and Lance Greenfield. These three were outstanding. Maxine's performance as Piper was amazing. She portrayed the undying love that Piper has for Archer. She showed Piper's emotions so well. Jason's performance as Archer was very memorable. My heart melted and swooned. Lance exuded Derek's ability to help and care for people deeply. The emotional connections Derek made were felt through Lance's performance.

Story
Glad I have the next book downloaded...
Archer St. James was a person I have heard about in several books; how he went missing in a mission that went wrong and has since been presumed de@d. But seven years later, Piper still holds on to the fact that she can feel his heart beating, so she knows he's alive. This story starts with the events that caused Archer's disappearance, and we see what a toll it has played on Piper's heart, especially as she goes through the letters and videos that he left for her in the event he was k!lled on a mission.
This isn't an easy time for Piper, but she does everything Archer sets out for her in each of his letters, which includes getting help at the practice, which is how she meets Derick. D and Piper have great chemistry, and even though she feels the pull, there is no way she will betray the man she knows is still alive.
I don't want to give too much away about what happened to Archer. Still, he is @live, only he has amnesia and cannot remember anything about his past, heck he can't even remember how to walk or read so he is given a physical therapist that will help him become what he was told he was before the accident...a little hint he wasn't who he is told he is.
This story had a nice flow to it, and I loved that Piper and Derick got close and that Piper had established a working relationship with Finn through texts that at times, became a little flirty.
I listened to the audiobook version, and the narration from Jason Clarke, Maxine Mitchell, and Lance Greenfield brought this story to life. I loved how they went back and forth between one another when there were text messages. Instead of just the narration of whom the chapter was mainly about, it was done in duel narration which was amazing.
This book ended on a cliffhanger, and I am so glad I downloaded WHEN FOREVER FINDS US so I could dive right in.
This book is perfect for readers that enjoy Contemporary Romances, Grumpy/Sunshine Romances, Age Gap Romances, Triad Romances, Second Chance at Love Romances, Workplace Romances, or Romances that include a person with Disabilities (mental trauma, amnesia, etc.)

Childhood friends to lover- amnesia
Okay this book was exhausting in the best way and it’s still not over! This duet crushed me, swooned me, made me so frustrated and mad…
Piper and Archer have been soul mates since kindergarten. Married each other secretly on his 21st birthday and have been inseparable. Archer went on a mission with Piper’s uncle’s security team and is now MIA. Piper knows he’s not gone even though everyone around her is saying he is.
Derek is hired to help a young man after getting hurt and has amnesia in South America. He helps this man even though he knows deep down this man’s “father” is lying about him being his son and is trying to get something from him. He helps train this amnesia man but once a doctor says there’s no need for Derek, Derek takes off before they ki.ll him. This young man goes on a mission for his “dad” to kick a land owner off his land but upon arrival the owner offers him help. Takes him under his wing to Europe and helps him. He becomes Finn.
Derek after leaving goes back to NY and gets hired under Piper. Piper runs a business to help heal people with music and Derek is there as a therapist. Feeling Archer is still out there she keeps Derek at an arms length, even though she knows she could fall for him.
This whole time, Archer left a box of notes and gifts for Piper in case a mission he fails to come back from will help heal her. I absolutely bawled 50% of this book. The commentary of Archer in the box was so sad!
I listened to this book on audio and it made the story come alive that much more!!!! Now I’m off listen to the second part of this duet.
Tropes:

Whoa!
Loved the build up - it kept me on my toes! I can’t wait for the next book. This is the first book I’ve listened to by this author. I was really confused by the female MC’s family and extended family, and I started to zone a lot of that out, hoping it wasn’t necessary. It wasn’t, but it’s probably really fun if you’ve listened to other Decker Family books and understand the family dynamics. Also, I’m not really into erotica so I was afraid it would be tons of MMF sex without a lot of character development and chemistry, but it’s a great story.

Emotional Journey!
I thought I was ready for The End Of Me (The Downfall Of Us #1) because I wanted Piper and Archer's story so bad, but I wasn't ready for the emotional torment that it put me through. The letters and videos that Archer left for Piper undid me. The narrators did an amazing job and brought this story to life and brought more emotions to the surface. I was relieved that her cousins were there for her through some of it. Claudia sure does know how to write a book that pulls at your heartstrings, makes you cry, get angry and then laugh at the right times.
This was a complicated love triangle filled with angst and alot of emotions. Each, in their own way, have suffered heartache, loss, tragedy and pain. But they have also experienced love. This story will have you crying, yelling and begging for more. The cliffhanger left me speechless and I can't wait for When Forever Finds Us to find out what happens and if these 3 have a chance at love!

Love this captivating and emotional story!
The End of Me is an unputdownable story about three people who share an undeniable but cloaked connection. It's full of suspense, secrets, longing, heartache, and unconditional love. I have been so excited for Archer and Piper's story and Derek adds even more reasons to love this captivating and addicting story! Archer is missing after a failed mission. Piper never gives up hope that the love of her life is still alive, still feeling his soul in her heart. Derek is a physical therapist, and ex SEAL who comes into Pipers life, helping her to heal and after years, consider a new life. A man he helped heal physically after a tragic accident, and helped escape a life threatening situation, asks him to work with him in his new security company. Finn is still struggling with his amnesia. He is grateful for Derek, and excited about his new life, along with the woman who is helping him move forward, but has never met in person. They all have complicated feelings, but have fiercely guarded hearts from past experiences. When danger catches up to them, will they be able to survive before losing not only their lives, but their hearts as well? I loved all three of these characters so much, and the direction and journey their story took me on. The organic way each of their connections and relationships grew was beautiful and touching. Their interactions had me holding my breath as I was putting things together along with them, and wondering how this would all play out.
Jason Clarke, Maxine Mitchell, and Lance Greenfield narrate this captivating story beautifully. They nailed all the characters so completely, making me see, and understand them so clearly, and helping me to empathize with them as well. They made this story even more exciting, and I was completely consumed by this thrilling, passionate and addictive story!
The heart pounding ending was a nailbiter and I can't wait for what happens next in the second book of this duet, When Forever Finds Us!

Great story
I received this book as a ALC and I loved how three people shared such an emotional connection. One who can remember his life but can remember his love is very powerful. One who just met and has such a powerful connection a love at first sight. The story fell together nicely and the authors just made it better.

Gripping
Having read numerous books by Claudia Burgoa I knew that this book was going to be an emotional roller coaster of a read and I was not wrong. The End of Me is the first book in The Downfall of Us Duet. This book ripped my heart out and had me in tears on so many occasions I gave up counting. I was left with one heck of a book hangover after finishing and am thankful that we do not have to wait too long to read the conclusion to this duet.
I do believe you may benefit from reading previous books in the family first, not totally necessary but I think it may make this a more enjoyable read. Archer St James and Piper have been in love since they were children but when he fails to return from a mission for The Organization she believes in her heart that he is still alive.
Whilst those around her encourage her to move on, Piper knows deep in her soul that Archer is out there somewhere. Meeting Derek Farrow, a former SEAL and now an occupational therapist complicates her life more than Piper expected when he slowly brings her heart back to life; Derek’s protectiveness of Piper was heart-warming.
This book moved from the past to present and at times I did find myself a little confused. Finn was a character that I was drawn to and it will be interesting to learn his story as it unfolds. There is a distinct connection between Piper, Derek and Finn and I cannot wait to find out more as the story unfolds.
I am on the edge of my seat waiting (not so patiently) for the conclusion which releases in a couple of weeks. A well written MMF that will draw you in and keep you hooked from the first to the last chapter.
The performances b y Jason Clarke, Maxine Mitchell and Lance Greenfield brought this emotion story to life for me. Their voices are easy to listen to and they did justic to the story that Ms.Burgoa wove.
