Breaking Free by Alexis Noelle

Title: Breaking Free

Author: Alexis Noelle

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 10, 2015 

 

Holly James is trying to move on with her life, but it’s not easy. She can’t stand to be touched by anyone, not even her own family. She is a lost broken shell of the person that she used to be. She realizes that shutting everyone out is much easier then opening up and letting someone hurt her. 

 

 

Drew Walker is no prince charming. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself and has no intention of changing. He loves the life of excitement and entitlement that comes with being the lead singer of a band, and has no plans to get tied down anytime soon.

When these two meet there is an immediate chemistry. The thing that surprises Holly is that she can tolerate his touch. He makes her feel like herself once again and gives her the freedom and comfort she has been desperate to find. On the other hand he is self-centered, egotistical, and everything that she should stay away from.

What happens when the one person who can save you might also be the person who can break you?

“There was something about Drew, but I had no idea what it was. He was self-centered, cocky, and definitely not prince charming. Maybe that’s why I liked him though. Maybe I didn’t want to be saved by the handsome prince. Maybe I wanted to be corrupted by the evil king.”

**Breaking Free is for mature audiences only—strong language, and explicit sexual content are apparent.**

Raised to be the “perfect” wife, Victoria has spent her days maintaining her impeccable outward appearance and her nights mingling with the rich and entitled. When her engagement to Scott ended, Victoria thought she’d be rid of him and his circle of friends forever, but a chance encounter with Brock will change not only the way she sees him, but the way she sees herself.

Brock is a man who’s happy and content with his life. A surrogate parent to his now-adult brothers, he spends his days running the company he built himself and his nights playing in his brothers’ local band. When he runs into Victoria in the bar after a show, sparks unexpectedly fly, and he’s interested in seeing where it goes.

But can the man who’s happy with his life, convince the woman who always wants more, to give him a shot with only 15 Minutes on the clock?

This is book 4 in this series, and I have not read the others. I didn’t feel I was missing anything by not doing so, as much of what happened in those stories isn’t relevant to this one, or is recapped enough for me to follow.

This review will be short, because, while I enjoyed reading this, I didn’t love it. And a three star review, for me, is the hardest to write.

so, What I did like:
its not too complicated, a touch too long for a regular hangover cure, but it will sit on that shelf. Both Victoria and Brock get thier say, and they say it so well. They do get their HEA, even if they go about it the hard way.

What I didn’t like.
Victoria and Brock both get their say, but its in the FIRST PERSON and it flips. Each flip is a chapter change and is headed, but still, I didn’t like the first person bit here.

I hate not being able to say whay a book doesn’t work for me, ya’ll know I do! This is one of those books, my gut reaction is 3 stars, and I can’t find a way to give it any more. 3Fangs.
