So let me tell you about this awesome book.....

So...there's this book, right?! And it's good. I mean amazingly good! Let me set you up...

Caroline Piasecki is a sophmore in college and has broken up with Nate, her high school boyfriend who attends the same college six months ago. After what she thought was an amicable break-up she finds pornographic photos of herself online that only Nate would have.

And while I know everyone out there is like, "You Idiot! You don't let people take pictures." Believe me, I was one of them too. But then I read this wonderful point of view, why are we condemning her when Nate, her trusted boyfriend at the time, is the one who put them online?

But that doesn't stop pervy strangers from emailing, texting and calling her with their sick fantasies.

*and cue more pissed-off giphs*

 

So anyway...Caroline, who one day wants to hold political office, has this crap to deal with while maintaining her classes and dealing with the emotional and psychological damage these photos have inflicted. 

In comes West. West isn't your typical college student and he isn't your common, swoop in and make everything better hero. He has his own problems. And they stem from his home life in Silt, Oregon. West works three different jobs, sells weed and is pre-med at the university. He does this all so he can send the money home to keep his mother and sister from relying on his abusive father. While West works his crazy hours, days and nights, Caroline finds the only way to curb her insomnia, is to hang out with West while he works nights at a bakery. 

A friendship forms. And naturally, as in all romances, their relationship becomes more complicated. 

This book is an amazing display of emotionally full developed characters. Not only is this book hot, it's fast paced and I could not put it down! 

You find yourself cheering for Caroline as she slowly reclaims her confidence, self esteem, friends and sexuality. I have fictional heroines I admire and Caroline will always be one of them.

So I've Come to Realize...

I started Breaking Books back at the end of January 2014 and since then I've been going pretty consistently. I've announced some books, I've reviewed a bit, and I've had some personal posts as well. Today, I noticed my posts keep sliding back to contemporary romance. However, I wanted Breaking Books to be a blog about a variety authors, genres, and books coming up through different channels.

Finally, after all these months of struggling to keep a good variety of books on display, I've succumbed to my true self.

I. am. a. romance. reader.

I know, everyone who has followed me on Breaking Books has probably figured that out and I knew it too. I just didn't want to become ANOTHER romance book blog. (There are so many out there, it's ridiculous.)

Not only do I have some very important and wonderful authors to rave about, but I have some romance writing topics to discuss. So if you follow, you may end up loving it or you may hate it. But at least I will be posting about my true interest. 

**WARNING**
 It might get steamy, it may even get a little sexy on this blog, but I promise to keep it professionally sexy and steamy ;).

Happy Reading!
