I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I must say, I loved it! I have only read two of her books so far but she's already one of my favorite authors!

I was really excited to read this book and it didn't disappoint. I really like this read overall. The critics I have are the following: I thought there wasn't enough character development about Luc, there was some repetition about Megan's feeling at some point, the ending was too short and I didn't really liked the fact that Megan had no idea about Luc being unaware of the pregnancy. On that last point, if you love someone, you should know that person enough to know he's not the kind of person to drop you like that and I know Megan had relationship problems, but to me, that was an indication of a communication problem.
Other than those critics, I loved this read. It had been a while since I read a book through the early hours because I couldn't put it down. I was really happy when he finally met her son and those scenes were hilarious. It was steamy, but just enough and so it wasn't repetitive.

Luc Chevalier had it all, he was money, women, and his life as a bachelor. Luc never felt like anything was missing, until he met Megan Sullivan. Initially he denies the spark, he acts on it but could it be possibly more than a few days?
Megan learned a long time ago that she would never put her heart out there again. Megan is dedicated to her life as a single mom, but when she finds herself being pursued by Luc she takes a temporary leap of faith. When Luc decides to come after her, Megan is left with wanting something that she is not sure to be true. With outside complications in their way, will they be able to survive their newly found relationship?
Unexpected delight. Luc was a fantastic hero, he is a bit unsure of himself which is completely opposite of who he is. I thought that Megan was an wonderful match to Luc, they both continue to catch each other off guard. Perfect read for a weekend.

In ‘Breaking Love’ we meet single mom Megan. Megan is in her mid-thirties and is singlehandedly taking care of her 6 year old son. Megan left her husband years ago after his addiction with drugs got out of hand. Now Megan is taking care of her son, working hard to establish her own business and also taking care of the household. Megan has completely sworn of man and romance. When Megan gets invited to visit her best-friend in Paris she is thrilled with the prospect of doing something for herself. After her mom convinces her to go and have fun in Paris, Megan grabs her stuff and meets her friend in the city-of-love.
Luc Chevalier is a French powerful billionaire and he is well known for being a womanizer. Luc is in his early forties and he never wanted woman to stay longer than a day. But then Luc meets Megan, and he is blown away by her kindness, beauty, stubbornness and perseverance. Megan is immediately taken away by Luc’s handsome face and French accent but she knows she has to stay away from him. But soon Megan and Luc’s life changes forever and a new adventure begins.
‘Breaking Love’ was from the beginning on a very easy book to read and to get into. Right from the very first page I felt like I knew the characters. They felt really real to me.
I love books about strong independent woman and Megan definitely fits this description. Megan lives her life for her son and she does everything to make this little guy happy. From the moment I read about Megan’s past I could completely understand why she is the way she is. I felt an immediate connection with her and it made this book even better.
This book is written from both Megan and Luc’s point of view. I loved that. This book was very passionate and I really enjoyed it. Especially the parts where Luc started talking French. I mean OMG… who doesn’t like the sound of a handsome man talking French.?!
The character I loved the most in this book was definitely Megan. She was just so strong and a great example for her son. Even though Megan forgets a little to live her own life she works so hard to make up for the mistakes her ex-husband made. I found her very admirable. I honestly cheered when Megan went to Paris to have some fun for herself.
And the thing I love the most about this book was the passion between Megan and Luc. They both had their fears and this made them very real to me. I loved the interactions between them and their where plenty of sexy scenes.
This was definitely a nice and enjoyable read for me. A perfect book to read on the couch with a blanket and surrounded by candle light.

Copy received from netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
At the end of 1st novel series - Break in Two - Luc (the main character in this novel) was introduced. As author has already mentioned - This is not a sequel as such, but rather picks up where Luc left off in Break in Two.
Luc Chevalier is charming and arrogant and handsome and lots of thing you can expect from half French-half American man. I liked his character and wits of him.
Megan Sullivan lives a boring life of single parent with her 6 years old son and her mother. A trip to Paris and it changes her life.
I like grow-up love stories and this one is one of them. I like setting and story development - it goes all natural. I found Megan's son a bit too understanding but I guess being raised by single parent can do that to a child, I don't know for sure...it is just sad and unsettling. This is what I like about this series, it doesn't concentrate on main characters only but also provide bit of glimpse to rest of characters like Elliott, Ian, Harper (Megan's best friend), Megan's mom Helen and even Charlie...and I like all of them :)
All in all a great read and I have already started on 3rd of the series - Breaking Clear - Harper's story....

4.5/5
Although this is the second book in the Full Hearts series, you do not need to read book one before you start reading Breaking Love, which is exactly how I have started this steamy series!
I must admit, that I didn't really have high expectations when I began reading this, not that they were low, it's just that I wasn't sure how this novel could be different from all the others. I am however pleased to say that Breaking Love more than exceeded my expectations and was proven very wrong in my predictions as to how it would go!
I absolutely loved MJ Summers story writing, she really manages to suck you in and I was actually quite surprised at how engrossing I found Luc and Megan's story.
Luc has it all. Money, cars, women and lives in Paris. You could say he is every woman's dream, but no woman has been able to get Luc to settle down; that is until he meets Megan. Megan is a single Mum and she isn't looking for love. Having been hurt badly before, she doesn't want to let another man come into her and her son's lives; but she hadn't banked on meeting Luc! Can two people who aren't looking for love, manage to see what is right in front of them?
This story also had a depth to it that you might not necessarily expect. Luc and Megan are both complicated characters and although this made for some great reading, at the same time it was frustrating. There were many times in this where I really wanted to bang their heads together at their stupidity and brought on self-misery. They infuriatingly keep denying their feelings for one another when it is so obvious that what they have is special.
Despite the occasional frustrations, this was an incredibly enjoyable read. It's steamy, it's romantic, it's full of drama and passion. A seriously engrossing, unputdownable read. I will now be backtracking and reading the first book in the Full Hearts series.
