Breaking Away by Toni Aleo
5.0
Ok, don't throw anything at me, but….I haven't read the other books in the series. I know, I know, I'm a horrible person!! BUT, I won them all and just haven't had time and after talking to Toni I really wanted to support her new book and be part of the blog pimping (Toni is fabulous and the writing is outstanding!)...so I had to start with Phillip's book. Honestly, I can't complain about this. Yes, I did see a few things that are spoilers from the other books, but that won't deter me from reading them! Phillip has custody of his 16 year old niece and she's not happy about it. She's determined to put him through hell for leaving her and he's hell bent on taking care of her and getting her trust back.
We see a lot of the Assassin's family in this book and I love that! Reese is known as the "man-eating bitch" but we learn that's not actually the case. She's been hurt. Badly. And, she's not looking for love again. But, she sees Phillip and although they know each other there is a strong spark between them. Phillips is drawn to her even knowing her reputation and he wants her very badly! Their chemistry is off the charts and the sex is so hot!! I love their easy conversations and I really love Phillip. Really love him! He's funny, hot, sexy, stubborn, mouthy(I LOVED everything that came out of his mouth) and did I say sexy? Yum. It was also refreshing to see the man know what he wants and go after it. He never got scared and ran. Reese discovers that Claire is an amazingly talented dancer and they form an instant bond. We get to see the soft side of Reese with the way she begins to love Claire. I was very nervous that this wasn't going to end well! I laughed out loud (I messaged Toni more than a few times) and I cried. Sobbed. Is it possible to recover from heartbreak that leaves you so empty that you can't even imagine that someone could ever love you? Can you leave the past behind and trust those who claim to love you. How long will it take for you to decide? If you wait too long you could lose everything.
"Phillip has enough to worry about. He doesn't have time to have his heart broken by my man-eating twin," Piper teased. Reese faked a hurt look as she said ,"Hey, I make sure they are satisfied before I feed!"
Even though she was super sexy, he knew with one glance that she was a ball buster. Since he loved his balls very much, he tended to stay away.
She had no clue who the guy was, but she wanted to know him naked.
"I watch you, all the time. I have never wanted someone the way I want you."
He was a pussy killer, that's all there was to it.
"If you say last time, I'm going to poke you in the face with my dick," he warned, a playful glint in his eyes.
He knew it was worth it. Reese was meant for him. Like the way a stick was meant for a puck. The way skates were meant for the ice. It was natural, perfect even.
"We gotta get out of here before I set up a tent in here and never leave. You don't know how many guys I saw with tattoos and One Direction hair as I walked in here. Trouble, they are al trouble. Stay away, Claire!"
