Breaking Love by Melanie Summers

4.0

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.
