Breaking Him by R.K. Lilley
BLURB
From internationally bestselling author R.K. Lilley comes a scorching new series with melt-the-pages tension and all-consuming angst. It’s love, it’s war and it’s Scarlett and Dante’s story.
Scarlett
It was the kind of relationship where I invested more than I had to spare.
I gave it everything.
And so when it failed, I lost myself.
It changed me. He changed me.
I went down with the ship.
My soul, burnt embers in the aftermath.
The fire of him ravaged it all.
He burned me.
Broke me.
Scarlett had always dreamed big. She was headed straight for Hollywood. Destined for silver screen greatness.
But in her wildest dreams she never imagined she’d be broke and single at twenty-eight, doling drinks at thirty-five thousand feet.
She was a glorified waitress in the skies.
It had been years since she’d seen him.
But one day, there he sat, gazing intently at her, ready to set everything ablaze once more.
Dante wanted her. Again.
Sure, she’d play along…but this time, it was his turn.
She was breaking him.
After all, love is war.
Book one in the Love is War duet.
MY REVIEW
6 STARS – New Top Favorite Read for 2015!
“Breaking him until he was as broken as me was the
only thing that would ever be enough.”
You know that
moment when you begin a book you’ve been waiting for and you think to yourself,
“OH DAMN! I’m not going to sleep tonight?” That was me after right after I read
the first page in this book!
“I wanted to score a hit before I ever even had to
look at him. He’d had the nerve to come into my territory. I’d make him pay.”
Scarlett and
Dante’s story is not your typical second chance, friends to lovers romance.
Their story is littered with land mines and slivers of shattered hearts that
stretches back years. Having met at a very young age and becoming one another’s
only true friend happened in the most unexpected way. Coming from two
completely different worlds did nothing to hinder their ever changing bond.
Inseparable from a young age, Scarlett and Dante have the kind of bond that is
in severable; no matter how badly they hurt each other or who tries to pry them
apart. Years have passed since they last seen each other, in a split second the
frenzy of hate, rage and temptation reignites an inferno of consuming emotions
and desire. The past betrayals are still seared on their tattered hearts, causing
old heartbreak to rear its ugly, vengeful head and the memories rush over them
once again. Brought back together under the worst possible circumstances seems
to be both a blessing and a curse. Scarlett hasn’t changed much over the years;
she’s still the angry and strong willed girl that Dante fell in love with as a
young boy. She has trust and abandonment issues, due to her childhood, but they
are warranted and I understood her on every level. She’s been abandoned,
mistreated and tormented almost her entire life how could she not be bitter and
jaded? Dante after all this time is very much affected by her, even when his
world is crumbling around him and he suffers a crushing loss. Even then their passion
refuses to be extinguished…
“I look back on that pivotal encounter of ours often,
and I always ending asking myself two questions. Like most things in my life,
they are at odds with each other. Did that meeting save me? Or did it ruin my
life?”
When R.K. Lilley
releases a new book, it goes on my kindle, no questions asked. I don’t even
need to read the blurb. She is one of my all-time favorite authors for a reason,
and Breaking Him is the newest reason on an endless list of whys. Her stories
and writing style never fail to put me into an obsessive state. James and
Bianca, Tristen and Danika, and now Scarlett and Dante, have wormed their way
into my heart and will never leave. Erotic romance at its absolute best,
Breaking Him will own you. It owned me from page one. I started it immediately
after I purchased it and I didn’t put it down until I had read every last word
at 1am this morning. It’s been a very long time, since I denied myself sleep
for a book, and this one was worth every single second. I had no clue what time
it was until I finished! Losing track of everything that was happening outside
the pages… best kind of reading experience EVER!
“I felt moved by two overwhelming urges in equal
parts. I wanted to slap him silly and fuck him blind.”
“Because I wanted to hurt him. As usual, I wanted to
make him bleed.”
Emotional to the
extreme, funny, sexy beyond reason and impassioned, this book took me on a
rollercoaster of emotions. I fell in love with Scarlett and Dante from the
start. Scarlett is the best kind of heroine, she’s as hard as nails, no one’s
push over and has a wall built around her heart that appears to be
indestructible. Dante, (WHO IS MINE BTW) is irresistible in every possible way;
he’s the hero, her hero, sexy, dominating, possessive and protective. I adored
him! (New Book Boyfriend ladies right here)! The best of parts of Breaking Him
are all of them, it’s impossible to pinpoint just one as the entire book is
just irrefutable perfection. The writing, the story, the emotion, the secrets, the
betrayals, the lies and omissions of truth, the chemistry and passion that sets
you on fire, all of it, just perfection!
“What happens when two people of terrible pride fall
for each other? Terrible things. Destruction. Chaos. Pain. Sorrow. War.”
R.K. Lilley
brought her A game and then some with this book, I want to scream from the roof
tops about how totally fabulous it is, it is your next top read for 2015! It’s
now on my top reads for the year and my all-time favorites list and deservedly
so. Breaking Him is the first book in a new series, Breaking Her is the sequel
that will follow later this year and with that being said, don’t wait, go NOW
and pick up this book! Massive Cliffhanger aside this needs to be your next
read, it was just that damn fabulous! Love. Is. War.
“He leaned close touching our foreheads together. “Not
this. Not us. Neither of us have a choice in this. You and I being together is
not a question, Scarlett, it’s a fact of life.”
