Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

Sometimes the best thing a good girl can do is make a bad decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica has always been the girl with her head in the clouds and her nose in a book, only dating the \u201cnice guys\u201d. But when rough-around-the-edges Viking-biker-god, Mad Max, and his precocious little girl move onto her street, Jessica falls hard and fast for both of them.<\/p>\n

Max is no stranger to women wanting to share his bed\u2014and he\u2019s always been more than happy to oblige them all. He\u2019s lived wild all his life\u2014that is, until a daughter shows up on his doorstep and he meets a redheaded angel down the block.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing more he wants than to claim Jessica as his, to bring the gorgeous spitfire to his bed. But a man like him doesn\u2019t get a happy ending with a woman like her. He\u2019s got a whole other life, one he\u2019s kept secret for good reason.<\/p>\n

If Jessica found out what he really is, there\u2019s no way she could love him. He should keep his hands to himself. But he\u2019s Mad Max\u2014he\u2019s never done the right thing, and he\u2019s not going to start now.<\/p>\n

Warning: Contains a dominating alpha male who\u2019s a lot more than he seems, and a good girl with a swirl of flavors under her vanilla.

Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a wish I never dared ask for, everything I ever wanted.\u201d <\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3.5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this book! A chemistry-filled love story between a seemingly straight-laced \u2018good girl\u2019 and a hard-living, rough biker who is a single father. This book is the third in the Break on Through<\/i> series, and though I haven\u2019t read the earlier books in the series, this one can easily be read as a standalone. It\u2019s fun, sexy, a little bit dirty and gorgeously romantic with a bit of angst and drama, and I loved it.<\/p>\n

Jessica is a smart, successful woman with big dreams about finding her one true love and living a fairytale happy ever after. She is a \u2018good girl\u2019 who loves her books and who dates nice guys, but it\u2019s the rough and badass biker down the street that she really wants. Max was there for her at a time when she needed somebody, and together with his charmingly precocious daughter, they stole Jessica\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n

Max\u2019s life hasn\u2019t been easy, and he has always lived wild and taken whatever pleasure he can from whoever is willing to offer it. His life changed when his daughter was dropped off onto his doorstep and he suddenly had to become a father, but the other big shift came when he met the sexy redhead down the street. Jessica is everything he never knew he wanted, but he is a hard man and his life is complicated and he doesn\u2019t believe she can handle everything that is him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to dirty you up. The kind of stains and scars I leave behind don\u2019t come out.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love the set up to this romance. There has obviously been some build up in the previous book, but I didn\u2019t feel like I had missed out on anything. The author throws us straight into a sexually-tense stand-off between Jess and Max and the chemistry between them is fantastic!<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many times do I have to tell you not to call me Gingersnap?\u201d
\n\u2026 \u201cI hear every word, Gingersnap. I just choose to ignore the shit you say that doesn\u2019t work for me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What I love the most about these two is how open they are with each other. There are issues standing in their way of being together, but they don\u2019t hide their feelings, and the interplay between them is so much fun. Max tries to keep Jess at arm\u2019s length, but she fights back, and it\u2019s a fantastic dynamic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t deny you\u2019re fucking beautiful and I get off on the way you stand up to me. Not many women have your guts and even fewer have your brains. And I know you\u2019ve been waiting for me to make my move. I can\u2019t deny I\u2019d like to ease that ache you\u2019ve got buildin\u2019 there for me. It wouldn\u2019t take me long to get you all worked up under me, begging for my tongue and my dick between your legs. But as much as I may love a good lick of vanilla, I know me and I\u2019d get bored. So, I\u2019m trying to do the right thing here. You get me?\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the record?\u201d I took a couple of steps into his space this time. \u201cJust because a woman doesn\u2019t like to let it all hang out doesn\u2019t mean she isn\u2019t wild. Don\u2019t let the long skirts and laced-up boots fool you. If you were to get even a li\u2019l taste of me, you would\u2019ve discovered under my vanilla is a whole swirl of different flavors.\u201d I grabbed his belt buckle and pulled him to me. \u201cAnd all of them are very kink-friendly, just dying for the right man to own me.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Squeee!! I love it!!! And when Max recognises Jess for the spitfire she is and can\u2019t hold himself back any longer, it\u2019s all on!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you\u2019re getting in my face over something you believe in or crying in my arms over something that\u2019s brought you to your knees, you break and mend what\u2019s left of me every time.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love these two together! Sexy and fun, there\u2019s a lot of emotion between them and I could feel it all! I loved Jess\u2019 strength in following her heart and standing up and fighting for what she wanted, and I loved seeing Max\u2019s softer side as he was there for his girl, protecting her heart and making it clear that he wants to build something with her. And his heartfelt declarations had me swooning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did absolutely nothing to deserve a woman like you, but I promise, from this moment on, I\u2019m going to be the man to protect every fuckin\u2019 perfect thing you are.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But there is so much more to Max than Jess could ever have realised. And when the reality of his life is revealed, will she be able to handle the danger that comes with it? Especially when it hits so close to home.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, the romance was great, and there was enough drama going on to keep things interesting. The angst is minimal, realistic and handled well and I could understand and feel everything that was happening. There\u2019s a tie-in to the previous book, but it\u2019s all explained well and I never felt lost, and those who have read the earlier books in the series will enjoy the development for those characters.<\/p>\n

The story moves pretty quickly and it\u2019s really short, and honestly I would have preferred things to be a bit more drawn out so we could enjoy the anticipation and see a bit more of Jess and Max together. It feels like we got a highlight reel of the highs and lows, when I would have loved a little bit more detail to full immerse myself in their story (and an epilogue would have been nice). But I really liked it and I was happy with the way the story played out.<\/p>\n

3.5 stars.<\/p>\n

About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
A woman with the heart of a revolutionary,
\nThe mind of a pragmatist,
\nAnd the inappropriate humor of your tipsy BFF…Born in California and raised in South Florida, I’ve moved around like a gypsy with a bounty on my head ever since. Along the way, I’ve worked as a community organizer, a professional matchmaker, an art teacher, a popular blogger, and a crisis counselor (to name a few). All the while, longing to have the guts and follow-through to do what I really wanted: to write and become a published author. That wish has finally come true and tickled pink with glitter over this good piece of fortune.<\/p>\n

What else? Hmm…I love indie, lo-fi, complaint rock played on vinyl, wearing black because it’s slimming, the theater, well-informed optimism, happy endings (both kinds),and making those close to me laugh ’til they snort. I’m a self-admitted change junkie, loving new experiences and places, but have now happily settled in the cutest lil’ town, Vienna, Virginia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
