ARC RECEIVED FOR AN HONEST REVIEW

When I Break had me at "Warning: Contains a stubborn alpha male with addiction issues and loads of sexual tension between two damaged characters."

Knox is the consummate bad boy. Legal trouble, slut, trouble with a capital T.

McKenna is the consummate good girl. A fixer. A helper. A virginal sex addiction counsellor ~ I know, it sounds like a bizarre career choice!

When their worlds collide in sex addicts counselling, it is just trouble in the making!

But there is so much more to both of these characters. They have both had tragic events in their pasts that have shaped who they are today. Guilt controls them both and will either make them or break them.

Can these two complete opposites be perfect together, or will their differences be too great and keep them apart? For that you are going to have to read for yourself.

I loved the Knox that is beneath the bad boy. I am not going to go into what he is all about, but swoon worthy I tell you!

While there are some funny moments and times when you just want to groan and roll your eyes, their stories are such that you cannot help but get invested in them. Both so young with so much on their shoulders, you just know that eventually they are going to crack, but what will the consequences be?

It did bother me a little that with all her counselling training McKenna has not learned that she is not at fault for things that happened to others, considering that is what she is teaching others? I know that it is always easier looking in, but her constant blame game started to grate on me a little bit and made me roll my eyes at her ~~ but this could just be me?

The sexual chemistry between Knox and McKenna is off the charts. You could cut the UST with a knife!!! Where will it all end up?

For that we are all going to have to wait until the next book.

And beware, just as things were getting really interesting.... BAM! We were cliffhangered!!

But this didn't bother me as much as it might have, as I did know it was going to be one, and it is not too long until the next installment is published.

I am looking forward to seeing where Knox and McKenna's "relationship" goes as this series continues.
