Breaker
by Harloe Rae
With school, I can barely focus on reading a YA fantasy right now. So I am reading tons of romance novels. The past books I've found have been a let-down so far.
I saw this on my recommended section on Amazon and decided to buy it as the premise sounded really promising and it's about unrequited love. Heartaches? Heck yeah.
I really liked the beginning of the story. However, as I am getting into it, I noticed a pattern. The author got a little too poetic with describing emotions and metaphors. It got so much that I started reading it word per word and highlighting the most ridiculous I've read so far.
Here's some:

Here's some:
The bike vibrates beneath me, sending my synapses into a tailspin.
The continuous lust pumping into me is testing all sorts oflimitslimitations. I'm already toeing the line, desperation clawing at me for release. My control is a rapidly fraying thread. The girl behind me holds a scissor./
I AM LOST
And there's more!His mouth locks over mine, tongues gliding together in a mutual of forever.
This line had me realize a couple of stuff. The book was not what I was wanting in terms of stories of unrequited story. This was barely one. After denying her before she left, he gave in right when he came back.
I appreciate the author's poetic metaphors but overdone.
There wasn't any drama between them or just any juice to the story. After playing the game of finding the most ridiculous line in the book, I gave up. As it turned out, the book became more ridiculously flat as it went on.
There was so much more to Grady yet it was not properly discovered. We get to see his internal conflict when it comes to his mom but Sutton appears and he is saved. I really wish there was more push and pull between them. Their story could have ended in Chapter 10 and that is till page 93 out of 328.
Buddy just woke up suddenly wanting her without his internal battles stopping him. I wanted to like it. But my heart was not given a chance to hurt, hope, and flutter.
