Breaking Away by Toni Aleo
4.0
I just can’t get enough of this series! It’s like a little slice of happiness every time a new book comes out. Each story from this series has been wonderful and Breaking Away was exactly that, wonderful.
Phillip is such an amazing character. In the first few chapters, you find him searching for his niece, Claire, who has basically ran away and he makes the decision that he will now take full responsibility for raising her. But raising her isn’t as easy as he hoped it would be and has to rely on one of Reese’s sisters to watch her while he is away at his games. This gives Reese a chance to meet Claire and realizes that she is a fantastic dancer and since Reese owns a dance studio, there couldn’t be a better pairing in friendship between Reese and Claire. However, friendship is not what Phillip wants from Reese once he finally gets to know her. He wants so much more than Reese is willing to give.
This story isn’t all about Phillip and Reese and how specular they are together, even when Reese won’t admit it; this story has more behind it than lust and love. As a reader, you get to read about the hell-like childhood that Phillip was raised in and what Claire suffered through while growing up under her mother’s house. You also get to see a glimpse of why Reese is so adamant to stay just friends with benefits over starting a relationship with Phillip.
If you have enjoyed the other books in this series, I have no doubt that you will enjoy this one as well.
