Breaking Drake by Joel Abernathy
4.0
I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest review.
This is my favorite in the series for sure.
Sterling and Drake were prefect to each other and i enjoyed their back and forth immensely!
What I Loved...
- The Characters:
Drake has intrigued me from the beginning and I knew his story would be such a joy to read. He's such a paradox... Dominant and assertive in all aspects of his life, but craves pain and submission in bed.
Sterling, who was introduced in book 2, has been on again, off again with Drake since they were teenagers. he wants to break Drake, to possess him, to destroy him and then put him back together. Sterling knows that was he feels for Drake is love and he shows it the only way he knows how.
- The Plot...
It revolves around Sterling and Drake finding they way towards each other. They are gunning for the same position and promotion and they keep clashing in and out of the bedroom.
The Romance..
Although unorthodox, these men are romantic in their own way. Make no mistake, you won't find any lovey-dovey talk and gestures, but they do show their care for each other in other ways.
The Steam...
Needless to say, its HAWT! I also appreciated the fact that even though these men aren't together in every sense of the word for most of the book, we don't see them getting it on with other people. That's always a bonus!
The HEA...
It was so THEM, and so perfect for the overall mood of the book. I was smiling through the whole epilogue and it was one of my favorite chapters in the whole book.
Niggles...
- The flashbacks got a bit confusing at the beginning, so I would have rather had them in the beginning of the book... as a sort of preface or prologue.
- I would have loved more time to see them together as a couple... like on a date or something. That would have made their relationship progression that much better.
