Against All Odds - Breaking Hearts Duet #1 - Review

Couple: Sierra with Zander, Braxton, Cyrus and…maybe Colt and Wes (in the ned)

Author: Bre Rose

Tropes: RH, contemporary, bully romance, miscommunication, hidden identity, why choose

Review: This was my first time reading a Bee Rose book and it did not disappoint. The books does have bullying themes and hints of past sexual assault so it may trigger some readers. However, I thought it was a great beginning to Sierra’s story and so tragic but lovely at the same time.

The book handles the tough themes wonderfully and makes you question how Sierra is so strong in her care for her sister. While reading part 1, I continually asked myself how she could still be so optimistic and goal oriented even when so many things bring her down.

The book is a why choose romance and Sierra is a young woman who hides her past very well. The main villain in this book is Wes and I wanted the shake him so much for his ill will. I am curious how will play a role in the next book and redeem himself. The three brothers were a great addition to Sierra’s men and I really like how different each was…even though Colt is not a fan of hers right now. Cyrus may be the top right now but I also think he is super important to finding out the secrets that surround Sierra.

The book has a lot of chemistry but is not spicy yet. I liked how this first part centered around introducing the men and their relationships with Sierra. I also want to know more about Rico and see him more in book 2. Sierra’s relationship with her younger sister is also something that Bree wrote phenomenally. The inner resilience both those girls show is astounding and I hope they get their HEA.

Overall, this is a great first part and the ending leaves on a huge cliffhanger. I am excited to read the finale.

Rating: 8/10, dark but fast read!
