Break Me by Meagan Brandy
4.0
Not nearly as angsty, nail biting, heated and chaotic as the first three Brayshaw books but it was a good, solid book.
I couldn't get a good grasp on the heroine Brielle until closer to the end of the read. She came off as extremely naïve and passive, but tried to be strong and snarky at the same time. It wasn't until Royce really started to push her that she grew a backbone of steel and stood her ground when necessary. Royce was the usual overtly sexual, standoffish, smirking playboy he always is.
One thing that broke my heart was that there weren't nearly enough scenes with all three Brayshaw boys together! I missed so much of their comradery and playfulness. The book just felt like it was missing a big piece of the story with barely any brotherly scenes.
Highlight of Break Me: The entire birth storyline around Raven, Maddoc and Baby Brayshaw. It was one of the most heartwarming parts of the entire book. I loved the fact that everyone surrounded the new family with love and unwavering support. Zoey's reaction to the arrival of her cousin was so sweet and endearing! Maddoc fainting was also quite the icing on the cake for me! :P
I rated Break Me 4 stars because while the beginning 50% was extremely slow and somewhat anti-climatic, I really enjoyed the second half especially when stuff started going down and drama was brought to their front door. The final few chapters were extremely emotion and gripping. I had no idea how the author was going to pull together the story as a whole but I loved how she maneuvered the drama, the violence, the heartbreak and the fall out. I didn't LOVE the final scenes but I understood and accepted its necessity.
