Breakaway Hearts by Nikki Lawson
2.0

This is the second book in this series and I was really looking forward to it but honestly it was a letdown. I'm a huge sucker for friends to lovers but this didn't really read that way. The fake dating trope kind of overwhelmed it and there was almost no struggle of "I like him/her as more than a friend but I don't want to lose what we have". It was more "eh, we'll go back to friends after we sleep together 1537 times" and I was missing the TENSION and ANGST.

And oh boy did they sleep together. The smut OVERTOOK this book. I am a huge smut slut but this was too much for even me. It was like there wasn't even a real story and it was just smut, very fifty shades. Again, similar to the first in this series, 100 pages could have been cut from this book, easily, as it was too long for a romance with hardly any content, where the characters end up together at like 20%. I need a little more conflict in my books, please and thank you.

Overall I think this series is not for me and I'm going to be done with it. It wasn't bad...but it wasn't good.
