Breaking Love by B.B. Reid

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

She’s the girl who got away, but now she’s back…

Four years was all it took.

I told myself I didn’t need friends. I didn’t need family. I sure as fuck didn’t need him.

And you know what?

I was right.

He had been inside of me, coursing through my veins.

So I cut and bled Dash Chambers until I was free.

But the day I returned to Six Forks and was thrown at his feet, I realized I would never forget how it felt to have every inch of him inside me.

…and he’s waiting.

Angel thought if she ran far enough, she’d be free.

What’s mine will always be mine.

This time I do things my way.

The heroine: Willow – she was Lake’s best friend all through high school. When Kieran tormented Lake all those years, Willow stood by Lake’s side, and they planned on going to college together. They did through their freshman year but then Lake switched schools to be closer to Kieran. Willow stayed behind, but when her friends looked for her after not hearing from her for a while, they found she had disappeared.

The Hero: Dash – he was Kieran’s best friend and would do almost anything for him. When Kieran wanted him to get close to Lake’s best friend, he didn’t hesitate to start sleeping with Willow. They were bed buddies and nothing more, but when she left town for college, then disappeared a year later, he wasn’t happy that she wasn’t happy that she was out of his reach. Since then, he has taken over for his father as CEO of his father’s business when his father “retired” early. He is now a successful businessman who is at the top of the world.

The Story: Dash is finalizing an important business deal that will get his father off his back for good and would affect the rest of his life. Part of the deal included marrying Roslyn, the daughter of the owner of the company they were dealing with. Dash hates Roslyn and always has. She was the one who ruined things between him and Willow, who he really wanted despite the beginnings of their relationship.

I have to say, I am getting kind of sick of books with the main storyline being rich people who force their sons and daughters into arranged marriages for business purposes. I just don’t see that happening as often in real life as it seems to in romance novels. Especially in America. This one gets even more unbelievable when Dash’s father tells him if he gives up his best friend, then he can marry whomever he wants.

I don’t know really know if I liked Willow’s reappearance in the lives of Dash and all his friends very much. It seems she had no choice, and her strings were being pulled by someone who was threatening her mother and brother Buddy. I didn’t like the fact that it took so long for Willow’s secret to come out about why she ran away and what happened in her life for the past four years. Plus, why she continued to visit her mother every other month despite the fact that she hated her mother.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Ava Erickson. These two have narrated the first three books of this series as well and have done a fantastic job. They are two of my favorite narrators and I could listen to book after book with them as narrators.
