Review of Break Free (Kinley Island Book 2) by Raleigh Ruebins
Caleb, the line cook that looks more like a tattoo model, is kind of alone. He cooks at Luna's, then goes home. But one day he flirts with the hot bearded dad looking customer, and somehow, a friendship is struck up between him and Beck. He honestly knows better than to want more from an obviously straight guy, but sometimes the body doesn't always react the way the mind tells it to, nor does the heart...
Beck is a solitary truck driver who's always only been attracted to women, specifically to his ex-wife. But when the tattooed hottie at the local diner flirted with him, he LIKED it. His body LIKED it, too. And when he and Caleb fall into a friendship that somehow turns into a friendship with benefits, he rolls with it. After all, he's used to rolling with it. That's what he's always done, what he always did with his ex-wife Amy, even when she verbally harangued him, derided him and generally abused him. But, he has a teenage daughter with Amy, who comes first, so getting back together with Amy should be his priority, right? Not falling in love with a man, even a sweetheart of a man like Caleb who makes him feel worthy in a way no one ever has before.
Gah, this story made me so mad sometimes! I wanted to scream at Beck as he let his ex guide his actions, let her get into his head so badly that he hurt poor beautiful Caleb. But their story is pretty great. I love that it's both their second chance at love, at life.
"But Beck and I had been each other's second chances."
I haven't read any of the other stories in this series, or by this author, but I will be sure to in the future, because I loved Break Free. It's sweet, tugs on the heart a little, and Caleb and Beck are adorable.
