Review: Breaking Blaze (Falling Down #1) by Eve Black

Breaking Blaze (Falling Down #1) by Eve Black is LIVE

BLURB
The moment he saw Anna Cass, seventeen, beautiful, brave, Blaze Harris knew he was screwed. She was too bright, too innocent, too good for a broken boy from a broken home with nothing to offer her. But he couldn’t stay away. She was the light in his dark, the song in his silent void, the promise of something he could never dare hope for. And for eight years, he did all he could to keep the promise he made to himself: love her, but leave her untouched.

For years, he told himself she didn’t belong to him, that he didn’t deserve her, living the degenerate life of a manwhore, regret eating away at him even as he held the one woman he loved at a safe distance.

But promises like the one he made are meant to be broken. And finally making Anna Cass his would break him…but breaking Blaze only made him burn that much hotter.

Breaking Blaze is a best friends-to-lovers, bad boy, BBW, sexy contemporary romance, and the first book in the sexy, emotional Falling Down series. No cheating. No cliffhangers. A satisfying HEA.

MY REVIEW

Blaze and Anna have been best friends for years, and most of that time she's crushed on him, but has had to watch him with endless other women, night after night. Will the time ever come for these two friends to become more, and stay more? Or will she be just another one night with no repeat as is Blaze's thing?


Anna doesn't know it, but Blaze has had feelings for her as long as she's had for him. She also doesn't know the reason he's never acted on those feelings, the reason why he goes through women like an addict. It's that very reason, though, that will continue to keep them apart if he does not get some intense therapy for his problems. So he'll just have to figure shit out, claim his woman, or she'll be the love and the friend that got away.


Whew, this story was a big roller coaster of a emotions. Blaze was a big mess, and honestly, I am still not sold on whether he's good enough for poor Anna, who deserves a whole man, one who always put her first. Now, don't get me wrong, his story is tragic and I felt for him because of it, but he also unnecessarily hurt her one too many times and never told her what was up until the very end. I didn't like that much, but I appreciated how hard it was for him to tell her, and that he finally came clean. Their story is intensely emotional, tragic, and steamy, though, so 4 stars is fair.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
