BLOG TOUR: BREAKER BY HARLOE RAE

I am thrilled to be on tour with Harloe Rae and Candi Kane PR for the new release, Breaker! This is one of my TOP favorite books of 2019 and I highly recommend it. PS: This is a new adult, brother's best friend romance. 
“Tell me a happy something, Sutton.”
 
I was only seven the first time Grady Bowen whispered those words to me. Cloaked by the black sky under a blanket of stars, it was easy to get lost. He didn’t have any good memories of his own, and needed to borrow mine. I’d willingly give him anything.
 
Being infatuated with that boy was a beautiful curse. What could have been special didn’t get the chance to bloom. He’d never see me as more than his best friend’s kid sister. That was a hard lesson to learn, but not the most difficult.
 
Grady had always been struggling against the odds. Eventually he quit fighting and let his family’s reputation own him. Try as I might, those influences were beyond my reach.
 
He didn’t mean to break my heart. Or maybe he did. I shouldn’t have made it so easy for him. Either way, our wrongs against each other carved new lines between us.
 
I went four years without seeing Grady—each one more painful than the last. That distance did nothing to dull my feelings toward him. But things are different now. Most noticeably is Grady. I barely recognize this man he’s become. And that’s the way he intends to keep it. Not that it really matters.
 
Grady Bowen stopped being my happy something long ago.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

Release Date: October 24, 2019
Actual Rating: 4.75 stars

Small Town | Brother's Best Friend Romance

I have only read one of Harloe Rae's novels in the past but can now safely say I am hooked. She writes exquisite characters and captures the small town feels in the best of ways. In Breaker, readers will be introduced to Sutton and Grady. Sutton has loved Grady from afar nearly all her life but Grady thinks she deserves better and ignores her pleas. Grady hasn't had an easy life and in small towns, the rumors and dirty looks from the townsfolk can do a lot of damage to ones character. So he stays away. Fast forward 4 years later and Sutton is back from college. Only this time, she won't let Grady turn a blind eye to her. She knows who she wants and will stop at nothing to get him.

Lately I have been hooked on small town romances and have been searching high and low for the next 5 star read in the category. This one easily fits the role and I loved every single second of it. While there was a bit of drama towards the end (my nerves were utterly frayed) most of the book is pretty lighthearted and smooth. I loved this. I don't always need to read a book full of angst and heartbreak, so finding a book that can literally sooth the soul is something I desperately wanted and this one fit the bill. I loved it!

Whether you're a long time fan of the authors work or new to her books I need to recommend this one to you. It's a complete standalone and the perfect book to test out her writing style if she's new to you. Not only that, the feels are amazing and bound to touch any reader.

BOOK TEASER

READ AN EXCERPT

​I take a closer inspection of this swoony charmer. Not an ounce of deceit registers in his expression. There’s no stony edge blocking his emerald stare. His ironclad guard is nonexistent. Zero inhibitions block the sliver of space between us. Everything is on display for me to see. I should be the one to stop this. He’s obviously not in his normal state and under the influence of hefty narcotics. 
 
Who the hell am I kidding? Basking in a rare smile from Grady is a gift I won’t take for granted. Appreciating from a safe distance will be the true challenge. I test my willpower by trying to evade the sneaky fingers inching up my thigh. But our skin is magnetized and moving is impossible. The golden specks in his eyes glitter at my failed attempt. Yep, he’s onto me. I’m a goner.
 
As if there was another option.  
 
The itch to comb through his shaggy hair tickles my fingertips. Would he lean into my embrace if I cupped his jaw? The tiniest bit of resolve stops me from acting on those impulses. But it doesn’t stop my brain from working overtime. 
 
I wonder if anyone else has seen this side of him. The romantic in me wants to believe I’m the first, and hopefully only. I shove the fanciful notion aside. “Well, you sure seem to be in a great mood.”
 
That luscious bottom lip gets trapped between his teeth. I’d love to take a bite. As if hearing my thoughts, Grady rolls toward me. “Abso-fucking-lutely. Why wouldn’t I be? I have a gorgeous woman within reach, ready to take care of my aches and pains.”
 
This time I really do choke on my tongue. “W-what?”
 
The hand he has on my leg drifts higher. “You sound shocked, Sutt.”
 
How could I not be? “That’s an understatement.” 
 
“Stay with me,” Grady croons.
 “For the night?”
 “For always.” His gaze is smoldering. Damn, he’s sexy. And irresistible. I’m liable to straddle his lap and offer him everything. But the chains of our past hold me hostage. I can’t fall victim so easily.
 
“Why now, Gray?” Whatever painkillers he’s on are proving to be an effective truth serum. I might as well use it to my advantage.
 
His blink is slow. “I miss the peace, Sutt. My slice of goodness.”
