Breakers is book 3 of this amazing series and do an audiobook listen leading up to book 5’s release has made me fall for these characters all over again and I am going to be so emotional when we close the door on their story and lives (hopefully just for now!). We finally get the resolutions we had been waiting for, the walls come down even more, the steam is turned up a notch and more characters from the shared world make an appearance (love the Easter eggs and spinoff series coming from this one!). I loved every second of this book. Lyrical and Breakers are seriously tied for my favorites out of the 4 (and a lot of her other series’ – I mean Grim and Beast still are at the top though haha. So many laughs).
Ok back to the review. Now I can’t get into too much what I loved because I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, but we finally get all the guys officially on board with being back together with Pen. Xeno lets some things come out that he had wanted to keep to himself and he finally makes that step to allowing himself to love Tiny and her to love him back, despite how he thinks he doesnt deserve it. Pen has to cope with the aftermath at Tales, and the hits just don’t stop coming with many sides for the Breakers. The ending of this book was WILD and so many twists. So epic.
The steam and romance was so much fun in this one. The Magic Mike moment *fans myself*, the way someone has been taking care of Lena made me swoon so hard, and helped get the family on track, the adorableness of Grim and her news and loving seeing her and Pen’s budding friendship that become sisterhood. I loved seeing Hudson again, and the nickname they gave him hahaha. This author does a good job bringing levity into some hard topics and books and I loved that we got that with how York always acts, but them being silly together, the joking with Beast, etc. I couldnt pick a favorite of the Breakers, they all upped the ante and made me love them all, hook line and sinker!
Narration was good again. Nothing more to say, same small criticisms but the emotion in this one was more intense than the others. With the different baddies and the aftermath of their chaos and destruction, the confrontation with new characters, the deaths, etc. So an emotional rollercoaster, but the narrators did a fab job bringing the characters to life in my head while I listened, I felt like I was in the studio, their home, Pen’s old family home, the bar, etc. The narration just helped prove this could be an incredible TV show and how the readers would eat every word up haha.
If you havent read this series yet, you are doing yourself a disservice. I didnt want to stop listening but real world life just got in the way!
