Blog Tour: Heart Breaker by Cole Saint Jaimes + Review

Title: Heart Breaker (The Heart Breaker Series #1)

Author: Cole Saint Jaimes

Synopsis: Aidan Surf. Fuck. Get high. Sounds like the perfect day to Aidan Callahan. As second-born son to Chicago’s most influential business owner, Aidan’s life has always been about responsibility. Tradition. Toeing the goddamn line. Just do as you’re told, Aidan. Don’t make waves. Well, screw that. Riding waves is way more fun than making them. Hawaii is paradise on earth. Smoking hot women. Tiny bikinis. As far as Aidan’s concerned, wild horses couldn’t drag him kicking and screaming back to the windy city. Or at least that’s what he thought. When his brother crashes his Mercedes, killing himself on impact, Aidan finds himself next in line to the Callahan fortune and all the ties that come with it. And this time there’s no getting out of it.

Essie A warm bed. A steady job. A brother who loves her. For Essie Gray, life’s been one hard kick in the teeth after another. With her parents both dead, her brother is her only living relative. That is until Vaughn’s truck is written off, his life snatched away by the careless actions of a rich playboy in a flashy sports car. Now, the only thing that will bring Essie peace is revenge. She must take what was taken from her. Only when the name Callahan has been wiped from the face of the earth forever will she be able to start living again. Of course, the new head of the Callahan Corporation isn’t what she expected. Aidan’s sexy and sad, and just as damaged as she is. Will she be able to distance herself enough to accomplish her goal? After all, ruining a man’s really hard when you find yourself falling for him…

MY REVIEW:

I stumbled upon this book when the author sent me a request to be friends on facebook. I was instantly intrigued and I decided to check his work. Heart Breaker is his debut novel and I am seriously impressed! I don´t think I´ve ever read a book from a male author and I was a bit wary because I didn´t know what to expect. Though it seems I shouldn´t have had to worry about it because I enjoyed the book so much!

The story line is intriguing and fascinating from the very beginning. Both main characters have really fieerent family backgrounds though their lifes end up enterwined because of it. I have to say that I liked Vaughn from the start and it saddened me so much to read his fate. It gave me the push I personally needed to made same changes in my family life too. It made me realize the way a moment can change your whole life, and there is not a going backwards button to redo your mistakes.

The characters are amazingly well built and developed, I absolutely digged Aiden with his hot looks and charming ways, and I also loved Essie with her strong-willed character and fiercely brave approach on life.

I am usually more used to longer books, because when everything was starting to fall into place it ended! Really well played by the author but not good for me because now I am dying to read the next book!

Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway: Heart Breaker (Break on Through #2) by Harper Kincaid

Title: Heart Breaker

Series: Break on Through #2

Author: Harper Kincaid

Release Date: July 28th, 2015
Publisher: Samhain Publishing

Synopsis

Love wasn’t in the script…

Break on Through, Book 2

Former man-eater Samantha Lockhart has been an actress long enough to be able to spot a smooth-talking player a mile away. Dark-haired, bourbon-eyed, a wicked smile…Kyle Masterson is one of the best.

From his bad-boy motorcycle boots to his good-ole-boy Southern drawl, everything about Kyle screams sex appeal. But after a tragedy hits close to home, Sam tries to convince herself she’s done with players on and off the stage.

Kyle, a V-twin-riding divorce attorney, has witnessed enough horror stories of love gone wrong to know that while women are welcome in his bed, they’re definitely not in his future. But once the petite, mercurial redhead catches his eye, he can’t think of anything—or anyone—else.

Sam’s trust doesn’t come easy, but the more time they spend together, the deeper they both fall. Yet just as they’re breaking through each other’s barriers, someone who doesn’t like being upstaged makes a deadly play of his own. And if Sam refuses, she may not be able to breathe a word to anyone…ever.

Warning: Contains a small-town thespian who isn’t easily fooled and a lawyer with a weakness for V-twin engines and sassy redheads.

About the Author:

A woman with the heart of a revolutionary,

The mind of a pragmatist,

And the inappropriate humor of your tipsy BFF...

Born in California and raised in South Florida, I've moved around like a gypsy with a bounty on my head ever since. Along the way, I've worked as a community organizer, a professional matchmaker, an art teacher, a popular blogger, and a crisis counselor (to name a few). All the while, longing to have the guts and follow-through to do what I really wanted: to write and become a published author. That wish has finally come true and I am tickled pink with glitter over this good piece of fortune.

What else? Hmm...I love indie, lo-fi, complaint rock played on vinyl, wearing black because it's slimming, the theater, well-informed optimism, happy endings (both kinds),and making those close to me laugh 'til they snort. I'm a self-admitted change junkie, loving new experiences and places, but have now happily settled in the cutest lil' town, Vienna, Virginia. I totally love hearing from readers so stalk me via social media or email me at HarperKincaid26@gmail.com!

My Review:

When I read the first book in the Break on Trough series, I quite liked it and I was definitely interested to find out who are going to be the main characters in the next book. Well, I have to say that I definitely didn't expect Kyle and Sam. But I can definitely say that I was pleasantly surprised. The story is interesting and quite good. Personally, I liked the second part of the book much more than the first one and in my opinion it quite saved the book for me. That's not to say that the first part was bad. It was sweet and romantic but it was just missing something. Probably because I am a sucker for a dangerous and suspenseful story and I found exactly that in the second part.

Kyle Masterson is the ultimate player. And that's not a surprise considering his dark hair, mesmerizing green eyes and stylish looks. He definitely knows how to seduce a woman and the fact that he is a god in the bedroom is definitely in his advantage. He changes women as often as he can but that all changes the moment he meets Sam. Something in her calms him down and she is the only one who can stop his constantly working mind to slow down. With her he finally finds peace and for a first time in his life he sees a happy future. In the beginning he looked like quite the stylish rich guy and I definitely didn't expect him to have a little bit darker and dominant side. I was definitely pleasantly surprised and just loved when he showed his protective side. It was quite hot knowing that he is ready to do anything to protect the woman he loves :)

Sam was quite an interesting character in her own right. Her life is shook from the roots after a tragic accident throws her in a dark place. It takes months for her to finally get out of the dark place she lived for months. Meeting Kyle helps her to find her inner strength and start living again. In him she finds her perfect other half and the only man she could see herself spending the rest of her life with.

In a few words, this is a quite good short read. It has an interesting and entertaining romantic story with a taste of suspense and danger. And in addition to that you get a sexy bad boy layer with a dominant and protective nature. All in all quite a good bargain and a great read for the summer months ;)
