R K LilleyBreaking Him

Loved it!! Never read any books by R.K. Lilley, just ordered the second book.

Amazing book. Amazing characters. Amazing history, Love love love love. You have to read it to understand how amazing it is.

Loved this book such a good read

“Love is never satisfied with half-measures. It won’t take parts of you. It will own all of you, every single, longing piece. Love will make you its slave. It will ruin you. Grind you under its heel until you don’t recognize what’s left. Love will take your soul.”This book WRECKED ME. R.K. Lilley is pure magic! Not that I am surprised, the Tristan and Danika series is one of my all time favorites, but after The Wild Side books I had drawn away from Lilley for a bit. But after my girlie Jasmine from Reading Escapade told me she loved this and that it was super angsty, I had to read it! And I read it in 5 hours. Stayed up until 2:30 AM and everything. This is R. K. Lilley at her best!Scarlett and Dante were childhood loves. Now they hate each others guts. With the benefit of occasional hate sex. But Dante comes in search of Scarlett with news of a family friend and Scarlett finds herself traveling back to her hometown and to Dante. That's all I can really say without spoiling anything for you, it's best if you go into this book knowing less.Scarlett and Dante ruined each other, and it only got worse over the years. Both cannot find it within them to forgive the other, but neither one of them have gotten over each other either. The plot is a big mystery to the reader with little tidbits being revealed in the present, and through flashbacks interspersed throughout the book.This book was so beyond angsty and I ate it all up! Lilley is the master of angst, so many points in the book where I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and I loved every minute of it!My favorite part?:"Tell me you don't miss this.""I don't miss this.""Liar.""No. No. No. I'm not the liar. You know why I don't miss this? Because it's a lie..... It was always a lie."All I gotta say is RK Lilley better have that second book written or I am going to lose my mind!

Breaking Him is a tale of childhood friendship that turns into teenaged lust then love that grows into something indescribable and permanent then some mysterious circumstance ruined everything and turned that love into bitter hatred. But that permanence is still there keeping the two entwined forever.Scarlett had a very sad beginning to her life. It continued through school, she was constantly bullied even by adults. The only good thing in her life was her friend Dante and his grandma. Even though he was wealthy he was sensitive. He didn't like the injustice. He always stood up for Scarlett even though she could hold her own. She was a scrapper, never afraid to defend herself.Now as an adult she's a flight attendant and a not-so-successful actress. I liked how Lilley brought us back to the sky. But Scarlett is a prickly b**ch. She doesn't have many friends, she doesn't trust easily since the only friend she had betrayed her. She's all attitude. And Dante loves to antagonize her. But this time he's come to bring bad news.This story alternates between the past and present leading us to the point where it all went wrong. Too Bad! You're not finding out in this book. By the end you'll have your theories but nothing is confirmed. A monster of a cliffhanger.This story was a bit hard to get into. Scarlett's bitterness was almost a turnoff but she finally started to soften a little and by then I couldn't put it down.Dante and Scarlett remind me a little of Caleb and Olivia from Tarryn Fisher's The Opportunist. Complete with all the angst. So if that's your thing you'll love this. I most certainly did. I'm looking forward to Breaking Her. Please hurry!
