Hard To Break by Bella Jewel Review
5 Smooches
Synopsis
Quinn has spent her whole life working in her dad’s garage, leaving her more comfortable with a carburetor than a curling iron. Her world is turned upside down when her beloved garage is bought by none other than world famous, sexy as sin, custom car builder, Tazen Watts. He’s the one man she can’t stand…even though he makes her hotter than a high performance engine in top gear.
Tazen has no use for Quinn, at least not professionally, and he’s making sure she knows it. But there’s a spark between them that she’s finding hard to ignore. She’s determined to prove her talent is as impressive as her sassy mouth. When she finds out Tazen is hiding a secret that could bring down his career and everyone involved in it, she wonders: is falling for him is going to be work the risk?
**Hard To Break is a full-length standalone romance with a HEA**
Review
‘Tazen Watts will get nothing from me. Nothing.”
This book. OH MY. This book! I just loved it so heartily that I cannot seem to stop talking about it. I read the first book in this series (all standalones) and was taken by the hilarious antics, sexy alphas and an exciting mystery plot. So going into Hard To Break I assumed I would getting just more of the same tried and tested formula that I still loved. What I got was all of that and a whole lot more. Emotional, dramatic and still mixed with the wit and passion I have come to expect from Bella Jewel Hard To Break was one of the best book I have read recently.
“You’re such a jerk.” I squirmed trying to get out of his grip. He leans down close, until our lips are nearly touching. “And you fucking love it.”
Quinn is struggling to keep her head above water. She is trying to save her families auto repair shop and help her alcoholic dad and failing at both. In walks Tazen Watts who wants to take her shop and make it completely different. Now the shop she has always loved isn’t hers and the man running it is a jerk but Quinn is strong and never gives up. She gives as good as she gets. Even when Tazen and Quinn are fighting and hating each other they have a spark and an attraction. Lines are blurred and boundaries are crossed. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS.
‘We just kissed and I’m supposed to hate him. This is bad, so bad.’
Quinn and Tazen are explosive. From the fighting, to the pranks to the intense and steamy moments I could not put this book down. I loved the first standalone in this series but this one blew that book out of the water. The story was a bit more serious but I found it also to be stronger. There were still plenty of light and funny moments that had me laughing out loud and yet there were also moments that had my eyes watering up and my heart clenching in anxiety. It was superb.
“How do you feel about hair pulling?” My body spasms. God, is it wrong that I think I would seriously love that? I couldn’t imagine anything better than Tazen taking hold of my hair as he drives his cock in and out of my flesh. “I think I would love that.”
With every book of hers I read, Bella Jewel is becoming an author I know I can count on for a fabulous story, amazing characters and some serious toe curling sex and Hard To Break delivered all of that and more. Each book in this series are complete standalones that are unrelated. The women in these books are taking on roles typically held by men. Both books that are out so far are top reads for me but Hard To Break is one I insist you don’t miss!
“Trust me, angel.”
