5 Smooches
Synopsis
One look at the beautiful Hawaiian flower dancing on stage at his buddy’s strip club and Pyro’s world changes. He’s lost, captivated, head over heels. He tries to stay away, resist her charms, but he just can’t find the strength to do it. Instead, he hires Hazel and Winter as entertainment for the Breakneck President’s thirtieth birthday party, unknowingly putting the girls’ lives in danger.
Hazel convinces Winter to take the Breakneck gig so that she can get closer to Pyro. Playing the temptress to the max, Hazel appears on stage wearing white angel wings, and little else, drawing Pyro in to where she wants him. Needless to say, they both get very little sleep that night.
One night together making love until the sun comes up and these two are in too deep. But this is the Breakneck world, and sunrise brings gunfire and bloodshed. Time brings Winter’s abduction and brutal rape. Hazel’s guilt burrows deep, and she pushes everyone away. She is resenting herself for convincing Winter to enter this Breakneck world. She is resenting Pyro for ensnaring her heart.
This is the story of Pyro and Lana. It is simply the story of how, sometimes, love just isn’t enough.
Review
OMG I almost forgot how much I love being in the Breakneck World! Resenting Me was the perfect way to dive back in. Quick and gritty, Crystal Spears gave us a great reflection of the events from the first book, Seize Me, but this time from the point of views of Lana and Pyro. I knew going in, having read Seize Me, that this was going to be a tough book to read. When I sat down to start I made sure to have plenty of Kleenex and sad music ready. My only regret is being pregnant because I could have really used a large glass of wine!
As difficult of a story as I knew it would be to read I honestly believe that it is a necessity for any Breakneck fan. I have a feeling the insights we get into Pyro’s world will be invaluable as we work our way to his book and story. While much of this story is similar to the events of Seize Me, the emotions, insights and how this affects the characters is completely different.
I want to give this one warning, although if you are a Breakneck Fan I doubt you need it, this is not a happy go lucky story. This is a gritty, raw and at times gruesome story. But in that there is so much love, friendship and loyalty. I loved learning about Lana and Pyro’s backstory and even more so I loved seeing their intimate moments that for me was something that brought the tears flowing! I loved being back in the Breakneck world and cannot wait for more books!
