Jessica has always been the girl with her head in the clouds and her nose in a book, only dating the "nice guys". But when rough-around-the-edges Viking-biker-god, Mad Max, and his precocious little girl move onto her street, Jessica falls hard and fast for both of them. Max is no stranger to women wanting to share his bed—and he's always been more than happy to oblige them all. He's lived wild all his life—that is, until a daughter shows up on his doorstep and he meets a redheaded angel down the block.
There's nothing more he wants than to claim Jessica as his, to bring the gorgeous spitfire to his bed. But a man like him doesn't get a happy ending with a woman like her. He's got a whole other life, one he's kept secret for good reason. If Jessica found out what he really is, there's no way she could love him. He should keep his hands to himself. But he's Mad Max—he's never done the right thing, and he's not going to start now.
Warning: Contains a dominating alpha male who's a lot more than he seems, and a good girl with a swirl of flavors under her vanilla.
Girl Breaker was my first
book of Harper Kincaid’s. I enjoyed it
enough to try and go back to the beginning of this series but was comfortable
reading this as a standalone. It had a chemistry,
a bit of angst, and a hot alpha male who happened to be a single dad-all
elements I can appreciate in a book.
This book gives us the story
of Jessica, a romatic schoolteacher with a naughty streak, and Max, a mechanic
(amongst other things) and single dad determined not to get involved with
Jessica. The chemistry between them
oozes from the get go and when they finally get together they just
combust. I enjoyed watching them explore
Jessica’s wilder side and I loved seeing Jessica tame-just a tad-Max.
I really fell for Max’s
daughter, Piper. Sometimes authors throw
a kid in the mix and then just forget they’re their but that was not the case
here. The relationships that both Max and
Jessica have with Piper felt natural and realistic. Piper’s feelings and thoughts are taken into
consideration and I appreciated that.
What I didn’t appreciate, and
what keeps me from rating this book higher, was the event that completely came
out of nowhere near the end of the book.
Plot twists/surprises can keep things fresh and interesting but this was
so out of left field that I just didn’t see the need for it. It felt unnecessary at that point; maybe if
it had happened earlier in the book and I had more of a resolution I’d think
differently, but I just didn’t appreciate it.
Overall I liked the
book. I liked the relationship between
our main characters, I appreciated the secondary characters and sub plot. This can be read as a standalone even though
it is technically the third in the series.
