When I Break by Kendall Ryan Blog Tour Review & Giveaway

Knox Bauer’s life has unraveled to the point of no return. Fighting to fill the emptiness inside himself, he seeks solace in unfamiliar beds with unfamiliar women. As guardian to his three younger brothers, he can’t seem to do a thing right. But this can’t go on…they look up to him in every way and all he’s done lately is prove how messed up he really is. Needing a change, he attends a local Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting, where he finds himself tempted by the alluring instructor, McKenna.

Twenty-one year old McKenna is trying to make amends. After losing her parents in a horrific accident, she knows if she can just be good enough, maybe she can forgive herself for what happened. With her newly acquired degree in counseling, she begins leading a sex addicts group where she meets the troubled Knox and her life takes on complications she never bargained for. She doesn’t have time for a bad boy who only wants to take her to bed, even if her body disagrees. The fixer in her wants to help, but trusting Knox’s true motivations might take more courage than she has.

When I Break is book 1 in a new series by bestselling author Kendall Ryan. When I Surrender, book 2, will be available May 2014.

Stephanie’s 4 Star Review:  I received an ARC of this book from the author for an honest review.

This was an interesting story as  I didn’t feel there was a lot of angst in the characters but Knox definitely had some major issues.  McKenna is sweet, naive, smart, and I felt she had the need to please.  Knox, the ever constant bad boy, is the typical “no commitment” man taking care of his 3 brothers and using women to get his release from his constant anger doesn’t want just one woman until he meets McKenna.  The question is can he curb his addiction to sex long enough to try to have something real with McKenna.

Now for McKenna….super sweet and ready for something more in her life.  She actually thinks she can help Knox with his issues and addiction.  Hanging out with him and his brothers makes her fall for the bad boy.  She tries to do everything right when he’s constantly doing wrong.  Even when it comes to forgiving and believing in Knox, McKenna is always in his corner.

I think the author, Kendall Ryan, did a good job with this story.  These two are definitely a case of opposites attracting.  Their story is indicative of real life relationships.  Not everyone is perfect, and quite a few of us have addictions of some sort.  Mine is to reading. Could be worse!  Check out Knox & McKenna’s story and see what you think!
