BLURB
I never should’ve loaned him my lucky pencil.
Like every female in high school I was captivated when he spoke to me. I had no idea that moment would cause irrevocable damage.
Over two years later I’m face to face with Carey Slade again. This time I won’t get caught up in his good looks and oozing charm. I work three jobs and get straight A’s. I can’t afford to get distracted. Not again.
Rowan and I have history. History I plan to take to the grave.
My football career depends on me passing a class and Rowan is assigned as my tutor. I never thought I’d see her again after high school. She’s different from the girl I remember—confident, smokin’ hot, funny as hell.
I’m the man responsible for ruining her life.
If I have my way, she’ll never find out.
MY OPINION
I really want to read this book earlier, but I didn't have time to do this.
Finally „Breaking Defenses” arrived to my Kindle and I read this story.
„Ghostgirl” was my first book written by J.B. Salsbury and I think, that she didn't jump over this book. „Ghostgirl” is still my favorite story from her.
„Breaking Defenses” is a really short book. It has only 153 pages, so we must be ready, that the plot will be very fast here. And I was ready, but not so much. Carey Slade destroyed Rowan's future. When the big baseball player has everything, this simple girl must hardworking to be the best.
He doesn't know that his cheating years earlier will have a really big consequences to her. Two years later Carey Slade needs a tutor, becasue his degrees are very low. And then he meets Rowan. Yes, this Rowan, which he destroyed life.
So... the idea of story was really good, but I think that the length of this book is a failure. It is too short. We can't even like heroes in this story, because we can't know them. Also, Rowan is too weak. They need ONLY a few days to be in love each other.
Really? These fairytales exist?
Because I don't think so.
In the end „Breaking Defenses” is a avreage book. I thought that I will read the next two books in series, but now I must think about that again. Because there are so many really good stories and I won't waste my time on medium books. „Breaking Defenses” is a good book, when you want something short with sport theme.
