This is a good story.
It's about trust issues, moving on after exes. ( )

Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..Ahhh this book was great and let me tell you why. We have Mark a hottie hockey player and unfortunately is a little insecure because he a cheating ex. Then we meet Stevie who as even more insecurities due to the fact that she is a little older and is new divorced and she had been with her husband since high school. Mark was awesome he showed her how he saw her and that was beautiful. I wont tell anything else so that you give a go..Enjoy! ( )

A.M. Johnson scores with BREAKAWAY. Tampa Bay hockey center, Mark Carmelo, is getting over a bad relationship. He has no intention of dating. He is concentrating on his career instead. That is until, the girl of his dreams, Stevie West, walks back into his life. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult audiences.

A.M. Johnson does a great job with both the character development and plot. Mark and Stevie are well-developed and likable. I appreciated that one of the things that attracted Mark to Stevie was she had no idea who he was. It would be difficult being a celebrity and not knowing if people liked you for the real you. Both characters had bad relationships prior to dating each other. They have numerous issues to overcome, especially with their prior relationships. They are both good people that complement each other.

I like how the story flashed back in time. I like the fate aspect to the story. I thought it was clever that Mark and Stevie’s prior meeting influenced her life decisions, her life becoming better as a result. BREAKAWAY was skillfully written and believable. This is the first book that I have read by A.M. Johnson. I enjoyed her writing style and plan on reading more of her work. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. ( )
