Review ‘Break In Two’ by MJ Summers

Thirty-one
year old Claire Hatley is running from Seattle having just discovered that her
live-in boyfriend has traded her in for a twenty-two year old hostess.
Devastated and alone Claire must make a fresh start. She answers an ad for a
chef at a guest ranch just outside Colorado Springs and finds herself face to
face with Cole Mitchell, quite possibly the sexiest man to ever ride a horse.
Common sense tells them to stay away from each other, but their attraction is
not to be denied. He gives her a glimpse of what love should be, but just as
she starts to trust him, the past comes back to tear them apart.

Join Claire and Cole as they embark on the stormy love affair of a lifetime.

I read my
first MJ Summers book a view years back. It was the second book in the Full
Hearts series and I really enjoyed it. So when I saw the first book in the Full
Hearts series ‘Break In Two’ standing on my bookshelves, I knew it was time to
start reading this book. 

‘Break In
Two’ is the story of Claire Hatley and sexy cowboy Cole Mitchell. Claire has
took on a new job of chef at Cole’s ranch after her relationship comes to an
abrupt end. After driving for many hours, she finally arrives at the ranch near
Colorado Springs. This job is just the perfect escape for Claire. When Claire
meets Cole one thing is sure: Cole is very handsome. And soon Claire and Cole
are inseparable. 

I must
admit I had some high expectations about this book. I just finished a great
five star read, and I really enjoyed the second book in this series ‘Breaking
Love’. The first thing that really stood out to me about this read, is that the
writing was very descriptive. And because of that it didn’t really read as easy
as I would have liked. The other thing was the main character Claire. She was
just not my kind of character. She ran away from her ex after he cheated on her
probably several times, and she had no trouble whatsoever about getting it on
with Cole. I just didn’t get that.

I also
missed the chemistry between Claire and Cole in this book. Everything went so
fast that I just didn’t have the time to really start loving these characters.
They just went from strangers, to lovers in no time whatsoever, and I didn’t
really like that. Especially since they were boss and employer. It just didn’t
really sound believable to me. 

What I did
love about this book was the setting on the Colorado Ranch. I just pictured it
in my head as a beautiful, country, cowboy filled ranch and I loved that idea.
I love cowboy stories, and the fact that Cole was a cowboy definitely made this
read better for me. I just wished things moved a little slower in this book, so
I could really get to know the characters.

Unfortunately
this book just wasn’t for me.
