Erin is a character a female reader can be proud of. She is not one to be swept off her feet, very practical and intelligent. Rory is more optimistic and idealistic, thinking all he needs to rely upon are his face and body. Erin has decided that Rory is not worth waiting for, giving him a run for his money as he tries to convince her he just might be worth taking a chance on.

The scenes that involve Rory attempting to convince Erin he is the man for her are a riot that will keep the reader laughing. Erin's ability to completely enrage Rory is also amusing. Their developing relationship is fun to watch. It would have been nice if Erin had resisted a little bit more. Rory's character is OK. He is a bit on the irresponsible side and too arrogant to realize when he has hurt someone. Erin is a good foil for his character and may even be the key to cracking his arrogant exterior. A reader who enjoys modern romance will enjoy BREAKAWAY.
