Romance Contemporary

Erin and Rory are those two kids from high school who every one just knows will end up together. Rory is the town's favorite boy and Erin is the princess who can't do wrong. Rory fully intends to catch Erin and never let her go...until he gets to New York City. The bright lights and opportunities bedazzle him and he never returns to their little town. After two years, Rory is tired of New York and ready to go back and pick up Erin. Erin greets him with a solid "No." What follows are both humorous and serious scenes between that will have the reader immersed in this love story gone wrong.

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.

Rory Brady was Ballycraig's golden boy, the local lad who moved to America and became a professional hockey player. But he broke his promise to Erin O'Brien-and never went back for her. Now Erin has moved on, and Rory must race the clock to prove to her that the man she fell in love with is still there. But can happy-go-lucky Erin risk it all and give another chance to the man who broke her heart?
