In BREAKAWAY the action of the players on the New York
Blades hockey team moves to Ballycraig, Ireland. Rory Brady
grew up in Ballycraig until he and his family moved to the
United States where he discovered hockey. Now, the first
Irish player in the NHL loves living in New York and playing
for the Blades. So much so, that he let his new-found fame
go to his head causing him to break his engagement to Erin
O'Brien when she demanded they set a wedding date. Two years
later, he's realized he made a big mistake turning his back
on the love of his life and his Irish friends. He's back in
Ballycraig during the off-season to make amends and win Erin
back, assuming she's still interest.
Erin was devastated when Rory broke their engagement. It has
taken her a long time to recover from the heartbreak. She
quit her job and has been living and working at her parent's
B and B. Erin has been secretly taking on-line courses and
is about to graduate with her degree in Art History. She's
ready to explore to world without Rory if she can just
breakaway from her mother. When Rory returns she determined
avoid him... except she still loves him... and he's pretty
determined. Can Rory prove he plans to love her forever?
Fans of the Blades series will thoroughly enjoy the latest
installment in the series. Since the majority of the story
takes place in Ireland, we don't see much of the other
players, though one does come to visit and stir things up.
The change in setting adds a colorful twist to the story
through which we get to spend time at a quintessential Irish
pub and sheep farm. I liked Erin and Rory and enjoyed
reading the twists and turns they go thorough to find their
way back to each other. There is a subplot involving Erin's
best friends that adds depth and drama to the story.
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?
