Fresh Fiction Review

BREAKING OUT
Lydia Michaels

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro
Posted March 2, 2015

Romance Erotica Sensual | Romance Contemporary

Evelyn has had a very hard life. Evelyn works the streets just to survive. That is until she meets Lucian. Lucian gives her everything that she wants. Evelyn has never been so happy in her life. Not only because Lucian gives her everything that she could ever want or need, but their love life is out of this world.

Parker Hughes is someone from Evelyn's past. He wants her back and will do anything to get her back. No matter what the cost. Lucian to spare any pain to Evelyn cuts a deal with Parker. Evelyn is not happy with this at all and is going to let both men know that she doesn't need either one of them.

BREAKING OUT by Lydia Michaels is a combination of Pretty Women and Fifty Shades of Gray. While the story line is a bit steamy, it isn't as bad as Fifty Shades. Since BREAKING OUT is the second book in the trilogy, I feel it would be best to read the first one.

I think I would have enjoyed BREAKING OUT more, if I knew the entire back story. BREAKING OUT doesn't bring the reader up to date on what happened in the previous book. It is however interesting how Lydia Michaels makes you use your imagination with some of the scenes.

BREAKING OUT is a good book, but I would suggest reading the first one and than this one.

SUMMARY

Second in the darkly compelling, sexually-charged contemporary romance Surrender trilogy, in which two men vie for the mind, body, and heart of a woman who may never give in to their wishesβ€”or her own. Evelyn β€œScout” Keats has left behind her painful past of surviving on the streets, and is now living in the luxurious penthouse master suite of Hotel Patras with her lover, billionaire Lucian Patras. But what she doesn’t know is the price Lucien paid for her freedom. To protect Scout’s life, Lucian cut a deal with a dangerous man from her past, Parker Hughes. He swore to stay away from her for thirty days, even though he knows Parker will be fighting to keep them apart for good and take Scout as his own. Yet neither man realizes that Scout is not about to be used as a prize or a bargaining chip for any man’s power playβ€” and she falls back on her hard-earned self-respect and courage to show both men that the only person she truly needs is herself. But Lucian has other plans.
