#Contemporary, #Romance, #Sports,

She had no time in her life for a man.

Least of all a swoony hockey player who was allergic to commitment.

Jules was just trying to give her kid a good life. She worked hard, kept her head down, and avoided men like the plague.

Because men were a plague.

There was a reason she was a single mom, scraping together an existence, and faking it for her kid.

She’d been burned. Bad.

It didn’t matter that Cas was successful and smart and could kiss like a dream…

It didn’t matter that he wanted her.

She wouldn’t put her heart on the line.

Not ever again.

5 out of 5 (exceptional)


BLOWOUT is the sixth book in the Breakers series but you could read it as a standalone. Both characters are mentioned in previous books but you don't NEED to have read those to fully appreciate this story.


Cas was a player - until Jules came into his life. Now, he wants her but won't go past the boundaries she has set. Jules has too much going on in her life to put up with a playboy! Her son needs her and she needs work to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. But Cas - very gently - breaks down her defences. And what horrible way does he do that? By caring. By putting her first. By treating her the way he believes she should be treated. Oh, man!


I felt for both Cas and Jules in this. Yes, Cas is in a better position financially, but emotionally, he's just as hurt as Jules. It is by being together, by opening themselves to each other, that these two work so well. No lies, no games (not conscious ones, anyway,) just two people trying to figure out what everyone else seems to already know.


The pacing was perfect and I read this in one sitting, unable to put it down. I was lost in their story and loved every word. A great addition to the series and absolutely recommended by me. Now, I just need to wait for Theo's story!
