"I wanted to be a part of it, be a part of his soul. He was my God, and I worshiped him."

WOW. What an amazing, intriguing and mind-blowing story... It managed to captivate my entire attention from the moment I started reading it. Breach is a dark, gritty, emotional, realistic and heartbreaking story. And above all that, this book is OFF THE CHARTS HOT!!! Seriously. Keep a bucket of ice nearby because you're going to need it.

5 Broken Stars in Hell
"My heart, my soul… they’re gone, dead, but my body remains. This is my purgatory."

There are some people broken on the inside as well as the outside. Empty shells that somehow keep breathing, wishing they were dead. Consumed by darkness, tormented by demons, haunted by reliving their worst nightmares in the unforgiving daylight. The light that shines without reaching their souls.

They live in a prison of their own making, unable to escape. Inside the walls they built around...more

People have gone on and on about the dirty talking in this book...
I AM SORRY; FROM NO ANGLE DO I SEE IT AS 'DIRTY TALKING'
IT WAS ABUSIVE TALKING AND SO NOT HOT. CURDE AND ABUSIVE.
And then people say Travis is bad, abusive and mental... Well what the fuck is Nathan then? :\
I don't know who was raping who in this book.. Either Lila was attacking Nate or Nathan was attacking Lila, but I swear they were raping each other at points in this book; rape was happening... LOL!!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
Not only did I love the story, which was beautiful and heartbreaking, I loved the characters, and it was seriously one of the hottest books I have ever read. Ever.

Delilah Palmer is an attorney at a law firm who has been severely overworked the last few months. Not that she minds too much. Lila has a few friends, but she mostly keeps to herself. She has suffered abuse growing up, and it has shaped her into the woman she is today. On the outside, she is a nice normal person,...more

Several awesome reviews have recently been written for this book, frankly there is no way I can add to them. Books either inspire me to write reviews or are so good I can't find the words. This is one of those books. The story is freaking hot and you will need a couple breaks with your significant other throughout but it ends up being so much more. The story is well written and the character development is superb.

He was a broken man, and it made me wonder – can two broken souls make one whole person?
That’s the million dollar question. When two people are shattered emotionally, ultimately what do they have left to give? Breach is a raw, sensual and absolutely heartbreaking read and I couldn’t put it down.
Nathan and Lila get off to a rocky start, what with her managing to give him the middle finger salute even before he’s introduced as her new office mate. Surprise! He’s too good looking and cocky, she’s...more

4.5 dirty shocking stars!!
Holy Shit! I think this is the first time I've read a book with such dirty sex. It was insane, hot at times but still insane!!
Normally I'm don't rate book high which is mostly about sex but this book is so different. To a point that the dirty sex is what made the story..
"Time to fuck that pussy of yours. That’s what you want, isn’t it? You like being fucked fast and rough, don’t you? You want my cock to own your pussy and pound it hard.”
Let me start.. After reading tha...more

Where do I start?? Good gracious. I’m honestly not sure how I feel about this book. There were so many disturbing moments that I don’t even know how to describe what I felt. It’s not your run of the mill erotica that’s for sure. It was dark and very gritty and at times made my toes curl. I hated everything about Nathan the main character.

So, I'll be honest...what drew me to this book was all my friends telling me what a dirty talker Nathan was and Holy Cow - they were right. But as always, that's only part of the story.....
We have two severely messed up people...wait, more than messed up...they are broken, that are extremely attracted to each other. It doesn't help that there is a non-fraternization policy at their work which definitely amps up the intensity. And why not throw in some, or a lot, of jealousy? Just to get things n...more

Hollywood had nothing on us. Awards could be given for the lies we told, and the feelings we hid under a mask of hate and indifference.

Physical attraction is very powerful thing, isn’t it?
I mean, you can be physically attracted to a person you despise;
A person you shouldn’t be attracted to;
A person who can make your thoughts a little bit mindless;
A person who can leave your heart a little bit ribless.

If there was ever a book that needed more than five stars this is it.
Sometimes there are those stories that you become emotionally invested in. You CAN NOT put it down. It consumes you and it will never leave you. Well, Breach is that book.

Can two broken souls make one whole person?
Holy Nathan Thorne.
This book was...steamy to say the LEAST. Oh my word did I love it! And I also loved that the character growth and love story was just as prominent.
This story is all about masks. We have a frigid, bitchy law lady (forgive me if I can't remember her title) who despises her partner, a cocky sex god whom the ladies in the office all drool over. That is the mask. What's under the mask is so much pain and damage that is slowly being revea...more

This is the 2nd book I've read from author K.I. Lynn. The first was part of the Mayhem Erotica Anthology that was provided free during their launch. I loved the first novella I read of K.I's and I absolutely love the 2nd. (Breach being a Novel)

Well, it looks like this is just one of those 'everyone loved it but me' books. Just goes to show you that this story is not for everyone.
How do I even eloquently sum up the first half of this book? Oh...right!

Basically, the first 50% is just filled with angry and rough fucking (it was not sex, fucking is the best way to describe it) with barely any plot. We get a few glimpses into the darkness that Delilah hides. But that is pretty much it.

K. I. Lynn is taking things to a completely new level. The story isn't your average tale, there is no rainbows and unicorns, but dark seems to be the new sexy. Nathan Thorne, the mystery man all the ladies in the office are after; He has some secrets he isn't willing to share. And Delilah Palmer, who is fighting her own dark past is willing to open up, but at what cost? You need to read the find out! I personally loved the story, and cannot wait for the second installment of the series.

I honestly have no idea what I want to write at this moment. I'm stunned, shocked, and disgusted. And I still kept reading. I'm not sure what that says about me. Or if it says anything at all. This book was beyond disturbing on so many levels for me. But again, I kept reading. There is something, amidst all the foul language, the near out of control anger, the almost-for me- abusive sex and emotional pain, that simply forces you to find out what in God's name happened to Nathan.

I really did like this story but I felt it was a bit incomplete and not just because there will be a book 2, more so in how I felt not totally connected to the characters… perhaps that is the point. After all, both Lila and Nathan wear masks to hide their true identity, secrets and pain from the world.
Anyway…. I would recommend this to my book friends that like a tortured, scarred (mentally and physically) sexually aggressive/pos...more

We know that our personal kinks kick in and release that feeling of being completely alive when we read erotica (otherwise we'd all still be reading crime novels!!).

Before I start, can I just say how GORGEOUS the cover is? Drop dead gorgeous and yet very simple at the same time.
So to be honest, this book deserves a hell lot more then 3 stars It´s just that I have this tiny, tiny problem. I am allergic to books with too much sex. It gets old after a while you know? Do the author really have to describe it in detail EVERY time`I prefer books when the focus is on the storyline. And that what I don´t get. The storyline was BRILLIANT.

Hot, wow, full of angst. This book was quick to read, hooked you in from page 1.
Two damaged people , Nathan and Delilah/Lila, desperate to not feel anything find similarity in each other when no one else can understand them.
Breach was an excellent read, the only bad thing I can say is it ends in a cliffhanger. Not a WTF cliffhanger but still one none the less. September cannot come soon enough!

Could it be two broken souls become one?
I was intrigued by the cover, and people said this one is a different kind of BDSM. After reading it, I can say, there’s no BDSM. Yes, there’s rough sex, like rape, with full of anger between the two of them. And they both seems to enjoyed it.
Why?
