Breakaway is a stand alone, M/M romance by Kindle Alexander. This is one of my favorite kind of romances, the ones that start with that meeting of the eyes, that instant jolt that tells you that this is a moment in your life you will never forget. A moment that changes everything. That’s exactly how it began for Dallas and Greer.

Dallas Reigns is twenty seven years old and is literally burning the candle at both ends, not sure how much longer he can hang on at this pace. He and his two brothers h ...more

This book is classic Kindle Alexander, slow build, great characters, all the feels, a little drama that makes you want to soothe the guys and the dreaded side character you want to stab in the eye with a sharp implement.
The story takes a little while to suck you in, then you can’t turn the pages fast enough to see what’s going to happen next.
Why I gave this a four stars is because it fell a little flat at the end for me. No spoilers here, but the time skip and what happened felt a little antic ...more

I was debating myself before writing my review. I love Kindle and I was crazy about her book, Always.
Breakaway is a standalone story about Greer and Dallas who were met the business deal. I do not understand about online cycling business, just knew it from Will Morowski on Instagram. Probably because I had no idea about this, a little too much information and technical, bored me. Greer in my opinion is one of those clingy boyfriend that some people needed, but not me, I felt claustrophobic readi ...more

If I had to summarize this book with one word it’s poignant. This boom has left me with a book hangover the likes I haven’t had in a long time. I also was caught between the desire to read this book in one marathon stretch but am ultimately happy I savored the book over the course of three days. If I have one regret, it’s that I can only read this book for the first time once.

You guys know how much I love a smart, sexy, sweet M/M romance and damn, if Breakaway wasn’t just that!

From the start, I loved Dallas from his swoony good looks to his devotion to making something out of BikeBros down to his smart, sweet interactions with his brother, Ducky. Dallas is someone who puts everyone and everything ahead of his own wants and desires. He’s buried his feelings for so long, he really doesn’t know what he wants. Until he lays eyes on Greer.

And, wowza, is Greer an eyeful. ...more

I loved this! Kindle Alexander wrote engaging characters who had me rooting for them the whole time. Greer had an attraction to Dallas and initially saw him as more of a conquest, but spending time with Dallas showed him how much more was possible. It was great seeing Greer realize what he wanted.

Dallas and Greer’s story has the same feel as Secret. Fairly light hearted, romantic, and sweet. There was a tad bit of relationship drama but it didn’t last long. Loved MOST of the side characters and HATED one. There were a few KAU( Kindle Alexander Universe) cameos and mentions which I loved!

ARC received for an honest review.

Greer Lockhart is a man that everyone should emulate. He wants to make the world a better place and he lives his day to day life just like he preaches. He doesn't mind making money in the process but the end game is the betterment of the world and the people in it. He is using this new interactive exercise app call BikeBros and is frustrated that Biker 101 threw the race against him. He sets out to find out who Biker 101 is and to get a rematch. In the meantime ARC received for an honest review.

Greer Lockhart is a man that everyone should emulate. He wants to make the world a better place and he lives his day to day life just like he preaches. He doesn't mind making money in the process but the end game is the betterment of the world and the people in it. He is using this new interactive exercise app call BikeBros and is frustrated that Biker 101 threw the race against him. He sets out to find out who Biker 101 is and to get a rematch. In the meantime he meets a guy at a club that instantly attracts him and has him thinking long-term for the first time in his life.

Dallas Reigns is 1/3 of the brother team making up BikeBros. He's the middle brother who is the face and backbone of the company. He lives with his younger brother Ducky and is drowning in debt to make their dream a reality. He's also hiding a big secret from his family. When he's out at the club celebrating his boss's birthday he meets Greer. The attraction is instant and because he's so drunk, he's unable to hide it. This starts a chain of events that is the beginning and ending of Dallas's life as he knows it.

I really liked this story. Dallas and Greer have great chemistry together and it plays out well in the story. Their personalities blend well and after just a few misunderstandings they are able to have a mutually loving and beneficial relationship. Dallas has to make some really hard decisions to have Greer in his life but quickly realizes that sometimes to be true to yourself those decisions aren't so hard after all. Greer realizes that mixing business with pleasure isn't always a bad thing. These two guys have family issues that are heartbreaking and show us that not all parents give their children unconditional love. I also like that the authors continue to intermingle their books together by having other characters cameo in this book. As much as I liked Dallas and Greer, my favorite character is Ducky. I really want to read Ducky's story. He is treated poorly by his older brother and father and it pulled at my heartstrings. He's a really strong guy and just as much a backbone of BikeBros as Dallas. I hated Donnie from the first moment he was mentioned. He is a bully and a bigot and didn't deserve to be part of Dallas and Ducky's lives. All I can say about him is good riddance to bad rubbish. I highly recommend this book. Thank you to the Ladies Alexander for allowing me to read and review this book. ...more

The story starts with us meeting Dallas and his brothers who are trying to make a go of their fitness business BikeBro. We meet Greer separately and learn that Greer’s personal trainer is Dallas’ best friend. As we get to know a little about our main characters the story moves a bit slowly. Then Greer meets Dallas the first time and their chemistry is off the charts and the story takes off. I was hooked.

Breakaway is a wonderful, swoony worthy romance by Kindle Alexander.

It took me a while to get into this one. I admit that setting up the circumstances, with the business info, had me bored. But things pick up quickly and by the end I was mesmerized by this love story. Cue the book hangover.

It took me a while to get into this one. I admit that setting up the circumstances, with the business info, had me bored. But things pick up quickly and by the end I was mesmerized by this love story. Cue the book hangover.

Dallas doesn't want to be attracted to men. But with Greer he struggles to hold back. He's spent his life closeted and in denial, but with Greer, everything comes together. Both man feel peace and contentment when together.

Greer knows that Dallas is the man for him. He just needs to convince Dallas that being together is worth it. What follows is a powerful journey for the two men. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

I love the title, as it indicates Dallas's fear and his burdens of expectations. He's lived his life closeted due to his family circumstances. As well, he is part of the business the brothers created and he works way too hard due to their attitudes. In Greer, he finds someone who encourages and supports him in finding a way to live for himself. He finds a reason to "breakaway" from his chains and be the man he wants to be.

My heart breaks for Dallas. He's miserable, living a life he doesn't want. His family issues are drowning him and he's overworking himself. He just wants to grab his chance to be happy. A lifetime of being firmly in the closet, he's also lived a lifetime of being riddled with anxiety. When you learn the depth of his background, you will cry. The poor man has suffered a lot. Seeing Greer help him find his courage, reason, and strength to be himself is wonderfully inspirational.

I love these men and their relationship. Sometimes we need help to live freely, and Dallas definitely needs that help. The characters have a lot of layers and their journey is certainly complex. With the author's amazing writing style, they are fully brought to life and the reader is able to follow every emotion along the way. You will cry and swoon along the way, so be prepared for the emotional rollercoaster.

Breakaway is truly a stellar read. Kindle Alexander brings plenty of pain and hurt into this story, yet leave us readers feeling blessed to see the uplifting happily ever after ending. ...more

I love books by Kindle Alexander. They are well written, have hardly any mistakes and deliver with enough emotion for me to turn the pages. The beginning and world building were unusually slow and what drove me nuts was the ladies' desire to give at least four characters in this book a name starting with D. So when I read the first two chapters I went back again to check out who's who.

Breakaway is truly wonderful. Kindle Alexander delivers the perfect combination of slow-burn and 'omg I can't wait to make you mine' kind of romance. That kind of potent insta-love on one man's part while the object of their desire is a bit more pensive. But there is no denying that the heat between Greer and Dallas is undeniable and with each turn of the page, only gets more delicious.

I really love Greer and Dallas. Very different in their lifestyles and their supposed sexual preferences but bo Breakaway is truly wonderful. Kindle Alexander delivers the perfect combination of slow-burn and 'omg I can't wait to make you mine' kind of romance. That kind of potent insta-love on one man's part while the object of their desire is a bit more pensive. But there is no denying that the heat between Greer and Dallas is undeniable and with each turn of the page, only gets more delicious.

I really love Greer and Dallas. Very different in their lifestyles and their supposed sexual preferences but both are hard-working and very loyal men. I couldn't help but chuckle at Greer's harsh ways since underneath that fierce bravado was a softie who would move mountains for those he cared for. His sister Kailey is a hoot as well, never taking anything the at-times gruff Greer would say to her seriously and actually knew just how to put him in his place when needed. And Dallas. Talk about a good man. It's no wonder Greer saw what he liked almost immediately since the solid guy inside was just as enticing as what he appreciated on the outside.

The fact that Dallas keeps insisting he is straight is no match for the determined Greer. Alexander handles the confusion and secret longing for men that Dallas has had, beautifully. They allow Greer to never push Dallas too hard but yet keep him close as new business partners in order for Dallas to finally realize that he is in fact gay and doesn't want to let his mister go.

There is ton of push and pull with both Greer and Dallas unsure and unsettled as their attraction and love affair continues to gain ground and only gets stronger with each passing day. The constant feeling of doubt is a very real and very rough part of their journey but the sexual chemistry is off the charts crazy-good and the erotic trysts between them only fueled the fire within them to find that steady balance they both needed.

In addition, the entire premise of BikeBro was brilliant! Even though it's a fledgling start-up, I had great fun seeing how they managed within the confines of a small apartment and how desperate the Reigns brothers were to find success. Ducky as the 'silent' techie guy was a stand-out in every scene he was in and I loved watching him become so much more under his brother Dallas's watchful eye. His relationship with Greer was very special and made me smile for both of them that they found a surprising kindred spirit in each other.

With key cameos from beloved Kindle Alexander characters and the presence of good friend Skye and the afore-mentioned Kailey, Breakaway is most definitely a family affair. Perhaps a family that isn't always connected by blood but you couldn't find a closer-knit group if you tried.

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment with Greer, Dallas and the rest of this incredible crew (well maybe not the repulsive Donny and Mr. Reigns) and I can only hope we see more of them in future works. Breakaway is a easy-flowing kind of book. Sure there are bumps along the way but they aren't too severe nor are they ultimate deal-breakers. Instead, I was treated to a beautiful burgeoning love story with all the feels and more.

5 solid stars! ...more
