Synopsis:
Knox Bauer's life has unraveled to the point of no return. Fighting to fill the emptiness
inside himself, he seeks solace in unfamiliar beds with unfamiliar women. As guardian
to his three younger brothers, he can't seem to do a thing right. But this can't go on...
they look up to him in every way and all he’s done lately is prove how messed up he
really is. Needing a change, he attends a local Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting, where
he finds himself tempted by the alluring instructor, McKenna.
Twenty-one year old McKenna is trying to make amends. After losing her parents in a
horrific accident, she knows if she can just be good enough, maybe she can forgive
herself for what happened. With her newly acquired degree in counseling, she begins
leading a sex addicts group where she meets the troubled Knox and her life takes on
complications she never bargained for. She doesn't have time for a bad boy who only
wants to take her to bed, even if her body disagrees. The fixer in her wants to help, but
trusting Knox's true motivations might take more courage than she has.
When I Break is book 1 in a new mini series by bestselling author Kendall Ryan.
Warning: Contains a stubborn alpha male with addiction issues and loads of sexual
tension between two damaged characters. Read at your own risk.

Kylee's Review:
Talk about total angst and suspense! When I Break oozes with tension between the
leads, and takes the reader on a wild ride of what's going to happen next! I
love a good forbidden romance, and this definitely is a beginning of a romance
that shouldn't be. It's like oh so wrong, but oh so right. Sometimes people
can't help who they fall in love with. Especially when there is such a strong
connection from the beginning.
McKenna is a counselor and throws herself into
any kind of charity work she can. She craves to help others, mostly to get over
her guilt in the past. She's independent in what she wants, yet seems to have
difficulty stepping outside her comfort zone.
Knox is a sex addict, and I
mean that in all literal sense. He throws himself into women's beds to help get
through his past. He has had to grow up pretty fast by having to raise his
younger brothers, but struggles daily with his addiction. He didn't see it as a
problem, but the more he attends his Sex Addiction Anonymous class, he learns he
just may be using it to cover wounds.
I don't want to give much away, so I
will just say that this was a very quick read. Like the kind you sit down with
and can't put down till finished! Kept me on edge the entire time. I wanted more
from the characters, but yet understood the hesitation...which only adds to the
suspense. MOST definitely I could feel the connection in the book. Emotions were
raw and it was like a journey of the characters finding themselves and using
each other to overcome demons. I am sitting on pins and needles to see what
happens next in When I Surrender.
