Years later, we meet again, and this time, he’s a powerful man, and I’m on a date with someone else. Jealousy rears its ugly head, and I find myself drawn to him once again.

Editoral Review
Title: Breaking You
Author: J.L. Beck
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Breaking You by J.L. Beck is a beautifully crafted contemporary romance novel that explores the intricacies of human relationships and the power of love in the face of adversity. J.L. Beck is an accomplished author with several books under her belt, and this latest offering only reinforces her status as one of the leading voices in the contemporary romance genre.
The novel is set in a small town in California and follows the story of two childhood best friends, Ava and Mason, who are reunited after ten years of being apart. Ava, a successful businesswoman, returns to her hometown to take over her family’s bakery, while Mason, a decorated war hero, has recently returned from active duty.
As the two reconnect, they find that their feelings for each other have not diminished, but the secrets they keep threaten to tear them apart. One of the strengths of this novel is the way J.L. Beck handles the theme of PTSD and how it affects the relationship between the two main characters.
The author does an excellent job of portraying the emotional turmoil that Mason is going through, and the toll it takes on his relationship with Ava. The characters are fully realized, with complex backstories that make them relatable and easy to empathize with.
The pacing of the novel is also commendable, with the plot unfolding at just the right speed. The author skillfully weaves together the plot points, creating a story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
The chemistry between Ava and Mason is palpable, and the love scenes are tasteful and well-written, adding to the overall emotional impact of the novel. However, the novel is not without its faults.
While the plot is engaging, there are times when it becomes predictable, and the ending feels a little too neat and tidy. Additionally, some of the supporting characters could have been developed more fully, leaving the reader wanting more.
Overall, Breaking You by J.L. Beck is a gripping contemporary romance novel that explores the complexities of love and relationships with skill and grace. While it may not be perfect, it is a well-crafted and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of the genre.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a heartwarming, yet emotionally resonant story. Rating: 4/5 stars
