Coco.V's Reviews > Breaking Her

Outstanding read !

I adore this author to pieces! In my opinion R.K. Lilley can do no wrong and each and every time I read one of her books, I’m a goner. Breaking Her is not a standalone. It is the final book in Love is War Duet. This conclusion reached and surpassed all my expectations !

After reading Breaking Him I was left with so many questions and I got all the needed answers. From past to present everything came out and when I learnt the actual truth that was slowly unveiled my heart seriously broke for both of them.

There was so much secrets, lies, deceits and suffering between them that it was at times hard to stomach. What they went through, the misery, the pain, the angst, the heartache, the long-suffering was just unbearable.

The author did a fantastic job writing these characters. Scarlett is strong and feisty and never annoying. She has truly overcome a lot in her life and most people would never be able to function normally after enduring what Scarlett did.

Dante ! Dante! What can I say…I just loved him. Everything he did and said was to protect her. No part of him has ever wanted to stop protecting her. Even from herself. He had to make a choice. Her freedom or her love. Those were his choices. It was no choice at all, but it broke them all the same.

They both paid the price. For five years, they tormented each other, both engaged in a merciless war. Their history was long and destructive. Their HEA didn't come easy but I think all the hard work they had to do made their love even much stronger. They only made sense together.

Ms Lilley definitely has a magic touch when it comes to creating sizzling chemistry between the characters. Scarlett and Dante’s story is beautiful, gripping, engaging, intense and emotional.

I highly recomment this poignant and powerful read. I loved the writing style, loved the characters and the storyline had me riveted and I was consumed with it step of the way!
