Review: Break Inside - Karen Renee

Break Inside by Karen Renee
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Break Inside by Karen Renee is part of the Riot MC Next Generation series and focuses on the characters Ryan ‘Nickel’ and Ivy. All Ivy wants to do is find her sperm donor, but when she does Ryan and his two siblings are standing in her way. When Ivy gets into a spot of bother, it is Ryan that literally stands in the way of a gunman to save her, even though it means being taken himself. Thus, starting the slow burn romance between the two as they try to survive a gunman and threats not only to themselves but also other members of the MC.

This book starts straight in with the action and although we get a little bit of backstory, this series is very much focused on the new generation with other characters popping up now and again. I liked the sass that Ivy gave Ryan. Yes, she thought her was cute, but she wasn’t going to put up with his nonsense either, especially when at the start he certainly got it all wrong on why Ivy was looking for her ‘father’.

Both characters fight the feelings they have for each other from the get go and don’t want to get into a relationship, but low and behold, that is exactly what they get into, and they’re totally meant to be together. Ryan is a protector trying to look after a woman who can protect herself, and Ivy smooths some of Ryan’s rough edges.

I liked that this story didn’t have any relationship angst and it was more focused on the action and attention that outsiders were trying to throw at them.

I would definitely read the previous books in this series as well as the series before just to get your head around characters and things that may be going on with them and the MC. But, if you love strong characters and a great storyline, you’re going to want to read this book!

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
