This is the first book in the 'The Breakers' Bad Boys' series by Laurie Roma. I have loved some of her other series in the past so I jumped on this as soon as it was released. I have to say Jared made me swoon from the get go:"Hearing that her boyfriend was now ghosted, Hammer wasn't going to waste this opportunity. So what if she was to good for him, she was single now, but not for long. His fairy was going to belong to him."Sigh... Kalista approaches Hammer to help her lose weight and pick up some self-defence. Hammer immediately makes it clear she doesn't need the first but he is more than happy to help with the second. He manoeuvres Kalista into a relationship as soon as he can. She is wary and more than a bit overwhelmed at the attention. 'Hammer's Fall' started strongly. But, by three-quarters of the way through I felt my interest lagging a little bit. Why? The storyline was ok, I really liked the main charters and the writing style was good.What had happened? This isn't a super long book at 166 pages and we are introduced to a wide cast of characters. At times I did get a bit lost in all the extra characters. I know that is setting the scene for future books. In one regard it worked too well I was ready to head on to the next book before this one was finished.The main conflict in "Hammer's Fall" between Hammer and Kalista were small misunderstandings and insecurities.  At times some of these problems seemed a bit petty. But when I thought about it, at the start of relationships small breakdown in communications do seem like a big deal. I liked 'Hammer's Fall" I really did, but I don't know if it's the most memorable Laurie Roma book I have read. I still defiantly be reading the next in the series though and according to Laurie Roma's website there is a book two in the works.
