I purchased Beyond the Breaking Point by Zena Wynn without reading the blurb because I have loved all her work and felt this would be as good, or better. When I finally read the blurb the book reminded me of another series I’ve read by Sienna Mynx and seemed to be very complicated so it was placed in the vacation TBR pile.  Well, why did I wait so long, this book was FANTASTIC!  The triangle between Cassidy, Max and Phillip was complex and intriguing.  When you first start the book you feel this will be just another sensual romance, because it jumps into a “scene” immediately.  But as the book progresses Ms. Wynn creates emotional ups and downs, complex familial ties and throws in a few snags that were never expected.  Love triangles between husband, wives and best friends are not new story lines, but when you add in the family dynamic of parents stuck in the 50’s era mindset of you get married, you stay married regardless of what your spouse does and beliefs that someone soul is dammed because of their actions, this added a dimension to the story that I had not expected.  I believe that the morals and attitudes instilled in the three main characters during their upbringings created many of the issues that are present in this story.  While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, there is always a part of every story that bothers me.  For most of the story I did not like Cassidy! (At the end of the story I still don’t like her.)  Her attitude toward Phillip and Max, toward her marriage and toward her career bothered me.  I felt that her constant second guessing her value and worth as a woman, which lead to her second guessing her right to be happy with a man made me want to throw her into a counselors chair.  Her decision at the end of the story actually enraged me.  Since I do not like spoilers, I will not state the decision and therefore cannot explain why I am enraged. All I will say is that I will immediately read the sequel to this book Broken, because it just can’t end like this and because it will be another Zena Wynn book to add to my library.  After I read Broken I will hopefully be able to review that book and feel better about Cassidy.
