Breaking Free is the fifth book I have read by Alexis Noelle and I have to say that this book just reiterated why I love her books.  What I truly enjoy the most about her books is that they are fast moving and flow smoothly.  This book was no different.  The prologue of this book actually starts out with a punch and then the rest of the book holds you until you hit the very last page.  I have to say this was one book I didn't want to end.  The only negative about this book for me was I wish we would've gotten more of Drew's POV.  We get a little sneak peek in the Epilogue and then that's it.  I would've loved to know what he was thinking throughout the whole book.  Like I said before this book was fast paced and quite steamy.  This is one you can definitely finish in a couple of hours.This book is about a broken girl….Holly and a broken musician….Drew.  Each of these characters are broken for totally different reasons, but my heart broke for them equally once their stories come out.  Their story is truly a case of lust at first sight, but turns into Love at first sight.  Neither one of them were looking for a commitment but soon grow to depend on each other.  They definitely have their ups and downs, but in the end they figure out how to compliment each other.  Drew is the lead singer for a popular band.  Something tragic happens to him when he was in high school and this causes him to pull away from everyone and he needs to have complete control.  Drew is for sure a character that you will have a Love/Hate relationship with.  He could be a sweet and tender guy one moment and then a complete Dbag the next.  I wanted to smack him quite a few times for the way he treated Holly.  But deep down I knew I would love him because I knew there was a great man underneath the surface and I am truly glad I was proven right.  Holly was a sweet girl who had something horrific happen to her and now because of that she is afraid to trust and can't stand being touched.  My heart broke for her, I couldn't imagine going through life knowing that the simplest touch caused me unending pain.  Even with this Holly was truly desperate to have love and a relationship with someone like her BFF's do.  This is when she meets Drew and her whole world changes.  You see Drew is the only person that can touch Holly without it causing her pain.  I loved watching these two grow together and to overcome their issues.  Holly and Drew will have you laughing, swooning, panting and even yelling at your kindle.I loved that we got to see some other characters from another one of Alexis's books (Lucas and Becca).  It was only a small snippet but it was cool to see.  Every book I have read of Alexis's I have loved her secondary characters.  She truly knows how to create great friends and family for her characters.  This book was no different.So if you are looking for that love at first sight love story that has a lot of steam and great characters that won't take long to read….then this is the book to read.  I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a quick and steamy read or if you are already a fan of Alexis's work.  I know I will read anything she writes :)
