Blaire is a student focused on her studies, especially now that finals are approaching. In a party she was dragged to she re-connects with Jason, the boy who used her in high school to get to her friend. Although she still has some unresolved feelings about that, she can't help but still be attracted to him.Jason is thinking of returning back home to support his mom now that his grandfather is sick. So although he likes his life in Tennessee, he moves back home - where he runs into Blaire. He remembers from high school, but never pursued her. However, now that he has laid eyes on her, he can't seem to stay away.With a bit of angst, lots of humor and an abundance of romance Jennifer Snyder managed to deliver a nice, sweet story in Break You.Although its formula was kind of predictable, the story was entertaining and the characters engaging enough that I was drawn in immediately to their story. I liked Jason from the very beginning. He was easy-going and considerate with an added sexy side that had me melting for him. He really wanted to start something with Blaire but she kept him at bay at every turn. Typical male that he was, he made stupid mistakes along the way and Blaire wasn't mature enough to even give him the chance to explain.And that would be my greatest complain about this story - Blaire. I admired her tenacity and determination to focus on her studies, her loyalty to her sister and her outgoing personality as was displayed by her interactions with her friends, but she had a tendency to run away from confrontations and making bad decisions. For a 23-year old, she sure lacked the ability to communicate. She would jump to conclusions, shutting Jason out and making him go through hell for a chance to be with her. I thought she behaved immaturely several times, which stood in the way of me truly connecting to her.Having said that, I do still think that Blaire and Jason's story was a very enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to reading Paige's story. She was a great character in this story and I'm sure her story will be interesting too.
