When you have never experience real love it's hard to say those words because they don't mean anything.  This is what Evelyn "Scout" is feeling the one person that she loved let her down.  Now here is this man that she has been with for one month and he is wanting for her to say yes.  Then when she says no adamantly he breaks her heart.  Only she has no idea the deal that he took in order to save her life.Breaking Out is the second installment in the Surrender series by Ms. Michaels and I have to say that I was more emotional in this read that in the last one.  This one had me crying so much because Evelyn believed that Lucien was discarding her like trash but she had no idea what her friend had conditioned him to in order for Lucien to save her life.  I know why Lucien needed to take that deal but why not just be truthful to Evelyn but would she have listened would she have seen it the way he saw it.  I have to say that I was heart broken for Lucien and pain he was going through in not having the person that he loved beside him.Evelyn "Scout" Keats is living a life she never would have thought; she now has a home with Lucien.  Her mother is in treatment but she is still having episodes where she wants a hit.  The other thing is that Pearl, Scout's mom, believes that Lucien is satan because he is the one that got her into treatment.  Pearl has no idea that she is safe that she is not going to die out on the street but the heroin will always be on her mind.  Evelyn knows that she needs to find a job because who knows when Lucien is going to kick her to the curb and she will not live out on the street ever again.  Something has been bothering Lucien but he will not tell her what is going on only that he made a bad deal.  Then one day she overhears him talking on the phone about getting an apartment.  Is he seeing someone and putting her up in there?Lucien Patras loves Evelyn and will give her anything that she wants.  He knows that soon he is going to have to either let her go or try to get her to marry him.  He hates that she is still thinking about her best friend, Parker, but it seems that he is going to have to set up a dinner so she can see that he is not dead.  Only that doesn't go well because Lucien knows that his time is up, she either says yes when he proposes or he is going to have to let her go for thirty days and no contacting her.  When he lets Evelyn go he knows that she hates him and he will have to work very hard to get her to trust him again.Parker Hughes is an evil, evil young man.  I have to say that I liked him in Falling In but I truly dislike him in this book.  Okay so he made a deal with Slade, business partner of Lucien, and now he has made a good living and is ready to seduce Scout.  He believes that he is going to make her see that they are more compatible together because they have lived out on the street together.  I hate what he did to Lucien and I think that is where I lost total respect for him.  I know that he was there to protect Scout when she needed it and yes he should have a chance with her too since he has been in love with her for some time.  Only come on and play fair and don't do these side deals that might come back to bit you in the behind in the end.Breaking Out is a great continuation to the Surrender Series.  Once again the characters and their dialogue were well developed.  The storyline was captivating.  There were times that I really wanted to strangle Evelyn because she was being a little brat but guess what I understood her.  She needed her independence after she thought that Lucien didn't want her she needed to know that she couldn't live out on the streets again.  I was also mad with Parker because he left one detail well maybe a couple of details out of why he wanted her near.  He was lying to her and that alone pissed me off.  The pace of this story is excellent.  Now as for the chemistry between Evelyn and Lucien it was smoking hot.  I am surprised that my kindle didn't go up in flames.  I was surprised with Evelyn and how much she grew in her sexuality.  I could not believe that this was the same virgin young woman.I really can't wait to read the final installment in this series.  I love Ms. Michaels writing style, it's clear and focused.  I love how descriptive her scenes are and how her sexual encounters are tastefully written.I totally recommend this read to all readers.
