***4.5 out of 5 stars***I've been a fan of Toni Aleo since I read her very first book in the Assassins series. I was super excited to read Breaking Away.I really enjoyed Breaking Away a great deal. I've loved Reese in all the other books and knew it would take a special guy to make her want more than a one night stand. Phillip and Reese were both only looking for a one time thing when they initially hooked up. Phillip isn't looking for a relationship with anyone right now. He is raising his niece Claire now and needs to focus on her right now. Add in Claire has told Phillip to stay away from Reese, and the Philip/Reese dynamic only gets better. However, Phillip and Reese can't seem to stay away from each other.I loved the relationship between Phillip and Claire and how much he loved his niece and always wanted to be there for her. Not that it is easy in the beginning, but once Claire starts dancing with Reese, Claire and Phillip find their footing. I also loved how close Claire and Reese become in this book. Reese is able to talk to Claire through dance in a way no one else can or understands.I loved Phillip and Reese as a couple. I especially loved that Phillip fell for Reese first. As much as I loved all the time Phillip and Reese spent in bed, my favorite part by far was when Phillip brought Reese chocolate cake, ice cream, candy, a heating pad, Midol, and tampons and pads when she was having a horrible period. I totally and completely feel in love with Phillip at that moment. My favorite part with Reese was when she danced for Phillip, since she can say more by dancing than by talking.Breaking Away was a fabulous addition to the Assassins series. I've loved each and every book in the series so far and can't wait until the next book in the series comes out.
