**BOOK REVIEW** Breaking Away (The Assassins Series Book #5) by Toni Aleo


About the book:

BREAKING AWAY is a story of loss, healing, and love… where unexpected turns and heartache lead to passion.

To Nashville Assassins’ leading scoring center Phillip Anderson, playing hockey has always been easy… as natural as breathing. His life is no different. That’s until his world is turned upside down by the death of his sister. While mourning his loss, Phillip has to find a way to make his very angry sixteen-year-old niece, Claire, happy. Now, as her guardian, he discovers the only thing that seems to heal her lonely heart is dance class. But what he didn’t count on was the attraction he’d feel towards her drop-dead sexy dance teacher.

For Reese Allen, dancing has always been part of her soul. After having her heart broken in New York, she comes home with the determination to make her dance studio one of the best in Tennessee and succeeds. When she sees Claire dance for the first time, she knows the girl is bound for greatness and takes the troubled teen under her wing. Using dance as therapy, she suddenly finds herself bound to the young woman… and her hot-as-sin uncle.

However, Phillip and Reese are happy in their single lives. It’s simple. They do what they want, who they want, and how they want, but from the moment they meet, the attraction is undeniable. Soon, they are more than willing to spend just one night tangled in the sheets. But, one night turns into two, and two turns into three, until they find themselves in a repeated dance of “One Last Time” that has the potential to be something more… if only Reese and Claire allow it.

Can Phillip find a way to thaw the hearts of both the women in his life, or will he be forever trying to break them away from their pasts?

~My Review~ 
5 Stars
(Possible Spoilers)


Breaking away is close to tying with Taking Shots as being my favorite Assassins Novel! Reese & Phillip's Story is so emotional and sexy, you'll be wishing it would never end! I wasn't sure is i was going to like Reese Allen, she always seemed a little cold in the other books. But i was so wrong. There is so much to this tall, beautiful, dancer. She has been burned bad in her past, by a man she though she would spend the rest of her life with. But being the strong, independent, successful women she is, she picked her self up and made a name for her self in the dance world. And now owns one of the top dance schools. Now on to Phillip Anderson aka (The Pussy Killer) ;) OH BOY did i love Phillip! He is SO close to tying with my with Shea Adler for being the most swoon worthy guy on the Assassins team! He is tall, sexy, & he goes for what he wants. Not to mention he changes his life so much to care for his teenage niece Claire. And he becomes the best uncle or dad you could say, to her. Even wtih all the problems she causes him. He stays strong for her. I really loved Claire & Reese's relationship too. It was sweet, and i loved how Reese took to Claire, and  believed in her & her dancing. I loved Reese & Phillip through this whole story! The laughs, sex, fights, drama, romance. All of it made for such a fun book!
