Breaking Me
Everything in her heart belongs to the man in the black trench coat, but the collar around her neck tells a different story.
Living in Scappoose, Oregon isn't exactly what you'd call thrilling. It's all blue jeans and cornfields as far as the eye can see, and I'm suffocating here. I've got bigger dreams than this town can hold, I want to be one of those girls who actually makes it past the county line.
But just when I think I've got my escape plan figured out, fate decides to mess with me in the shape of a six-foot-four southern redhead named Colt. And God, this guy is everything I never knew I needed. This so-called bad boy falls into my life, thinking he needs to save me from everything. Little did we both know, he did. The thing is, there are real monsters out there, predators that are waiting for the right moment of weakness to strike. Evils that even his broad shoulders might not be able to protect me from. I don't know if we can fight our way through all this darkness, or if he can really keep me safe like he says. Hell, I don't even know if we'll get that fairy tale ending everyone talks about. But here we are.

Ruki Williams was my Adopt an Author pick for May, and wow — I’m so glad she landed in my hands. I really enjoyed this book. Breaking Me grabbed me from page one and refused to let go. It’s raw, emotional, and beautifully messy in all the ways that make a story stick with you.
Remi shattered me in the best way, and Colt’s steady, protective energy made every moment hit even harder. I was fully invested, fully wrecked, and honestly obsessed from start to finish.
And now? I cannot wait to dive into Book 2.
