review 1: I had just finished reading the first book in the Almost Bad Boys Series and was looking forward to the continuation of the Natalie and Colin’s romance. Plus, the 1st book ended with some intrigue, as a mysterious man named Razor had approached Natalie at a bar and warned her about Colin.“Almost Broken Up” starts with Colin telling the readers in his own words about his past and the event that almost ruined his life. This was the only part of the book I liked. From there, the story goes down-hill. No-longer is the courtship of Colin and Natalie the center of the book. The plot goes in a weird direction with Natalie meeting some crazy Russian woman. Natalie has 3 interesting girlfriends, so why the author added this Russian Mob plot is beyond me. Sure, there are a... more couple of funny sections, but I found the new direction of the storyline to be weird. and not at all entertaining. Come on, within minutes of meeting this strange woman, Natalie befriends her to the point, that she is willing to take part in a crime-Breaking and Entering. The mystery man does make another appearance, but that storyline is quickly resolved. It was a missed opportunity to have rushed that plot. I couldn’t relate to the turn of events that occurred in this 2nd book, and I am not even sure at this point if I want to complete this series. I also completely missed why the book was named, “Almost Broken Up”. Rating. 1.25
review 2: I loved how this starts off with Colin’s POV and we get a history of his background with Faith and what happened right before and leading up to when Faith died. I am soooo glad this was included in Book 2 because after the bomb dropped from book one I really wanted to read more on the issue. Colin and Natalie are going HOT and I do mean HOT and heavy!!! WOWZERS!!! But, now that they are finally getting to a point of being happy some strange tattooed guy named Razor shows up and freaks Natalie out. He is from the past and wants her to warn Colin that he is back and will pay for what he did to ‘HER’. That took us on an adventure that I really wasn’t expecting and had you wandering what kind of crazy psycho this guy truly was. Also, Natalie and Ali end up making a new friend which opened a whole new door of craziness!!! Although their new friend did come in handy when needed against crazy psycho stalkers!!! But, to be honest… I wouldn’t have done half the things those girls got themselves into! I loved Ali’s character though! She was a hoot especially when she was talking with the escort. There wasn’t really a cliffhanger at the end of this novel but it was action packed and was entertaining from beginning to end! less
