When It Breaks
He had run across the ocean...
Only to now be running from the ocean itself.
Dr. Jeremy Philips took the chance of a lifetime to work abroad and record seismic events before they even occur. Late nights, early mornings, and passing encounters only led him to the event that would bring him closer to his truth.
His truth is a tight smile and curt nod. Morning tea and hidden messages. Anything to get her to smile... for her walls to open up to him.
A final chance, before everything they know is swept away.
Themes Natural disasters, not meeting parental expectations, trauma from childhood, fear of the ocean, panic attacks, vomit due to panic, nepotism, and explicit sexual relations (MM & FM) are present throughout.

This is my second book by Erin and I really enjoyed it. Erin has such a beautiful writing style that really draws you in. The spicy scenes don't hurt either. I'm also a sucker for nicknames. They get me everytime. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a spicy dystopian book. It checks all the boxes! I am looking forward to reading more from the author.

Did I spend all my time fangirling over Jeremy? Yes, yes I did.
But seriously, this was such a good second book for this series and I often found myself having to pause because Erin writes SO beautifully. I may have gone overboard with the highlighting but I couldn’t stop.
Tomiko and Jeremy were so fun to read and Tomi’s character really hit home for me as an “I can do it all myself” kinda girl. Watching her slowly let Jeremy in had me kicking my feet until the very end.

I could not put this book down. I haven’t read a book this quickly in a long time! The suspense balanced with the romance was devilishly delicious.
I don’t have extreme anxiety, nor do I have panic attacks, and I have never been in a catastrophe, but reading this book made me feel all of them. The realness of the emotions that Erin puts in her writing are exquisite!
Adding rebel into the mix was genius, I will never get over him!
