Breaking free series book 1 by C.S Court
This is a good book. Fast paced and full of twists and turns. I found the characters diverse, they had a depth that you don't always find in books. The layout was interesting, we had the original back story of how Connie had been living her life for the last 10 years, and how the only thing that gave her strength to carry on from day to day was her two lovely children. The book starts on a typical school day. Connie is trying to get the children ready, do lunches, nip to the shops to get essentials and do all of this, singlehandedly with two small children and a racing clock.
Connie is a great mum, she adores her children more than life itself and would do anything for them. She has a select few friends that she shares snippets of her life with but will never be able to open up and trust anyone totally.
Lottie is Connies best friend and she's the only person who Connie trusts entirely. She's a bubbly, fun loving friend who, on the outside is a total flirt and a bit of a joker, but in the inside, a warm and loving friend that just wants the best for her best friend, and will do anything she can to make that happen for her.
Dan is a controlling man, who would sooner smack his wife around than iron his own shirt! Everything that he says to his wife is controlling and mean. He had no tolerance forbid children and if they make even the slightest noise, he punishes them verbally and throws away any offending 'loud' toys.
Hunter is a businessman that has been burnt in the past. He likes the finer things in life, but having lived a quieter life as a child with not mug money, he appreciates the fact that money shouldn't change you, and he's looking for someone who feels the same way. After a chance meeting in a bar, hunter and Connie discover a deep connection that neither of them can explain. Their chance encounter is cut short and they desperately try to hold into the few hours of time the managed to spend together, before everything turns sour.
I liked this story, however I thought the plot moved too quickly at times. The story lines are sometimes a little haphazard and you have to skip back a few pages to see what you just read, and refresh yourself on where you are or what characters are speaking. There are a lot of twists that you don't see coming, so it's definitely one to stick with. I'll be reading the next one in the series soon, and as this one ended in a killer cliffhanger, I'll need to get stuck in to see what happens next xxx

I loved this book immensely it was like this author had looked into my life and see me out with my mate on a Saturday nite , yes I'm the one that would cry with laughter till I almost peed my pants at my mates falling all over in the drunken state, the friend ship connie and lottie have is a great and a special one, one that sticks together no matter what life throws at them, I would crack up laughing at the pair of them and what they'd get up to,
SC Court's writing is brilliant she drags you into her story with in the first few pages and keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what the hell is going to happen next,
Her ability to describe the characters in this book is absolutely brilliant ,
Hunter oh my god the way the author describes him is amazing ️has soon has connie collides with him in the Nite club is heavenly and very very HOT she make you swoon for him within the first few lines of Comnie's taking in his appearance,
On the other hand DAN well he,s just plan nasty and evil, every woman's worst nightmare and I hated him from the very start of this book, enough said about that piece of work,
Now lottie on the hand well she had me in stitches she was crazy mad and the thing that would come out of her mouth would have me crying with laughter , she just didn't have a filter and she would say what ever popped into her brain without even thinking about what she was saying I loved her she was a brilliant character.
I will say this much I'm not a fan of cliffhangers , I don't like to be kept waiting but luckily for me book 2 in this series is out already so I can just move on ,
I've rated this book 5 stars and it well deserved I'm excited to see what else this great author brings out and I'll be keeping my eye on her other books , definitely a great read and I'd highly recommend it to any one ,
Great job C S Court you have a fan in me you totally rock ❤️

"Don't think, just feel"
Holy shit, what I felt for Hunter! This guy is amazing, from the minute Connie slams into him you want her to bed him, literally, I could NOT wait for the sex scenes with this guy. He is the perfect, complimentary gentleman who gets Connie because of his past. He's sweet, yet powerful. He's gentle, yet possessive. He is amaze-balls.
Connie is lovely, I love her as a mum, as a best friend and as a survivor. Alright, so her situation isn't good (at all) but she's not excessively tearful (I love that, nobody wants to read constant crying fgs) She is an amazing mum & she is strong, even beaten down by Dan.
Dan, now there is a b@st@rd I'd live to punch in the throat. Loathed him from the start & kudos to the author for being able to write someone so easy to hate as well as someone so easy to love in Hunter!
Lottie had me in hysterics, I want her to be my best friend! Bat-shit-crazy, a laugh a minute yet dependable & understanding! Loved her & the relationship with Connie. "No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up and never give up" what a moto, sums up the girls to a T.
I usually deduct a star for cliffhanger books because I HATE WAITING! But book 2 is available so I'll forgive that, damn right I will be buying it! I want more from this fabulous cast of characters :)
