The Breaking Free Series Box Set: Freeing Asia / Breaking Shaun / Saving Jay
Freeing Asia — Book 1
How does a tomboy raised in a house full of men find the sensual woman inside of her? Growing up with a widowed, retired Marine as a father and two older brothers taught Asia to be tough. But how does she stop being one of the guys and learn to find the right one?
Finding herself won't be easy, finding love will be even harder.
Meeting Jay opens Asia's eyes to the possibility of love and unbelievable sex but can his country club world accept the woman more comfortable in torn jeans and flip-flops? Or will she find the love she yearns for in the tattooed arms of her first love, a pro skater who has come back into her life?
With the possibility of new love or closure from a painful first love, finding her path is riddled with uncertainty and discoveries but before she can follow her heart she must first set it free.
Breaking Shaun— Book 2
Some men fall in love and hand their balls over to the first woman who keeps them interested—but not me. Surfing and my freedom are the only two things I’ve ever needed. Meaningless one-night stands are fun, but the drama and jealousy that follows them aren’t worth it.
Until I met Natalie, I never realized there were women who thought like me. She enjoys sex with no strings, and with a body like that, there isn’t a man around who doesn’t want a piece of her—including me.
But our friends and relatives all run in the same circles. And we all know friendship and sex leave a mess. Hearts always end up broken.
I know it.
But I still want her.
Sometimes, the things we want don’t always come easily. Every choice, every action has consequences that can change you.
They can change everything.
And no matter how fiercely guarded, even the strongest hearts can break.
Saving Jay— Book 3
Jay
My life was a dark and desolate place. Consumed by work and full of regret, loneliness had become my closest friend. Ink and a tattoo machine were my therapy, a way to claim my own skin with the art that I loved.
The day I walked into her shop, I knew I’d found what I needed.
The light I’d been looking for.
Jade
When I first looked into those blue eyes I saw a depth behind them that I wanted to explore. Jason “Jay” Clarke was more than a perfectly pressed suit and dimpled smile. He was a man with a heart of gold drowning in the weight of his world.
He wanted me to mark him.
I never expected him to soothe my aching heart.
When our worlds collide and Jay begins to fall apart, will my love be enough to save him?

This Trilogy by E. M. Abel is one of the best that Ive read in a long time.
The descriptions of the characters make you fall in love and want to be with them or help them. Either way, the story lines are incredible. dealing with issues that we have had in life or know of someone that has dealt with these problems.
Freeing Asia, brings together lost loves (High school sweethearts) Asia and Marcus. Dealing with insecurities on both sides, they finally make a commitment to each other and get their HEA.
Breaking Shaun, has Shaun, the forever bachelor feeling differently about the only woman that doesn't jump when he calls or smiles. The strong willed Natalie is a perfect match for Shaun and it takes him forever to realise that love isn't the end of the world, but the beginning.
Saving Jay, Poor Jay, after the first book you only wish him the best in life. Hoping that he finds his one true love that will fit into his world. But which world is that. The Light or the Dark side of life. On top of all that turmoil he has to deal with a father that never showed him love. Now meet Jade, A sassy tattoo artist with her own issues. She has to deal with her own problems and let go just to save Jay from himself.
You will not be disappointed if you read these books seperate or together. Well worth my time.
