Breaking Free #3
Finding Reason
Hunter Natoli lives a different lifestyle to that of his friends. His goal has always been to find his perfect match and to build a future with her. After two serious relationships fail, he is ready to throw those plans away and live the single life.
However, fate has other ideas.
It brings him one night with Alexia—one night that just isn't enough. He finds that he wants to keep her forever, but she walks away leaving nothing but a note on the bed and a memory that haunts him.
Work, music and drumming become the only things that keep him grounded while searching for reasons...
Reasons to keep moving forward.
Reasons to fight for what he wants.
Reasons to breathe.
Alexia O’Mally's life has been planned out for her since she was a young girl, the words 'be the best' embedded in her brain. All work and no play has given her the career she always wanted, but it leaves no time for a dating life.
Now, she wants to be free.
She swears no man will ever tie her down in a relationship... that is until the first time she sees Hunter. There is something about him that she can't seem to resist.
She gives into a night of temptation, only to walk away out of fear.
Time away is supposed to make Alexia forget him. Instead, it shows her that the pull to Hunter is too strong... but by the time she realizes her mistake, it may be too late.
The one man who makes her heart race, giving her a reason to stay, might be out of reach forever.

Hunter and Lexi. I loved reading about them.
He's ready for something more. She wants fun and no commitments. So they go on "non dates" while their friends cheer them on as they realise how good Hunter and Lexi could be together. It's just Lexi who needs to see what she's missing!
I think this has been my favourite book in the series so far.

I love Becca Taylor book the Breaking free series has to be in my top series list . I always love the characters that your meant to love like Hunter and Alexia also the gang of friends I really love them and the couples and future couples then we have the hate characters that you a meant to really really hate like Hunters ex and his cousin that are super cra cra . The H was super adorably HOT when he falls he falls hard and he realizes when he's with Alexia his past relationships couldn't hold a candle to what he fells for that girl he also plays drums enough said with that I have a lady boner for drummers and he also has piercings i wont say were but ''faints'' . Then we have the bada*s ness that is Alexia their were times I literally yelled at my kindle when she sneaks out of his bed and avoids this man meat but when they finally get together i'm cheering them on . The sexual chemistry that they have is off the charts and leaves you panting . After finishing I wanted to read all over again and I did . I NEED MORE PLEASE ;) .

FIVE FANTASTIC STARS!!!!! *****
Finding Reason is the third book in the Breaking Free Series by Becca Taylor and I must say it was my favorite. I highly recommend that you read the whole series so that you're able to follow all of the characters intertwined in all of the books. But this book can be read as a standalone novel without any problem.
I was hooked from the first page and I couldn't lay the book down until I was finished. I LOVED the main characters in this story immensely. They have an emotional roller coaster of a relationship and issues to overcome to see if they can have the future that we want them to have.
When we meet our sexy main character Hunter Natoli, he is in an on again/off again toxic relationship with Gabby. Hunter is not your typically written guy. He works two full time jobs and is the drummer in a band. Of course, he's an alpha that's sexy as sin but he's a good-hearted guy who is a romantic. And, although he's had some disastrous relationships, he wants to find "the woman" to settle down with.
After a break from Gabby, Hunter and Alexia (Lexi) O'Mally are brought together for one night. It was an amazing and explosive night between the two of them. Afterwards Hunter knew that he wanted to be with her forever but Lexi was the opposite of Hunter, she freaked out! Hunter made her feel things so intensely after just one night so she disappeared for awhile. Although, she can't get him out of her mind. Lexi has a lot to deal with because she has never been in a relationship and due to her upbringing she's always been scared of commitment and has wanted to stay free.
When she resurfaces and they reconnect, sparks fly between them! Their chemistry is electric! Everyone that knows them can clearly see that they are a match made in heaven and that they're meant to be but they have to overcome their obstacles and figure it out on their own. Their friends sit on the sidelines, snickering, and watch the show from a front row seat.
Becca Taylor does such a great job with writing stories that characters have mutiple layers, strong personalities, and you find yourself rooting for them or strongly disliking them. With Finding Reason, I found myself laughing out loud, crying, and every other emotion. This is a definite must read!!! 5 Fantastic Stars!

Hunter has been used by one to many of his girlfriends and he wonders what is wrong with him that he keeps getting dumped.
Lexie is a only looking for a good time. When they hook up one night Lexie panics and runs. Hunter goes back to his ex which is a puzzle for me. From the get go they never seem to fit as a couple. I didn't understand why he put up with the drama that Gabby always brought up. He didn't seem the type to always give in and just let her treat him like crap. Over and over again he would just let it slide. I don't know if it was a conscience decision because he didn't want to be alone or what but I was getting fed up with his acceptance of her behavior.
Lexie was afraid of commitment of any kind. A date, future plans or a relationship was not something she could handle unless it was with her girl friends. She kept pushing Hunter away and yet pulling him close when she would see him. I did think the incident at the bar with Gabby just was glossed over. When Hunter called and confronted her, she gave up instantly like she really didn't care she just wanted to start drama.

Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:
A romance that was unexpected between a drummer and a woman that is determined to be better and I have to tell you, this is a stunner of a story! Alexia and Hunter are total opposites but they just..connect BEAUTIFULLY together. The sparks fly, and the passion...oh the passion is SO. Freaking. Hot. I LOVE how incredible the love seemed to blossom with these two! It went from a slow simmer to a roaring boil so fast and it stayed hot, yet incredibly, romantically sweet.
Becca Taylor knows how to weave a romance. She easily and with flare, seem to keep me sighing and in a dream like state long after I finish her book, and Finding Reason...OMG it just is SOOOO much more! I can't even form words how romantic and pretty this story was..it just is all in a feeling I can't describe, and that HARDLY EVER happens to me! Just DAMN!
Finding Reason gets an INCREDIBLY CHARMING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! You want a read that will continue to feed your inner romantic, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!

“I felt like that little girl whose life was being dictated to her.”
*****5 rising above hurt & confusion stars*****
Becca Taylor’s Breaking Free Series has been AMAZING!! It’s best to read in order...Finding Home, Finding Peace, then Finding Reason.
With characters returning from book one; every new addition to the series feels like a reunion of sorts. These characters issues and emotions jump off the pages and smack you in the heart! In Finding Reason, we finally get Hunter and Lexi’s story! A hot alpha male that’s been hurt in the past is only looking for that deep connection to keep him out of the single life. Finding that woman is the first step. Now he needs to make her realize she belongs to him. That’s easier said than done, while her past keeps sneaking into her subconscious. Can he make her see he’s not trying to change her and dictate her life? Or will he push her away in order to protect his heart? Can Hunter and Lexi ‘Find Reason’ to stay together?
I’m curious to see Jeremy and Deanna story in Finding Memories

Hunter and Lexi ...such an explosive, intense couple!
Lexi is a strong, beautiful, independent woman. She knows what she wants and will not settle ot succumb to ordinary or stereotypes.
Our man Hunter has been through his fair share of disastrous relationships. Lexi has never been in a real relationship. When these two finally meet Hunter makes it his mission to show her how good it could be!
I absolutely loved their push and pull for dominance. Hunter soon realizes that he needs to use kid gloves with her to show her his way and the path he would like to take with her!
The relationship road is long, hard and rocky for them but true love is so worth it.

This is Hunter and Lexi's story in the Breaking Free Series.
Hunter is Avery driven man who has dealt with one too many nightmare relationships. Lexi has never been in a relationship. After an explosive night together she totally freaks and bails!!!
It's a long road with these two who have guarded their hearts in their own way!!! It has many ups and downs, but so worth it in the end!! They take their time and build their relationship and find out they be without each other!!! A fantastic story!! Very well written!!! I can't wait to read the next book in this series!!!

I was so excited for Hunters story. I have been a fan of his and knew he would find love, and I knew it would be a wild ride. It was (to me) the most emotional book yet. The characters have a little to overcome but they do it beautifully. Drama, steam, great friends, and good writing had me addicted to yet another book from this author. I do t want to give too much away; but if you have liked the first 2 books in the series then you will love Hunter and Alexia. Can’t wait to continue this awesome series. 4 Stars #2OCCJD

Finding Reason is the third book in the Breaking Free series and it was awesome. It can be read as a standalone, however I would start at the beginning as the characters all entwine in each book. The story was well thought out and I enjoyed it. I adored the characters Hunter and Alexia (Lex). They had great chemistry and fun banter. I love this close group of friends and feel like I personally know them. Great series I can't wait to read Jeremy's story.

I loved this book! Lex, oh Lex, I love this girl. She is a force to be reckoned with. Hunter... yeah, Hunter is what wet dreams are made of. Tall & muscular, with tattoos, a pierced 🍆. He's smart, talented, he cooks, the list goes on and on. Did I mentin the piercing? 🥵
There were times I was almost anxious, trying to figure out how it would play out. You know when you read a book, and you can finally exhale the breath you've been holding? This was that kind of book for me. Loved it.

What a great read! I enjoyed Hunter and Lexi's story. The pull that they both felt for each other. Lexi is determined not to have a relationship but once Hunter is free of annoying (want to slap) Gabby, things change. I loved how they were together and definitely cheered when Lexi stood up to Gabby in the bar. Great book Becca!!

O I LOVE Lexi. She has appeared in the first two books in this series, it was really good to see her get a book too.
Lexi doesn’t want to be tied down, but Hunter raises feeling and emotions she cant control.
Hunter has been hurt before and wants simple and easy, neither of these words apply to Lexi though.
A really great battle of will throughout this story. Loved it.

Hello Hunter. The main character in this story, Hunter, has an unhealthy relationship that he really needs to lose. He's working two jobs, and he's also a drummer. What he needed was someone more like himself in some ways (obviously not in others), but also someone who appreciated him and the romantic he really is under that alpha tough guy exterior. He thought he had it with Lexi but it all came as a huge shock to her and she needed some time. I liked the story, I was rooting for them, and hoping she'd get over her fears and get on with it. Great chemistry between the duo and an interesting story line to go with it.
January 21, 2018
Hunter and Lexi's story is about two people learning to get out of their own way. I loved this story and highly recommend the entire series.
March 20, 2021
Still entertaining
These romances continue to satisfy. The excitement builds until there is a break up and reconciliation. Looking forward to the next in the saga.

Steamy and emotional
A man looking for commitment and a woman who is afraid of it are drawn to each other. How can she overcome her fear?

Finding Reason was by far my favorite of the Breaking Free series. Hunter was every girls' dream, yet he had chosen bad apples in the past until Lexi shows up. She has her reasons for not wanting to rush things or date, but Hunter being a little alpha and extremely hot, she can't and won't resist him.
These two had amazing chemistry. The sex was HOT, the banter between them was great and their undeniable love for one another was off the charts.
LOVED this book to bits! Becca is getting better with each book. Can't wait for the next one.
