The Wolf Hotel #2
Break Me
Break Me is Book Two in the highly addictive forbidden romance The Wolf Hotel series
Henry Wolf is a deliciously wicked, sinfully handsome man who has done a very bad thing.
Potentially.
Worse, he owns me now—every inch of my body and a sizeable chunk of my stupid, naïve heart.
And he’s made it clear that if I want to keep my job and stay in Alaska, I’m stuck catering to his every whim and wish—both in the hotel and in his bedroom—while I wait for the potential fiery media circus ring that will no doubt drag my reputation into the gutter along with his, should his past discretions surface.
I will not surrender to his demands, not when I have dirt to hold over his head. IF I have the guts to blackmail him, that is. Something warns me that going through with it will have disastrous consequences for my heart.
Break Me should be read after Tempt Me.

I am SOOO DISSAPOINTED in this book!
I cannot believe it's the same author.
not only does innocent abbi who has feeling for Henry CHEAT on him by being told something by his known to hate him brother but she then runs and jumps on the 1st dick she comes across. you get to read about it in detail. then Henry and her split and she spends almost 80% of the book having an orgy with 2 guy friends WTF!!! and no Henry in sight.
talk about killing the whole romance part of the story.
when Henry does finally come back in the story instead of the alpha we first met he comes across all beta!! saying things like it was his fault and that he hasn't slept with anyone else since her!! doormat!! not because he didn't sleep with anyone but for wanting to take a cheater back!
I loved the first book and am so bitterly dissapointed in this one. author completely ruined this story for me
I loath cheating and h & h being with other people so this definitely didn't work for me.

June 30, 2020No rating. I knew this would be a hot mess. I read it because I had never come across a series where the innocent virgin heroine goes Debbie Does Dallas when the slutty hero breaks up with her. 😂
Note to the safety gang... if you were to cover yourself in raw meat, break into a big cat sanctuary and dance around in front of the biggest lion in sight, you would still be safer than this book.
I feel like I read a dumpster fire.

They should not be together.
They don’t trust each other nor have any type of love for each other, other than wanting to have sex.
Henry was an even bigger asshole but Abbi was also starting to really piss me off. I get that she’s gullible but I didn’t know that gullible and Henry soooooo mean to her and did not even try to comfort her insecurities at all.

From a church-going nice girl to an orgy girl. Nice character development. except the hero wasn't in the orgy. Ooops🤡

Ummm yes please. THIS is what I wanted from this series. Forget Henry. Give me an Abbi who is trying out new things and putting herself out there. I absolutely loved her relationship with the guys she starts working with and how she is trying to explore her own sexuality after Henry treated her like crap. I know her and Henry are end game, but I just do not care for him at all. He plays games with her and isn't up front with her. Sure he was there at the end of this book, but I loved her relationship with every guy she was with in this book wayyy more than her relationship with Henry in book one. I mean, who wouldn't love Ronan and Conner? I'm not sure how I'll like the rest of this series, but I really enjoyed this book!

Reread #2: I have a love-hate relationship with this book.
I don't mean hate in a bad way. I hate that it hurts so much, and I hate that I love it so much while it is actually devastating.
--
Reread #1 - listened on Audible: still in love with Henry Wolf and Ronan.
I adore Ronan-Abbi friendship.
--
Henry Wolf, the man that you are!
This series took me by surprise, a very pleasant surprise. K.A. Tucker made me actually LOVE 2 tropes I usually hate because she wrote them so well! (Inexperienced/virgin and miscommunication tropes)
Tucker certainly knows how to write, and there's no way I will not finish this. I am half in love with almost all of the characters.
➿P.S: I came back for a re-read; that's how good it is! ➿
I suffered a broken heart when reading this, but hey, I finished it in less than 24 hours, so the couple of hours with a broken heart were totally worth it 💔 until the man that is Henry Wolf put it back together, and the sweet Abbi grew and manifested.
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER:
Even though it broke my heart, the breakup was perfect for this trope.
It allowed Abbi to grow and discover, and it ensured that Henry was not a rebound or just the first and only one she tried.
Was Abbi obnoxiously stupid and self-doubtful at times?
Yes, sure. But considering that this is an inexperienced FMC, she is also inexperienced emotionally and was wrecked trust-wise by her ex.
Re-read thoughts: I think the breakup was one of the best things that happened to the Henry-Abbi relationship. He realised his feelings, and she started her "getting to know Abbi - Abbi maturing" journey.
End-thoughts:
K. A. Tucker has made me love every single trope I do not like or hate in this series (virgin, inexperienced, miscommunication, breakup), so this series will be
🏆#1 Contemporary Romance until further notice.🏆

I read this 2 years ago and HATED it! But then I saw that it was free on the audible plus catalog and I thought I would give it another go, since book 5 was recently released. I stand by my original review below, but I did like the audiobook, so I’m bumping my rating up to two stars. I will continue on in the series and hope that it gets better.

⛔️ SPOILERS BELOW ⛔️
Someone has to explain these high ratings to me, because I sure as fuck don’t get it! I have no idea how this series started out as a love story between sweet, little virgin, church mouse Abbi, and her boss, charming, billionaire playboy Henry, but then morphed into Abbi fucking everything that moved!
Book 2 wasn’t even really about Abbi and Henry anymore. They broke up because Abbi saw Henry flirting with a woman, assumed that he was banging her, so she banged another guy to get back at him! Turns out that poor Henry never actually cheated on Abbi. She just let her insecurity and jealousy make her jump to conclusions that weren’t true. After Henry drops the bomb on Abbi that he never cheated on her, and she realizes SHE’S the asshole who cheated, he says “And now there’s no going back. There’s no fixing it.” Yeah Henry! I wholeheartedly agree! There’s no fixing this price of trash, masquerading as a “romance novel”.
This was EVERYTHING that I hate in a book!
❌cheating
❌ OW/OM drama
❌ love triangle (or in this case a love square since Abbi had so many “love interests” vying for her 🐱)
❌ no romance or plot and just sex
PIECE. OF. TRASH. I want my time back! Maybe Abbi somehow comes back from being a cheating asshole, but there is no fixing this series for me. I’m done!

Yeah, not me actually being excited for this 🤡✋.
Please don't mind the rant 🥰.
Never have I seen a storyline decline THAT quickly- I refuse to believe that this was written by the same author who wrote the first book- gurl I'm SO bitter right now.
It just felt like any possible bad thing that could have been added to the story (for me personally) had happened, and I'm genuinely so surprised by how the author managed to do it all in the span of like 50 pages 💀💀- it's actually kind of impressive. Everything from that point onwards in the book just went downhill SO fast ✋.
This story was just so unnecessarily infuriating, I'm so pissed off it's not even funny- what the hell did I just read? This had no right to be that annoying- I'm leaving.
Any semblance of just anything good about the book was just catapulted out of the window- All this story gave me was anxiety, orgies, and cheating 🥰🥰🥰- BYE.
Miss ma'am I'm done with this crap. This was just so genuinely disappointing- I don't want to be dramatic but this just ruined my whole day ✋. I mean at least it was original with how badly it developed?
Never have I been more excited and happy to never have to read a specific book again, and to not have to continue a series- I'm no joke erasing this from my memory.

WTF was THAT?!
This book had my eyes rolling out of their sockets.
Henry stands accused of abuse and rape on the very eve of the hotel’s grand opening with a swarm of media descending on Wolf Cove. His father and brother are also on their way and while Henry stands to lose absolutely everything, Abbi is left reeling from the discovery of the accusations against Henry.
Remember that eye-rolling from before? OK, good. Abbi was at times so frustratingly ridiculous with her naivety and stupidity that I wanted to shove a bunch of condoms down her whiny throat. She was caught up in ignorant assumptions, stubborn misgivings and pretty jealousies while Rome was burning all around her. But you know what? I believe that it was completely intentional and a stroke of genius from the author’s part to convey just how naïve she was and just how far this feckless little girl would go.
When Abbi’s heart is broken, this stops being a romance novel and it becomes the story of a girl finding herself in a world of sexual awakening. More eye-rolling, this time into the back of my head, because Jesus on a dildo this book has some of the hottest sex scenes I have EVER read. The sensory descriptions the author used equalled with the sheer surprise and creativity of these scenes didn’t only have my panties melting, but I’m pretty sure I have third degree burns on my thighs. As erotic as it was surprising, things escalated to the point where I wasn’t even sure that I wanted Abbi and Henry to be together.
So Abbi was naïve and Henry was a jerk. Sometimes authors tend to use the ‘tell’ method when developing characters instead of ‘showing’ character traits through their actions but in this case, the naivety and jerkishness of the characters was utterly believable and very well portrayed without the author ever once having to say that either was naïve or a jerk. These are just traits these characters had and I was completely convinced. Hell, I was even convinced of their conflicts and instead of following the expected route, I was pleasantly surprised at the realistic outcome of the conflicts between these two personalities.
I loved this book. ADORED it. It is a brilliantly written novel that had everything I look for. Apart from a tense plot that kept me guessing, it was also filled with many surprise encounters. Where most romance novels are predictable in that you know there will be a HEA for two characters, this one had me honestly wondering whether there would be one or not, or who I would like it to be with. It was extremely sexy, angsty and above all it had a heroine that went from annoying to a self-assured and confident woman I admired.
BRILLIANT and sophisticated and classy as fuck!! READ IT!

When I picked up the second book in the Wolf Cove series, I wasn’t sure where it was going but I was very intrigued with the hero and heroine. Unfortunately, there are serious twists and turns in this tale, turns that took this story from an erotic romance to more of an erotica series.
This bit’s spoilerish, so look away if that’s not your thing. Otherwise
While it can and does still work to an extent if you enjoy erotica, the romance that brought me to the party is now irrevocably changed. It’s a hard limit for me, and it’s hard for me to get past the way it changed the tone of the whole series for me.
I can't say 3 stars because I didn't like the twists in the story that fundamentally changed the heart of this romance for me. But objectively speaking, the writing wasn’t bad, and I read it very quickly because I just needed to know where it was heading. If you go into the story expecting erotica instead of romance, you may enjoy it more than I did.

This review will have spoilers from Book one!
******
This book almost gave me a book heart attack. I’m giving it 3.5 stars because I hated the drama, but I also loved that it gave me something I’ve never read in a book like this before. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who likes a straight romance, this isn’t it. It’s very open and sexually exploratory.
There is lots of sex between Henry and Abbi since he took her virginity in book one, and it’s mostly filled with angsty confusion. I have a love/hate relationship with books that do this. I really liked how there was discussions about their personal lives, Abbi sharing about her conservative family and the love she has for her father.
Like book one, this one also reads like a college dorm room. There is lots of group sex, MFF, MFM, a MF/MF race to the finish, CHEATING, and a crap done of angst and miscommunication. This book ends with
All of the miscommunication leads to behavior by Abbi that SHOCKED me. (it’s in the spoiler above) Mostly because I don’t think I’ve ever read this in a “romance” book. Despite my shock, I was also kinda impressed with the writing and how it forced me to somewhat accept this new development.

I have difficult tome finishing Break Me. I do put myself and my POV on the eye of the heroine. Young, naive and innocent. 22 years old. I can relate to some of her feeling. Miss West does not make it easy for her readers to like Abby.
I certainly finding Abby difficult to chew with her drama, childish behaviour.
The plot when Abby explores her sexual appettite is not neccessary. I wish Miss West can void this. The writing is bit choppy. The plot does not blend nicely.
Overall, I am not sure if I want to continue woth the next book.
3 stars

Spoilers ahead.
She cheats on him. He says he also cheated on her (but didn’t actually). Then he leaves. Then she has a sort of slow burn thruple. Then her dad almost dies and he flies her home and they reconcile? What?
This book couple has had less page time than every annoying shallow side character. What is happening?

This book flat out turned me the fuck on. It’s the second in the series, so you need to read the first one, but really – it’s worth the investment. This review is going to be hard as hell to not spoilerize, but I’m going to give it my best shot.
Nina teases us with some of the hottest sex scenes I have ever read. This is a no joke, emergency vibrator situation. With the amount of sex that I read I sometimes get a little desensitized to it. It becomes clinical. It loses the shock value. NOT THIS BOOK. I was so built up and full of sexual tension that I grabbed my husband after a very specific truck scene and looked around for the nonexistent third guy that was going to live out this fantasy for me. When he never appeared I decided my husband would have to do. And he most certainly did.
But back to the book. Henry Wolf is a dick. We knew this from book 1, but we’re getting to know this even more in book 2. However, he’s a dick that’s completely infatuated with Abbi Mitchell. He’s under a teensy bit of other stress insomuch that his slimy brother is trying to squeeze the resort, Wolf Cove, from his grasp and an ex-paramour is trying to sue his ass, making false threats of forcible sexual assault. There’s a lot going on.
And Abbi is young. and inexperienced. and naive. and so so ughhhhh STUPID. She interprets events in such a way that make you want to take off your comfy slippers and throw them at her head, hoping the rubber soles knock some sense into her. BUT without her idiocy we wouldn’t get to experience one of The Hottest Threesome Scenes Ever. *picks slippers back up, pats Abbi’s head*
Nina builds the tension in this book masterfully. I actually was questioning whether I even wanted Abbi to get back together with Henry – and that’s HUGE for me. Not because I disliked him, but because goddamnit, I fucking loved everything else about this book. I should note that I usually hate it when the heroine sleeps with or messes around with anyone else even when she and the Hero aren’t together. Welp, throw that requirement out the window. I’m all fucking in when it comes to this series. Nina writes a teasing, sexy and sultry book without being scandalous.
I loved the ending, even though it anticipates a book 3. There’s no huge cliffhanger, which I thanked the Sex Gods for, because the entire book was a goddamn cliffhanger. Be prepared to be addicted. 5 Stars.

4.75 Stars
Cont. Series in DE Buddy Read
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
WARNING!
This series is
ADDICTING
I'm a slow reader.
Normally it would take me close to 3 days to read 300 pages.
I read this in less than 24 hours!
The pace and flow is amazingly fluid and fast.
I did notice a few typos/editing errors but they are few and minor.
I can't believe this story has got me so firmly held in it's grasp.
Abbi! WOW! The changes she has gone through. The things she experienced. Naughty Girl! I love it. You can literally see and feel her mature by the page.
And Henry! Oh My God. I'm in love with him!
Thank God I caved in and bought the bundle. It has bks#1-4 in it. And since I can't stop reading, as soon as I'm done with this review I'm cracking open bk#3.
OH! Let us NOT forget about Ronan! I was going to ignore the novella about him. Until I read this and now I HAVE to get his book too!
Btw, just do all my fellow deviants know
The sex scenes are HOT! And boy are they going to mess with your head!

I don't why but I have a mixed thoughts for this book..Wolf which I thought what he really is suddenly seemed boring to me in the second book.. H was MIA for me.
I really enjoyed the first book but this some how feels disappointing.. albeit Stream in this was 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Let's see were this goes...

Look, I am really glad this storyline went there and actually seemed to break the mold of what you’d expect from the kind of drama that plays out in this book. I had so much fun with it and enjoyed it even more than the first.

3 Revel Stars ⭐
Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
So this book literally starts exactly at the end of Tempt Me. And to say that it ensnared my attention is an understatement as I stayed up until 3 a.m. reading when I had a 6 a.m. wake-up...and your girl is known for being able to stop mid-chapter...
This was both surprising, but also incredibly annoying. Enjoyable but also has moments of wtf did I just read???
I just wanted to inhale this debauchery into my mind because BOY was it enjoyable reading the drama llama that was unfurling in front of me. This feels like taking amalgamation of Gossip Girl meets Hart of Dixie. You've got relationship drama, normal drama, angst and people screwing around. You've also got little Miss Innocent who's learning not to be so innocent anymore...
We also have two OF MY favourite tropes of all time misunderstandings and assumptions led by miscommunication. please pick up on the sarcasm. All of these are coupled with voyeur Abbi who is insecure, trusting of the wrong people, and very childish at times. She really follows the BAD ADVICE of "don't get mad, get even" a little too well.
She definitely changes as a person and broadens her sexual horizons. If you had asked me at the start of book 1 if I was expecting multiple sex partners and throuples...I would have looked at you funny... BUT GUESS WHAT YOU GET?????
I like Henry, he is a man of very few words, very experienced, doesn't have time for drama and although an asshole at times if you ask him a straight question...he will give you a truthful answer.
The WRITING in this needs work - and that is what frustrated me. I was not looking away because I was eating the metaphorical popcorn of the plot and drama as fast as I could down my mouth... but MY GOSH I now REVEL in my hatred of the word REVEL.....
Revel appears 19 times in this book...
some examples
• I revel in the feel of his sinewy muscles
• and I revel in his whispered words
• revelling in the feel of his hot breath.
• I revel in it, fisting his wavy hair as his tongue...
• revelling in how safe and comfortable they feel
• revel in the feel of him pulsing inside me,
• revel in the feeling of being joined.
• revel in his talented mouth
Revel, revel, revel, revel, REVEL... THE TRIGGER I FEEL WHEN I SEE THE WORD!!!!!
Overall, I have been highly entertained by this incredibly predictable cookie-cutter story. But I'm not complaining because I'm loving it.
If billionaire romances are your thing, then this is definitely something that I would recommend because it's just all that drama and everybody loves drama.

It managed to be worse than the first one, so yes, I'm a little disappointed.
I'm all for sexual liberation, I've been here with a religious family, I know how it can be. But, that's so freaking fast. She went from virgin to queen of bjs & quickies to threesomes (and never forget, she loves watching). I'm not saying it's unrealistic but she went 0 to 100 on being sexual and very verbal about it, just sometimes blushing but that's all. With 4/5 books, I kinda expected to be... slower? Again, no shaming, but she was saving herself for marriage, she had 0 experience, she was shy as fuck to the point of being too innocent to just... being horny all the time.
I just hate how she's so insecure (that, I can understand a little) but at the same time, she makes no efforts in not being stupid. It's like, she heard the MMC saying she was a stupid little naïve girl, and she was like, let's go, let's make that my personality. She was SO frustrating.
I thought I hated the MMC in book one but I think I'm a little more okay with him (not totally but him being out of the picture clearly helped his case 'cuz I was just being annoyed by the FMC and her awful decisions. I'm not saying he's a good MMC. He kept wanting to be truthful with her but at the same time, he was shady as fuck. And I understand, he's a CEO, he doesn't have time to take care of her, but how is a miscommunication taking less time than explaining his side of the story to her when she's insecure?
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE CHEATING THING. I'm so mad. I hope the FMC is/was beaten to death by the safety gang. It's not okay just because that was the FMC who cheated and not the MMC. I hate how it brushes it off like she made a small mistake. No, just no. She better grovels, or I'm going to lose my shit.
Also, everybody is fucking, it's like being in a college dorm in one of Elle Kennedy's book.
I'll read book 3 and 4 because that's easy to read, quick, and I have nothing else to read. I'm not expecting much but, I do expect some growth from the FMC and a healthiest relationship between the MCs.

I could not wait to get to this second book and let me tell you, the first half of it was C.R.A.Z.Y. Soooo much drama llama, so many absolutely insane things happening in the shortest time.
But if we think about the fact that Abbi was 21 years old and just spent her first month away from the cheating ex and even farther away from her delusional stupid mother, she did well.
I skimmed a lot... but once over that hill of the crazy first part, the second one was amazing! I won't tell you anything, you should really just jump into it yourself but let me tell you, I believed every moment and loved every minute.
It was such a fabulous tale of sexual awakening, of finding one's own footing, and just a wonderful story of a young woman growing up.
Book 1
Book 3
Book 4

This series is so addicting I’ve officially abandoned all of my other started books & tbr for this series
not-going-to-do-it
July 30, 2024I was enjoying the book and the heroine had to go and do that!!! Ugh!! I just can’t continue. I lost all connection.
The author ruined the series by having the heroine do those things.
This was a disappointment.

We need to start off this review with saying… this is the CONTINUATION of Henry and Abbi’s story, I REPEAT this is the continuation of Henry and Abbi’s story, which means you NEED to read Tempt Me first! Ok now that we got that out of the way, let’s get into the review.
I straight DEVOURED this book in less than 12 hours. That’s it. No notes. I’m thoroughly invested in this toxic forbidden love affair.
This book was a rollercoaster of emotions. The first book left off on a cliffhanger and Break Me starts where Tempt Me left off. So what are my thoughts:
1. The miscommunication is on par for Henry and Abbi’s relationship. I would expect anything less.
2. We kept with the toxicity. I loved it. Ate it up.
3. Henry said so unforgivable things but let’s face it, I forgave his hot AF ass in the end. What he did for her at the end of book made me swoon. But I’m sure he will fuck it at some point.
4. I loved Abbi’s attempted growth in this book. She said so long to the naive, innocent farm girl from nowheresville Pennsylvania. This girl not only attempted to heal after heartbreak and try to regain trust but she also explored into every depth of who she is flourishing into.
5. I loved how she decided to say fuck it and explore her sexuality. I mean going from a virgin to a threesome with Connor and Ronan is the growth we like to see! You get it girl!
6. And lastly, I loved her relationship with Ronan and Connor. Yes they wanted to fuck her. But she had a special connection with Ronan.
Ok I’m diving into book three Teach Me! Wish me luck on this toxic rollercoaster! Can’t wait to see what hurdles stand in their way now lol
