Resumen del Editor

From the gutter to the stars...dance brought us back together.

Our pain and hurt bled out with every movement, with every step across the dance floor. The Breakers never expected to love me again and I never believed we could get past our pain. Yet here we are. My Breakers are mine once more.

But nothing is ever that simple when it comes to us. True happiness only comes when you’re free. Free to love. Free to dance. Free to live.

But that kind of freedom comes at a high price.

The Breakers are still members of the Skins. Jeb is still their leader. David is still a psychopath, and now there are new enemies to contend with. Dance might have brought us back together, but it’s going to take more than a beautiful routine to keep us all alive. It’s time for the Breakers to own up to their truth, just like I did. It’s time for the Breakers to live up to their name. It’s time for the Breakers to start breaking things.

Breakers is is book three of Academy of Stardom, a gritty, contemporary reverse-harem romance. If you love dance, your men on the criminal side, hot alpha-holes, and the friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope, this is for you. Contains mature themes and ends on a cliff-hanger.

Breakers

Breakers is book 3 of Academy of Stardom. This story follows Pen and her Breakers as they continue in their story as they work through the challanges their lives have lead them to. While attending the Dance academy and working at Tales Pen and the Breakers interact with some well known faces from their shared world as we see their story progress. I really enjoy getting to see all the other characters pop in and out of each other's stories in this shared world. Some have more interactions then others but it is so much fun to see little snippets of how the others are moving forward as they work with Pen and the guys. In this story we get to see the break down of walls the guys have constructed as well as some big moves for the storyline as well. I am excited to jump straight into the next book!!

Love getting lost in this world!

Breakers is book 3 of this amazing series and do an audiobook listen leading up to book 5’s release has made me fall for these characters all over again and I am going to be so emotional when we close the door on their story and lives (hopefully just for now!). We finally get the resolutions we had been waiting for, the walls come down even more, the steam is turned up a notch and more characters from the shared world make an appearance (love the Easter eggs and spinoff series coming from this one!). I loved every second of this book. Lyrical and Breakers are seriously tied for my favorites out of the 4 (and a lot of her other series’ - I mean Grim and Beast still are at the top though haha. So many laughs).

Ok back to the review. Now I can’t get into too much what I loved because I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, but we finally get all the guys officially on board with being back together with Pen. Xeno lets some things come out that he had wanted to keep to himself and he finally makes that step to allowing himself to love Tiny and her to love him back, despite how he thinks he doesnt deserve it. Pen has to cope with the aftermath at Tales, and the hits just don’t stop coming with many sides for the Breakers. The ending of this book was WILD and so many twists. So epic.

The steam and romance was so much fun in this one. The Magic Mike moment *fans myself*, the way someone has been taking care of Lena made me swoon so hard, and helped get the family on track, the adorableness of Grim and her news and loving seeing her and Pen’s budding friendship that become sisterhood. I loved seeing Hudson again, and the nickname they gave him hahaha. This author does a good job bringing levity into some hard topics and books and I loved that we got that with how York always acts, but them being silly together, the joking with Beast, etc. I couldnt pick a favorite of the Breakers, they all upped the ante and made me love them all, hook line and sinker!

Narration was good again. Nothing more to say, same small criticisms but the emotion in this one was more intense than the others. With the different baddies and the aftermath of their chaos and destruction, the confrontation with new characters, the deaths, etc. So an emotional rollercoaster, but the narrators did a fab job bringing the characters to life in my head while I listened, I felt like I was in the studio, their home, Pen’s old family home, the bar, etc. The narration just helped prove this could be an incredible TV show and how the readers would eat every word up haha.

If you havent read this series yet, you are doing yourself a disservice. I didnt want to stop listening but real world life just got in the way!

A steamy angsty RH full of dance

I absolutely love this series. I have the books. And this series was the first audiobook I listened to.
I enjoyed listening to Kylie Stewart! She takes Bea's words and breathes them to life, and finally gives us Pen's voice. She did an amazing job. I didn't quite like Joel Froomkin for the men. I don't like that Joel did al four of them. And they are so young and he made them sound so old. But overal it was a very good audio.

This book is really good, and I can't wait to see

This book is really good, and I can't wait to see what happens next in their story and I can't wait to see what they do to stop her brother.

Male narrator is too much

I have a really hard time listening to the male narrator. He tends to sound a lot older than the guys portrayed in the book and tends to be a little too intense. Everything is read with urgency and huffing and puffing about. But the story is very good.
