Synopsis:
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 dancefloor.
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 book three in this new gritty, contemporary reverse harem academy trilogy for 17+ readers and deals with adult themes and some subjects you may find upsetting.

Review:
After the Collector is dealt with and is no longer a threat, you'd think Pen and her Breakers could find some peace. Even though the obstacle of reconnecting with her Breakers has been overcome there now is a darker and more sinister threat that could rip them apart. Pen's brother is getting more and more demanding with his need for her to betray her Breakers and it is now time to stand up to him. Pen has taken countless beatings from her psychotic brother and weathered the bruises and bloodshed with the support of her Breakers. Now she will fight back. She will fight back with words and with dance the best way she knows how. But will finally breaking the chains her brother has wrapped her in be the end of all who she loves?

The Breakers have finally come clean with what they have been working towards and while they wish Pen wasn't involved she seems to be a part of that world as much as they are. If they have any hopes of bringing down the big baddies including Pen's brother, David, they will have to be stronger than ever before. Pen must find a way to protect her baby sister from the darkness of the world she currently resides in while allowing her to live as normal a life as she can. But her brother has other plans.

The first two books were majorly based around Pen and her Breakers finding their ways back to each other. This third book was a lot more suspenseful plot driven and had cameos from characters from other series in the author's omniverse she's created. I could understand Pen keeping her Breakers out of the loop when she was younger because she was 16 and unable to see any other way out of it. But when she got older and was still trying to handle everything on her own, I wanted to strangle her. She has these four men who are deep into the crime world from illegal MMA, boxing matchs, knife fights, and assassinations and yet you're gonna try to handle it solo? No, no, chickie boo. 

While some parts were frustrating due to Pen's stubbornness I did love this next installment of the Academy of Stardom series.

Breakers will break all the rules and a few hearts along the way.
