Synopsis:
From the gutter to the stars...
Dance is in my blood.
Once upon a time it ran through their veins too. Xeno, York, Zayn, and Dax.
The Breakers and I were a crew until bad decisions and circumstance ripped us apart.
Now the Breakers are back.
And they've brought trouble.
They're not here at the Stardom Academy to dance.
They're here on a mission for Jeb, the leader of the Skins.
He wants something, and me...? I'm just a pawn in their game.
to make matters worse, my psychotic brother wants something too.
I must befriend the Breakers and find out what they're up to.
If I refuse, my brother will hurt the one person I love more than life itself.
I cannot allow that to happen.
Dance was always the cure to our pain, the foundations of our friendship and love.
It brought us together once before.
Can I go through the cycle of friendship, love, and heartache all over again?
Will I survive the Breakers a second time? Will they survive me?
**Lyrical is book two in this new gritty, contemporary reverse harem academy trilogy for 17+ readers and deals with adult themes and some subjects you may find upsetting. If you love dance, your men on the criminals ide, alpha hot holes, and the friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope, this is for you. Contains foul language and sexual scenes and ends on a cliff hanger**

Review:
Pen and her Breakers are back in the next installment of their story. After dancing a dance that encompasses all the pain, heartbreak, and anger she has felt over the years for her Breakers, Pen has managed to save herself from a potentially traumatic situation. And with her dance, she has caused her Breakers to open their eyes a little bit past the pain that has hardened their hearts. But does she want them to come awake from their dormant love for her or does she need to keep them at arm's length to protect the one person who she would give everything up for?
Pen can't fight her feelings for her boys who own slices of her broken heart. When her boys slowly start letting themselves love her again, she is powerless to resist them. All the while her brother is still plotting her demise and making promises she fears he may follow through on. She also has a mad man who has had his interest sparked when he watched her dance her pain to her Breakers. The dance for love and freedom has never been so precarious.
I loved that the first book was more about the pain and heartbreak they all experienced but this one is more about a reconnection of soulmates. Slowly but surely each of Pen's boys start to come around and let go of the past to embrace their love once more. Xeno and Dax are the hardest nuts to crack of course. Xeno finally let someone in and they betrayed him, he can't let it go. Dax was Pen's first kiss and the one she was more connected to so her leaving him ruined him. But between Pen putting her heart into her dances and showing them without words how deeply she feels for them, how can they resist for long?
Lyrical is a story of finding your heart once more when you think it has blackened in shriveled to nothing.
