Break You by Jennifer Snyder
Publication date: November 8th 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Synopsis:
Blaire Hayes enjoys a quiet life, spending her days as a CNA at the local nursing home and nights studying for exams. She prefers things to be as uncomplicated as possible — but when her friends drag her to a party and she bumps into her high school crush, the path of Blaire’s life veers in an entirely different direction than what she had planned for herself.
Jason Bryant created a nice life away from his hometown, putting distance between himself and the suffocating sadness of his father’s death. But when he finds out his grandfather’s health is deteriorating, he decides he must return home. Partying was not on his agenda while in town, but it’s how he bumps into Blaire Hayes—the girl he’d always thought of in high school as an unobtainable pass.
Together the two learn there are moments in life that hold within them all the power to break you…
(New Adult: Contains sexual situations, language, mature themes, and alcohol usage.)

Name Your Favorite Rainy Day Contemporary
Read and Tell Why…
The Book of Luke by Jenny O’Connell. Hands
down.
If I’m going to be stuck sitting inside all
day while it rains cats and dogs outside, then I at least have to read
something funny, witty, and light. That book has it all. The Guy Guide Tips at
the beginning of every chapter had me rolling!
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard while reading in my entire life!
Here’s a good one taken from the top of
chapter six:
“Do not blame my tone of voice, my lack of
patience, or my bad mood on PMS. It’s not my period that’s my problem. More
likely, it’s you.”
There are SO many more funny ones
throughout the book! Seriously, The Guy Guide Tips were a huge plus to the
story and I’m so glad the author decided to add them in the way that she did.
If you haven’t read The Book of Luke, you should definitely check it out!

EXCERPT:
The bartender came over with another Long
Island for me. Jason handed him a crisp bill from in his wallet. I took a sip
and watched as he lifted his ass up and tucked the wallet back into his back
pocket.
“Don’t worry about it,” I said, forcing my
eyes away from the muscles I could see shifting and flexing in his forearm
while he played with the cap from his beer. “I was a little embarrassed, but
only because what you said is true. I’m fine now.”
I wanted to smack myself. Why the hell did
I just flat-out admit that to him? What I’d said before had been enough; there
was no reason for me to add to it. Heat crept along my neck. I’d look like I
was having an allergic reaction in a matter of seconds. Great.
“Maybe this will lift your embarrassment
some: it’s been a while for me, too,” he said.
This new knowledge he’d openly offered
floored me. His eyes locked with mine as he brought his beer to his perfect
lips for a swig. I watched as his Adam’s apple bobbed from the action.
“Why?” The question formed in my head, but
I had no intentions of actually saying it aloud, and most definitely not in
such a dumbfounded tone. Rich laughter rumbled through his chest and his head
tipped back in the process. A grin twisted at my lips, one I couldn’t suppress
no matter how hard I tried. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. It’s not my
place.” I forced my eyes to look anywhere except at him as I shook my head.
“No, it’s okay,” he said, containing
himself. “I just can’t get over how shocked you seem by my confession.”
I took a sip of my drink. “You just don’t
seem like the type to have any dry spells. If I remember correctly, you didn’t
have that problem in high school either, and I can’t imagine it forming in
college of all places.”
Hadn’t meant to say that one aloud either.
What the hell was in this drink, a loose lips amplifier?
“People change,” he said. “You did.”
“How so?”
“You’ve gotten more beautiful, for
starters.”
His words made my stomach flutter and my
heart pound. That was most definitely a line…but I liked it. Jason straightened
his back and downed the rest of his beer. Banging the empty bottle against the
bar as he set it back down, he stood and held out a hand to me.
