Genre: Romance - Suspense, action Stand-Alone: Yes, but better with Follow Me (book 1) Part of a Series: Yes Book 2 of 3 planned for the Corrupted Hearts Series POV: Mostly China's Steam Level: Toasty at times 5/5 I love China Mack!!! In book 2 of the Corrupted Hearts Series we see China in her role of bosslady at Vigilance with Clark as her partner/protector. With his and Jackson's help China's (reluctantly) coming out of her shell and pushing the limits of her OCD. In Break Me things go nuts! And the cameo was to die for! Break Me proves again why Tiffany Snow is my favorite author. The story and tension that is weaved throughout this book is spectacular. Each book gets better and better with more and more layers added. If I gush anymore I'll give stuff away which I don't want to do. All i have to say is READ THIS BOOK!!! Tiffany Snow is an amazing author and China Mack is quickly becoming one of my favorites. If you're looking for a new author, new romantic suspense Tiffany Snow and China Mack are you girls. |
Having enjoyed the first book in this series I was looking forward to seeing what the author would bring in this one. China is back and still as naive as ever in many ways. She believes that her life is going to continue exactly the same as it always did, regardless of the fact she is now dating Jackson. Clark remains a huge part in her life and this leads to a lot of awkward situations. China's life will never be the same, and in this book the author puts her through the ringer. The ending suggests a lot more to come and I can't wait to find out what the author does with the characters next. Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy. |
China Mack is one cool geeky chick and she doesn't care she is what she is and no one will change her. She has a super secret job and that can cause problems for her. She falls into a mess of trouble in this case and not only does it affect her but her partner and current boyfriend. I was on the edge of my seat and wanted the best for her. You will be pulled through many emotions. There is a love triangle going on as well. Watching her out of her element is an experience in itself. ** I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest revie |
Another surprised, thrilling, sexy, action-packed, hypnotic romance by Tiffany Snow! Break Me is the second book in the Corrupted Hearts story and is a true masterpiece. As addicting as Chocolate, this story had me so on edge it was like cliff diving without a parachute! I got the high of the adrenaline rush and I CRAVED the sensations. There were many twists and turns that only Miss Snow can bring and I loved every one of them! I can't get enough of China! This is one of those books that will have you on the edge the whole time your reading it, but you will LOVE the thrill of it because you just never know whats going to go down. I freaking LOVE Tiffany Snow's writing! Her books get better, hotter, more suspenseful with each new story and I certainly can't get enough. A MUST HAVE BOOK! |
All Is Fair In Love and Cyber War . . . So happy that China Mack is back and that more is obviously to follow! This second novel in the Corrupted Hearts series is just as amazing as the first maybe better with point of view changes and guest appearances from The Kathleen Turner series. Tiffany Snow has given me a female heroine whom I relate to on so many levels that I almost feel normal reading about China's issue until she endures hacking, espionage and problems dealing with two hot men. Finally adjusting to the notion that her controlled-routine life is no longer an option thanks to people now actively in her life, China is now faced with trying to balance a social life and super secret work life. Dating one of Forbes hottest bachelors should be an females dream, but China is barely used to social norms and to be quickly thrust into celebrity status was something she hadn't calculated in dating the Jackson Cooper. So when her position as the head of operations for the President's off the records department of cyber intelligence code name Vigilance is compromised, China begins to take matters into her own hands and starts relying on the dangerous and handsome Clark Slattery. It's not till Jackson and Cysnet are threatened with actions of treason that China finds herself having to decide whom to trust and who is the enemy when it comes to politics, espionage, love and cyber war. Overall, great sequel! Absolutely love China and wish we could be awkward BFFs!! The dialogue Tiffany writes for this series is super chill, I know that's not very descriptive, but China as a brainiac is truly simple to understand. Her black is black and white is white, it's those in her life that bring complications. Jackson is a great guy for China in being similar minded, but I'm really pulling for Clark. I don't know why but I'm always rooting for the side guy in Tiffany's books. Besides all the relational business, I loved how much China was pushed out of her comfort zone. Honestly, no one likes to be out of sync but it's how you respond and adapt that makes or breaks you. Oh and last two points: 1) love the change up in character perspective mid novel which gave a fuller picture to the story through the eyes of the guys and 2) fans of Blane Kirk will be thoroughly pleased with what Tiffany drops in this novel. So if you were a fan of "Follow Me" then you'll definitely devour this book and want more of Ms. Mack. |
Break Me is the second book in the Corrupted Hearts series, and things are definitely heating up. With the unique storyline, complex characters that are humorous and somewhat quirky, mystery, suspense, intense situations, danger, and intriguing twists, this page turner will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Another fantastic book by Snow, and a great addition to this outstanding new series! I have really enjoyed this series, and I'm looking forward to reading more. China Mack is definitely not your typical heroine, which makes her much more interesting, at least to me. I love her quirky personality, that she's a genius when it comes to intellectual things, but when it comes to everything else, she's naive, shy, and almost child like. This book shows less of her quirky tendencies than was seen in book #1, but after everything she's been through, it's obvious that everything in her life has and will continue to change. I like both Clark and Jackson, and I know who I would like to see her with, but it's obvious that the story is going to lead in a different direction. I just hope that both will continue to be included in the future. This book showed a lot more of how both men felt about her, and as much as I don't like love triangles, it seems to happen briefly. We'll have to wait to see what happens next between them. If you haven't read this series, I suggest that you start from the beginning. Not only will you get to read amazing stories, but learn more about China, her family and friends, co-workers, and all the new changes coming to her life. You won't be disappointed! I strongly recommend this book, series, and fantastic author! I have voluntarily reviewed this arc I received from the publisher via NetGalley. |
This is the second book in the series. This story has lots of excitement, surprises and plenty of twists and turns. Fantastic characters you will connect with from the start. This author has a fab way of bringing you suspense filled stories every time. I cant wait to read more. from this author in the future. Highly recommended I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. |
Happy dance!!! Happy dance!!! Happy dance!!! If you are picturing a huge grin and lots of crazy booty shaking, you are right on target. Hmmmm...how to describe this without giving everything away.....I will start by saying if you are a die hard Kathleen Turner fan, you really don't want to miss this series, as in you seriously would regret not reading this book. This is the happiest I've been about a book since that series. To keep from spoiling anything, I will just say that a couple of very well beloved characters play a vital role in this book. No matter which one you liked better, you will be happy. So, I really liked book one of Corrupted Hearts, but book two was solidly in the absolutely loved category. Tiffany Snow, you are the master of the triangle! This book finds China Mack dating Jackson, working with Clark, and right in the middle of an international mess. The more I read of China, the more I like her. Her OCD quirks are completely endearing as is her absolute honesty. At the end of the last book, I was team Jackson, but now I find myself torn. I know Jackson loves China, but I think Clark does too. I think I'm leaning more team Clark. As for action and suspense, this book had it in spades. I truly couldn't put it down. My mind is blown and I can't wait for the next book. Write fast, Ms. Snow! I am so thrilled that I received an ARC from Net Galley for honest (and very excited)review. |
China Mack is back and settled into her new role working alongside Clark Slattery. Her romance with Jackson Cooper is still going strong, although it soon becomes clear the love-birds are not on the same page when it comes to committing to their relationship. Thankfully for me, the reading experience of this second book in the Corrupted Hearts series was pleasurable this time around however, fans of China in the first book may feel disappointment because her OCD tendencies have faded to a greater degree. The socially awkward IT genius is a more assured young woman as her role shifts to a more covert one. The deviation in China's personality trait is replaced with even more references to fandoms, which went over my head. I'm not interested in Star Wars or any sci-fi films so numerous mentions about China's cherished Stars Wars pyjamas was over the top! The strength of this novel is the imaginative narrative, it's on-point with the current political feelings. Ms Snow has always written suspense incredibly well and I wish the romance aspect matched the same intensity. China and Jackson's romance is luke warm at best and Clark is in the background pretending he doesn't like his line manager (China). Therefore I'm grateful for the fast pace when the suspense is the main focus. The writing switched between first and third person which was a surprise, and a little confusing sometimes until I got used to the format. I'll admit the biggest motivation to read Break Me was the inclusion of characters from the first series Ms Snow wrote. With rumours flying about a hint of a Happy Ever After for the one 'unlucky in love,' the temptation was too great an opportunity to miss. Knowing this, I dived into this novel reading the final chapter first, something I've haven't done before. Afterwards, I felt decidedly underwhelmed with regards to the cameo appearances. However, this was a hasty opinion because you need to read the full novel to gain a clearer impression of their inclusion within this plot-line. Duh!!! (face palm). If you are paying attention, you'll spot them much earlier (wink). The sequence of events within The Corrupted Hearts series reminds me of this series too, although, only those who have read those books gazillion times would pick up on it...maybe! The comparisons are subtle, but are there, leading me to speculate the route China's heart will take her. To sum up, I'll be back for book three and sincerely hope Ms Snow delivers up the unexpected in the finale...something she's done before and is more than capable of doing again; If only to prove me wrong about how I see this series playing out. 3 stars ***arc generously received courtesy of Montlake Romance via NetGalley*** |

This book has passion, humor and heart-pounding suspense ala Tiffany Snow style. It is the 2nd book in the Corrupted Hearts series and features China Mack as the heroine, who is an OCD genius geek with 2 hot men as romantic interests; tech genius billionaire Jackson and ex military/CIA Clark with the blue eyes of 'Superman Clark Kent' fame. Pace of book is fast and some characters of her older books made guest appearances, which made the book even more fun. Highly recommended! |
I liked reading the first book in the series. If you haven’t read it you must. I enjoyed China and Jackson together. There is also China’s relationship with Clark. Clark opens up more to China in this book. I think China brings out a softer side of Clark. I enjoyed China figuring out the what her relationship means with each of the guys. Lots of adventure in the book. Can’t wait for the next book! Also liked the there were other characters from another series from Tiffany Snow. (PS. I know who I want China together with in the end of the series.) I received a review copy of this title courtesy fro the publisher via NetGalley for a honest review. |
Landing a new job that appeals to you is a dream for anyone. For China Mack - the new set up has her working with Clark. Both trying to take on a job that protects the US from some serious cyber threats. The close proximity between Clark and China has the technology guru wondering where Clark fits into her life at times. Even though China is still in a relationship with Jackson, her work takes a major piece of her time. Threats still linger from the Vigilance project, making China wonder if letting Jackson ‘in the loop’ will keep her out of harms way. Jackson is facing his own set of problems, and knows there is only one person he would turn to for help. The only problem is China now has an ‘add on’ in the shape of Clark. The suspense surrounding the characters kicks up a notch and the plot thickens. Where will this triad come out in the end? Only time will tell, and knowing Tiffany Snow it will be a sexy and sinful ride. One thing is certain, none of the characters will take a walk on the easy side to find their ‘happily ever after’. I can’t wait to see where China, Jackson, and Clark are headed next. Break Me is the second installment in the Corrupted Hearts series. One filled with all kinds of secrets and tech filled activities. Some of it becomes a bit overwhelming in the grand scheme of things, but the way that China completely changed in this book threw me for a bit. Don’t get me wrong….I still enjoyed the story. China just seemed to take on a new persona in the second book. An extreme departure from the quirky and socially awkward gal we came to love in the first book. As always, Tiffany Snow knows how to write a love triangle!! I am looking forward to a little more ‘push and pull’ in the next book to spice it up even more. Fans of Snow’s previous series will get a little ‘treat’ in this book. A homage to a couple of past favorites that have not been forgotten. All in all - another great series in the Snow empire. |

Book 2 in the Corrupted Hearts series, and the action, danger and romance all go up another amazing notch in this book. I still adore the character of China and and i like how the pull is still as strong between herself and the two characters of Clark and Jackson. Not once did i get bored reading this story, it just flows so well,and next thing you know while reading i was like damn it i need to stop for refreshments to keep going. As usual Tiffany Snow throws many surprises into the mix,and we all know she like to keep us hooked, and i myself am so exictied for the third book in this series, which dare i say may overtake the Kathleen Turner series as my fave review is on goodreads under the name Kimothy |

My all time favorite tv show is Bones. China reminds me of a Temperance Brennan except with espionage . This book is full of twists and turns and and laugh out loud moments. I enjoyed watching China attempt to navigate romantic innuendos and the world in general. I find China and her world fascinating and can't wait for more of her escapades and hopefully more Kade . |

3.25 stars No-one else does a love triangle as well as Tiffany Snow, with her Kathleen Turner series deeply polarising ships. In her new trilogy of which this is the second installment the triangle hasn't come into much focus yet. The hero of the story is 'China' who has just started a top-secret high security job which she can't share with her ex-boss and new boyfriend Jackson. Without giving away much of the plot but to say foreign enemies, mystery, danger and kidnapping come into the mix, the biggest draw of this book would be the appearances of two fan favourite characters from her Kathleen Turner series. In all honesty, if I hadn't read the Katheen Turner series by this author I would have rated this higher but for me this book pales in comparison because both the male characters aren't fleshed out, to have me rooting for them. Jackson comes across as needy and controlling while whatever hints have been dropped about Clarke don't make me as interested in him either. I also fee Tiffany needs to move away from her old series and old characters, there is too much emphasis on them that takes away from this series. So far China does come across as naive when it comes to relationships and I don't see her invested in Jackson or Clarke for that matter. For fans of Tiffany, the book is good but it isn't at the same level as her Kathleen Turner series. |
If you have known me for any amount of time you know my fondness for all things Tiffany Snow... and she has once again rocked my freaking world with book!! So much happens in this book and I'm going to do my best to tell you how it made me feel without giving things away! China Mack is still as brilliant and quirky as she was in first novel, but you really get more in tune with her throughout this novel. I love the way that Clark describes her, "A walking contradiction." You got to see a different side of both Jackson and Clark in this one and you will fall in love with not one but two men in the only way that Tiffany can make you. You will also get to meet some of your favorites from Tiffany's other series and you love them just as fierce as you have before! I serioulsy want to give Tiffany a huge after reading this one and it's going to leave you satisfied and content for now but still have you yearning for more. I need the next book... like ASAP! If I had China's hacker skills I would use them to read her current manuscript. You want to talk about all the feels?? Yep. All of them are going to run through you while you are reading this and you want to peal your eyes away because you don't know what will happen when you put it down. You will be on the edge of your seat throughout you will love, you hate you will be annoyed you will be terrified you be sick you will swoon, you will laugh you will cry... name an emotion... I bet you feel it while reading this book! Don't waste time on this... BUY IT NOW. |
4.5 Geeky Stars! I love a book with a quirky character and China fits that bill to a T. Usually it's the Hero's in the books that keep me invested, but in this series it's China. The author did such a good job of making her geekiness and her interactions with other characters, adorable and funny. I have been very entertained in both book 1 and 2 of this series. I hope there is plans of more. If you aren't a fan of series, the author ends both books in a way that would give you closure. I would recommend reading book 1 before 2, however. You could pick this up as a standalone but you would be more invested in the characters if you got their beginning. Book 2 basically starts right where book 1 ended. Everything I loved in the first book continues on into this book. In book 1 we had a bit of a love triangle going on and normally I'm not a fan of that. There was just something about the author's writing that it didn't bother me like it usually would. I was more invested in China's shenanigans than I was invested in the romance aspect of the book. I liked both Clark and Jackson so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with who China chooses. Once she did choose Jackson, I was a bit disappointed to see Clark and China's attraction linger into book 2. You do see a conclusion to this and I never felt it over stepped so it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book. Seeing Clark truly care for China actually made him a more likable character. It's part of the reason I would like to see more in this series and see Clark get his own love interest. Overall, this was a fun and entertaining book. ARC provided by NetGalley. |
Excellent Tiffany Snow!!!! I can’t say enough how much I loved “Break Me”. This book picks up where the last one ends. I was hooked from the beginning. There are 2 very different, but both extremely sexy men, Jackson and Clark #IWillNotPickASide. Then there’s China Mack, I adore her, she’s not your normal leading lady. She’s a genius, awkward, and get caught up in a much different world than she’s used to. Tiffany brought back even more action, suspense and romance with this book. In true Tiffany fashion, she makes you feel like you are in the story. Every detail can be pictured in your head. One minute I would be laughing and the next I’d be holding my breath, and making sure my feet were under the covers (you know, so the bad guys don’t get me). Then there’s the twist and turns I did not see coming. This book is so well written. My first thought when I finished this book was ‘WOW that was just awesome!” I can’t wait for the book 3 to see what will happen next. Break Me is a sensational follow up from Follow Me. This is a must read!! #5wineglasses |
This was a good sequel to the Corrupted Hearts series. I very much enjoyed where the story line went, and the characters grew on me more in this second installment. The story fits in perfect with the real-life issues happening in the USA right now regarding spying and illegal surveillance from foreign governments. The technology is kind of scary actually. Of course it had a Tiffany Snow spin on it by incorporating a mixture of her style of suspense and a romance. I would have liked to have seen a little more heart squeezing tension between the characters. I always enjoy the way Tiffany writes love triangles, so stronger angst wouldn’t be opposed. This entire book was entertaining and kept me flipping those pages on the kindle app. However, my favorite was the last few chapters. Always a fun surprise and can’t get enough. |
Reviews by the Wicked Reads Review Team Veronica – ☆☆☆☆☆ China has gone from working for her tech billionaire boyfriend, Jackson, to heading a secret government agency with Clarke as her partner. China is keeping her new job from Jackson and he isn't happy when he discovers she is working with Clarke. As the story began, I couldn't help thinking Jackson is a little too good to be true and his behaviour early on didn't help. As the story unfolded, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be proven right or wrong about Jackson. Trying to do the right things, China repeatedly ends up in danger. Espionage and lots of action had my heart pumping as I devoured every page. Action on the romance front is tangled in the story too. Break Me is a fantastic book and topped off with a brilliant last chapter I did not see coming. I loved it. I'm so excited to read more of this series. I hope the wait isn't too long. |
