Wow!  You know when you start reading a book and it just grabs you from the get-go?  Well, that was Break Me.  This was a fast paced, action packed read featuring a nerdy heroine.  I love China Mack and all her quirks!  Please do yourself a favour and read book one first (I didn't and regret it but I'm going to read it ASAP).  I can't wait for book three!  Thanks to Net Galley and Montlake Romance for the ARC!

These are my Happily Ever After Novel Thoughts...

OMG!!!! This is at least an 8 star read!!! I absolutely loved this book and the depth of the characters. I don't want to inundate you with exclamation points, but you need to understand how flipping awesome this book is!!!!

China has stepped up her game professionally and socially/personally. She is forced way outside her comfort zone and she has no clue if it's going to break her or fulfill her life. 
She and Jackson are getting closer but she works side by side with Clark. Is there a triangle in the making or will everyone be able to continue the status quo?

This book will have you on the edge of your seat. You won't know what's going on or coming up. It's a long read but exciting throughout. There is so much stuff going on in this story, there's no time to be bored. Your emotions will be on a roller coaster as well. This is the book to really understand China and connect with her. You will also see more femininity and emotion from her. Jackson and Clark both show a different side of themselves. They show their vulnerabilities and feel more human, more likeable/loveable. I have to say, I may have a small crush on Clark. 

Enough of my ramblings. Get the book for yourself and find a Happily Ever After!!

China is a techno geek who is in charge of a super secret government organization.  She has been dating Jackson a few months and works with Clark.  They both have feeling for her and she is conflicted because she is lacking in social skills and how to read people.  She gets kidnapped by a man named Lu to duplicate his computer system to the system that Jackson developed.  Jackson and Clark go rescue her and all is well until Clark says he's resigning.  china doesn't understand until Clark kisses her while Jackson is waiting at home for her.  I really hope there is another book coming out to continue the story.

I think China Mack may be my favorite character ever.  Tiffany Snow has crafted a character that has an endearing amount of quirkiness, brilliance, honesty, and loyalty.  

In book 2, there is a little Middle Child synrome.  There isn't as much suspense as in the first book.  There are dark things happening in Jackson's world.  Clark's background infringes on his ability to do what he needs to do with China.  We get to see that China's fellow workers respect her and we see her in a bit of a leadership role.  But all - in - all, there is no real step forward in the plot from book 1. Unless, of course, you count the last chapter, but that didn't surprise me. 

I am worried that Ms. Snow may be stuck in a love triangle habit.  Hopefully she will resist replaying the same triangle featured in two other series.  Since China is so orginal, I want this series to be completely original, too.  If one man is to be preferred over the other, in whatever book of the series that should be, I hope that we don't have all of the angst to go along with it.  China is not an angsty person!  

I want to see depth of emotion from China.  She loves her niece but we don't see any true sadness that she may stop living with China, I don't think she loves Jackson, and I'm not sure how she feels about Clark.  I'm not even sure that we've seen real fear from her in this book.  Hopefully in book 3 we will see that not only is she a quirky, brilliant, honest, and loyal person, but one who is capable of deep feeling. 

So with all this, why the 5 star rating?  Because Break Me was the book I couldn't put down.  Five stars doesn't mean it's perfect, it means it is a book that the reader will enjoy from cover to cover and will stay up all night to read it.

For my friends and people who follow my reviews, it shouldn’t come as surprise that I am a HUGE Tiffany Snow fan.  She is one of those authors that I automatically one-click without even finding out what the book is about – I just know without a doubt that it is going to be astounding.  Ms. Snow’s latest release Break Me was everything I knew it would be plus so much more!  This reader was not disappointed – at all.

Break Me is the second installment of the Corrupted Hearts series by Tiffany Snow and like her previous novels, the action and romance starts off with a bang and never ends.  The story was completely addicting and I couldn’t put it down even for a second. To say that I loved everything about this installment would be a major understatement. 

What really makes this story spectacular is the main character China.  She’s insanely smart, socially awkward, has some major OCD issues and is just as cute as a button – and she seems to find herself in a huge bit of trouble that only the two leading men of the story can save her from. China is currently dating Jackson Cooper and I really love that their together, but since Tiffany Snow is the queen of love triangles, I just can’t stop thinking that somewhere down the line sexy Clark Slattery will win China’s heart – which would make me very giddy. Not that I don’t love Jackson, but there is just something about Clark that I find extremely appealing.

Fans of the Kathleen Turner series will love the final chapter which caught me off guard, but in a good way and I was pleasantly surprised and can’t wait to see where this twist in the story takes the reader next.

Tiffany Snow has outdone herself with this incredible series, and I highly recommend this 5-star read to anyone who loves a fast-paced, action-filled romantic suspense that is both captivating and engaging, leaving the reader craving more.

** An ARC was received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review **

The intellectual genius, but socially inept China Mack returns in Tiffany Snow's second book to the series Corrupted Hearts, along with her two leading men, Jackson Cooper and Clark Slattery.

When I say "two leading men," I don't mean there's a menage going on, but that the two men feature predominantly in her life as her romantic partner and business partner respectively. Not to say that there is no love-triangle going on, because lets be honest, Ms. Snow is the queen of love-triangles, and there is tension between China and Clark despite her relationship with Jackson.

Amidst the relationship between the three, there is a storyline beyond China's growing anxiety of change in routine and inexperience in being in a relationship. Break Me picks up where Follow Me, the first book of the series left off, where China and Clark are recruited into a super secret government program, where China's brain and Clark's brawn are used.

There is quite a lot of things that happened in this book. Some drama, a little of action and a bit of feels are thrown in. It was pretty fast paced and I was totally invested from beginning to end.

I have to say though, that the ending COMPLETELY took me by surprise and it was AWESOME. If you are a Tiffany Snow fan, like I am, you will be blown away with the last chapter. I'm giddy just thinking back to it... 

I will  be looking forward to the next book, whenever that may be released.

We’re back with China Mack and her quirky but brilliant mind!

Now working for the government, China wrongly assumed that all of her problems are behind her. Whilst she is still under the protection of Clark, and dating Jackson, she is torn between her loyalties towards these two men. Clark knows about the project she is working on but she can’t tell Jackson about it. Now with danger looming and the Vigilance software once again under threat, China must decide if she can let Jackson into her work life in order to keep her safe.

China is unlike any other female protagonist that you will read about. A girl after my own heart, she doesn’t think twice about wearing couture and converse, at the same time. Being paraded on the arms of two men has its challenges, though, especially when her cover is blown whilst alongside Clark. Jackson is facing his own demons though as the government tries to discredit him and his business and there’s only one person he can turn to save the day. The only problem is that she comes with an attachment aka Clark!

With drama around every corner, this amazing threesome must act fast and trust no-one in order to keep Vigilance secure and to free Jackson. Whilst China is brave and strong, she is also as fragile as her name and if you damage her she will break. 

I've found this series fascinating. Whilst still struggling with the sci-fi nerd speak, I have come to find it more endearing than challenging. Tiffany Snow keeps you on the edge of your seats both with the drama and emotion and you are continually questioning whether Clark will ever win over China’s feelings or is her heart solely in the hands of Jackson? This is another story with a #TeamJackson / #TeamClark theme running through it but whilst I have come to love both men, and would happily choose both, the question is will China remain faithful to Jackson or will the emotional tribulations that she faces with Clark draw her closer to him.

With another fight seemingly won, it appears that hackers are not who you ever expect them to be and this story ends with what looks like another intriguing story around the corner.

If you are curious about hacking, programming, secrets and spies then this book is a must read!

This ebook was kindly provided by the author, publisher and Netgalley prior to release date in return for an honest and unbiased review.

I already pre-ordered this book, but when I found out it was up on Net Galley, I just couldn't wait to read it. 

Each time I read a Tiffany Snow book, I become completely immersed in the world. China has become one of my favorite heroines. I have a child who is very similar to China (although sadly, not a genius) and so I find her eccentricities endearing. 

I have no words for the ending! At one point earlier, I thought it would be great to see some characters from Tiffany's Kathleen Turner series. I was so thrilled to get what I think of as an extra epilogue to that series. It made my heart happy to know that everyone eventually will get his happy ending. 

I'm #teamJackson, but I'd hoping Clark will find love too someday because he deserves it. And his own book!

Tiffany Snow has done it again.  I could not put this down I love the characters and oh my gosh I don't want to give anything away.  Just oh my gosh.....

It seems to me that occasionally the second book in a trilogy suffers from "middle child" syndrome. You know what I mean; it struggles to fit in, it does things differently and constantly fights with it's older and younger siblings for attention.

Thankfully, this book is not a middle child. It has a life of it's own and from the first hilarious few lines, takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of laughter, anger, sadness and nostalgia.

This is so difficult to write without major spoilers, but here goes. Our heroine - brilliant, awkward, tech genius China Mack - has a new job, a new man, a sexy new co-worker and a whole new set of problems that she doesn't know how to deal with, including her hysterical man-magnet Grandma. On one hand she's oblivious to the growing tension between Jackson and Clark, yet on the other she confidently leads a team of fellow nerds in cracking impossible codes and tracking down expert hackers. But using her smarts - as well as her social inadequacies - to her advantage sees her snooping where she shouldn't be and mixing with the lowest of the low, all in the name of tech wizardry and world domination. She's still a little too trustworthy which is at first endearing, but it doesn't take her long to hitch up her Big Girl panties (Victoria's Secret with a matching bra, of course), harden up and go to the extreme to get her man out of the Government's clutches. By extreme, I mean the Big Cheese, the Big Kahuna, and despite all the clues I still didn't get it until the last chapter...

I like the fact that the love triangle feels like it's slow to develop, but by the end of the book I felt like it had slapped me in the face for being so oblivious. What I really like about Tiffany Snow's previous books featuring a love triangle (the brillilant Kathleen Turner series and the Risky Business series) is that it's built up, then dealt with quickly and neatly in the final book. It doesn't drag out, nor does it go backwards and forwards for chapters and chapters. I'm looking forward to that in book 3 so we can get on with the business of China.

The writing is fast paced, detailed and deep. The character of China grows and matures greatly in this instalment as she faces lighthearted fun, misunderstandings, deep love and unimaginable horrors. We see a different side of Clark and a darker side of Jackson.

A brilliant middle-child. But did I mention the last chapter? Re-reading it made being late for work soooo worth it.

I received a free advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.

I liked the story. I liked how China Mack has evolved. I felt it was very slow in the beginning. It took a long time to tell the story. Jackson and Clark were book written well. I wasn't sure at times if China was going to involved with Clark and that was a plus. The last chapter was the best part of the book. The first book was differently much better.

Amazing as usual Tiffany Snow! The character China is her usual qwerky self but she is growing more comfortable with social conventions and learning more about relationships. She reminds me of a female sheldon cooper. Hard to understand but easy to love. Cant wait to see what she will conquer next.

This is the second book in this series and while China Mack was so much fun with her quirky, nerdy OCD issues those traits did not shine through quite as much in this book.  She was still a fun character.  I prefer a little more of the romance which this one did not offer compared to the first. There is also some kind of underplay going on with Clark, China’s coworker, that I’m not really comfortable with.  This book does have a lot of excitement, twists and turns.  Jackson still has a few surprises of his own as well.  I enjoyed the story I just like my romances with a definitive alpha hero which in my opinion this book lacks but makes up for with having two yummy male characters that care about China and will battle each other in their effort to protect her.  All in all, it was a very entertaining read in which I stayed up way too late to finish and it seems to be setting the reader up for the next book.

Will add this review to Amazon at publication date.

China Mack Is a computer protege and works for a top secret government agency that answers directly to the President. She is dating tech billionaire and playboy Jackson Cooper, who has no idea what her job is.  China may be a genius, but she just doesn't understand the finer points of human relationships. There is a mole somewhere high in the government and China and the agency she works with has been tasked to find the mole. China's computer skills have also made her a target for some very nasty people.

China's niece is living with her and sometimes you wonder who is raising who. China's Granny appears in the book and she is an absolute hoot! This book will catch your interest from the first page. China is a fun character she is completely lacking in social skills, OCD, and very trusting of people. This book has gunfights, hackers, spies, romance and suspense all rolled up into one package. It is the second book in a series, but it could be read alone. It follows Corrupted Hearts which was just as good a book. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

This book was even better than the first! Lots of action and drama and everything in between. The little bit at the end has me so excited for book 3! It's not really a cliffhanger but just know more good stuff is to come.

This is the second book in the series and they need to be read in order.I really enjoyed this book its a great addition to the series and a great read sucks you in right from the start cant wait for more

Tiffany Snow is an automatic buy/read for me and she has never disappointed me. She is the queen of romantic suspense and I loved this book! China is such a great character and even without the romance part, you still get a great story. I can't wait to read the next one.

I really enjoyed this book. The concept is intriguing and I really enjoy the dynamic between Jackson and Clarke and China. Cannot wait for the next book!

Another page turner from Tiffany Snow!  I thought I would be tired of the love triangle, but it totally works with Jackson, China, and Clark!  The plot kept me going as China awkwardly struggles through her 1st relationship and her position working for the President and his Chief of Staff.  China's lack of social skills and her logical approach to that which is never logically, crack me up!  I can't wait for the 3rd book in this series!!!
