I absolutely did not see that ending coming。 I was preparing for the worse。 I was preparing for heartbreak and the shedding of a million tears because I didn’t believe there was a way out for any of them。 Life in Southside is rough。 There isn’t much room for hopes and dreams， or escape。 So as the story progressed and life seemed bleak， I was overjoyed with how the book ended。 I am not going into much about the story itself， but will give praise where praise is due。 Mankin rocked the heck out of I absolutely did not see that ending coming。 I was preparing for the worse。 I was preparing for heartbreak and the shedding of a million tears because I didn’t believe there was a way out for any of them。 Life in Southside is rough。 There isn’t much room for hopes and dreams， or escape。 So as the story progressed and life seemed bleak， I was overjoyed with how the book ended。 I am not going into much about the story itself， but will give praise where praise is due。 Mankin rocked the heck out of this book and this series。 I still think more could come from it…still hoping for more will come from it。 But what we have gotten so far has been absolutely amazing and worth the read。 Always well written & always completely scorching…Mankin’s books own you the entire time。 5 Brilliant Stars！ 。。。more

Breaking Her Bad， the second part of Kyle and Claire's story starts up right where it left off in part 1， Hot Summer School Night。 Claire's family has been emotionally and financially devastated， forced to completely change their way of life。 Kyle is even more broken， if that's possible and now the debt he owes seems more like a lifetime of servitude to an evil master and horribly inescapable。 When Kyle sees Claire at Southside High， he can't believe his eyes！ He never thought he'd see her a Breaking Her Bad， the second part of Kyle and Claire's story starts up right where it left off in part 1， Hot Summer School Night。 Claire's family has been emotionally and financially devastated， forced to completely change their way of life。 Kyle is even more broken， if that's possible and now the debt he owes seems more like a lifetime of servitude to an evil master and horribly inescapable。 When Kyle sees Claire at Southside High， he can't believe his eyes！ He never thought he'd see her again， so what is she doing here？ How will he able to protect her innocence from the evil elements around any given corner in this place？？ Southside doesn't offer many safe or joyful moments， so those stolen glimpses at school will have to do。 Claire evolved over the summer from an awkward girl into a beautiful woman but Kyle is still the anti- hero who can't risk having her light shine down on the dark world he's forced to live in， sadly， without her。 Kyle is still the flawed dark prince Claire's remembered from her secret fantasies。。。 maybe。 She is his soulmate， saviour and remembering their night together is his guilty pleasure。 With so many obstacles to overcome living in this dangerous world， will they ever find a way to be way together for all to see？ Fulfilling their surprising shared destiny and having the freedom to live their lives in peace， with love and music filling the air would be such a beautiful dream。 I'm not going to say more than this， to do so would spoil the fun of your own discovery。 If you've read the beginning of Claire and Kyles's story， then run quickly to grab this suspenseful， swoony， sexy conclusion- a HFN， with the amazing array of characters and the twisted， jaw dropping revelations of the past meeting present day， believe me， you won't want to miss this！ I'll be waiting for more to come in this cutthroat Southside High world and I was thrilled to have read an early copy of Breaking Her Bad。 。。。more

Woohoo！ THIS is why I read Michelle Mankin。 Breaking Her Bad had it all！ Incredible character development， plot lines within plot lines， and a steam level that fogged up my glasses ;） I loved how MMankin intertwined history with the present， gave Kyle， Claire， Tommy， Missy， and everyone else the hope they needed to be able to believe in the future。 MMankin never shies away from the grittier side of things - like drug use， and I appreciate that。 And her musical element is always a bonus。 All Woohoo！ THIS is why I read Michelle Mankin。 Breaking Her Bad had it all！ Incredible character development， plot lines within plot lines， and a steam level that fogged up my glasses ;） I loved how MMankin intertwined history with the present， gave Kyle， Claire， Tommy， Missy， and everyone else the hope they needed to be able to believe in the future。 MMankin never shies away from the grittier side of things - like drug use， and I appreciate that。 And her musical element is always a bonus。 All in all， Breaking Her Bad delivered on the promise made with Hot Summer School Night。 。。。more

I knew before I started this book that it was going to be a great love story and as expected Michelle Mankin did not disappoint。 I keep thinking that her writing and story-telling cannot possibly get any better but it does。 Breaking Her Bad picks up where Hot Summer School Nights left off。 This is book 2 in the No Quarter series which is a spin off from the Tempest Series。 Kyle Murphy is an 18 year old Drug dealer at Southside High， he is quiet， has an intense personality and has secrets that on I knew before I started this book that it was going to be a great love story and as expected Michelle Mankin did not disappoint。 I keep thinking that her writing and story-telling cannot possibly get any better but it does。 Breaking Her Bad picks up where Hot Summer School Nights left off。 This is book 2 in the No Quarter series which is a spin off from the Tempest Series。 Kyle Murphy is an 18 year old Drug dealer at Southside High， he is quiet， has an intense personality and has secrets that only a few people are aware of。 After spending a magical night with Kyle， Claire Walsh had to let go of the man of her dreams and when she couldn’t feel worse life decided to show her that it can get worse before it gets better。Kyle and Claire have an intense attraction to each other and as much as Kyle tries to avoid it and the danger of anyone finding out how he truly feels about Claire she has other plans and her plans include Kyle。 Their attraction It isn't straightforward and not without its hiccups but it is a journey as a reader you NEED in your life！ Breaking Her Bad is an absolutely fantastic read， it would be best if you read Hot Summer School Nights first but you can start with Breaking Her Bad and will not get lost。I recommend this book for all the reasons listed above but also because Michelle Mankin is such a fantastic storyteller， this book has so much emotion in the written words， I stayed up way past when I should have been sleeping to finish this book， it was that good。 。。。more

Breaking Her Bad is the compelling continuation of Kyle and Claire's journey。 Their story is jam packed with so many emotions， history， mistakes， passion， forgiveness， shame， concern， protecting others， set backs as well as finding love。 I loved this book and liked the incredible character development with occasional crossover。 Michelle has a magical way of putting words together to tell her stories。 I can not wait to read more。 Breaking Her Bad is the compelling continuation of Kyle and Claire's journey。 Their story is jam packed with so many emotions， history， mistakes， passion， forgiveness， shame， concern， protecting others， set backs as well as finding love。 I loved this book and liked the incredible character development with occasional crossover。 Michelle has a magical way of putting words together to tell her stories。 I can not wait to read more。 。。。more

Yet another book by Michelle Mankin that has drawn me in， tied me up in knots and then spat me out， expecting me to just get on with my life！ As with most of Ms Mankins books， I have found myself completely invested in Breaking her Bad and Kyle and Claire’s story。 The ending of Book 1 Hot Summer School Night set the premise for book 2， and boy I feel like I’ve been put through the ringer！Initially in book 1 I found Kyle hard to like， probably left over from my Tempest Days and the fact he’s a dr Yet another book by Michelle Mankin that has drawn me in， tied me up in knots and then spat me out， expecting me to just get on with my life！ As with most of Ms Mankins books， I have found myself completely invested in Breaking her Bad and Kyle and Claire’s story。 The ending of Book 1 Hot Summer School Night set the premise for book 2， and boy I feel like I’ve been put through the ringer！Initially in book 1 I found Kyle hard to like， probably left over from my Tempest Days and the fact he’s a drug dealer。 However I couldn’t hold onto that for long。 Getting to know the character and seeing such a different side to him， understanding his backstory and the heartbreak of his life， I found myself drawn in and was soon cheering him on from the sidelines。 It was not hard to see how Claire fell under his spell。This is not a light hearted read。 I’m not sure any story coming out of Southside can be。 Be prepared for a story that is full of angst and emotion。 Not forgetting great sex scenes too。 This story will affect your emotions， so be prepared。 This is a true love story， but with a dramatic story arc。 Beautifully written by this author as always。 I’m so happy I uncovered her books。 You will not be disappointed。 。。。more

Book two in the No Quarter series。 Can be read as stand-alone， but I recommend reading Hot Summer School Night first as that is the prequel that introduces Kyle & Claire the night they meet & how different their upbringing is。 I would also highly recommend reading the Complete Tempest World box set because it is an amazing series set in Southside！ Full length told in dual POV that I did not want to end。 What an incredible job of weaving secondary characters and storyline into Kyle & Claire’s lov Book two in the No Quarter series。 Can be read as stand-alone， but I recommend reading Hot Summer School Night first as that is the prequel that introduces Kyle & Claire the night they meet & how different their upbringing is。 I would also highly recommend reading the Complete Tempest World box set because it is an amazing series set in Southside！ Full length told in dual POV that I did not want to end。 What an incredible job of weaving secondary characters and storyline into Kyle & Claire’s love story！ This story has everything I love！！ I hope there is more in this series！ 。。。more

4。5 stars "。。。you do what you're supposed to do， but when that's not an option， you do what you have to"That just about sums up life for Kyle and Claire throughout the conclusion to their story， and it's a heckuva ride that I didn't put down once I started it！ Claire is still reeling from the seismic shift in her life over the past few months， and Kyle is trying desperately to hold onto the good memories of his night with Claire as he focuses on surviving life afterward。 Claire's first day of 4。5 stars "。。。you do what you're supposed to do， but when that's not an option， you do what you have to"That just about sums up life for Kyle and Claire throughout the conclusion to their story， and it's a heckuva ride that I didn't put down once I started it！ Claire is still reeling from the seismic shift in her life over the past few months， and Kyle is trying desperately to hold onto the good memories of his night with Claire as he focuses on surviving life afterward。 Claire's first day of school in Southside is a shock to both of them that amps up their chaotic emotions。 Kyle's need to protect her is strong and immediate， but acknowledging that she means something to him will just put her in danger。 Fortunately， another new transfer named Tommy steps up and becomes a trusted friend to both Kyle and Claire which allows Kyle to protect her from a distance。 Claire is a bit shell shocked at first between the radically different atmosphere of Southside and Kyle's whiplash inducing attitude shifts。 But she also finds a friend and unlikely ally in Missy who you will remember from book 1。 They certainly don't have an easy journey， and the constant threats to Kyle always hang over their heads。 But I LOVED how the author wove together this group that was connected in ways they never suspected and the history that was revealed along the way。 There was one unexpected revelation that had me doing a double take， but all in all， Breaking Her Bad was everything I hoped for！ARC received from author 。。。more
