Review: Break Me - Book #1 In the Summer Series - Harper James - June 2014

All her life Gemma Andrews has been taught  that men aren't reliable, that all they do when the going gets tough is go out and cheat. As her own father left her mother two months after she fell pregnant with Gemma and by the time Gemma was born, her father had a new wife and was ready to start his new family. Every Summer, though Gemma has spent it with her father's family at their beach-house and this is her last year she has to attend as she will be eighteen. However, this Summer is going to provide Gemma with a wake-up call and help to actually discover who she is as a person and in the process finally get the healing that she has needed for a longtime. This Summer, Gemma is about to discover two things - the first is that her half-siblings Kate and Gray aren't that half-bad and that it isn't their fault about what happened between her parents and that she may have more in common with Kate than she originally thought and two that she isn't broken and that she is loved . As what happens this summer is that Gemma will meet Ash , and she will fall hard but what happens when her romance is short-lived when she discovers he cheated on her with Megan - the slut. Can Gemma give her heart to anyone or was this the straw that broke the camel's back. This was the major turning point in the book that we discovered just how loved Gemma was by her father though he never really showed it. This last part also teared me up and shows that though father's are often seen as detached, they do deep down love us and it is shown  in ways that we often couldn't imagine.
