Breaking Through

A Stevenson Family Story, Book 2

By: L.E. Wagensveld

Narrated by: Holly Lynn Pitrago

Sometimes your perfect person is the one you’ve overlooked your whole life… Loving Charlotte Baker isn’t new for Sam Stevenson; knowing she tastes like rich wine and sounds like heaven when he kisses her, however, is, and now he can’t forget. Sam never intended to act on his decade-and-then-some crush on Charlotte; he is used to living with the heartache of knowing he will never have her. Weddings are dangerous places, though, and intoxicated in more ways than one, Sam lets his resolve slip.

Charlotte grew up as part of the Stevenson clan, and sweet, introverted Sam, with his love for comic books and all things nerdy, has always held a special place in her heart. But when Sam unexpectedly kisses her the night of his brother’s wedding, there’s nothing familial about it. While Charlotte struggles with the secrets that come to light in the wake of their unexpected kiss, she almost loses Sam to forces outside her control.

Friends may make the best lovers, but it isn’t until their meddling family gets involved that Sam and Charlotte are forced to confront their feelings, and each other. They say friends make the best lovers, but are they willing to risk what was to explore what could be?

Great Follow Up!

I'm glad I started with the first in the series, so I could know the backstories. The lives led by these characters are fully relatable, while still having "edge of your seat" moments as well as laugh out loud moments, and even happy tears! The narrator does a great job keeping all of the characters distinct, leading me into each of the above-listed emotions. I think there's a third "episode", right? I'm hopeful ☺️
