SYNOPSIS:
When
Rowan’s two-year marriage ends with a crash, she returns home to Peace Falls,
VA, riding shotgun in her sister’s 1990 Cadillac hearse. Everything about her
is damaged: her heart, her pride, her bank account, and her spine—thanks to a
tourist, a Segway, and finding her husband getting busy with her boss. But
Rowan is determined to reclaim her career and city life as soon as she
recuperates and lands a new job.
Caleb
“Cal” Cardoso didn’t notice wallflower Rowan in high school, but the former
football star, and Peace Falls’s newest physical therapist, can’t take his eyes
off the stunning redhead now. Too bad he’s sworn off relationships. After his
last hookup purposely tanked his online reputation, Cal stands to lose his job
if a single patient leaves his care. Which is why he can’t let Rowan switch to
another practitioner, despite the friction between them, and why he definitely
can’t act on his growing attraction.
Rowan
agrees to remain Cal’s patient if he helps her younger brother train for
football tryouts. Though Cal hasn’t touched a football since the accident that
killed his best friend, he agrees, and as Cal helps heal Rowan’s body, she
begins to heal his heart.
For
You I’d Break is a small town romance with a hefty dash of spice, a HEA ending,
and a cast of memorable characters, including a goth sculptor who secretly
loves to decorate cakes, a fearsome-looking felon with a heart of gold, a
hothead with a sweet side, a karma-devoted barista who collects damaged pets
and first dates, and a lovable dog with more emotional sense than everyone put
together.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT:
Being a
wallflower makes you thirsty, so parched for attention your heart feels
brittle. Then after years—or in my case a lifetime—someone finally sees you.
The exquisite feeling seeps deep, the attention saturating your life. So, you
jump, headfirst. The red flags go unnoticed. Declarations of love tossed as
lightly as petals. Maybe you marry him, like I did. Maybe you bloom in domestic
bliss with a house in the suburbs and two adorable kids. Maybe a dog. Bare
minimum a pet turtle.
I wasn’t so
lucky.
After two years
of marriage, instead of house hunting in the outskirts of DC, I was riding
shotgun in my sister’s 1990 Cadillac hearse, headed back to Peace Falls, VA,
with everything I owned stuffed where a coffin ought to be.
I’d cried so
much in the past three hours, I could barely make out the foothills rising in
the distance. My throat was raw. Crumpled tissues littered the floorboard, and
lint covered my leggings.
The tears
surprised me. Apart from a couple of late-night phone calls to my mother after
I left the hospital, I’d held it together pretty well. I was too busy tying up
the loose ends of my life in DC to feel anything but stressed. The moment Poppy
arrived to drive me home, the tears started and built with every box, bag, and
lamp we slid into the hearse.

REVIEW:
5 stars!
This exceptional second-chance romance kicks off a new
series!
For You I’d Break is the exceptional first novel in
author Hannah Jordan’s wonderful new Peace Falls romance series, and I’ve
never encountered a better treatment of the second-chance romance plot. Great
characters, a charming small-town setting, and complex, realistic emotions and
problems all combine for a fantastic series debut.
The female main character, Rowan Stevens Norris, has returned
home after discovering her husband cheating and to recover from injuries
sustained during a freak accident with a person riding a Segway. Cal Cordoba is
the leading man whose past has caused him to reject emotional commitment in
relationships. He’s returned to his hometown of Peace Falls to join an
established medical practice as a physical therapist. Both Rowan and Cal are surrounded
by good friends or family, most of whom also have their own emotional burdens.
Cal and his friends, Adrian and Theo, share a past tragedy that they are all
still paying for physically and emotionally, and their daily struggles are
realistic. Lauren, Cammie, and even Avery have their own heartbreaks to
overcome.
There is conflict between Rowan and Cal from the start but
there is a ton of chemistry as well. While I enjoyed the push-pull of their
relationship, I couldn’t put the book down until I got to the HEA. The dialogue
throughout the story absolutely sparkles and is a major highlight of the book.
I laughed out loud quite a few times because the banter was so witty. The
author does a wonderful job creating the town of Peace Falls and populating it
with memorable people without killing the plot with details and exposition. I
am already looking forward to catching up with these characters as the series
continues.
I recommend FOR YOU I’D BREAK to romance readers, especially
those with an affinity for tales of second-chance romance.
