Break My Fall by TJ Cameron!!

When Leah’s ex-boyfriend Kevin betrays her in a horrifically public way, she leaves town to spend her last summer of college in a place where no one knows who she is, what happened to her, and what she did to make herself so vulnerable. All she wants is a little peace of mind and some good surfing so she can regroup before returning for her senior year. After his own tragedy a few years ago, Drew developed an entirely new and unique outlook on life and became a risk-taker, daring and dangerous, everything Leah wanted to avoid. But a chance encounter forces her to let Drew into her life, little by little, secret by secret. He’s smart, funny, persistent, hot, and makes money in a rather unconventional way. They share a mutual fascination and attraction, until her past with Kevin complicates her present with Drew, making Leah question her future. Just as her life seems to be spinning out of control, Leah learns that sometimes you save someone by letting them save you.

Sunny's Review:

This book brings up an important point in today's society. Leah felt like she was in a loving committed relationship and was planning on marrying Kevin. She felt safe and was willing to do things with him that she would not do with others. Kevin broke that trust and put pictures of her on the internet. This is a horrible thing to happen it and it seems to happen more and more often.

I like that this book brings up this issue. You get to see what this has done to Leah. She is emotionally fragile and has intimacy issues. Drew realizes that something has happened to Leah and wants to get to know her. He is pretty good at helping her with her issues and she opens up to him.

I like the message of this book and recommend it. I am giving it 4 stars. I personally didn't really like Drew very much. He is a good guy and really helps his grandparents and never pushes Leah to do anything she doesn't want to do. He is there for her but at the same time I can't get on board with the choices he made in his life. I almost feel like he is a cop out in that area. I think that most people will really like him...these are just my issues and I don't hold it against the book.
