“Never,” I whispered. “I never surrender.”
A smile of both promise and warning curved his beautiful mouth.
“You will.”

Reviewer’s Thoughts
Kelsey March, was one of those secondary characters that you can’t help but love. She was funny, ballsy, and stuck her nose in her best friends business when they didn’t want her too. She was character you wanted more of. So I was really happy to discover Kelsey was going to get her story and even more shocked to find out her love interest was none of than Archer West.
When we were introduced to Archer West back in the Spiral of Bliss trilogy, I wasn’t sure what to make of him. We knew about the discord within the West family and that Archer was more or less the black sheep, but we also knew there was more to him than what we were getting. And boy, is there more. I think Kelsey summed it up best about Archer. He doesn’t believe he deserves anything good. Archer did a lot of sabotage his life and make sure he lived up to the low expectations he thought everyone had about him. But he had turned his life around. He may not be some hot shot college professor like his brother, but he was working and was no longer in self destruct mode. While not many saw the real Archer, Kelsey did. She saw beneath the bad boy to the man who wanted to be loved for who he was…flaws and all.
It only makes sense that if Kelsey can see the real Archer, that he can see the real Kelsey. Despite her prim and proper attire and the fancy title in front of her name, Archer saw her for who she was: Storm Girl. The girl that was like the wildness of the storms she liked to track. Kelsey tired very hard to curb her wild ways. She stopped chasing storms. She locked the true Kelsey away, because in her mind, her wildness is what hurt the people she loved the most. But with Archer, Kelsey discovered it was OK to be the Storm Girl again. She could be a little wild while still being an academic.
And while these two may have helped each other grow emotionally, the chemistry they had just about set everything else on fire. They were seriously hot. Dirty mouths in the bedroom seem to be a family trait in the West family and one that Archer seemed to best his brother, Dean, in.
BREAK THE SKY was absolute perfection. Perfectly flawed characters who weaved through an emotionally charged storylline that was hard to put down. As always, Nina Lane delivers a knock out that sticks with you well after you’ve finished.
