Max is excited when Chloe, a girl that works for the same gym he does, agrees to go on a date with him. He is disturbed, though, when she becomes violently ill after he kisses her. Max can’t shake how he feels about her. He sacrifices his job and does everything he can to find an answer to her illness. But is it enough to save their relationship – and save her?

Chloe can’t believe Max Thomas, the hottest guy at Roadie’s Gym, wants to go out with her. When their date is a disaster, she thinks she’ll never see him again. She is stunned when he reappears in her life and tries to find the answer behind whatever has made her sick since she was a child. However, will he stick around or abandon her like her father did? Can she trust him enough to let him into her heart?

Tamara’s Review

Breaking the Cycle is a sweet romance that shines a light on a disease I personally had never heard of, without beating you over the head with  facts or clinical information. In fact, I would have like a bit more information about Cyclic Vomiting disorder.
Chloe and Max are wonderful characters. I had immediate empathy for Chloe and her struggles. Max, well Max was almost too good to be true, and I’d say that was his only fault. I found his character a little hard to accept because her was sooo wonderful, so accepting, so supportive and never failing, but.. hey it’s fiction. Why not draw a hero that’s the man we all dream about? And Max is definitely that.
I loved the Hard Drive gang, Mark, Dan and Rico. I hope Tricia plans to continue this as a series and give these sweet “bad” boys some heroines of their own, because they deserve them! The brief look into the MMA fighting arena was interesting and exciting. Once again, I would have liked to have seen a bit more of it.
I thought Liz, Chloe’s mother was great. As the mother of a special needs child myself, I understand completely the need to protect our children to the point of almost isolation. Because loneliness is better then pain. Liz has a strength that shines through ans I loved getting to see her heart finally open up.
Breaking the Cycle was an uplifting read that made me cry happy tears and left me with that warn fuzzy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Don’t you just love that? This was the firt book I’ve read by Ms Anderson, but it definitely won’t be the last.
