Breaking Free by Adrienne Giordano

Micki is on the run from an manipulative boss. A boss who has kept her isolated from family and dictated her every move since she was eighteen. A man who values money but has no moral values himself.
5th on the series but stands on its own.

A thriller with multiple layers that include internet hacking, traumatic brain injury, family loyalty and romance.
I really liked this book. It was fast engaging and with so much going on, no dull spots. A+.

Excerpt:
“Still with his arm around her shoulders, he squeezed her a wee bit closer. Really, he should take his mitts off of Reid’s sister. He’d been in this town long enough to know that tongues would be wagging. As soon as word got back to the Steeles, they’d close ranks and expect answers on his intentions.
Which, at the moment, were far from pure.
Micki—the girl who didn’t smile a lot—hit him with the trademark all-flash-and-glory Steele smile. That smile morphed her into a combination of Miss Joan, Jonah, and Reid. All in one. He saw bits of each of them in her—Jonah’s eyes, Reid’s carved face, Miss Joan’s nose. When Micki smiled all of it came together in one fantastic package that made the extremely male parts of him roar.”

Breaking Free by Adrienne Giordano
Steele Ridge #5

Micki Steele is ready to break away from the hacking job she has held for ten years. She wants to be free to live her life on the right side of the law. What she has done the past ten years was done for love – love of her twin brother and her family – but it is weighing her down. Her first thought was a quick visit to see her mom and then head on out but with her four brothers, sister, mother and Gage Barber see through her plot and encourage her to take the steps needed to break free from her boss for good. This is not easy and requires honesty, trust and the courage to implement the plan. With a supportive family, potential freedom and a hot guy to spend time with providing romance that could lead to forever the stage is set for…a boss that doesn’t want to let go and is willing to do anything to get his way.

It was wonderful heading back to Steele Ridge to catch up with the family and how they are doing. This series is written by three splendid authors that I hope are gearing up to tell the stories of Micki, Jonah and Evie. My guess is that there might be more books in the future but only time will tell.

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
