Dylan
fights for lost causes. Probably because she used to be one.
Environmental
issues, civil rights, education – you name it, she’s probably been involved in
a protest. When her latest cause lands her in jail for a few hours, she meets
Silas Moore. He’s in for a different kind of fighting. And though he’s arrogant
and not at all her type, she can’t help being fascinated with him. Yet another
lost cause.
Football
and trouble are the only things that have ever come naturally to Silas. And
it’s trouble that lands him in a cell next to do-gooder Dylan. He’s met girls
like her before – fixers, he calls them, desperate to heal the damage and make
him into their ideal boyfriend. But he doesn’t think he’s broken, and he
definitely doesn’t need a girlfriend trying to change him. Until, that is, his
anger issues and rash decisions threaten the only thing he really cares about,
his spot on the Rusk University football team. Dylan might just be the perfect
girl to help.
Because
Silas Moore needs some fixing after all.
All
Broke Down is
the unbelievably sexy second book in Carmack’s Rusk University series and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Carmack jumps in with the sexy
almost immediately and well *fans self*. It’s by the far the hottest of her
books so far, so much so that I felt uncomfortable reading it a room with
someone else! Dylan and Silas are electric. Their gritty pasts and complicated
personalities made their chemistry even stronger; they were fighting against
not only their feelings, but themselves.
Dylan is a seemingly perfect
girl: a do-gooder from a rich, put-together family, but who was actually
adopted and is fed up of trying to uphold her perfection for fear of being
abandoned. Silas is a football player on the brink of fighting constantly and
losing the one thing he cares about while battling being shipped all over the
place as a child. But they complement each other perfectly. Dylan brings out
Silas’s warmth and Silas’s brings out Dylan’s fire. They’re a match made in
heaven.
Even though I know absolutely
nothing about American football aside from what I’ve seen on Glee, I really love experiencing it in
this series. I love the spirit and the passion and the way it brings a whole
university together; we don’t have anything like that in UK schools of
universities unfortunately, but I wish we did.
Though All Broke Down tackled a few serious subjects, Cora Carmack’s books
will always be easy, mindless fun for me. And I’m okay with that. I’m looking
forward to the next one.
