BREAKER: A Brother's Best Friend Romance (Broody Bad Boys - Silo Springs Standalones) Kindle Edition
“Tell me a happy something, Sutton.”
I was only seven the first time Grady Bowen whispered those words to me. Cloaked by the black sky under a blanket of stars, it was easy to get lost. He didn’t have any good memories of his own and needed to borrow mine. I would willingly give him anything.
Being infatuated with that boy was a beautiful curse. What could have been special didn’t get the chance to bloom. He’d never see me as more than his best friend’s kid sister. That was a hard lesson to learn, but not the most difficult.
Grady had always been struggling against the odds. Eventually he quit fighting and let his family’s reputation own him. Try as I might, those influences were beyond my reach.
He didn’t mean to break my heart. Or maybe he did. I shouldn’t have made it so easy for him. Either way, our wrongs against each other carved new lines between us.
I went four years without seeing Grady—each one more painful than the last. That distance did nothing to dull my feelings toward him. But things are different now. Most noticeably is Grady. I barely recognize this man he’s become. And that’s the way he intends to keep it. Not that it really matters.
Grady Bowen stopped being my happy something long ago.

Breaker is gutwrenching, full of longing and second chances. An adult story about commitment and denial. And yet… it’s so much more. Harloe Rae is one of those authors who doesn’t fit neatly into little boxes, and this story shows off her narrative gifts and her romantic heart.
“His memories are full of smiles.” I LOVE THIS LINE! I want Gray’s future to be so full of smiles too. Rae writes their love story with so much care. She lingers in moments between them, and builds to their intimate scenes of rapture like she’s painting a delicate piece of china. I was blown away.
Truth, I may have groaned a little and sobbed quietly. It’s really gewd. Even the erotic touches are built on a desperate vulnerability, some of Rae’s best heartbreaking and romantic passages.
Everyone should read it. It’s a fantastic portrait of choices, between want and responsibility, between selfish and selfless love. Told with her lyrical style that spins a dark thread of hope and connection. It’s beautiful. You won’t be able to look away.
Breaker beats with so much longing and brutal truths. Grady and Sutton are real and honest, devoted friends driven apart by fate. And I love how they find each other, and find love. Plus, there's a dog. And happy somethings, and sometimes that's all Grady had. Sigh I love this story.
Sutton grew up as the bright buoy to all the chaos and tragedy that Grady swims in most of his life. She sustains him and keeps his head above water. They had a life long relationship built on ritual and trust.
When Sutton leaves, Grady is forced to move on as well. Only after she returns, can they begin to examine themselves and their relationship as adults. The set up to this story is so well told. I loved it. I loved them falling.
“A floating sensation sweeps over me. There’s serenity whisking within the pain.” Yeah, I know. This book is bulging with these moving sensations. Honestly, my emotions were all over the place. Tears and laughter and a lot of heartache, I was pulling for them so much and fighting my own emotional reactions.
Grady and Sutton deserve each other. If you love great leads, a good cry and a angsty love story, you will love Breaker.
Grady Bowen and Sutton Olsen has loved one another since they've met. Grady is Sutton's brothers best friend and he likes to hear something happy from Sutton since life hasn't been good to him.
They were close as kids but once they become teenagers Grady pushes her away. She offers herself to him the night before she leaves for college. He tells her NO, to forget about him and find someone else. Sutton doesn't...
Sutton comes back home for good 4 years later to find that Grady has changed and not in good way. This breaks her heart until he's in a accident, she helps him and he mends her heart by asking her to be his girl.
Gray and Sutt are in love and want forever until someone else wants her for his own and sets up Grady and sends him to jail. Will the truth set him free or will this be the breaking point for them both?
steamier. Give me details. Tell me what’s going on. Tell me their past. Dive into the details. What caused the distance between them before she left for college? If everyone knew they had feeling for each other, why does everyone wait until they’re together to say something? If it’s “unrequited love” for brother best friend, tell me about. If he has deep feelings for her when they’re younger, tell me about it. If someone else is in love with her let me know for how long and why and what’s going through their mind. It was a quick read, it was enjoyable, but there was so much potential to really dive deep and pull me in.

They meet as young kids and they were always asking each other to tell one another something Happy as they were growing up.Grady found his Happy something in the end and so did sutton
I suffered a book-hangover and couldn't find the right words.
At first: it's one of my favorite tropes: brother's best friend.
You really feel from the start, that Grady is Sutton's everything and it doesn't change after the prologue or the first chapter.
I wanted to be in Grady's head after this chapter, no, I really wanted to know what he thought in the prologue. Finally in chapter 2 I got an insight and was lost with the words:
"She's the only happy something in my life."
I fell in love with him.
I wanted to hug him.
He is holding back although he loves her deeply, too. It's not because of said trope. He is feeling unworthy for her because of where he is coming from.
....but he was still hoping....the things he made for her because all of the happy something's they shared a long time ago.
Sutton is so perfect for him!
She's there for him, always was, and showed him that he is more than he thought he is.
There is a tiny bit drama for what happened to Grady. No break-off - thank you! Sutton's and Grady's love never wavers as they started their relationship.
I just want to tell you all: read this book!
I can't wait for Keeper now!
Sutton returns Grady's feelings but he pushes her away. So Sutton goes off to college.
4 years later and it takes Grady getting hurt and Sutton taking care of him to open his eyes.
A brilliantly written story with excellent characters and a happy ending guaranteed.
I've read a few of Harloe work and they never disappoint! They are my go to inbetween dark reads.
Here we meet Grady and Sutton (I saw them briefly in Loner) and I love their story, their childhood past. Sutton has always known Grady was hers and she was his. Grady felt the same but feels like she deserves better and the fact she his best friends little sister.
They are brought together after four years.... Your have to read to find out but this couple are sent some trials to test them and let me tell you Grady is 😍 Sutton is his light, queen and sunshine ...
No OW drama, NO cheating, Low angst
