Author Name: Alicia Kobishop

Book Title: The Fragile Line: Part One

Length: 43,800 words

Release Date: March 15th, 2016

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

Chloe McCarthy thought she had found the perfect guy. Someone just as detached as she was when it came to love and commitment. Someone who never pressured her for more than just sex. But when she gets a little too comfortable with their arrangement, and he rejects her for someone else, it triggers heartbreaking memories that leave her questioning her resolve for a commitment-free life. In a moment of self-pity, she calls on the one person who she knows will make her smile.

Matt Langston lives a drama-free life, and he wants to keep it that way. Chloe McCarthy? All drama. Which is why he needs to stay away from her. A mechanic by day and bouncer by night, he tries to focus on work, but the more he tries, the more she creeps into his thoughts and his dreams, until he realizes that he needs to get her out of his system once and for all.

The Fragile Line is a spin-off to The Fine Line, told in an addicting three-part romance novella series, with each part building on the last. The series may be read alone, however, reading The Fine Line first will provide a further introduction to the characters which may enhance the overall reading experience.

Although this book is a stand-alone in its own rights, I felt glad that I had read The Fine Line beforehand as I had knowledge of the background of the people.

OMG right from the beginning I wanted to slap Chloe silly, she just really got on my nerves and as much as I loved The Fine Line, I was starting to wonder if I would like this book with the way Chloe was putting me off her, but deep down I knew there had to be a reason why she was why she was that way.

What I admire about this writer is the way she drew me into Chloe wanting more to know the why, where, when, questions, and makes you hate this character, then she makes you take stock and listen to Chloe’s story and you find yourself actually sympathising with this character and seeing her in a different light. Bravo Ms Kobishop for being able to do that.

We then have Matt, ahhh lovely Matt, he is the kind of guy every wants around them, he is kind, loving and genuine and the good news was he could see past all the bull that Chloe was trying to pull off and see the girl behind the brashness. Matt is the friend no one should be without but will his and Chloe’s relationship become more than just friendship?

Things are going well, everyone is happy, and then all of a sudden something comes along that could shatter everything, how will Matt and Chloe deal with this new issue?

I can’t wait for the next book in the series to see how things transpire.
