Synopsis:
Alex Corbeau-Green’s world is burning. Ophelia Winters is desperate to prove she didn’t start the fire . . .
Ophelia came to the elite Sorrowsong University to destroy Alex and his family. But that was before she knew him. Before their love became each of their reasons for living.
Now, an unthinkable betrayal and his father’s disappearance forces Alex back to New York, desperate to forget what they had and salvage his empire. Ophelia is left behind in the Scottish Highlands, reeling, alone . . . and watched.
When a new, anonymous tormentor threatens to reveal evidence that Ophelia and Alex committed a murder on campus, it’s clear they’re going to need each other once again. But can they find a way to trust each other and repair the love they had?
And even if they can – will it be enough this time to keep them alive?
Review:
I was sent a copy of Daybreak in exchange for an honest review.
I read this in two days. I only stopped reading when I had to. I quite literally cried at the end. I actually adore this duology, and I know I’ll be re-reading it again in the future.
Daybreak focuses a lot more on Alex, he’s now CEO of his Father’s company and you get to see a lot more of his home/family life. It adds so much more depth to his character and expands on his early life and responsibilities. I didn’t think I could love him more, but there’s so much heart in how he treats his family and the parental role he’s taken on.
The mystery stalker in Daybreak feels like a sidenote to the actual story – the romance. And while it’s obviously important to the book, I think I did forget about it sometimes in favour of eagerly awaiting Alex and Ophelia’s reunion. That isn’t a complaint thought as I loved every second of Daybreak, and the stalker allowed for some great moments to come about.
The epilogue was everything I didn’t know I wanted. It wrapped up the story beautifully and it did make me cry actual happy tears.
There’s yearning, there’s tension, there’s just everything about Alex and how he protects his family and Ophelia. I was honestly obsessed and I love a book that makes me feel a multitude of emotions – and Daybreak certainly did.
