The way she makes him feel whole.
Can he convince her to give love a second chance?
Book set in Reynolds Restoration world.
At the beginning of the story we get to meet, Stefano Borelli, a carefree bachelor who isn’t looking for a relationship, until one day on his way home he comes across a woman that would change his life forever. She has a flat tire and refuses his help at every turn. But there is a spark in her that Stefano is drawn to right away. She leaves and he thinks that he might not see her again. Stefano doesn’t chase after women, but he can’t stop thinking about the beautiful stranger. So when she shows up where he works at Reynolds & Co. Restorations and Repairs, he knows that he can’t let her walk away a second time. Yet, no matter how hard he tries to get Gabby to give them a chance, he can sense that she has been hurt in the past. It’s the very same past that comes back unexpectedly that has Stefano ready to protect what it already dear to him. He just needs to convince Gabby that they might just be it for each other before it’s too late.
As a single mother, living paycheck to paycheck is a struggle for Gabby and her son, Theo. She wishes she had enough money to keep him safe and not be looking over her shoulder constantly. It’s the fear of her past coming back to haunt her that has her afraid of the future, until she meets Stefano Borelli. There is an intense attraction toward each other the minute they meet and no matter where she is, he always seems to be there ready to have her back. It’s for the first time that Gabby starts to feel safe again and really wants to let Stefano into her life. He shows her the family and the friendships that she can have and he is determined to make her his.
I throughly enjoyed reading Breaking the Speed Limit! Talk about first impressions and how the characters first meet, it was sizzling! That’s what kept me reading, their banter and insane chemistry is what kept pulling them closer. It only takes one interaction between them for Stefano to know exactly what he wants and will not stop until Gabby gives them a shot. Whereas for Gabby, she feels the pull yet she is afraid of rushing into anything that could put them all at risk of her past. She is able to lean on her new friends and Stefano’s family. His mom is extremely kind and we get to find out more about her and Stefano’s dad. Is being able to fully trust those around her that puts Gabby at ease and she lets herself be loved by Stefano. It gives her the strength to confront her past at the end. Stefano’s relationship with Theo was sweet and caring. All in all, if you are looking for a second chance romance featuring a really overprotective, kind and swoon worthy Italian then I would highly recommend checking out the book. :)
