Alexandria’s
drug-dealing boyfriend, Joel, isn’t exactly the white knight she’s always
dreamed of, but she can’t deny the crazy connection they have. She would do
anything for him, including helping him sell drugs in order to fit perfectly
into his world.
After catching Alexandria dealing for Joel, instead of turning her into the cops, Alexandria’s mother forces her to move to her grandparents’ farm in West Virginia. Spending the summer in the country, away from Joel, is the last thing Alexandria wants to do. But lucky for her, the sexy farmhand, Landon, who helps out around her grandparents’ place, is a very nice distraction. She tries her best to ignore her attraction to him, especially since she still loves Joel.
When Joel does the unforgivable, Alexandria turns to her new friend, Landon, for comfort, and it ignites an undeniable spark of attraction between them. Soon, she finds herself caught between two very different men, and the struggles within her heart just might end up breaking Alexandria.

Review:
***I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Nerd Alert Book Love Blog***
Alexandria 'Lexi' is an angry and out of control seventeen, almost eighteen year old. She has dyed hair, a tattoo, and multiple piercings. She loves to party and hates school. She constantly skips school and has been in trouble on different occasions for fighting. She enjoys drinking and occasionally smoking weed. She loves her boyfriend Joel, and she gives him everything.
Joel is Alexandria's 22 year old boyfriend. He is gorgeous, sexy, and covered head to toe in ink. He is also an occasional drug user and a big time drug dealer. Joel is truly a bad boy! He is a decent guy with a dangerous and illegal job. He loves Alexandria for who she is but that love crosses the line when he gets Alexandria to sell drugs for him on occasion. But everything they know is about to change when Alexandria's mom catches her selling.
"...I've never loved someone the way I love you. You're the most precious thing in this world and I know that if you give me another chance, I can make all of this better. You're my everything baby. I love you so very much..."
Alexandria's mother and father send her to her grandparents farm in the middle of nowhere WV. Hard work and isolation may just be what is needed to give Alexandria a big reality check. Alexandria is left in the hands of Landon to show her her daily chores and all that they entail. An instant attraction is formed between the two and they steadily build a friendship Alexandria so desperately needs. Landon is her rock and her best friend when she needs someone the most.
"...You're incredible, City. You're the most incredible woman I've ever met. I...I love you..."
Will Alexandria finally have the wake up call she needs and set her life straight? Will she just bide her time and then return back home to her old ways and her love, Joel? Will Landon win her heart and help her turn away from her past ways? And what will happen when tragedy strikes and her world is turned upside down yet again? Will she pick her past with Joel or her present with Landon? Or will the only choice be to cut all ties and to start all over again? Will Alexandria even have the strength and the ability to say goodbye and start a new beginning or will it all leave her broken?
"...Life is a funny thing. You never know what's going to happen..."
I absolutely adore KA Robinson. She is an amazing and talented author. I fell in love with her books with The Torn series. And let me tell you, she did not disappoint with Breaking Alexandria. This is a beautifully written story about love, loss, and finding yourself. The characters are incredible and capture a piece of you, even the bad boy Joel. This story takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. You will laugh and you will cry. You will break down and then be built back up again. You will sit at the edge of your seat and hang on tight until the end of the journey. Just when you think you can't take much more, KA Robinson will put it all together and leave you satisfied and smiling and waiting to see what she will be writing next. Her next book to be released is book 4 in The Torn Series, Toxic. It will be released in a few weeks, but until then I happily give Breaking Alexandria a Nerd Alert A+ or 5 stars!

Excerpts:
If there were a medal for sneaking out of the house without getting caught the most times, I’d be the recipient for sure. I smiled to myself as I slowly slid open my bedroom window. I glanced down to the yard below. It was illuminated by the streetlight across the road from our house. I squinted as I looked around, checking for movement of any kind.

I’d prefer to be stomped to death by a cow rather than spend the day stuck with my grandpa, but I didn’t think I should tell him that.
