Breaking Point Darcy 9780373114337 Books

Rafe and Tanya have been married for two years and now she has finally opened her eyes up to the fact that her husband treats her like a doll - a possession. He only seems to share the physical side of their r/s w/ her and everything else is shared w/ his efficient PA. Rafe gives Tanya everything that money can buy, but he doesn't really give of himself and he won't give her a baby yet either. He seems to like to solve problems for everyone else but he doesn't really lean on his wife to help him w/ his problems. Nope that is what his PA is for and he does lean on her. He shares intimate details about his marriage w/ his PA that he shouldn't have opened the door on to begin w/. It felt like he was cheating on Tanya w/ his PA even though they never shared anything physical, but that didn't mean the happy PA wouldn't have turned that offer down if it had been made. Tanya decides to take matters into her own hands and she pushes until she gets a reaction. Once she gets her reaction, she is sorry that she even bothered because she got more than she bargained for. Feeling guilty she flees to her grandmothers. Now Rafe has to scramble to convince Tanya that she means more to him than the PA, but will he be willing to choose b/w his wife and the PA?

Truly believed that he loved Tanya he was just dense where PA was concerned. Don't think he even really thought of her as a woman that he could be w/, possibly not even a woman at all. Maybe more of a non-sexual entity who was a friend as well an employee. He was rather dense and you couldn't come at him full throttle w/ anything. It needed to be presented calmly and rationally and then backed off in order for him to think things through. Eventually he got there though. Angst was definitely present in this book wondering what Tanya would do to push her hubby to the realization of what he was doing or not doing and what the catty PA would get up too as well. She does push him beyond his carefully constructed control and she seems to enjoy it, but he termed it rape and felt awful and she later termed it the same. So does that mean she enjoyed being raped? I saw it more as a passionate encounter nothing forced or abusive in any way and she didn't see it as rape after it occurred either so this bothered me a little.

Rafe felt that Tanya just wanted to control him, to bind and twist him around her, but Tanya feels that is what Rafe wants to do to her and in fact that is clearly established through the story. However, that wasn't his intent at all. Tanya needed to see that some things were her fault as well. Sometimes she enabled him to do the things that he did and didn't say much until things started adding up and she soon had her eyes peeled open for her.

Granny is a barrel of good advice: "It has always been my opinion that there can worst kinds of infidelity than the merely sexual." "Do you care about Rafe's needs, Tanya? Wants and needs are sometimes different."

Breaking Point Darcy 9780373114337 Books Reviews

I read reviews for this book years ago but passed on purchasing it because I read that there was cheating. However recently I read a review that stated that the cheating was emotional as opposed to physical and since the hero was jealous and possessive I was willing to take the plunge and read it.

I am in the minority because to me Rafe did not cheat on Tanya, emotionally or physically. Maybe I would have thought differently if more of the story was from Rafe's point of view but it wasn't. The majority of the time the book is from Tanya's point of view. The worst things that he did was give a watch to the OW as a gift and when distraught that Tanya left him, take the OW out to dinner so he could talk about his marriage. It was a stupid thing to do but to me that was not cheating nor was all of the time he spent working with the OW. It was clear that Rafe was oblivious to the OW wanting to be with him and trying to make that happen. Rafe was not physically attracted to the OW and never touched her inappropriately and seemed applauded by the idea. Rather he was 100% obsessed and attracted to Tayna and when he got jealous it lead to hot sexy times.

I liked that Tanya finally stood up to Rafe and left him. He felt like he was losing her and that was the best thing that happened to him and their marriage. He needed the wake up call to see how much he was hurting her and to realize how much he loved her. By the end of the story, that included an epilogue a year in the future, I believed their HEA.
I am very satisfied with the condition the book arrived.
The only thing I would warn readers about this book is that there is a part in the book where the H forces himself on the h. It is an 80's -ish book so it is defiantly romanticized. The h even enjoying it. What I liked about the book was that the h was strong without coming of as a witch. She stood her ground and was not swayed by the H making everything better with just sex as is so typical in HP romance books. The H was also very likable. He made mistakes but you never doubted his love for the h. Overall, it was a very enjoyable read.
A story of Tanya and Rafe. She gave up her job with no qualms to take care of his home and him. He started treating her as a possesion only wanted in bed. He did not want her to know anything about his business life that was for his PA. The beaking point came when he chose his PA over his wife and she left. In true Emma Darcy fashion she gives Tanya enough backbone to face Rafe as an equal not to be tampled on. I enjoyed this story and it will be read again. Loved seeing a strong woman not breaking for the man she loves.
The honeymoon was over. Rafe had wanted Tanya the moment he saw her. When he proposed, she'd been deliciously happy - happy to give up her job without a second thought, and devote herself to decorating their beautiful new home in Sydney's most prestigious neighborhood. She hadn't realized then that the only intimacy he wanted with her was in their bed. Rafe put business - including his cool blond personal assistant - first. Tanya was not about to spend the rest of her life waiting for a man who thought another woman was more important than his wife. The honeymoon was over. The marriage was at the breaking point.

I liked this book, but thought the plot was a little bit weird. However, everything else the has, good chemistry and good dialogue wins out. I definitely recommend reading it.
