Pamela Clare will push you to the BREAKING POINT Back to Blog
Update: The winner of BREAKING POINT is…Rachel Elizabeth! Congrats!!
Are you gearing up for a fun 4th of July weekend? You know what will make that weekend awesome? Winning a copy of Pamela Clare‘s BREAKING POINT. Oh, yes, that would make it awesome because the book is phenomenal.
Blurb:
While investigating border violence in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, Denver journalist Natalie Benoit is caught in a bloody ambush and taken captive. Alone in the hands of ruthless killers, she will need every ounce of courage she possesses to survive.
Betrayed by another operative, Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Zach McBride, a former Navy SEAL, has endured a week of torture and interrogation at the hands of a bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartel. Ready to give his life if he must, he remains unbroken—until he hears the cries of an American woman.
Although Natalie is only a voice in the darkness of their shared prison, her plight brings renewed strength to Zach’s battered body. With her help, he overpowers their captors, and they flee through the desert toward the border, the attraction between them flaring hotter than the Sonoran sun.
But past loss and tragedy leave both of them reluctant to follow their hearts, even when the passion between them reaches its breaking point. Faced with feelings neither expected, they fight to stay ahead of the danger that hunts them as forces more powerful than they can imagine conspire to destroy them both…

Doesn’t it sound like an exciting read? One sure to have you racing through the pages? You can enjoy fireworks this weekend and you can look forward to reading BREAKING POINT. Want to win? Then tell me what you about your favorite military hero book/story/movie. I’ll confess…I’m a sucker for the A-TEAM. Cause when you have a problem that no one can solve…you know who you need?
And, for your reading pleasure, here’s en excerpt from BREAKING POINT:
***
Zach hung limply from the manacles, unable even to hold up his head. His shoulders ached from supporting his dead weight, manacles biting into his bloody wrists. But none of that could compare to the residual pain of that last electro-shock. His muscles seized in sharp spasms, his heart slamming erratically in his chest, his body shaking, his mouth filled with the coppery taste of his own blood.
Don’t give in to the pain. Adjust for it.
He willed himself to relax, slowed his breathing.
Cold water splashed over his chest, making him jerk. It wasn’t to revive him, he knew, but to make his skin more conductive to electricity. He waited for the next blast of agony, but instead felt a glass bottle against his lips. A hand fisted in his hair, tilting his head back, and he swallowed, warm cola sliding down his raw, parched throat.
Electrolytes. Caffeine. Calories.
All would help him stay alive.
Then his tormenter spoke to him, as always in Spanish. “You are dying, cuñado. And for what? You are alone now, forgotten, left without even a dog to bark at you. Tell us who has the cocaine and where we can find them. Then your torment will end. There will be no more pain, only sleep.”
Zach fought off a wave of despair. “¡Vete a la verga!” Fuck off!
The bastard chuckled, but Zach knew he wasn’t really amused. They’d tried to break him and had failed. There’d be a price to pay when Cárdenas got the news.
Creaking hinges. Footsteps.
And Zach knew she was there. He could feel her presence, hear her rapid breathing. Hell, he could even smell her, something sweet in a world of filth.
Natalie.
“Tráela aquí.” Bring her over here.
What the hell?
Zach’s head came up. Somehow, he drew himself to his feet, his hands clenched around the chains for support, his heart thudding hard in his chest. Why had they brought her in here? Were they going to torture her to get to him?
Over my dead body.

The BREAKING POINT giveaway will run until noon on 6/29/11. Good luck!

AWWWW I have be DYING for this once since I read Carnal Gift…. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pamela Clare!
Unlawful contact started it all for me 🙂
I really like the Ready, Willing, and Able series.
I want this book! 😀
I love Pamela Clare’s books and would love to win a copy of this book.
I’ve wanted to read this book ever since I read the first excerpt a few weeks ago. I love Special Ops heroess. SEALs are especially hot. Having Jed Hill on your cover sure doesn’t hurt either. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love so many military inspired films and books that I can’t choose just one, although the ‘A’ Team is in the top ten (I even used the term ‘A’ Team as a collective name for my five children :D)
Just looking at the cover makes me want to read this book!..LOL
Wow!! That excerpt leaves you wanting more, I want this book
🙂 Ok to answer the question favorite military book from me would be Maya Banks KGI series.
I can’t tell you my favorite military hero book/story/movie. If I think books, I love so many it wouldn’t be right to call one above another. So I’ll go with the one I read last: PROMISES IN THE DARK by Stephanie Tyler.
That was a great blurb, and hot looking cover. Must confess have a soft spot for the A Team. Murdock was my favorite, appealed to my whacky side.
Having Jed Hill on the cover sure doesn’t hurt!
I, too, like the A-Team but I like the old TV series more. No body can best Mr. T! I pity the fool!
LOL, I want a t-shirt with that saying so badly…
Inglourious Basterds, does that count haha…pretty good movie 🙂
Okay I really want to read this book. I have not read anything by Pamela yet,but you can be sure I will now.
My favorite military type books has to be Lora Leigh’s ELITE OPS series. Those men and women are the best.
Behind Enemy Lines is one of my favorite military movies. I have not read any books by Pamela Clare, but I think this is the start of something new.
I loved that movie!
The Losers– if you all haven’t seen it you need to run out and rent it. OMG it is so sexy, and action filled. All the guys are HOT, HOT, HOT– my favorite action flick ever. It’s much like the A-Team but hotter:)
I’m just now getting into military romance, so I have a ton of catching up to do on the book front!
This book is on my wishlist. I love all the military heroes from JoAnn Ross’s HIGH RISS series and the men from Suzanne Brockmann’s TROUBLESHOOTERS series. Hot, hot, hot. For this book, Zach and Natalie sound like two people who’ve been through a lot and are emotional wrecks. I can’t wait for them to help each other get through it and for the sparks to fly. Ka-boom!
I meant to spell JoAnn Ross’s HIGH RISK series.
okay so, My favorite military book is Lora Leigh’s elite ops series
Love those!!
Breaking Point is a Keeper…It is on my shelf and I will read it again and again…
I love this series. The first book was hilarious when they were in the bar drinking. I could not stop laughing I ahd tears in my eyes and everything. I have to have this book and the guy on the cover is wow! 🙂
I would love to win this book. I have not read this series yet and what a perfect way to start!
Love tghe cover!
I absolutely love Pamela Clare! She’s so awesome! After reading these comments, I may have to check out Brockmann’s TROUBLESHOOTERS next!
I love Special Ops soldier books! Lately I’ve been enjoying Maya Banks KGI books. I think the one that started it for me was No Regrets by Shannon K Butcher, I wish there was more than 3 books in the series.
An alpha male soldier has no problem tearing me away from my first love – PNR!
I totally love A-Team (I mentioned them in an earlier comment). The TV show still makes me laugh but I also enjoyed the new movie.
mmmm..Favorite military something?? I would say all of our American Troops are my favorite.. They are out there for our nation..I would LOVE to read this book!
I love the ACRO series by Sydney Croft. It blends the paranormal and the military! Love it 🙂
I love those, too! I’m all about para+military blending!
My favorite military story is about the Kelly family in Maya Banks’ KGI series.
I’ve been looking into this author for some time.
Here’s another vote for the A-Team series!
Already got my copy of this book, but I just want to say I LOVE Pamela Clare! I’m looking forward to 4th of July weekend. I think we going to have a cook out 🙂
I love the whole Band of Brothers movies. Military movie that is the way to go. My husband would say Full Metal jacket but I think that is a guy thing.
Tough question…I have a soft spot for those kinds of things. But I love mercenary stories….love love love them! I need to check this series out…havent read that, but that cover is HAWT!
Happy Release Day, Cynthia! NEVER CRY WOLF looks like one super-hot summer read.
And good luck to everyone in the drawing! I’ve got a signed copy of Jed, er, BREAKING POINT sitting right here waiting to get into someone’s hands.
Thanks, Pamela! 🙂 You are so great to celebrate with me!
Military heroes are the ultimate alphas and are always fun to read about. Right now, I’m enjoying Maya Banks’ KGI series and would love to try Breaking Point.
I love miltary heroes. It’s much too hard to pick one favorite, but I agree A-Team is a nice miltary movie. Book-wise, Lora Leigh, Maya Banks, and Lisa Marie Rice write about some yummy military/ex-Special Forces heroes.
I have not had the chance to read anything by Pamela Clare but I have them on my wishlist. I have read both Stephanie Meyers and Maya Banks books and love Lora Leigh’s Seals and Elite Ops series and I love Cindy Gerards Black Ops books!
I adore Brockmann’s Troubleshooters/Seal Team Sixteen series. They are sexy men always willing to go the extra mile to help people.
I loved A team too. Love Face! Remember him. Sigh dreamy. lol
I have been wanting to read this book. LOVE the excerpt but what a tease lol
Lisa B
One of my favorite series is Brockmann’s Troubleshooters series. Let me just say that the cover for Breaking Point is smokin’ hot.
The A Team– yes! 🙂
I like Alison Kent’s SG-1 series.
A hot Navy Seal! Want! Love the Cover! it’s Hot!

I remember the original A Team series and loved watching it. Now though I enjoy NCIS and it’s spin-off NCIS Los Angeles.
Absolutely LOVE the cover!!! I think it would be awesome to win this book…just introduced to Pamela Clare’s writing and I am really enjoying the books that I have of hers. Would love to add this one to my collection.
Hi, Pamela ~
Great cover for Breaking Point and that excerpt…I can’t wait to read the whole thing!
Thanks to the throw-backs on Netflix, we’ve been watching Airwolf. Not bad graphics for its day, a hunky pilot, and a joke-cracking sidekick.
Wishing you lost of luck with this release ~

As a daughter of a WWII veteran and a mom to an Iraq veteran, any military sotry becomes my favorite until the next story.
Ummm…that’s LOTS of luck not lost luck.
Sheepishly,
TJ
I’m a fan of the NCIS series and I loved the Pat Tillman documentary The Tillman Story.
I could stare at this cover forever.I love Jed Hill 🙂
