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?

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.

I would want to read this book just for the cover alone!
Pamela Clare is one of my favorite authors! I love her I-Team series and her historicals. Would love to win this one!
I really like the A-Team too. Tears of the Sun is really good too. I also enjoyed Taken but that isn’t military that is CIA.
I love Pamela’s books! I am currently working my way through the I Team series and am loving every minute of it, hot, hot hot!!
I tend to side on the romantic so Richard Gere in An Officer and A Gentleman first comes to mind.
Love Pamela Clare! My favorite military movie would have to be Top Gun…love old school Tom Cruise!
Have to agree that winning would make it an awesome weekend :). I love the blurb and excerpts I’ve read, can’t wait to read.
this book sounds great! and the cover! o wow! forget the book, can i have him? lol thanks!
Love love love Pamela Clare!! The yummy covers don’t even do justice to the hottness inside the pages 😉
But I’d have to say, A-Team is one of my favorite movies of all time. I kind of feel the urge to watch it again tonight.
I love the the KGI series by Maya Banks and the Elite ops series by Lora Leigh if we are talking books.
If we are talking movies I would have to say Transformers. I know it is not all military but there is some in there and well Josh Duhamel is delicious!
Always wanted to read this book sounds so good! Thank you so much for the great giveaway!
I love Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. Just a regular guy doing what needs to be done…
The excepts are killing sounds like another great read would love to win
LOL! The A-Team was always a treat! As for current favorite? I do like Suz Brockmann’s SEALs!
this is one of the hottest book covers this year. I love a good romantic suspense story with a hot hero! Military Seals are my favorites
This series is another winner. Really want this one to come to me soon
I never really cared for A-Team…but I still love Top Gun to this day! Poor Goose!
The cover of Breaking Point is Amazing! I would want to read this book just for the cover it is so hot!
I have been dying to get my hands on this book!
I’m all about the hot eye candy on the cover, yumm 🙂 Funny you should mention the A team, I was all about the A team growing up. It was actually my step brother’s favorite t.v. show and when he would get home from school he would take over the t.v. I use to grumble about it, until I became hooked myself, so much so I was convinced I was going to marry Mr. T. and become Jolene T. lol, seriously I did.
Winning this book would just make my week-end memorable!!
I am at a loss for words after looking at this cover and that is quite a feat!
If the book is anything remotely like the cover, it will sizzle in my hands and push me to the breaking point if I don’t have a copy.
I love military heroes and to pick just one I would say Mark Harmon in NCIS! Gorgeous cover!
Love that cover! I have this book on my list of ones I want!!!
If I have to pick a movie it would be Top Gun
If it were a TV series I’d choose NCIS or JAG
And yes, the cover for breakig point is sexy!!!
I love the A-team too.
that is 1 man, i would like to clean :)))
wondering, did the seals big wonderful win, make hero more in demand?
I really liked Pearl Harbor. Plus, Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett were hot in that movie, LOL.
I have to say I’ve read a few books with military heroes. My favorite military movie of all time would have to be Pearl Harbor, although I am not sure if that can count as military.
I love NCIS and try not to miss any episodes. I even watch the reruns..lol.. I did watch the A-Team but that was a while ago..This sounds like a great action book.
I absolutely LOVE this cover and have been dying to read it!
I loved Top Gun and think I wore out the VHS growing up I watched it so many times. Back in the day when Tom Cruise was cool. LoL
love the cover congrats on teh book love men in uniform whooo what a great day
This look like a great book!! I love the cover!!
My favorite military show will probably always be MASH(the tv series). I grew up watching it and even though I have seen them all, I still laugh out loud at many of the episodes.
I can’t wait to read this book. I just love the cover! My favorite military movie is Tropic Thunder.
Wow, love the cover!
Suz Brockmann’s Tall Dark and Dangerous Seals, Those were the first military heroes and first contemporary romance that I have ever read
Oh I so want this book!! My fave miltary movie was The Marine starring Mr John Cena 🙂
I would love to win this book. A great author with really great reads!!
My favourite military movies is Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett. Love the old glamour present in the movie and these two heartthrobs make it understandable how the heroine could have been swayed.
What a delicious cover! I could stare at it for long minutes. 🙂
Thank you for the great giveaway!

This author is on my to read list. I love hot military men;)
I absolutely live the cover. Who doesn’t love a man with honor and integrity!
Your book sounds great. Right now I am reading Stephanie Tyler’s Promises In The Dark. The exNavy SEAL is hot-Zane is a character that holds your interest and makes you want to meet him in the dark of night in your own bedroom.
I love NCIS. I never miss any episode!
LOVE the cover!! WOW….
Okay, so I can’t believe I’m going to admit this on a public forum but one of my favorite military-ish movies is In the Army Now w/Pauly Shore. I love humor and idiocy and this movie is full of both.
Favorite military show: Tie between MASH and NCIS.
Favotire military hero: He doesn’t star in any book, tv show, or movie–He’s my dad. A proud Marine that served in Viet Nam.
