Clean Break (Farm College #2) by Erin McLellan







Blurb

Connor’s To-Do List:
• Learn to accept my future on the family farm
• Be social, to a degree
• Make a secret bucket list
• Have a real conversation with Travis Bradford

Travis’s To-Do List:
• Get into my top law school
• Get the hell out of Elkville, Oklahoma
• Stay focused on my dreams and goals—no crushes, no distractions
• Get spanked by hot and perfectly fussy farm boy, Connor Blume

Travis and Connor do not like each other, but after being paired together in Entomology 101, their mutual hostility explodes into secret after-class hookups and unexpected feelings. With graduation looming near and their careers taking them in different directions, they’ll have to decide if a future together is worth adjusting their to-do lists and letting go of their carefully laid plans.


Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!


Erin McLellan's Clean Break is the second in the Farm College series. After loving book one, Controlled Burn, I was super excited to dive into this one.

And I love it! Travis and Connor are two complicated young men who are struggling with their feelings, their futures, and a major case of OCD.

Travis and Connor start as acquaintances who have some animosity between them. As they work together in class, they decide to pursue their mutual attraction. 

Connor's struggling with his future, as he's been destined to run his family farm since birth. Never given a choice in the matter, he's unable to pursue his own dreams. 

As for the relationship, they start off as make-out buddies, and as time goes on, it evolves to more, for both their bodies, minds, and hearts. Unfortunately their futures don't mesh. 

I enjoy the author's writing style, as well as her storylines, which take place in that all too important time in our lives, college to adulthood. I love the writing style, as well as the flow and tone.

Clean Break is an amazing tale with a whole lot of sexual tension and attraction. It's an emotional ride as they progress from make out buddies to more. And there's some kink involved, with a spectacular spanking scene.

Their relationship consists of lots of awkward moments, which are superbly written and very naturally fit. They have to deal with fears, doubts, and insecurities, as well as boundaries and mental issues. They struggle with secrecy and sneaking around. 


The OCD is superbly written, with a whole lot of knowledge, compassion, and care. I could the pain and suffering in every fiber of my being, as one of the men struggles with his obsessions. Knowing people who suffer immensely from this, my heart broke for him.  
One of my favorite lines is "...my invisible backpack feels a lot lighter around you." Cue swooning!  

Clean Break is a beautiful story of dealing with one's predestined gals aren't in alignment with ones own dreams.
