This isn’t the man she married…

Jenny Buchanan never considered what “for better or for worse” meant when she married Adam Buchanan at nineteen. Six years and two little boys later, “for worse” arrives in the form of a tornado that ravages Slippery Rock and injures Adam. Now he’s a stranger to his family…and love won’t be enough to bring him back.

Only when Jenny asks him to move out does Adam become the husband she needs…but Adam isn’t the only one who’s changed. As their attraction sparks back to life, Jenny and Adam must learn what it is to grow up—and grow together—before this small-town breakup lasts forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read

The million dollar question : Can they get back what they had before the accident or better?

Adam's anger and giving up in his heart is very well written.
Jenny's despair , as also her anger is understandable .

Also like in many marriages where the couple marry very young ... they are also growing up. Same here. The sge old man's place woman's place is i olsy thru' the marriage. Adam is happy and breezing thru'. Without consciously realising it, Jenny is resenting the little things.

Everything comes to a head a few months after the accident which has left Adam with epilepsy and wheelchair bound.

The struggle to try to make it work is what the story is about. Beautifully written. The effects on the entire fsmily is beautifully written, especially the kids.

The steps forward , the steps backward and finally tbe realisation of what they really want.

Loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't help it I absolutely love every single visit I make to this town
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017
Breakup in a Small Town is the third book in the Slipper Rock series by Kristina Knight. I can't help it I absolutely love every single visit I make to this town. I don't know what it is but Kristina always blows me away. Jenny and Adam's story is no different. This couple has been through so much and this has caused a rocky marriage.

Jenny has tried to be there for Adam since his accident but his attitude is becoming more than she can handle. She can no longer endure the daily struggle of being treated unfairly. She understands that Adam has been through Haiti and back but she would love nothing more than to be able to see the man she fell in love with again.

Adam knows he has been a bear to deal with since his accident. His life completely changed in one moment though. He knows he needs to get his act together because he is pushing everyone around him away. Can he change things before he looses his life forever?

4.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to read at times, but oh so good...
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2017
I knew Adam and Jenny's story was going to be tough to read, and I wasn't wrong. Seeing them be all happy and married in much of book one ( Famous in a Small Town ) and then him nearly dying in the tornado and then his bitterness and their distance from each other in book two ( Rebel in a Small Town ) was difficult enough--seeing things from their perspectives, though? Was sure to be even harder.

And it was...and wasn't.

It was a relief to see the reasons behind what they were doing, even when I didn't agree with them--and there were parts that I strongly disagreed with. Why couldn't they just see that they still had a life, a future together? That she wasn't pitying him, and that Jenny and the kids didn't "deserve" better? Couldn't she see that Adam really was trying?

This book was hard to read, but rewarding at the same time, because Adam and Jenny do (eventually--talk about waiting until the last minute; argh!) figure it out. And watching two people who have been together forever but are just finally figuring out how to really be together at last makes for one heck of a story. I'm really looking forward to seeing them together again in future series books, as they continue to work their way through being a stronger, better family together :)

Breakup is the third book in the series, and though you do have enough background here for it to work okay as a standalone, it will have a lot more impact if you've read the first two books first and have seen this one coming up in the rearview. Plus, the first two books a great stories in their own right, so you'll be doing yourself an extra-special favor by reading them all. ;)

Rating: 4 stars / B+

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful scenery, and people you'd want for neighbors
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017
Excuse me while I disappear for a couple weeks; I'll be binge-reading the rest of this series. Wow! I've always been a Kristina Knight fan, but this book blew me out of the water. The "small town" in her books' titles is it's own character, with vivid locals, beautiful scenery, and people you'd want for neighbors. I haven't read many romances where the main couple is already married and going through marital problems, mostly because I get so sad in those books: the couple's troubles usually stem from internal conflict such as selfishness, lack of loyalty, etc. While Jenny and Adam certainly have their share of some of these issues, it's the very real impetus of tragedy that brings them to light. As a married person myself, I can see the possibility of Jenny and Adam around the slightest misfortunate corner, which puts the reader (in this case, me) solidly rooting for them from Chapter One. I just devoured this book, and everytime I had to put it down, I couldn't wait to get back to it. Loved it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can they ever get back what they had?
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2017
Turmoil and heartache snare our attention with this latest dip into Kristina Knight’s Slippery Rock series. If you’ve read the previous books, you will recognize Adam and Jenny and already be familiar with what happened to him. I was hooked on the story just from enjoying the series, but watching them fight for their relationship kept me even more enthralled. She was hard to like, but I enjoyed their story.

Jenny Buchanan thought she had a happy life until her husband was almost killed in the tornado that struck Slippery Rock. Now she’s living with a cold and bitter man who is nothing like the man she married, and it’s making her take a big look back at their life together in a way she never did. She’s seeing ways that she never spoke up for herself, and ways she settled instead of reaching for what she wanted.

Adam Buchanan is shocked out of his new life of anger and self-pity when his wife asks him to move out. She’s tired of living half a life with him and the man he has become since his injury. He knows in his heart that she deserves better than the life he’s left her with, but he can’t bring himself to leave and give up on what they have shared. Can changing his attitude and trying to find a way to cope with his illness make his wife fall back in love with him again?
