My Breaking Dragon Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
Breaking Dragon by Jordan Marie is the first book in the Savage Brothers MC series. It centers on Detroit "Dragon" West, the president of the Savage Brothers MC—a man shaped by a brutal past and fiercely loyal to his club. Dragon exists in a world of survival until Nicole, a woman with her own baggage, crashes into his life. Nicole moves to London, Kentucky, looking for a fresh start. She finds herself drawn to Dragon and his dangerous world after a chance gas station encounter leads to sparks—and trouble. Passion, loyalty, and secrets ignite as Nicole and Dragon’s fast-paced relationship collides with MC drama, outside threats, and the hard choices they both must make about trust, love, and belonging. This is an adult romance full of danger, passion, and second chances on the edge of chaos.
Why I Love This Book
I love the wild, gritty energy of this book. Dragon is everything I want in an MC hero—fierce, flawed, possessive, and real. Nicole isn’t just a pushover; she’s stubborn, determined, and brings her own fire to every page. The instant chemistry between them lit up the story, pulling me into their world and making me believe in the kind of love that fights, claws, and clings even when it gets messy.
What stands out most is the emotion beneath all the grit. The writing doesn’t shy away from the tough parts—addiction, rough upbringings, and the shadows that come with MC life. Still, there’s softness where it counts: vulnerability, laughter, steamy moments, and the feeling that two broken people really can find something worth fighting for. I was hooked by the back-and-forth tension: Nicole makes Dragon work for it, and the dialogue is as sharp as the danger edging the plot.
The book is raw and packed with twists—there’s no glossing over the MC world, just enough sweetness to balance the grit, and a found family vibe that left me wanting to read more of this series. The side characters add color and depth without overcrowding Nicole and Dragon’s story. I loved every wild, passionate page.
Who Will Like This Book
If you love MC romance with alpha male leads, stubborn heroines, and a rough–but–loyal family dynamic, you’ll fall for this book. It’s a hit for fans of dark, emotional romance where broken people carve out their own happy-ever-after through fire. There are high levels of sexual tension, violence, dominance, and explicit scenes—so if you want soft or "fade-to-black," look elsewhere. If you like danger, drama, and steamy open-door scenes, jump in.
⚠️ Trigger warning: The book deals with addiction, child neglect, violence, dominance, and explicit sexual content. There are moments of emotional and physical aggression in relationships, so please approach with care if those themes are difficult for you.
