Who would have thought that a contemporary romance was exactly what I needed right now. Not any contemporary romance though; Just this book. Broken has everything I enjoy in a romance. Plus it was about musicians. Helloѓ?Э. Sasha Marshallѓ?Э. Thank you for writing my ultimate wish fulfilment book. Itѓ??s like she dipped into younger Maxineѓ??s brain and took out all my favourite things.

Henley Hendrix is a rock goddess, women want to be her and men want to fuck her. She is slaying the music scene with her band Abandoned Shadow. She rose to fame as a guitar prodigy and while she came from music royalty, she has earned her position. Along with best friend Caleb she has been touring since she was 16. She is close with her family and friends and headlines tours with her brothers band, Broken Access.
Everything changes one night when Caleb and Henley are in a horrific car accident. For four years she hides from the world until her brother, Koi, and his band mates Jagger, Kip and Cam ask her to be their photographer on tour and she goes back on the road. Not quite herself, but more so than in a long while.

Maybe its because I always wanted to be a rock star (Iѓ??ve never even tried to play an instrument though haha) but this book had me completely sucked in from the first page. The fact that itѓ??s Henleyѓ??s story and not one of the boys just pulled me in even more. This book wrapped itѓ??s pages around my heart. I laughed my arse off, I cried buckets full of tears and I couldnѓ??t get enough. I have been fangirling over this book for the last 24 hours. As soon as I finished it, I jumped onto Amazon to grab the rest of the seriesѓ?Э If you guessed that I canѓ??t get them as they havenѓ??t been rereleased yet, you are right. Fucking devastated.

This does follow a similar formula to a lot of other romance books, but it still had me engaged. The writing and the detail to the music lifestyle was awesome. The use of social media articles was fantastic and really showed just how fucked up the media can be, how people lie and use just to get a story. When tragedy happens a lot of media outlets forget about the people involved they want people watching, they will show a smashed up car and people grieving just to try to get viewers. Just because a person is famous apparently it means they donѓ??t get any privacy, they arenѓ??t allowed to be people.

Henley as a main character was a breath of fresh air. How fantastic is it to have a female character completely comfortable with her body, a woman who is comfortable having sex with whomever she wants, whenever she wants. Completely unapologetic. It is so fucking refreshing to have an author break the ѓ??guy is super experienced, yet the girl is a virgin, or has only slept with one personѓ?ќ trope. So refreshing. She is just a decent chick who happens to take no prisoners. She has always had a temper and hated when she was told itѓ??s a boy thing. She can do it to and so she does.

The romanceѓ?Э Oh the sweet romance. And the sexy timesѓ?Э Hell Yes to the well written sexy times.

If you are a lover of contemporary romance, you need to get your butt into gear and read this book. 1. because itѓ??s awesome and you will love it, and 2. So we can swoon together and fangirl and talk about how excited we are for the rest of the books.

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

One more thing. This book has the most beautiful dedication, which I feel like might be a reason the book is able to capture so much real and raw emotion. Make sure you donѓ??t skip over it.
