REVIEW:  BROKEN RECORD is the fifth instalment in KA Linde’s contemporary, adult RECORD erotic, romance series. This is basketball star Lucas Atwood, and journalism graduate Savannah Maxwell’s story line. BROKEN RECORD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Savannah is Brady Maxwell’s sister (Record #1-3).

Told from dual third person perspectives (Savannah and Lucas) BROKEN RECORD follows the life-long friends to frenemies to lovers relationship between basketball star Lucas Atwood, and journalism graduate Savannah Maxwell. Savannah and Lucas have been best friends for most of their lives but four years earlier Lucas professed his love for his best friend but Savannah feared losing said best friend if things didn’t work out. Going to different colleges meant meeting new people, wherein Savannah will find herself falling in love with someone else. But graduation season meant coming face to face with one another only to discover their back and forth, tempestuous relationship hid a profound love neither one was willing to admit. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and romance between Savannah and Lucas, and the potential fall-out as jealous, anger and their mutual history of pushing away one another may be a wall too tall to overcome.

Savannah Maxwell thought she had found love but seeing Lucas Atwood brought back too many memories of what was and what may never be. Lucas has never stopped loving Savannah Maxwell, the young woman raised to be a politician’s wife, but a woman whom Lucas wanted more than anyone else.

The relationship between Savannah and Lucas is a friends to lovers, a second chance of sorts between two stubborn and petulant people unable to let go of the past. Savannah struggles between head and heart, and Lucas battles his desire for a woman who is currently with someone else. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Savannah’s brothers Clay and Andrea (Struck from the Record #4), Brady and his wife Liz (Record #1-3), Dylan Gonzalez, her new co-worker at The Washington Post; Savannah’s soon to be ex-boyfriend Easton, and her parents Senator Jeff and Marilyn Maxwell; and Lucas’s brother Chris.

BROKEN RECORD is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love.The character driven premise is fast paced and engaging; the characters are colorful, energetic and lost; the romance is seductive. BROKEN RECORD is an emotional and captivating addition to KA Linde’s RECORD series.
