"BREAKING", by Claire Kent (the erotica pen-name of author Noelle Adams), is an 86 page follow-up novella to her 350+ page novel, "Escorted".  Xander and Lori are engaged; he is actively working archaeological sites for his doctoral dissertation and she is an award winning romance writer.  However, something has happened that has caused Xander to feel the detachment he did when he first met Lori - as a male escort hired to relieve her of her virginity.  This novella is about their continuing battle to find their way together through the minefield of their pasts.Claire Kent did another great job with this story.  Per the norm for her, this is erotic romance at its best.  Sex scenes are believable and very ~hot~, but even better, Ms. Kent allows the reader to get into Lori & Xander's minds and feel for them.  This could easily be read as a standalone story, but it would be better to read after having read "Escorted" - simply so you can understand why the "issue" that occurs in this novella is so debilitating to Xander.  It's nice to "catch up" with Lori and Xander and see that their relationship made it.
