Break Me by Autumn Stark*was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest reviewBREAK ME is the debut, erotica novel by Autumn Stark. For a first novel, it was not bad. I was excited about the story line and it sounded very interesting with a new twist, which I am always looking for.  Abigail Stevens, Abby, and Anthony Tate, Tony, have been working and traveling together for four years. You get the feeling that Tony is kind of a Nicholas Sparks kind of writer and Abby, who is his editor, has been in love with him from the very beginning. One day Tony and his “crazy” girlfriend break up and Abby steps in to fulfill Tony’s appetite for sex.As far as the sex scenes, they are a little crude for my taste and even though Abby loves Tony, it is not really reflected until the very end.  I just could not really connect with these two. Abby was such a doormat and Tony was an arrogant back end.  I mean, I get a no strings attached relationship but there were already lots of strings. I wanted to know more about the characters and their reasons why they were doing what they were doing. I got Abby’s motivation to some degree but I just missed Tony’s motivation completely.  I kept reading, hoping I would like them and in the end, it was better.Autumn Stark has great potential and I could see where she was trying to go. However, the story was slow when I wanted it to pick up and fast where I wanted it to slow down. It just seemed rushed at the end.  I loved the secondary characters. Abby’s brothers are great and so is her best friend.  I loved them the most and connected with them.  Again, for a first novel, it was not bad and I would read more by Autumn Stark.BREAK ME by Autumn Stark Receives 3 out of 5 PLATYPIRES!!!TEXAS HUGS and HAPPY READING!!!
