Helpful Score: 3
Broken by Megan Hart is a contemporary erotica story. Sadie is a dedicated psychologist married to her first love Alex who was paralyzed in a skiing accident. Joe is a man, whom Sadie meets on the first Friday of each month for lunch and a story of one of Joes conquests.
This story is a heart-wrenching tale of a woman committed to her husband, but yearning for emotional and physical intimacy. She lives vicariously through the stories Joe tells during their lunches. The author does a fabulous job developing her characters and as a reader you are submersed in the thoughts and emotions of her characters. You laugh with Sadie as she laughs at Joe, you cry with Sadie as her desperation for a physical connection becomes palpable.
The individual tales Joe tells are scorching and add the erotic element to the novel, but are far from being the focal point of the story. I felt this was a very realistic portrayal of a woman in an untenable situation doing all she can to be true to her love, but crying out for any form of intimacy. Broken is a must read.
