Breaking the Girl by M.C. Webb – Review by Jenni Bishop

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Breaking the Girl by M.C. Webb is an unconventional dark romance and definitely not your usual romance story, as it shows the very real, very seedy and very dark side of the adult film industry world. Nothing is sugarcoated, what the women who enter into this kind of life are subjected to, how truly bad the industry is towards them and what happens to the women themselves, is all laid bare. It was actually refreshing to read a romance with something a little different but hard on your emotions.

This story is centered around Payton and Axel who come from very different lives but yet have so much in common. When their worlds collide, nothing good can come from it, can it?

Axel has given up on the industry that has made him into a soulless and empty shell of himself. He is tired of the life he has lived. So tired of the drugs, booze and the meaningless sex. Tired of the manipulation of the people he works for. Train them and hand them over, they know what they are getting into. Train them and hand them over, I get my money. Train them and hand them over, show no emotions, emotions are a thing of the past. Rules are never broken.

Payton is homeless and desperate. So desperate that when she is approached by a stranger with a proposition she can’t turn down, she decides to take him up on his offer. An offer to be trained by the best in the adult film industry, so she can get the money she so desperately needs. But is selling your soul worth more than your need for the money?

I love M.C. Webb’s writing style and the picture she paints of the characters and their world. I recommend this book to anyone who loves dark romance. I will be reading other books by this author.

Breaking the Girl: A Dark Suspense Romance by M.C. Webb – Review by Jana Teppih

Breaking the Girl is my first read by M. C. Webb. She hooked me from the first page – “You are a salesman. You have to sell yourself within a few seconds or people get bored”. This quote could no doubt be used to reference M.C. Webb as her job as a writer is to hook me (the reader)!
It was an unusual and unexpected love story between a porn star (Alex) who makes x-rated movies for https://www.watchmygf.xxx/ and a girl looking to be trained by him (Payton). The story was an emotional rollercoaster that at times was disturbing to read (there is a graphic rape scene towards the end of the book so if that is something of a trigger, please take care and be prepared). This story got to me on so many levels, one would say how can you relate to the story but you need to remember that this story is about people, people who have their painful pasts that have molded them to who they are today aka where we start in the story.
There are other impressively written characters in this story and that adds to the different layers and are vital to the story and in us understanding Alex and Payton. I loved M. C. Webb’s writing style very much, I had no issues to follow the story line, I loved how it went from Alex’ point of view to Payton’s and vice versa. For a while there I was not sure if there will be a Happily Ever After ending but in the end, the characters pulled through and as Alex says himself, “Although we are not a traditional love story, we are a love story.” I will go back to this writer for some more stories!
