This is the story of Axel and Payton, a porn star and a woman looking to break into porn. There is a lot of explicit sex, both consensual and nonconsensual. Underneath the sex is a very sweet love story.

Breaking the Girl by M.C. Webb
Alex Stone is a star maker – well, of women that want to make it in the adult movie industry, that is. He has made it big in the industry and knows what it takes to be a star but is jaded, tired and ready to get out completely when he is talked into taking on the training of Payton. Payton needs money and feels that without an education or real skills her best chance is to be in the movies, porn movies. As jaded as Alex is he sees right through Payton’s naiveté and tries to dissuade her from pursuing what she seems to think will make her life more secure.
Payton and Alex had secrets and issues to deal with. Alex came across cold at points but did warm up and grow through the story. Payton really did have a one track mind that did not allow her to really see what her future would be if she continued on the course she set for herself.
This is a dark, gritty, sometimes painful read with graphic scenes that include a disturbing rape and violence. That said, this is a book that made me care not only for Payton and Alex but also for the supporting characters. It made me feel and think and hope that the two would find a healthy way forward with their lives. And, I am now VERY curious about Alex’s friend Reece and wonder if he might show up in a future book – I would definitely like for him to ;)
Thank you to NetGalley and Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) for the copy of this book. This is my honest review.

A very sad and interesting take on the adult film industry. At first, I had a hard time connecting with the story but as the story progressed and I started getting the backstories of both Axel and Payton, that changed. This might not be a conventional love story but it was love all the same.
