Synopsis
Clay Maxwell is a
smart, quick witted, sex-driven, manwhore with the good looks to match. Plenty
of women have shared his bed, but only one has ever been constant, Andrea.
Their rules were simple. When they’re together, it’s just the two of them. When they’re apart, anything is fair game. And it worked. For ten years.
But one of them has changed the game…
Clay must decide if his player ways are worth losing the one girl who has always been there.

What I Loved
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on
this book!! Clay has always fascinated me because of the sparks between him and
Liz as well as his weird relationship with Andrea, so to say I was ecstatic
when Struck from the Record was released is an understatement. When things were heating up between Brady and
Liz, Clay was there to liven things and hit on Liz whenever he got the chance,
which kept me wondering; what kind of deal do Clay and Andrea have going on
here? Well I’m glad to say that in the very beginning that burning question was
answered and definitely made things interesting in a very good way!
The story begins
after Liz and Brady’s engagement and with Clay’s clerkship with the Supreme
Court winding down. Obviously Clay has
some big decisions to make when it comes to his career and as the plot
progresses we see that Andrea isn’t happy with the way things have been going
between them for the past ten years either.
Which I don’t blame her, the fact that she put up with him for ten years
makes that woman a saint and for me that’s probably why I felt in love with her
and made her relatable. I was iffy about
her from the previous books but once I got her decisions and where she was coming
from I was to really like her and understand her.
Clay’s enigmatic personality drew me
in immediately and kept my attention the entire time. I hated how quickly I was reading but I
couldn’t put the book down because this hot sexy man had taken over my
brain! There are so many sides to this
dude, and I knew from the previous books that I had just skimmed the surface of
what makes Clay tick. I love his
flirtatiousness, how he makes people laugh, how he can be a total goof one
minute then a true romantic the next. If
anyone goes through the biggest character shift, it’s Clay hands down. His relationship with Andrea takes a huge
turn which throws him into a tailspin that has him questioning everything about
himself. I enjoyed watching him struggle
to put the pieces of his life back together and woo the woman he’s been in love
with since he was a kid.
Not So Much
What I loved most about Clay from the other
books was how playful he was with Liz and the other people around him. He always had this personality that kind of
drew people in and made you laugh and blush and just want more. But in this book we don’t get to see a ton of
that and I wish it was there a little more.
I get that him and Andrea are going through some major changes in their
lives and this book is about him taking his life more seriously for once, I
just wish we got see more of that Clay I loved than just a passing glance.
To Sum It All Up!
I absolutely love this series, and
although this story focuses around Clay and Andrea big things happen with the
side characters, especially with Liz and Brady.
I’m not going to say what, but I will say I had happy tears in my eyes. As well as the plot being set up for Savannah’s
story in Broken Record, which let me say I can’t freaking wait for! Struck for the Record had a ton going on, it
was a plot filled with so much emotion and chemistry that I couldn’t get enough
of it. I love the Maxwell family and to
see all of them progress and grow has truly been amazing!
