A girl running from the past. A rock star with no future. Can marriage save them both?

When Lucy Meyer finds a hole-in-the wall record store in the middle of Brooklyn, she expects to have a quiet afternoon surrounded by the rock history culture she loves. Instead, she meets Jack Hunter, a has-been rock star who is now known more for his insane antics and bad reputation than his music.

As Jack's record label puts pressure on him, his PR team tells him to find a wife to change the public's perception of him from "insane drunken buffoon" to "romantic musician with a heart of gold." When he runs into Lucy a few days later, the idea of a marriage of convenience suddenly becomes very appealing - if he can talk her into it.

Featuring one badly-behaved rock star, one neurodivergent expert on rock history, and seven sassy siblings, Broken Records tells Jack and Lucy's story as they realize that their staged relationship may be what helps them learn how to trust, live, and love again.

What readers are saying about Broken Records:

"This is Bree Bennett's debut novel and it was absolute gold! Imagine the best parts of the movies A Star is Born and Almost Famous turned into an even better romcom." Amanda, GoodReads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"This is the story I had no clue I needed in my life. Lucy is a tad off kilter, a lot dented from something she should never have had to live through, and thoroughly wonderful...I cannot express enough just how fantastic this book was. It doesn't shy away from the awkwardness or the "different" way Lucy is wired. It doesn't let Jack ramble along with zero depth. Instead, it introduces readers to the heart of so many things and builds a world I definitely want more time in." Jenn, GoodReads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"This novel was stunningly beautiful and charmingly perfect. I was swept immediately into the story, I laughed, I teared up, my heart felt full and overall this book felt like a comforting hug." Jocelyn, GoodReads Reviewer⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I didn't want this book to be over because the relationships and environments Bree creates are just so comfortable and lovely - from the NYC dive bars to the farmhouse fireplace. Jack and Lucy are so charmingly, neurotically themselves that their love is so natural and believable. Ending this book felt like the end of a weekend with friends - slightly sad for it to be over but with a heart ready to burst with love." Stella, GoodReads Reviewer⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Lucy and Jack are adorable, hot, swoony AF, and I just want to hug them! Lucy's past and neuro-diverseness combined with Jack's past and mania make for a story that is so endearing...and gah, Jack and Lucy's relationship! Their ability to learn, forgive, and work together. Holy moly! It was everything! The whole thing was heart-warming AF and I can't wait for more!" ClosetRomanceAddict, GoodReads Reviewer⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"From page one, you are drawn into Jack and Lucy's story. It's original, funny, and tender. And you can't help but wish an aging rock star would serenade you." Greta, GoodReads Reviewer⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I swooned, I "awwwwww"ed, and I snorted with laughter more times than I can count.Trust me, you need a little Jack and Lucy in your life right now. Definitely worth the time. Good writing, and good vibes at the end. " Amazon Review⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
