Beautiful Broken by Nazarea Andrews
University of Branton, #2
October 2013
BOOK SUMMARY:
She's been broken by her past. He's
been breaking for as long as he can remember.
Together, they can make each other
whole--or destroy each other.
When his best friend asks for
something, Dane rarely says no. But babysitting a newly sober Scout Grimes for
three weeks isn't exactly a normal request. And with their history, it's a
recipe for disaster. Not to mention, she's drop dead gorgeous and he can't
touch her.
There are few people Scout trusts as
much as Dane Guillot. He's always been her safe place, where nothing can hurt
her. He's also been the only man she's never let herself want--screwing up
their friendship isn't worth one amazing night together.
They have too much history, and too
much personal baggage to ever work. But if they are willing to take a chance on
love--it might be worth the risk.

Playlist:
American Beautiful by The Henningsens—So. Funny
story. I’d been listening to this for about two weeks, and loving how it
reminded me of Dane and Scout, as people even if not the story. And then, the
album cover popped up from one of my college girlfriends on facebook and I
stared at the dude on it and realized—holy crap, we went to school together.
So. That was a weird thing.
Bad Girlfriend by Theory of A Deadman—there’s a
scene in this book—actually, two—that really screamed this song. There were
some of my favorite to write. If you’ve read the book and want to guess which
ones, I’d love to hear what you think!
Red by Taylor Swift—I loved this song for the way
Scout felt about Dane over the course of time. And also—driving a Maserati down
a dead end street.
Arms by Christinia Perri—It was just gorgeous and
sweet and perfect for the softer, tender moments. It also speaks to how much
neither of them expected this from each other. The line ‘how many times will
you let me change my mind…I can’t decide if I’ll let you save my life or if
I’ll drown.’ Screams Scout.
Crush by David Archuleta—This was actually
suggested by one of my readers as Dane’s theme song and I really liked it, so
we kept it around.
Better Than Me by Hinder—This really hit me as
Dane, just all of it. He is such a messed up headcase but he wants the best for
Scout—even if that means someone better than him.
Photograph by Nickelback—There was a lot of
memories built into this book. A lot of history between Dane and Scout. This
song reminds me of history—good and bad—so it was one I listened to a lot.
