Heartbreak for Hire
by Sonia Hartl
"Dealing with the male ego was a lot like painting." From the first sentence, I was anticipating what was to come. I love a good hook!
Brinkley tackles egos for a living, hired to humiliate or take down men who have taken advantage of women through various relationships. She's personally motivated by grudges she holds from her past. When her boss introduces men to the work environment, Brinkley and her counterparts aren't ready for the change, but maybe it's what they need to finally move on from their own heartaches.
I had high expectations heading into this read. I love the cover and summary so much. I think the storyline is fun and entertaining but rather abrupt in some aspects. The transitioning from calm to heated or a casual conversation to steam was like zero to sixty. I felt like I'd been leaning on a door eavesdropping only to have it flung open and leaving me to fall crashing to the floor. The resolution for misunderstandings was rather quick as well between characters.
Ultimately, it has a lot of great moments. I could see it being a five star read had those moments been more subtle. Brinkley's swings from hot to cold and back lacks a thread of believability for me.
Thank you to Gallery Books and NetGalley for the advanced copy. All thoughts in this review are my own.
