litandknits 's review for:

Heartbreak for Hire by Sonia Hartl
3.0

This book felt like “what if that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Susan Sarandon movie was a romance novel but with more infuriating characters and a hint of First Wives Club and a dash of Charlie’s Angels.”

The chemistry between Brinkley and Mark is delicious, but the external conflicts driven by secondary characters made me want to throw the book. A late plot twist is completely unbelievable if you know anything about academia and informed consent for studies, and the thread of parental alienation was over the top for me.

A solid read overall, but a 3.5 stars for me.
