Heartbreak for Hire by Sonia Hartl

3.0

3.5 - This is a fast, funny, at times ridiculous but also poignant enemies to lovers, slow burn open door romance between two reluctant co-workers who have LOADS of chemistry! Brinkley is an aspiring artist who got dumped badly and found new confidence working as a heartbreaker for a company that seeks revenge on men who have treated women horribly. When Mark, one of her former targets gets hired by her employer, the two are forced to work together and the sparks start to really fly. While Brinkley begins to question the ethics of what she does and find the courage to open her own art studio, she also has to deal her disapproving mother, who wanted her to stay on the academic career track. Mark on the other hand wants nothing more than to find tenure at a University and will go to any lengths to achieve this goal, ultimately leading to a betrayal that will jeopardize their HEA.

I liked this one but didn’t love it. I wanted to get inside Mark’s head more - he was just a bit too one dimensional for my tastes and I had a hard time forgiving him for what he did. Recommended for those that enjoy their romance with lots of humor, heavy steam, and can appreciate a hot guy in a sweater vest. For fans of other enemies to lovers office romances like The hating game, Shipped or The Ex-talk.
