First and foremost, thanks so much to NetGalley and Gallery Books for sending me an early copy of Heartbreak for Hire for review— all opinions are my own.

Okay, here we fucking go! I loved this book! The premise of it is quite silly, actually, but also kind of hilarious and wonderful.


Brinkley is a totally normal, mess of a twenty-something year-old living in Chicago. She eats like trash, she drinks too much, she dresses her cats in funky sweaters, and she also happens to break hearts for a living. Typical millennial woman, right? All of this fucking the man without fucking the men (literally) is fine until she meets Mark, a target that she actually doesn’t hate, and that kind of reminds her of the past and also her future? But, oh, no! Now he works with her?! What the fuck will happen?

Their relationship is funny and sardonic. The steamy scenes are STEAMY, and the goal of HBH doesn’t seem to be what Brinkley and squad originally thought. Check it out on July 27th when it hits the shelves!

I loved the whole story, in fact, I devoured it. Definitely a 5 star review for me. Read a more in-depth review on my blog.

Fun and unique story line but I was not a fan of the explicit nature of the book. I wanted to like it more but I just couldn’t!

This story was such a light and heartfelt romcom, despite the "heartbreaking" plot focus! I enjoyed how it touched on career/work issues as well, including themes of respect, cutthroat academia, prestige, and more. So many cute and fun moments that discussed how women can be mistreated in the workplace, as well as believable chemistry between the two leads.

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for a generous advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Witty dialogue, a strong heroine along with other strong and dynamic female side characters. The deception will keep you turning the pages.

Heartbreak for Hire by Sonia Hartl is a book that gave me such a boost after reading some heavier topics. And, it's not that this one is a fluffy read. It's just that the writing has a buoyancy to it as we read about Brinkley Saunders and the other ladies at Heartbreak for Hire, who exact revenge on the troublesome men who derail women at work, cheat, and behave badly in other ways.

All is going well doing this undercover work until a series of events leads Brinkley's boss to bring in male heartbreakers, and Brinkley happens to have a past with one. Nightmare.

This is a great book for fans of Hannah Orenstein and Sally Thorne.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for sharing this book with me. all thoughts are my own.

Heartbreak for Hire by Sonia Hartl is the perfect rom-com for jilted relationships. Brinkley works for H4H, an undercover company of five women who work to give men a taste of their own heartbreak. Brinkley specializes in taking down men with large egos, which is when she meets Mark. Mark is the first "target" Brinkley has had that she lowers her guard and divulges truths of herself. Brinkley is attracted to Mark and feels he doesn't fit the stereotype of the men she typically meets on the job. But, her goal is to make enough money at H4H to open her own art gallery, so she buries her feelings for him. That is, until, the owner of H4H thinks men would help build their business and Mark is a new hire Brinkley is charged to train.

I loved the banter between Brinkley and Mark and Brinkley and her fellow H4H co-workers. There is more depth to this book than the average rom-com about being true to yourself and not following family expectations.

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for a digital ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I FLEW through this book. The concept of this book really intrigued me and I was sucked in from the first page. I liked the concept of the H4H business and loved the scenes from their missions and I really liked Brinkley as a character. Mark just seemed like such a nice and sweet guy and I loved learning more about his back story with his mom and sister. I just thought this was a fun book. Definitely some steamy scenes, but kind of less romance than anticipated definitely and emphasis on finding yourself and sticking up for what you want. Brinkley’s relationship with her mom was a little confusing at times, but I really liked the ending and thought it wrapped the book up well. Definitely a fun book for summer and just such a quick read with a very unique concept.

I LOVED this for many reasons:
- The overall storyline was very unique and led to a lot of fun antics while also touching on more serious topics.
- Chemistry between our MCs (Brinkley and Mark) was fantastic and they had such good banter all throughout the story - Mark definitely lit a spark within Brinkley and it was fun to watch their relationship develop from instant attraction to enemies to lovers.
- Underlying storyline between Brinkley and her mom added a lot of depth to the story that I appreciated and really had me feeling for Brinkley

Overall, I loved a lot about this and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a romcom with laugh-out-loud and swoon-worthy (and steamy!!) moments!

I honestly would love to get stories for the other girls who worked at Heartbreak For Hire with Brinkley -- Sonia Hartl... can we make this happen?!

Rating: 4.5 stars!

A new to me author. I found this book well done. I liked the plot and characters. I would recommend this author to others.

Enemies to lovers gets steamy in this one! Reeling from a bad breakup, Brinkley joins Heartbreak for Hire where she is in charge of putting jerks in their place for a price. Her latest target, Mark, has sparks flying until he shows up in the office as one of the new male heartbreakers.

I could not put this book down. The push and pull between Brinkley and Mark was so entertaining….and steamy! I’m a big fan of enemies to lovers and Heartbreak for Hire did not disappoint. Thank you Netgalley and Gallery Books for the eARC in exchange for my review.

The premise is what first drew me to this book. Can you imagine being able to hire a company to let’s say, put an egotistical colleague or a cheating ex in their place? I mean, I know a couple of people who could be brought down a peg or two but I don’t know if I would go through such lengths to extract my own revenge.

Anyway, putting aside my moral compass, this was a pretty entertaining read. It had the perfect amount steam and laugh out loud moments. I felt like there was a bit of unnecessary drama and some things were overly exaggerated. I loved the banter between the protagonist and her mom. This sounds silly but I’ll point it out anyway. The main character’s name is Brinkley and her mother is suppose to be this super serious professor but yet she names her daughter Brinkley? No offense to any Brinkley’s out there.

I’m getting off course here. Alright, back to my review. Overall it’s a cute read.

This book was fun, flirty and different than other contemporary romance books I’ve read. I loved the dynamics between the two main characters, Brinkley and Mark, and the concept of hiring a service to put bad men in their place. I do feel like the ending was a bit rushed and wish there were a few more chapters to see how everything turned out as well as an epilogue! Overall, I flew through and really enjoyed this rom-com.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This book was a lot of fun. The heartbreak for hire group had some crazy times. Our two main characters were opposites that just really worked together. There was a lot of closure at the end and a really sweet hea

Thank you to Net Galley, Gallery Books, and Sonja Hartl for the free copy of Heartbreak for Hire!

This was a great romcom, with a really unique premise. The story follows Brinkley and Mark at Heartbreak for Hire. A secret business! I loved the witty banter, and the romance was steamy🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!

Very cute! I would recommend this one if you enjoy steamy, open door romances with a fun premise!

This was a good story. I struggled to like the characters early on. I didn't like how quickly she threw away her resolve about doing her job just to sleep with a random guy. I got into a better rhythm with the book as I moved forward in it, and I ended up enjoying the story!

A great romcom that I flew through in about a day! This one had me instantly hooked with the whole concept of Heartbreak for Hire and watching our main character Brinkley struggle with her past and where she wants her future to go. I loved her and Mark, it was a lot of fun seeing everything play out. I also felt like the relationship with Brinkley and her mom was realistic and it was an interesting theme to read about throughout the entire book. I laughed a few times, and there were definitely some good steamy scenes. Overall I just really enjoyed it.

Bottom Line: Love this one, add it to your list if you love romcom. This one comes out July 27th!

** I received a copy of Heartbreak for Hire from NETGALLEY in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are of my own.**

Wow this was so juicy and fun but also introspective and beautiful. I absolutely loved this one and I can't wait to get my hands on it when it is published.

I thought Heartbreak for Hire was going to be a workplace romance, and while it was that it was also so much more.

Brinkley has a unique job at Heartbreak for Hire, exacting revenge on those that have wronged others. This sounds like a cool idea, but it's not surprising that Brinkley after two years Brinkley is struggling with it. It's not fulfilling her and her last case felt off. Brinkley is also an artist. She has dreams of doing that for a living, but is definitely scared to take the leap.

Mark begins working at Heartbreak for Hire under unique circumstances, him and Brinkley have had a previous romantic encounter. There was so much banter between them, I loved it. Sometimes Mark drove me crazy, his constant discussion on loving teaching, but dissing being a middle school teacher drove me nuts.

Brinkley's mom was something else. It was no wonder why Brinkley had some issues!

Heartbreak for Hire was a wonderful read and definitely recommended!

I enjoyed this fun and flirty story. The characters were funny and had great chemistry. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

This is a Hate to Love Romance/Rom-Com. I have to say that I was super excited about this book, but then I was scared to pick it up. I am happy to say I really loved this book, and I could not put it down. This book had so many cute and funny moments in this book. I found myself laughing so many times during this book. I loved the two main characters in this book. I found this book to be unique and nothing like the other books I have read. The idea you can hire someone to put someone else in their place is also very unique. The two main characters in this book kept pushing each other away then they would pull each other in. They built up tension between each other the whole book, and they broke it with one big kind of steamy moment. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Gallery Books) or author (Sonia Hartl) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.
