Realistic fiction. Brinkley's heart was broken, but she was "saved" by her current boss (and now works) at Heartbreak for Hire. It's here that Brinkley feels that she can help other women who have also been mistreated by the male species. And then there's her mother who just cannot understand why art, instead of academia, is so important to Brinkley. And then Brinkley meets Mark. Wow! Her life just got even more complicated... what's a girl to do?!

I enjoyed Heartbreak for Hire, liked the concept and was giggling over the banter and back and forth of B and M’s relationship. Was a quick enjoyable read.

A delightfully witty romcom, Heartbreak for Hire leaves a reader smiling from beginning to end. With believable characters and a plot that leaves one guessing, this is a book worth adding to your shelf.

Main character Brinkley Saunders appears to have it all - beauty, brains and a job that she enjoys. Or so it seems. Everything is going well until she meets Markus Cavanaugh, who just happens to be her latest target. Suddenly what looks like a perfect life begins to show cracks. As things begin to unravel, the author takes her readers into the middle of a colorful mess full of interesting situations, people and memorable moments.

At times laugh-out-loud funny and at others sweetly poignant, this is a love story that is as much about learning to love yourself as it is about finding the right person. Overall, it left this reader enjoying the ending and wondering about a possible happy ending for the other characters in the future.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one!
I was pretty excited about it based off nothing but the cover and the description that the dude wears a lot of "criminally sexy sweater vests". Like, hello, sign me right up please.
But I don't know, this book felt a little mean spirited.
Brinkley didn't feel like an entirely formed character to me, and the concept of H4H didn't make a bunch of sense. Namely she's not _actually_ breaking hearts, just humiliating dudes, and also how on earth does she explain this high paying under the table job on her taxes? Charlie's Angels but for revenge is a weird concept!
She felt like a bummer. And obviously that dude her mom was trying to hide from was her dad. She's not very observant for someone who is supposed to be super observant and read people for her job.
Mark was ok! I wanted more of a nerdy vibe instead of secretly hot, super good at sex dude.

Bits were steamy, which is good, but it couldn't entirely save it for me, which is why it's 3 stars.

Heartbreak For Hire had such a compelling story! After being dumped by her cheating ex, Brinkley starting working for a company who brought down bad men. This isn’t Brinkley’s passion though, she dreams of opening her own gallery full of her own art, she just hasn’t worked up the courage to do so. Enter Mark, who pushes her to be herself all while facing the same thing in his life. This is a love story but also a story about finding yourself and deciding what you truly want. Not to mention, there was SO MUCH good chemistry between the couple in this book.
