I'm so happy that Kat T Masen written another new series. Aston Beaumont and Everleigh Woods are my next favorite couple after Lex & Charlotte and Amelia & Will. I love my best friend's older brother(a billionaire) trope. The love story between Aston and Everleigh was filled with angst, yearning, and chasing dreams. Aston broke Everleigh's heart when they were in their teens and from there, they went on with their lives until Maddy's whom is Everleigh's best friend and also the younger sister of Aston were getting married. The wedding plans have brought them together again and this time temptations were given in and another chance for their feelings to be rekindled again. I'm so happy that Lex, Charlotte, Amelia, and Will made an appearance in this book. I can't wait for the next book.

Parts of this are good, but it's pretty uneven and the main hero seems to be written as though men are all secretly weird and controlling? So that was not my favorite. I liked Eva and the donut shop and most of the vibes of the town, but a lot of this really felt like what the author THOUGHT a book tok book should sound like but was actually kind of retrograde.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley.

This book was a great mix of sweet and spicy. The characters were all really well written - again, a great mix of good and bad. I’m glad to see this is the first in a series bc I would love to see where the other characters end up!

This story takes place in a small town. The heroine, Eva, being a cafe owner, and the hero, Aston, being a billionaire that lives in NYC but grew up in this small town. Aston’s little sister’s wedding brings him back to the town and forces him to work with Eva.

This book was just okay for me. I enjoyed some aspects of the story, but really had a hard time believing the love story.

Aston is honestly insufferable. He’s rude and treats our heroine horribly. And I’m sorry but I just don’t believe that one kiss in high school could make her look past the way he’s treating her in the present day. I love a grumpy, possessive hero but it just was not done well in this book.

I did really enjoy Eva’s character, and loved most of the side characters/small town charm. If the hero had been just slightly better to Eva, this could have been a hit in my book.

3 stars. Thank you to Atria and NetGalley for my ARC!

How to Break My Heart delivers all the feels with its blend of small-town warmth, witty rivalry, and undeniable chemistry. Eva is a charming and down-to-earth heroine whose quiet life gets shaken up by the return of Aston, the one who got away. Their love-hate dynamic is full of sparks, and the emotional layers beneath their banter make their journey even more compelling. Kat T. Masen crafts a story that’s both fun and touching, perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers with a deeply romantic twist. A truly satisfying read!
Thanks to Netgalley and the author for the chance to read thsi book in advance.

This book has me in a chokehold since the first chapter, there is no surprise there, after all, is Kat T Masen's writing.
The banter and the tension between the characters were nerve-racking and exhilarating.
Aston loved to push Everleigh's buttons, he knew how to bait her, and that was his love language. As long as he got a reaction out of her he was happy, this man didn't know how to love, and his character development was top-tier. He was possessive, obsessed, and head over heels in love.
Everleigh is just amazing, a strong and determined woman who goes above and beyond for the people she loves. She fought her feelings for Aston but it was useless, these two were soulmates.
Their relationship was explosive, passionate, and filled with second chances and forgiveness.
The plot, the characters, and the spice were extremely well excuted.
I loved this book, I can not wait for the next one!

This book was so good!! I enjoyed the characters and storyline. It’s one of my favorite tropes. Best friends brother! The banter was good and the story was good as well. It moved quickly and pulled at my heartstrings. Although the dad in the story was the biggest villain. It’s sweet and I’m glad that the MMC finally figured out his life!! Well done!!

I liked this book about a small town enemies-to-lovers romance, but it took a while for me to get into it. I liked Everleigh and Aston's banter and how the author gave some backstory to understand their dynamic. I didn't care for the best friend, Maddy; she seemed like a spoiled brat. The book was fast-paced and at times felt rushed, but overall, I enjoyed it.

This book was amazing, and my first by this author! Perfect best friends billionnaire brother, with spice and family boardroom drama. Thanks so much for the ARC!! This checked all the boxes of my favorite tropes.

I really enjoyed reading this small town cozy story about our main female character and her best friends older brother. Set in the small town of Cinnamon Springs, Everleigh owns a small coffee and bakery shop. Growing up she developed a crush for her best friend's older brother, Aston, who on the night before he is set to graduate and leave town he essentially kisses her then goes ghost.

Time jump to several years later he now runs his fathers multi-million company and is back in town for his sisters wedding. Cue the forced proximity as he and Everleigh are forced to be around each other again to plan the wedding.
This book had several of my favorite tropes and was an enjoyable read with steamy moments, family drama, and great banter.

An incredibly sweet, crazy romance.
I truly enjoy all of Kats books. This one has become my new favorite.
Everleigh lives in the small town of Cinnamon Springs. Living their her whole life enjoying the small town, her business and friends.  She finds herself rehashing old feelings for her best friends brother. Who broke her heart so long ago. 
Aston is a super successful (and sexy), business man in Manhattan. He finds himself summoned to help his sister plan her wedding with the help of her best friend. Even with his father scheming the whole time.
This crazy, fun, sexy, super sweet romance will truly have you hooked. 
I couldn't put this book down.  It's one one my top faves this year.  Don't miss out on Everleigh and Aston, oh and Houdini too! 
5 stars.  A must read.

Thank you, Atria Books and NetGalley, for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 Stars

I thought this was a super easy and light read, but not my favorite. It felt like the characters needed a lot of maturity for their age, and a lot of the writing felt repetitive. The Kiss scene that started it all felt like it could have been in much more depth because it felt super surface level, leading me to feel like Eva's reaction was a bit too over the top (regardless of the teenage hormones); Additionally, I felt like the Marco scene was a bit too random and didn't go too far, feeling like a space filler.

What I did like about the book was the chemistry between Eva and Aston. I felt like their back and forth was pretty good. Masen can weave together a beautiful love story of second chances and redemption (regardless of miscommunication).

Read if you like:
- Dual POV
- Misscommunication trope
- Second chance
- Best friend's brother

I have been a big fan of Kat T. Masen and have pretty much read all of her books. So when she announced that she had a new upcoming book, I jumped literally at the chance to be able to read an advanced copy and let me tell you, this book hit just like her Chasing Love, the Trouble with Love, and Craving Love series.

Aston and Everleigh's love story was great. The plot twists and the path to their happy ever after kept me on my toes. I loved how Aston called Eva by her full name and also his sister.

This was not a stay up all night book for me, I think my days of staying up all night reading books has passed, but I did finish it within a couple of nights. I sure hope she writes more of these characters into books and I love how the characters from the Chasing Love and the Trouble with Love made appearances in this book.

I absolutely devoured this book in a matter of 48 hours and I am obsessed!! Kat T. Masen does not disappoint ever, and I loved the Chasing Love and Trouble With Love cameos within the book. She had all the tropes that I love small town, Billionare, Best Friend’s Older Brother, and Love Triangle. I can not wait to see what becomes of this series and if you haven’t read her other books pick them up right now!! Please never stop writing Kat you are so amazing at what you do!

So emotional I don’t even know where to start!!!! I’m not really a romance reader but took a chance and let’s just say it won’t be my last timeless read

Took me a sec to get into this one but once I did I was pleasantly surprised? I liked it more than I thought I was going to and actually cared about the plot outside of the romance. Was it a bit far-fetched at times? Yeeesss. But it’s a billionaire romance.. They’re all a bit far-fetched and I still eat them up every time.
The spice was hot and I liked their banter. The FMC wasn’t totally annoying like they normally can be in books like this so that was a huge bonus.
3.5/5 ⭐️
4/5 🌶️

This billionaire small-town romance had everything I love ! Totally addictive ! I love all of Kat’s books and I loved seeing everyone’s favorite Lex & the gang! Can’t wait for everyone to read this one..

For being very trope-y, I enjoyed this fast paced read! I was really happy that the conflict between the two main characters wasn’t soooo devastating. I needed something that was just the right amount of everything and this book was just that! Thank you to NetGalley & Atria for the ARC!

Thank you Atria Books and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
⭐2.5⭐

How to Break My Heart was truly heartbreaking for this reader. One word- Aston. He was a jerk and I don’t care if the boy’s got money, he was a jerk who treated Eva wrong from the start. There were a lot of scenes and details sprinkled in the story that seemed unnecessary or didn’t make sense. Take for example that weird tattoo scene from the campfire? Aston gets marked and that’s it? I also felt like Maddy was really entitled to Eva and their friendship seemed like a personal perk for Maddy. The one person I felt bad for is Marco. Give him the love story he deserves!

2.5 stars.
Aston is the older brother of Eva’s best friend, Maddy, and also the subject of Eva’s long-standing, unspoken crush. Bound by her loyalty to Maddy, Eva has always kept her feelings at bay. However, when Maddy asks Eva and Aston to team up and help plan her whirlwind wedding in just one month, the boundaries Eva has carefully maintained start to blur.

As the trio dives into the chaos of wedding preparations, Eva is determined to focus on giving her best friend the perfect day, even if it means setting her own feelings aside. Yet, the close proximity and undeniable chemistry between her and Aston make it harder to ignore the emotions she’s buried for so long.

How to Break My Heart weaves an engaging story of love, loyalty, and the challenges of balancing friendship and romantic longing. Eva’s journey is both heartwarming and bittersweet as she navigates her own desires while prioritizing those she cares about.
