THE HEARTBREAKER BY LILI VALENTE - ARC REVIEW

I've waited years for my drop-dead sexy boss, Tristan Hunter, to notice me as something other than his right-hand gal. But though his dog is deeply in love with me, Tristan and I seem doomed to the friend zone.

Until the night we kiss...

It's all a ruse, of course--our make-out session is for the benefit of the two heartbreakers who dumped us--but very real sparks fly when his lips meet mine.

At least...they're real for me.

***
She's my employee, one of my best friends, my dog Luke's not-so-secret crush, and totally off-limits.

So why am I suddenly unable to think of anything but Zoey Childers?

Two days into our fake engagement and I'm dying to take her to bed and show her just how real the heat could be between us. But crossing that line wouldn't just be borderline unethical--it could be lethal to our friendship.

Zoey isn't a casual fling kind of girl, and after the way things ended with my ex, I don't trust my instincts when it comes to love.

I should call off this fake engagement before somebody gets hurt, but how to say "no" to something real with Zoey when every bone in my body is dying to say "yes"?

The Heartbreaker is a sexy, swoony STANDALONE romance.


Zoey, Tristan and Luke (Tristan's dog who happens to be in love with Zoey) form an excellent trio.  They work together, they like one another and are all close friends.  And, we all know it is totally possible to be completely platonic friends with a member of the opposite sex.

Wait.  It isn't? 

Nope.

Sure, Tristan convinces himself it is for the best.  Because, when something scares us, that is what we do, we convince ourselves that the way things are is for the best, so we don't have to take the risk of changing things by taking the chance.

But, when his awful ex shows up, and he kisses Zoey (not knowing that Zoey and his ex have a past of their own) well, sparks fly all over the place.  And, as lies often do, this one then requires them to maintain the charade.

I loved the ending of the story, the way that Tristan shows how much he loves and trusts Zoey, and how much he really is dedicated to the relationship.  I enjoyed this title, and I am definitely looking forward to the next one from this author!
