HEARTBREAK FOR HIRE IS LIVE!
Review
4 stars
Being offered this advanced reading copy had no influence on my willing and always honest review.
This will be a short review for once. To the point like a well-oiled machine. Like Rift’s business was until Gwyn.
I won’t rehash the plotline as you can read it above, no. I’ll go straight to the jugular.
I didn’t love Rift in the beginning. At all.
I may have understood he was hurt and was seeking his revenge it did not make it enjoyable to read about what he did.
It was very cynical, detached and cold. I was disgusted.
Now what I recognized early on was the original if yet depressing trope. Making your wife cheat on you as you are fed up with her but you don’t want to pay big bucks for a divorce.
What a bunch of cowards! These men and Rift too.
Granted the wives fell for him and cheated. The were disloyal going back on their oath. Some even were in their marriage only for the money. It still felt…stale and vile.
Rift was a anti-hero. The opposite of a role model.
He should have caught an illness or burned in Hell for what he was doing BUT all the book’s interest was in his redemption.
Do we always deserve a second chance? Can we redeem ourselves?
Gwyn was an angel. If you don’t like that kind of perfectly sweet-beautiful-caring-smart-generous female MC pass your way. You will hate her. Overload of sweetness.
I dig kind heroines. I think the world is full enough with egotists not to appreciate kindness when we find it. Gwyn was a lovely heroine in my eyes but I had a big complaint: she was clueless about her fiancé
Of course if she saw the light early on the book would have been very short! The game of cat and mouse and to last longer to hold the reader’s interest.
All in all it’s been one of these read that you can enjoy and read fast, filled with very cynical characters paired and admirable ones.
Sweet and sour with a kick of spice.

Dear God, he was good, and I was so very bad.
Great review, Sophie! I like Anti-heroes but this one is definitely not for me.
Thank you Raven and I understand completely!!
Thank you Raven! I can understand 😉 Sorry for the slow answer I was preparing for RARE and will be out for two days. Already wishing you a happy weekend!
I really dig sweet, kind heroines. I think many women go out of their way NOT to be that way today but I think being kind I said always a winner! Sorry to hear the guy was a little too much. ♥️ Great review
Thank you dani and yes I believe in kindness above all else <3
I really like anti heroes but this one sounds incredibly unlikable! I do understand how hard it was to read about it, especially when you don’t agree with these sorts of morals. Quite awful! But it’s nice that the heroine is so lovely 🙂 I like that as well!
You made me intrigued with this one, Sophie. I might give it a go!
Thank you Sophie! I hope you won’t be disappointed 😉
Great honest review Sophie!
Thank you Kayla! xoxo
