The Break Up Broker
(Ever After #1)
by Kelly Collins
One unforgivable betrayal. Two broken hearts. And a small town that won’t let them forget what could have been…
Breaking hearts is my business. I’m Savvy Honeysucker, Manhattan’s premier break-up broker. For the right price, I’ll deliver the bad news your soon-to-be ex can’t seem to manage. After three hundred and forty-two clean breaks, I’ve got it down to a science.
Until my next client walks through the door, and I come face-to-face with Henry Kingston—the man who ghosted me five years ago and turned me from an aspiring wedding planner into the goodbye girl.
I’m Henry Kingston, heir to an empire built on destroying dreams. When Savvy delivers my girlfriend’s goodbye, I realize my father’s plans for River Bend—her hometown and the place we once called ours—will destroy everything she loves. Again.
My grandfather is dying, and his last wish is to see the girl who understood him better than his own family. But as buried truths surface and old wounds reopen, we discover some endings aren’t meant to be clean. Sometimes the messiest goodbyes lead to the most unexpected beginnings.
In a fight between love and legacy, we’ll have to decide what’s worth saving—and what’s worth letting go. When it comes to second chances, timing isn’t everything. Sometimes it’s the only thing.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
Ivy’s voice carried that edge she reserved for wedding- day meltdowns and mascara emergencies.
…courage isn’t just about putting up defenses. Sometimes, it’s about knowing which ones to take down.
Today was different— like stepping into my story instead of managing everyone else’s.
My Review:
I’m no fan of angst, and the front half of this tale was laced with it. Thankfully, I have trust in this clever scribe, and my faith paid off – big time. I enjoy an underdog story as much as a second-chance romance, so double bonus on those as well. I found the concept of a professional relationship undertaker to be fresh and entertaining. The main characters were endearing and likable, while the storylines and emotive writing kept me engaged.
