Description from the publisher:
Kiki Michaelson wants one wild night to forget her starving-artist worries.
Simple.
Only instead of Darren Cole becoming her one-night stand, he taunts her with a challenge. Then while she’s trying to best him at his own game, he turns out to be the last thing she’s prepared for: someone she wants to keep.
Which means all he can ever be…is a friend.
Darren Cole never allows a girl to get close—not close enough to matter.
Then storms in Kiki Michaelson, a beautiful, fearless temptation that rocks his world off-balance. But he fights their attraction, unwilling to gamble something physical with their close ties. Until the passionate sculptor exposes her heart and breaks his wide open.
In that moment it becomes clear: she could never be just a friend.
Sometimes what you run from…is exactly what you need.
*** HEARTBREAKER is a standalone, full-length new adult romance told in dual POV. Due to mature themes and adult language, this book is for those 18 and older. ***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HEARTBREAKER is the first book in
the Unbreakable series. They are each
meant to stand on their own.
The Michaelson family, from the No
Weddings series, is back! No this is not
book #5 and you do not need to have read that series to pick up here. This will stand without, though I recommend
the previous series, too.
What I loved the most about this
story was that nobody was in his or her usual assigned pigeonholes. Kiki wanted a one-night stand. She had absolutely no desire for hearts, no
flowers, and no promises that will only be broken. She didn’t need a knight in shining armor
because she could weld her own if needed.
Darren said, ‘no.’ He wasn’t going to be her one-night stand. Because his life was complicated, and part of
that complication included working with her family, he wouldn’t add
former-lover to the biography of their friendship.
Because he said no, the relationship
built slowly, the burning growing hotter with each page and chapter, until they
(and I) were ready to combust. Still, it
wasn’t just about the smexy, smexy, it was also about deep and profound
friendship, family, and trust.
I loved, loved, FLOVED this
book. I only wish I had the second book
in the series to start on next!
