About this ebook

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”?

*4.5 stars* I can’t get enough of the Hunter Brothers! Sweet, sexy, sensitive and loves animals! Tristan is the bomb and Zoey knows it! They’ve been co-workers for years but circumstances have them suddenly faking their way out of the friend zone. It is everything Zoey could have hoped for but Tristan... Well, he’s a little slower off the mark. He has his reasons but once they both realize their good friend and co-worker is also hot, that door can’t be closed… “Chemistry is like toothpaste – one it’s out of the tube, it’s not going back in.” Whew… The sparks that (finally) flew for Zoey and Tristan were off the charts! It took some persuading, and some ‘practice’ sessions but it didn’t take them both long to figure out they had something special. I loved how much they liked and respected each other before anything started between them. Not that Zoey would have minded that time be a lot shorter! I don’t blame her, Tristan is all that and more! Throwing in animals with attitude and exes with suspicious motives, this was another delicious addition the series! Oh, and the best character name, like, ever? Moodonna! Bahahahahaha….. *4.5 Double Eggplant Stars*

Right off the bat I loved Zoey and Tristan because of their love animals and they work at an animal shelter. This book had exactly what I look forward to in a book by Lili Valente. It had heart, humor, and heat. I loved how much Tristan's dog loves Zoey. It's so adorable. Zoey and Tristan fake a relationship because their exes are back in town. What starts off as fake sure soon feels all too real. I loved Zoey and Tristan together. One of my favorite couples. I'm a sucker for a good friends to lovers story. Once I started reading this book I had a hard time putting down to get things done. I just wanted to gobble this story up. This is definitely a book you're sad to see end. I thought the epilogue was too adorable and perfect touch for this book.

The Heartbreaker is Lili Valente's newest standalone in the Hunter Brothers series and my favorite of the series! Yes, it's part of the series, but you can read it by itself and not miss a thing! I know it's tough to pick favorites, but Tristan called to my heart in book one. He was bruised and heartbroken and needed some hugs! He was also missing what was right in front of him. Zoey. She is his closest friend, his trusted employee. He thinks she's great, sweet, beautiful. But he never sees her as anything other than a friend. Until they have to pretend to be engaged for their exes. Then one kiss turns Tristan's world upside down. In the best, sexiest way possible! Zoey has been in love with Tristan for years and she never thought anything would come of it. She's been holding herself back from finding love because of her feelings for Tristan. But after that fake kiss that felt very, very real, she's not sure what to think. Tristan is sweet and funny and he genuinely cares about Zoey. But can it be more than friends? After some hilarious happenings, Zoey ends up closer to Tristan than she ever thought possible. What happens when faking it becomes real? When pretending makes them want to try? When a few kisses ignite a passion that's been brewing for years? Can they go from friends to lovers to something more? I LOVED this story! I knew Tristan and Zoey had something simmering between them and I loved the slow burn. The first kiss is perfection. Their banter is witty and hilarious. Their chemistry off the charts. Lili Valente knows how to write romance! The Heartbreaker is sexy, sweet, romantic, whimsical and my favorite of the series!
