Can two wrongs feel oh-so-right? This bride is about to find out—with the bad boy who makes an epic breakup worth her while. Bella: I know I’m a princess. I’m used to getting what I want. But all I ever really wanted was a husband and a family. Unlike my sister, Sophie, I’ll never have a brilliant career to fall back on. So what’s a bride to do when she learns that Prince Charming is a cheating … learns that Prince Charming is a cheating snake just a few days before her fairy-tale wedding? With my fiancé begging for another chance, the only way to save the wedding is to even things out with a little revenge sex—and local bartender Christian Jordan seems like the right man for the job.
Christian: If gorgeous Bella Bigelow thinks sleeping with me will somehow lead to happily ever after, I’m not going to turn her down. The guy she wants to marry is a jerk, and her sister is fooling around with my estranged twin brother, Cain. So what’s the problem—besides falling for a woman who doesn’t know what she wants out of life? All I want to do is whisk her away from that church, take her to a cabin in the woods, and act out all our naughtiest fantasies. And I may just get the chance. . . .

I was fortunate to receive a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I read the previous book in this series- The Hookup. I enjoyed that book but I think that I liked this one more because I couldn’t wait to find out what might happen between Bella and Christian. Their story was pretty steamy. They had such a connection and made each other better people. Bradley never deserved Bella – I think it was mighty big of her to not spread what he had done to cause her to run out on their wedding- he owed her more than a cottage!
I liked this story. It’s sweet and sexy. It took me a bit to warm up to Bella and also Christian a little bit too, but once their relationship started to blossom, I was behind them. I felt like getting to know them together redeemed some of their not so finer qualities of the past. I enjoyed watching them fall in love; I think they understand each other so well and are perfect for each other. Love the epilogue!
Within days of hearing wedding bells ring Bella Bigelow discovers that her groom isn’t ready to say “I do” because he’s too busy rolling around in the sheets with another woman, and Bella is crushed. She had everything all planned out, they’d get married, do the lavish honeymoon, and then return home and get started on the next chapter of their lives… now she has no idea what she is going to do, should she call off the wedding or not? She gave up everything to be with this man, she has no career to fall back on, and no back-up plan, she either needs to decide is she can forgive him and get married, or flee and never look back? As the last few hours roll down to wedding day she decides she can’t go through with it, and calls her friend Christian to come and whisk her away. She needs a place to hide-out and get a handle on her emotions and make a new life plan, so he takes her to his families cabin for a little break.
But after a few days together she starts to think that maybe the rule of “the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else” might just be the best way to move on, and Christian Jordan seems like a good candidate to help her with that. He doesn’t do relationships, which means no feelings or obligations afterwards, and he seems to be well versed in one night stands, what could possibly go wrong?
The Breakup is a drama filled tale that will stir up your emotions and put a squeeze on your heart, you just can’t help but feel for these characters and the situation they have found themselves tangled up in. This was my first visit to the series, and with the back story continuing from the first installment, I sometimes felt as though I was missing out on some pertinent details, but with that being said I don’t feel like it took too much away from Bella and Christian’s story, I was still able to grasp everything that was happening with them. This was an enjoyable read to settle down with this afternoon, it made for the perfect little literary getaway, the story line was engaging, the characters were well drawn, and it left me my heart happy. Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
