Heartbreaker: A Hero Club Novel Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Julie Kriss (Author), Grace Grant (Narrator), Lance Greenfield (Narrator),
4.2 out of 5 stars 244 ratings

Holden Whittaker broke my heart when I was 18. What kind of guy stands up his prom date and leaves her hanging, waiting for him to show up? A total jerk, that’s who.

Never mind. I left my tiny nowhere town and moved to New York to follow my dream of becoming an actress.

Ten years later, my dream hasn’t happened, and I’m working as the office supply girl at Morgan Financial Holdings, doing my best to keep my paycheck and not get fired by the world’s most terrifying boss. Life couldn’t get much worse, until I get stuck in an elevator and guess who comes to rescue me? In a city of eight million people, it’s Holden.

Turns out he’s moved to New York, too, to be an EMT. I don’t want to see my teenage nemesis as one of the good guys, but he’s out saving lives every day, and he’s still gorgeous and cocky. I could fall for him all over again, and that’s a problem. Because it’s only a matter of time before Holden crushes me again.

My hometown heartbreaker isn’t the guy I left behind anymore. If I could stop hating him, I might belong with him. The question is, which one of us will get hurt first?

    Here’s what I liked and didn’t like. I liked the “meet cute” when Mina and Holden reconnected after 10 years. I loved how she and his coworkers acted. I liked their relationship after that. I liked reading about Graham and Soraya from Stuck Up Suit. I liked Tess, Soraya, and the other ENTs. I loved the advice from Soraya and Graham. I liked the epilogue. I liked how Mina was going through changes to her self esteem. I loved all of the references to romance novels - they cracked me up but were also true. Holden’s analysis of the different romance genres and matching them to Mina was very clever. Ever romance novel reference was cute and funny. I loved that Holden was a serial dater and not a hound dog. Helen was a great person as the villain. But I liked how Mina didn’t tell her off when she left. I agree with other readers that Holden’s excuse for prom was very lame. It was anticlimactic when the “big mystery” was finally revealed. That’s the reason for only 4 stars. I wish he had tried to apologize afterwards even if she refused his calls. He made it worse by his silence. There was no cheating and a great HEA.

    Holden stood Mina up on their high school prom and ten years later he is the end who rescues her when she is stuck in the elevator in her apartment in New York City. They were meant for each other and they have to forgive the mistakes of the past. This is a charming read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun, cute and hot read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 19, 2020

    I loved this fun, enchanting and sexy little read.

    Whilst Heartbreaker may have been a little cheesy and occasionally cliched, it did it in a very endearing and totally made me melt way. The mood it created was the perfect foil to this gentle, uplifting and touching second chance tale, making it an immensely enjoyable read. Mina is smart and cute but has confidence issues, Holden is sexy, caring and determined to earn her forgiveness. I loved them both, despite how eighteen year old Holden's stupidity had destroyed Mina's sense of self worth. Slipping into this story is like wrapping yourself in a warm hug

    Julie Kriss writes real people, no-one in her books is perfect, or stunning or too amazing for words. Instead her characters could be people you would bump into walking down the street. They feel like friends and I soon find myself invested in their relationship and HEA. Her past stories have captivated me from the very first chapter and kept me entertained throughout. Heartbreaker easily maintained that record and was very much a read-in-one-sitting book. It's a low angst story, a lighter read with a fun feel to it and one that easily held my attention throughout.

    If you're looking for a well written romance, light in feel, steamy and with two great characters, then look no further. I recommend trying this one.
