About this eBook

One beach house.

Two months.

Countless lies.

What could go wrong?

 

It was supposed to be the perfect summer job.

Housesitting in the Hamptons.

And then he showed up.

Lance Welles.

Moody. Broody. Wealthy. Sexy.

And cocky. So damn cocky.

He’ll let me stay for the summer.

But only if I pretend to be his girlfriend.

I agree. Why wouldn’t I?

It’s not like I’ll fall in love.

 

The first time I saw Vivienne Radcliffe,

she was in a fire-engine-red bikini.

Setting fire to my house.

Well, not exactly my house.

The garden of my Hamptons estate.

She says the house is hers for the summer.

But it isn’t long before I realize . . .

I want Vivienne to be mine forever.

Hamptons Heartbreak was a great read! I had so much fun reading this story and really getting into the minds of these wonderful characters. I love how the Hamptons came to life in this story. I felt for Vivienne and was rooting for her in a sense that she became her own independent woman. Lance is a strong hero, at first I didn't think he and Vivienne would be together. They were so opposite but that chemistry was wired all over. I whole heartily loved this story and was happy that this was left with a HEA! So much growth and strength comes with this story which stays with you for after the end.

This fake relationship romance was so fun, heartwarming and poignant. Vivienne is fresh off of a bad relationship, now she also has no job, and nowhere to live. When an opportunity arises to live rent free while taking care of a beautiful home in the Hamptons, she jumps at it. She is working several jobs and trying to save money so she can start her own business at the end of the summer. Lance is still reeling after the heartbreaking loss of his sister. As the part owner of a successful security firm, he is in NY to make some connections for his business. Unfortunately all his friends and contacts want to fix him up with a girlfriend as well. He is not interested in a relationship, especially with someone who is only interested in his money. When a misunderstanding happens at his home with a beautiful, hardworking woman who is living there unexpectedly, he can't help but play along. Vivienne intrigues him and he can't fight his attraction to her. Vivienne is suspicious of the new broody, sexy man renting the home, but his charms and thoughtfulness soon win her over. They begin building a passionate relationship they both think could develop into more. But when she works too many jobs, he convinces her to work for him as his fake girlfriend for the summer. Will they be able to trust the others feelings when money is involved? Will Vivienne be able to trust Lance when she learns his secrets? I really liked Lance and Vivienne together even when they frustrated me at times, and I didn't always agree with some of their actions. But they were good together, balancing their flaws, and their chemistry was explosive. I was sucked in to their story immediately, and was taken on an entertaining, emotional, swoony and sizzling ride!

What an enthralling and tantalizing read! Hampton’s Heartbreak is a well written, forced proximity romance that capture my attention immediately. This was a quick read as I was so invested in the characters and their story that I couldn’t put the book down! I adore this author’s style of writing and I completely fell in love with both Vivienne and Lance. Vivienne is down on her luck and yet she maintains a positive attitude. I admired her vibrant personality and her resilience. Lance is positively charming and swoon worthy and I found his backstory to be quire interesting. Their chemistry is off the charts and I really enjoyed the banter between the two of them. The way they meet is quite hilarious and there are definite sparks, but can a relationship develop and survive when there are miscommunication and lies? The author has woven together a story that contains the perfect amount of drama, humor and steam, thus making this a very enjoyable and engaging read. If you have enjoyed the author’s previous works and/or you like forced proximity romances, then you do not want to miss out on this book! Hampton’s Heartbreak is book 4 in this author’s New York City Romance series. It can be read as a standalone.
