Broken Heart Syndrome by Susie Tate

 

3 Stars

Frankie has crushed on Thomas G Longley for years until he publicly humiliates her. She moves on but goes into her shell and just focuses on work. She was expecting to be working in palliative care but ends up on a rotation for cardiology with Tom as her new boss. The only good thing about the posting is Tom doesn’t seem to remember her at all. She understands the job and does it well but her heart is in palliative care.  The more they work together the more he sees her for the wonderful woman she is. The problem can she forgive and forget his past behavior?

Was not one of my favorite reads of Susie Tate. Thomas was a dick from beginning to end and the Frankie deserved so much better. She had so much going on and he just kept piling on more. When it all played out she forgives him instantly and it frustrated me. I like the other books better but this one was FINE.

Beg Borrow or Steal by Susie Tate

4 Stars

Libby is willing to do almost anything to reach her goals and take care of her daughter. She doesn’t have time for judgmental doctors who have never had to struggle with life.  Jamie has worked hard to become the education director and doesn’t understand how some people can not take things seriously and show up on time until a 4-year kicks him in his shins for being mean to her mom. Finding out how hard Libby works makes him want to protect her but can he leave his judgment behind?

Tate’s books are always heart-retching books, and this was no different from her other books. FMC is working he butt off to make a better life for her kid and MMC is a major dick. He does get better, but it takes way too long, and he ends up hurting FMC and her daughter before he gets it together. If you are looking for a book to make you ugly cry this is a good one to read.

Nothing Feels Better by Brit Benson

Joss is just trying to survive her abusive ex. He wants to ruin her for daring to leave. She has to worry about her kids and doesn’t have time for romance. When she meets Jesse he’s younger than her and definitely not going to be forever as he’s going to med school out of state. When things get serious between them can they find away to get their HEA?

This was a cute age gap single mom story. Joss was in a lose/lose situation and was trying to do the best she could while divorcing her abusive ex. She was not expecting to find and fall for Jesse. There was a lot of drama with this one was fun to read. Jesse and Joss had to decide what was most important to them and that would change everything for both of them. The ending was just perfect.
