Summary:
Falling in love is much harder than breaking up...
With three broken engagements under her oh so fashionable belt, it's high time London party girl Chloe Flynt gets a job. Unfortunatly, Chloe isn't exactly qualified for anything, except dumping a Mr. Wrong or two (or three!) with a little dignity. Realizing she needs a new beginning, she lands in Austin, Texas, and opens a company helping other people do the dirty work of breaking up...
Too bad Chloe's tall, tough-talking, and take-charge landlord, Matthew Tanner, isn't interested in her expertise. Because anyone can see that his girlfriend is clearly all wrong for him. Not that Chloe cares. She and Matthew have nothing in common - other than that mind-blowing attraction, that is. But when his girlfriend requests Chloe's services, all hell breaks loose. If there's one thing Chloe knows for sure, it's that just because she's good at breaking up bad relationships doesn't mean she has a talent for putting together good ones. Maybe it's finally time she gives it a try...

My Thoughts:
This book was not what I expected at all. And it's a good unexpected, by the way. I thought this book was just going to be about Chloe, Matt, and his girlfriend. But there are way more characters whose lives are influenced and connected. There's Stephanie who is attracted to Matt's friend, Rafe. And Stephanie is a patient to a love therapist, Deborah. And Deborah's boyfriend wants to break up with her so Chloe sends Rafe in and finds Stephanie. Its just a whole big tangle of people and connections that I didn't think this book was about. The added plot lines really added dimension to this novel, I believe. It made you want everyone in the book to have a happy ending. And most do, thank God.
Warren definatly gave Chloe some interesting ways to break up with people. I'll have to consult this book when I need a quick way to get rid of a boyfriend. :-D
All in all, this book was surprisingly really well written. I definatly recommend it.

So... go to your local bookstore or order online just as long as you don't make this book full of forgotten pages.
More coming!
