The Broken Heart Playlist

Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, The Broken Heart Playlist is a single mom, forced proximity, small town, emotional romance.

Kate Miller is an extraordinary food stylist. She employs a whole host of tricks to make food look deliciously perfect, from painting grill lines on a steak to using mashed potatoes for an ice cream shoot.

But Kate is also living an extraordinary lie. The survivor of a brutal marriage, she’s stylized her life to present a perfect facade, hiding her brokenness and loneliness from everyone around her. The only love in her life? Her eight-year-old daughter. There’s no room for anyone else.

Until a handsome stranger with his own set of tricks moves onto her street. Suddenly, Gideon Walker and his therapy dog are everywhere, charming her family, winning over her daughter, and taking an unwelcome interest in her life.

The man who seems to know too much about her has invaded her small town. Against all odds, he also seems intent on breaking down her walls and invading her heart.

But Gideon is not without his own secrets. And if Kate gives in to their undeniable attraction, the truth could bring them together or tear them apart forever.

Wow!

Wow…really something…deep, poignant, engaging, emotional, swoony parts, disturbing parts…she is a great writer. I enjoyed seeing the characters from her previous book, “Phishing for Love” again (which you should TOTALLY read ! And first). Grandma is hilarious (love her!!) The food stylist was really interesting to learn about.

I appreciated no swears or sex scenes but there was definitely palpable tension. Innuendo was well done.

The AI voice was not great; it made weird pronunciations a lot and there was little emotion and inflection, hard to tell sometimes who was talking. But despite the robotic voice, it was worth reading!
