Publisher's summary

In the still shadows of the confessional, a madman tauntingly reveals his plan for a murder he is going to commit, pulling Father Thomas Madden into a twisted game by disclosing his next intended victim: Tom's sister, Laurant. In a frantic race to protect her, Tom calls upon his best friend, elite FBI agent Nick Buchanan, to track the predator who is closing in on Laurant. Now, as an electrifying attraction grows between Laurant and Nick, so does the danger - and one false move will cost both of them everything that matters.

Critic reviews

"Heartbreaker moves along at a racehorse pace, its plot swerving and darting with sudden turns and jolts.... Garwood's characters are well drawn." ( New York Post)

Great story awful narrator

I've read this book before but never listened to it. I still love the story but the narrator was terrible. Her accents are laughably bad. As the main character has a French accent by the end I was ready to pull my hair out listening to the narrator butcher it. Unfortunate because the story is otherwise worth a listen.

Just ok

The story just had too much narrating instead of the character talking. I enjoy most of the story the priest as the brother best friend FBI sexy agent and his semi bold sister the end was the best gave it 3 stars

Okay

Developed but sometimes silly characters take precedence over plot. The narrator distinguishes the voices of the characters well. But she used a weird annoying accent for the main female character that seemed to come and go.

Heartbreaker is a wonderful book

the characters are well-defined you can see in your mind's eye the description and all of black atmosphere that is in the book Julie Garwood isn't it sectional brighter and I look forward to her neck thought I had a really good time reading this book I highly highly recommended

Great Story, Recording can be distracting

Would you try another book from Julie Garwood and/or Tanya Eby?

The story was great! The recording was at times distracting. By Chapter 22 the character Viola was introduced and the original recording the reader must have miss pronounced her name because every time the characters name came up throughout the rest of the book, you could hear the dubbed over recording. I found it distracting enough and it happened often enough that I wrote a review. The story was great, and I enjoyed it. I wish I had read it though.

ok

It was a decent story, but the narrator trying to do male voices and a French accent was annoying.

More than a mystery, more than a romance,and just shy of a book of comedy!

A great book and it's a start of a series! If the rest are as good as the first, I'm going to have some great hours of Audio books! As it's the Buchanan series and there's eight of them, I think it's a safe bet we'll have eight books and JW has laid a solid foundation to create some wonderful works. Heartbreaker was a masterpiece of humor, romance and mystery all wrapped up in the 12 FBI agents known as the Aposoles.But not all Buchanans are FBI agents. This should be an interesting second in the series. Ready, set, GO!

Good story

Good, fast story with happily ever after ending. Performance was totally outstanding! I very much enjoyed listening.

Did not care for the narrator

Good story as are all of Ms Garwood’s. But this is my least favorite narrator.

WELL DONE!

just enough suspense. interesting plot. curious about the series. Not sure I want to commit to 13 books, though. I love Julie Garwood. She is amazing.
