The Breakup Artist

5+ warm and fuzzy feeling stars There are only a few authors that I rely upon for a guaranteed giggle while reading their books and Lila Monroe is amongst them. She never fails to bring the laughter and joy to her stories, as well as the occasional drama or angsty moment. The Breakup Artist had all of these elements as well as a scorching connection between Wes and Katie that’s full of sexy banter and lustful looks. These two had been a couple once, but it didn’t last. I’d tell you why (but.. spoilers!!) Now, five years later they met again by accident, and even though Katie has reasons for not wanting to be in the same room as Wes, she can’t help being sucked back under his spell. This was a sweet, yet slowish burning, sexy tale that made me smile. I also wanted to kick some of the secondary characters a**es, lol. A wonderful, mainly light-hearted read for these most trying of times that will put you squarely back in your ‘happy’ place.

4.5 Stars for The Breakup Artist book 4 in the Cupids Book Series. What a wonderful addition to very funny Cupids Book Series, this author is certainly up there with the best when it comes to romantic comedy and The Breakup Artist was everything I have come to expect from Lila Monroe, I laughed and I smiled a lot as I got to know in depth Wes and Katie while joining them on their second chance at love. Katie is easy to like she has many traits that we have all suffered at one time it another in our life’s, she doesn’t quite believe in herself and she lacks a bit of confidence but that is in her personal life when it comes to her career as The Breakup Artist there is no one better. Wes and Katie have a history and Wes has never really forgiven it forgotten the girl left behind but fate works in mysterious ways and maybe this time it could be different..... I loved Wes and Kate, I loved their story and I loved all the other characters in this entertaining read and I guess all that’s left for me to say is please one click this gem of a read you won’t be disappointed.

The Breakup Artist was an utter delight to read! The quirky and unique story line, partnered with the comedic dynamic between the characters, was super enjoyable. Katie and Wes have unresolved history. She was blindsided by Wes when he up and ghosted her. So rude, right? But without this breakup, Katie wouldn’t have created a successful blog geared towards breakups, secure a book deal, or land a celebrity couple as clients who could potentially skyrocket her career. But when Wes enters the picture again, working with the couple as a lawyer from the movie studio, things go from elation to awkward. And old feelings of heartbreak and doubt are brought right back to the surface. Katie was awesome! I loved the fact that not only did she grow into a stronger, more self-assured woman, she took a painful life experience and turned it into a positive. But the icing on the cake was the fact she wasn’t perfect. She still had her fair share of flaws -- her self-doubt and insecurities. But those qualities are so real and spot on with a lot of women who’ve experienced heartbreak, it makes the character very relatable. Wes on the other hand...well, I didn’t love him like I usually do with male leads. Yes, he had changed. Yes, he had matured and apologized for his immature and insensitive actions. But there was just something about him at first that just rubbed me the wrong way. I can't quite pinpoint it. Maybe it was the fact that he had to do very little to gain back Katie’s trust. So I guess that should really be a strike against her. But if it was up to me, he would’ve been groveling until one is blue in the face. But nevertheless, his charm and personality finally won me over along with how much he regretted letting Katie go in the first place. The Breakup Artist was a sweet, second chance romance with low angst and minimal drama. Although it’s part of the Cupids series, it’s a complete standalone and a fun and entertaining summer read!
