I wanted to read this one because the author was calling it New Adult - it isn't. It's a contemporary adult romance. In fact, it felt as if the main character was originally older in previous drafts and then the author made her 26 years old just to try and catch a ride on the New Adult bandwagon. 
 But that is my only criticism. I really enjoyed this novel featuring Hope, a photographer of ebook romance covers. After her car breaks down in a WalMart carpark, I don't think Hope ever thought that WallyWorld would be her one stop shop to cementing her place as a first class photographer and possibly bring her the man of her dreams. 
 Usually instalove bothers me but I loved the pace of Hope and mechanic Jake's relationship. They're perfect for each other - and I think it's testament to a great author that I believe this despite this whole book only spans a couple of days. 
 And the sex scene - one of the best I've read lately. It was hot and playful and best of all, funny. 
 I had a ball reading Hope Breaks and I desperately hope that there's another book - I anxious to find out what happens next for Hope, Jake and the fantastically bizarre next door neighbour, Bette.
