Break Your Heart: A Small Town Romance by Tracey AlvarezMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sam Ngata and his brother Isaac have a huge opportunity for their business Kauri Whare to provide sculptures and furniture to a chain of boutique hotels in the midwest USA. The only problem is that in selling the family nature of the business, and Isaac's relationship with Nat, Isaac and Sam have given the client the impression that the family also includes a significant other for Sam. Now the owner's son Eric and his wife Julia are coming to Bounty Bay to view the business and, if they like what they see, sign the contracts so Sam has to find himself a fake girlfriend and, potentially, soon to be fake fiancee. Sam likes the single life, dating a series of women, riding his Harley, drinking beer with his mates, surfing. Who wants to be tied down to one woman, forced to go home every night, no freedom to just go where the mood takes him.
Vee Sullivan is Sam's sister Tui's former best friend. She, Gracie and Nat own a clothing shop called Bountiful and it's doing well but it's not in the best lace to get tourist footfall. What would be really helpful would be to move to one of the remaining vacant retail spaces at Kauri Whare, Nat and Gracie have been trying to persuade Vee but she is too proud to ask for mates rates from the Ngata brothers. Things are tight for Vee, trying to build a fledgling business whilst being a single mother to two year old Ruby, she just can't stretch to paying the full rent on one of the fancy retail spaces just yet.
Of course Vee would be the perfect ready-made fake girlfriend complete with cute-as-a-button daughter, if only Sam can persuade her to participate.
Once again Tracey Alvarez has written a cute, funny, captivating and sexy romance sparkling with humour and the joys of life in a small community. Sam is super sexy but totally clueless when it comes to women, particularly sparky Vanessa Mae Sullivan. Vee has agreed to be Sam's fake girlfriend for a week, all she needs to do is remember that this isn't real because it would be all too easy to fall for this kind and funny guy she's known practically all her life.
Although this is the fifth book in the series it is easy to read as a stand-alone.
