OF HEARTBREAK AND HARMONY by Brit Benson is NOW LIVE
Blurb:
He burned me once.
This time, I won’t be the one consumed by the flames.
Torren King is rock-and-roll’s broodiest bachelor.
Mysterious, moody, and coveted by nearly everyone.
But to me, he’s just the sad boy who set fire to my heart,
then reduced me to ashes in the desert.
For four sweltering nights, I burned for him,
and he conquered my heart one whispered lyric at a time.
But on the fifth night, he shattered me in the way only a flawless rock god can:
irreparably, and with devastating finesse.
Four years later, the last place I expect to be is sitting before him,
reading through a contact with a pen poised in my fingertips.
A favor for a favor, he says.
A US tour and a fake relationship in exchange for the answer to all my problems.
I hate him. I hate that I need him.
And what I hate the most?
He doesn’t remember me. At all.
But despite the burning chemistry between us,
the rapidly blurring lines and the suffocating attraction,
he’s still the rock star who ruined me,
and I refuse to let myself forget.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Brit Benson delivers another spectacularly angsty story in Of Heartbreak and Harmony, the second book in the Hometown Heartless series!
There’s an instant attraction between Torren and Callie when they first meet, and they spend a wild few days together. But then he pulls the rug out from underneath her, and everything comes crumbling down. Years later, Torren and Callie reconnect when he needs a favor. Specifically, a fake girlfriend. With little options at the time, Callie has no choice but to accept his proposition. Even though being so close with the guy who broke her heart on a tour bus is the last thing she wants.
BB wrote a story so full of angst and heartbreak. It is a delicious slow burn, and I loved seeing Torren unravel as the layers of this broody hero got peeled back. Because she was burned by Torren years ago, Callie enters their arrangement with nothing but hate for him… and I loved seeing her fall in love once again with the guy who broke her heart.
Torren is one of Savannah’s bandmates (Between Never and Forever). While this book goes back and forth between Callie and Torren’s past and present, the “present” timeline is set after BNAF. It is a standalone, but for the full experience, I would recommend reading BNAF first.
UPDATED FOR AUDIO: Stella Hunter and Stephen Dexter did a great job capturing the nuances of Callie and Torren. I read this book when it first came out, and these two narrators helped me fall in love with Torren and Callie all over again.
I can’t wait to read the rest of this series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet Brit Benson:
Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that get you right in the feels.
Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles and touching things she’ll never buy.
