PRETTY HEARTACHE by Brittany Taylor is AVAILABLE NOW!
Blurb:
Micah Harding has always been known to cause heartache.
He didn’t know it, but he broke my heart the summer I turned eleven.
Humiliated and embarrassed, I didn’t speak to him again after he claimed to have rescued me.
Now, ten years later, I find myself on his doorstep, heartbroken yet again.
Only this time, I’m an unemployed model, running from the life I’ve tried so hard to create, about to be thrust back into the one I escaped.
Although he’s the same billionaire I knew all those years ago, Micah’s changed.
I see the pain he holds in his blue-gray eyes, desperate to forget his reality and the secrets he holds within them.
My childhood feelings for him were kept under lock and key—they had to be—but now that we’re older and living together, the feelings I once had for him are no longer reduced to a meaningless crush. They’re real. And the more time we spend together, the more difficult they are to dismiss.
But as temptation consumes us, we realize our pasts aren’t the only facts we’re running from.
I’m twenty-one.
He’s thirty-three.
And my older brother’s best friend.
I never believed there was beauty in heartache… until I fell for him.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Damaged is drawn to damaged, and in Pretty Heartache, Micah and Addy heal each other’s broken pieces.
This book seemed a little darker than the other books in the Harding Brothers series, and it was just as good as the other two. Micah and Addy have both had a really rough go of it in life. She was abused by her father and neglected/ignored by her mother. After getting out of her parent’s clutches, she’s made a name for herself as a model in Los Angeles, but an incident puts her in danger and sends her running back home where her older brother’s best friend takes her in. Meanwhile, Micah has always felt like the odd man out with his brothers, since he was the product of an affair between their dad and a stripper. He was always made to feel a little less-than by their late dad, and that continues to mess with his mind even after his father’s death. Micah spent some time in prison, and the reasons around that, decisions he made and the truth of what really went down, continue to haunt him as he’s trying to rebuild his life.
There are so many secrets surrounding both Addy and Micah. It takes them a while to get to a place where they feel comfortable removing the masks they present to the world. And once they reveal their authentic selves to the other, a beautiful love develops. They just *see* each other in ways that nobody else does.
It’s an intense and heartbreaking story, but Addy and Micah get a great HEA in the end that makes it all worth it!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
