Bad and Dirty Books: Release Blitz - Sweetest Heartbreak by Heather Bentley

When naïve, humble, and beautiful meets arrogant, brash, and handsome, it can only lead to...Sweetest Heartbreak.

Twenty-three year old Leah Dawson is better off than most, and she knows it. With a supportive family, a great job out of college, and her best friend, Eli, by her side, she doesn’t take anything this life has to offer for granted. A lesson she learned when she lost her dad to cancer. Another lesson she’s learned? Don’t date your best friend. But she and Eli worked through the awkwardness and are now firmly planted in the friend zone. Until she meets Eli’s other best friend, Heath, and true feelings are exposed.

Fresh out of rehab, Heath Braeburn is Leah’s opposite in every way. Spoiled. Reckless. Impetuous. The only thing they have in common is Eli, who has been by Heath’s side through it all, including when his mom up and left years ago. A fact he’s never gotten over. But at twenty-four years old, it’s time to prove that he’s not the man everyone has come to expect him to be. Starting with Leah. She is his clean slate. His game changer. But will he become Leah’s biggest regret?

This is a story of what happens when friendships are tested, words go unspoken, and hearts are broken. And how three friends all manage to find their way back to each other.

Sweetest Heartbreak lived up to its title cause it was definitely an emotional story filled with heartbreak and loss. I really enjoyed this story especially because of the characters Leah, Eli, Heath and Connor. Their friendships and relationships were the heart of the story.

The conflict which was bound to happen was a little predictable but my reservations for the remaining story was unfounded cause Heather Bentley delivered a strong and moving story with well developed characters who grew and learned from their past mistakes. Leah and Heath’s self discovery and change was depicted beautifully. Their evolution wasn’t rushed which I appreciated since Leah’s rock bottom took time to process and for her to heal. Her black hole wasn’t pretty and I felt and could relate how her broken heart made her want to do things to just forget. In this case it was destructive and unhealthy decisions. Heath’s evolution allowed him to put other people’s needs before him and just be there for Leah and his friends. He definitely redeemed himself.

Sweetest Heartbreak is not only about love it’s also about family. Leah and Heath had the support of their friends and family no matter what. Eli was loyal to the bone and his love for his to friends had no limits. The same can be said about Connor who was Leah’s twin brother. Their relationship was incredible as was the one they shared with their mother.
After finishing Sweetest Heartbreak I have a request for Heather Bentley. Please give me Connor’s story! These characters have definitely made an impact on me and I need more.
Especially more Connor.
