From USA Today bestselling author Naima Simone comes Heated, a sizzling novel about a breakup professional who embarks on a fake relationship with a client’s ex—the one person she wasn’t supposed to fall for.
Zora
I’m Denver’s unmatchmaker. Every city needs one.
Why? Because people break up—and sometimes they should. But when I learn that entertainment attorney Cyrus Hart is someone else’s mistake, I can’t believe it. He’s smart, successful, and sexy as hell.
When a chance encounter with Cyrus turns into something more, I can’t help but fall for him. Our chemistry is undeniable. But his ex used my company to send him that letter—and that’s a problem. Especially since he doesn’t know I own the company.
How can this possibly work? I know from experience that the riskiest ventures are the worthiest ones…but falling for Cyrus Hart may be my biggest gamble yet.
Cyrus
I’m a man with a plan—college, law school, a great career. So far, so good.
Until a stranger shows up on my doorstep and reads me a breakup letter from my girlfriend. My carefully laid plans unravel.
But then I meet someone new. It’s spontaneous. It’s electric. And it’s not according to plan.
My Review
Heated by Naima Simone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The premise of this book was interesting. I enjoyed it
All the characters we are introduced to are great. I can't wait for Miriam and Jordan's book.
Zora's business is to end your relationship for you. When her client shows her a picture of who she wants to break up with Zora can't imagine why. He's handsome and successful.
It falls to her to deliver the news. What she doesn't expect is to run into him again while breaking up with someone else. She is most definitely attracted to him but he doesn't know that she was hired to break up with him. So how could they possibly work?
Cyrus is a man with a plan. And when Zora shows up on his doorstep to deliver a breakup letter from his girlfriend, his plans. are derailed. But there's no denying his attraction to Zora. When he runs into her again he strikes a deal with her. Spend the next few months getting to know each other and then have her pose as his girlfriend at his upcoming company retreat.
And she agrees.
Thank you so much to the author, and Xpresso Tours for this ARC to review.
