    About this ebook

    Brook Ogden has never encountered a broken heart she couldn't patch together…Her counseling practice as the Breakup Doctor—on call to help you shape up after a breakup—is so busy she's expanded to offer group sessions.

    (Turns out there are far more than fifty ways to leave your lover.)

    Her radio show and advice column have made her a local celebrity, and even her personal life, after some gruesome breakups of her own, is in recovery: Ben Garrett started out as a revenge date against an ex, but has turned into so much more.

    But when sizzling-hot Chip Santana, an old client she once shared a rather unprofessional midnight roll in the sand with, comes back into her life asking for her help, Brook can’t say no. Yet while she’s busy stitching up his relationship troubles, Chip reveals much more than a therapeutic interest in her.

    In the standoff between her heart and her hormones, Brook’s cool, collected Wise Therapist persona begins to crack like thrown wedding china. She’s yelling at recalcitrant cheating husbands. Offering crazy advice to radio callers. She’s even hugging her clients.

    When the situation goes critical, Brook’s forced into a decision she isn’t ready to make—and the Breakup Doctor has to decide what kind of casualties she’s willing to accept.

      Brook Ogden, relationship ending expert extraordinaire, returns in another fun chick lit read by Phoebe Fox. Brook continues to expand her Breakup Doctor practice and in addition to individual counseling, takes on a therapy group to see if they can relate to one another and help each other too. In her personal life, stable Ben Garrett, (and even his dog and mother), continue to help Brook move on from her own disastrous almost-wedding. In her professional life, taking on bad-boy Chip Santana, pro-bono, may or may not be a good move. I forgot how much fun this series is. Brook’s family relationships could almost encompass a book on their own. Her parents’ Sunday dinners, her brother and best friend dating—Brook has very real life challenges and experiences with all of them.
