    “I’ll drink to that,” I replied, flagging the bartender down for another round. Just then some movement over Valentina’s shoulder caught my eye. A woman had just walked into the bar, her chin-length, curly brown hair bouncing with every step. Our eyes met, and she smiled like she knew me. I gave her a half smile back, which quickly faded when I realized who she was. Amber, my ex from college who’d moved away shortly after we graduated. Her hair was different, but her face was pretty much the same. The same round cheeks, full lips, pale blue eyes. Eyes that bore into mine as she turned the corner, making her way to our table. It was then that I noticed she wasn’t alone. She had a boy with her, and when his gaze met mine, my stomach dropped. That kid could have been my clone. Brown hair, green eyes, same nose, same chin. He even had my same damn dimples. My heart was beating so hard, I thought it might jump right out from my throat. What the hell? “Earth to Duke, are you paying for this round, or am I?” Valentina’s voice broke me from my panic just in time for Amber and the little boy to reach our table. “Hey there, Duke. I was hoping I’d find you here.” Amber’s voice was just as sweet and syrupy as ever, but in that moment, it sounded to me like nails on a chalkboard. She smiled broadly at me, her hands on the boy’s shoulders, while the boy stared blankly up at me. “Hey, Amber,” I said when I finally found my voice. “What’s it been, ten years?” “Almost eleven.” I nodded, my mind still spinning, and that’s when I noticed Valentina. She was sitting up perfectly straight, her lips pulled into a thin, taut line across her face. Her eyes were wide and trained on the boy’s face, her expression unreadable. “This is Valentina,” I said, gesturing to her, but the moment the words left my mouth, Valentina stood and grabbed her purse. “I was just leaving,” she said, quickly tucking her chair in behind her and forcing a smile at Amber and the boy. “Valentina—”      

This was a quick read full of fun, laughter, heat and oh so smooth, and I am not just talking about the whiskey.

I loved everything about Duke Wilder, from his brashness to his determination to succeed. Now that his twin brother has found happiness, Duke is looking for more. Sure, he has the money and the success that he has always wanted but there is something missing from his life, could that something actually be a someone named Valentina?

Valentina was a great character and totally up for sparring with Duke. The attraction between them is almost instant and their chemistry is off the charts. However Valentina has no desire to be away from the big city for long, so the last thing she needs or wants is complications in the form of Duke.

 
I spent most of the read smiling and at times laughing and thoroughly enjoyed the build up of heat between Duke and Valentina.

Hunky Heartbreaker will leave you wanting more and I cannot wait to see what is next from Kendall Ryan.   

This may be a quick read but don’t be fooled by the length of this sweet funny novella it still packs a mighty punch it has the perfect mix of sweetness, fun and passion to keep you turning the pages, I was hooked from the first page and like all Kendall Ryan books there was no putting down until I had read the final line.
Duke and Valentina met in the kitchen of Dukes distillery where he is nursing a hangover from hell and not wearing very many clothes and when Duke try’s to come up with some quick jokes about breakfast and sausages Valentina is not at all impressed. Valentina has been called in by a friend to help sort out a trademark issue Duke and his twin brother Luke’s distillery have got caught up in, she is the top lawyer needed to solve the problem and she is not there to fall for the charms Duke is intend on bestowing on her.........
This book has it all small town living, lots of funny banter and some swoon worthy hotness but you are going to have to read this novella to find out what happens when a small town man sets his sights on the big city Starbucks lover. Duke is funny, witty and incredibly romantic and this book left me feeling exactly how a good roman should make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I loved this couple I loved the banter they shared and I loved the storyline all in all a perfect read. 

This novella is such a sweet but also rather funny story! I enjoyed it immensely!

I just loved Duke and Valentina! 
Duke with his charming flirtations and Valentina for her sass!
This book had sizzling chemistry, funny tongue in cheek banter and characters that will leave you with a smile on your face!
If you are looking for an entertaining quick read then this is definitely a must read!

Hunky Heartbreaker is not only a quick, sexy love story, but it is a fast, unexpected romance between the two main characters. Valentina and Duke are from two different worlds but when circumstances bring them together the chemistry is off the charts.
