Editorial Reviews:

"Once in a while you run across a book and you just really connect to it. You feel like it was written just for you. Like the author knew exactly the kind of book you loved and hit it spot-on. This was one of those books for me. This was like a Chick-lit/Romance/Suspense - all my favorites wrapped up in one book!" - Wall-to-Wall Books

"Both of the main characters have a past that's not revealed up front, and because of this, I had a hard time putting this book down...There's a twist toward the end of the book that is so shocking, yet so wonderful you have to read Clean Break to experience it for yourself. You will not see this coming, no matter how much you think you know what's going to happen... [the] writing has a natural cadence that makes for a quick and fun read." - Rant and Rave Book Reviews

"I always enjoy a book that starts off in such a way that as a reader I have no idea where exactly the story will take me... I loved Lane's character and wondered if the very mysterious Viktor was going to be good or very bad for her. I even found myself caring for the secondary characters, which speaks volumes about the depth of characterization. This is a very enjoyable read." - Night Owl Reviews

"Once I started reading, I was completely taken by surprise that this is her debut book. The writing is strong. I mean really strong." - Feeding My Addiction Book Reviews

Synopsis:

Lane Haviland can't seem to catch a break. She's dead broke, barely functioning as an adult, and completely alone in New York City. Her so-called "apartment" is a six-by-nine cell in a Brooklyn basement. And her new boss hasn't ever met a personal or professional boundary she can't bulldoze through.

Still, Lane's determined to at least attempt to claw her way back to respectability. But she can't seem to get her mysterious handyman, Viktor, out of her apartment – or her headspace. Maybe that's a good thing: Viktor's easy on the eyes, and that deep-voiced Russian accent is beyond sexy. But as he and Lane grow closer, he can no longer hide his connections with a dangerous criminal underworld – where secrets can be deadly.
