“Contrary to popular belief (mostly propagated by ourselves here at ripmybodice.com HQ), we, or at least I, Sheridan Sakura Carlotta, don’t despise *all* murder-mystery-thriller Romance novels. Nono, our dear readers, I am here to tell you today, that I actually liked one. Yes! One! “Heartbreaker” by Julie Garwood. (PS: this is also when I say to Julie Garwood and Ms Judith McNaught: Don’t think this review means you can keep on doing what you were doing and ignore our most ardent (and wise) pleas to ditch the murder-mystery-thriller Romance novels like a mound of bat guano wrapped in pleather. That’s right! You heard me!! P-L-E-A-T-H-E-R.)
“Heartbreaker” starts right off the bat (hee!) with the sinister murder-mystery-thriller plot, and we are immediately entrusted with the knowledge that the bad man of the book (”Bad Man”) wants to murder our plucky heroine. We know this because Bad Man confesses this to her brother within the first chapter of the book. At confession. You see, our plucky heroine’s brother is a Father. As in, Holy Batwings Batman! ‘He’s a *Father* Father.
