Hamptons Heartbreak was a great read! I had so much fun reading this story and really getting into the minds of these wonderful characters. I love how the Hamptons came to life in this story. I felt for Vivienne and was rooting for her in a sense that she became her own independent woman. Lance is a strong hero, at first I didn't think he and Vivienne would be together. They were so opposite but that chemistry was wired all over. I whole heartily loved this story and was happy that this was left with a HEA! So much growth and strength comes with this story which stays with you for after the end.
