Book Review – Cross Her Heart by Sarah Pinborough
Cross Her Heart: A Novel
The latest psych-thriller ARC that I was so excited to receive and it’s going live at midnight! You know me and my psych-thrillers. I can’t get enough of them, craving a crazy unputdownable mind-f**k, with a genius twist that makes my jaw drop. Those are the best!!!
And yes, this one did have plenty of suspense that kept me wondering what in the heck was going on (there’s no way I could have figured out that ending) though it wasn’t so-obvious-yet-so-cleverly-concealed as I had hoped. In fact, the frequent switching back-and-forth between characters, and timelines had me a bit confused, trying to catch up with what I just read, to what I was currently reading, and then back again. I was able to keep up, but had to stay so focused that I couldn’t just flow with it.
Reader Question – The book about the grumpy business owner that hires a single mom…
Jessica needs us!! I love grumpy, loner heroes. Makes the “getting there” so much more fun 😉 IN BOOKS!! ONLY IN BOOKS. *ahem*
She asks:
So I’ve been looking for hours trying to find this book and it driving me crazy.
It’s about a grumpy business owner who ends up hiring a woman with two kids to work for him. He’s a loner with a dog.
At some point he takes the woman and kids to Disney land and I believe the h’s sister was being abused by her husband.
Thank you for any help!
Anyone know it?
VikT: Maybe Sugar Daddy by Nicole Andrews Moore. there was a single mum with two kids hired by a grumpy guy in it but I read it quite a while ago so I can’t confirm the dog and Disney land

About book #1:
Waitress and single mom Jessica “Jessie” Mann is practical to a fault. Even if she had time to date, which she doesn’t, she’d be determined to provide her son with a more secure upbringing than the one she had—and that would mean a husband with big bucks. When Jack Morrison—a sexy-as-sin, seemingly broke customer with a cowboy hat and a seductive grin—tries to flirt with her, she shoots him down. She doubts a carefree dreamer like Jack can provide the financial stability she needs. Yet with Christmas just weeks away, and Jessie not wanting to spend it alone, the charming Texan is proving hard to resist.
As the heir to the Morrison luxury hotel empire, Jack is used to being fawned over. But Jack needs someone who will fall in love with him—not his wealth. He’s set his sights on Jessie, though her hardened heart just might get in the way…To be sure, he conceals his true identity and offers to help Jessie find the rich husband she seeks. But Jack’s daring charade may rob him of the holiday wish he wants most of all…
