Spotlight and Giveaway: The Heartbreak Hotel

Today we are checking into The Heartbreak Hotel. Ellen O'Clover's debut adult romance is sure to be a hit, especially seeing how many well-known authors already love it and all the five-star reviews it is receiving from readers. Thanks to Berkley, we have one copy to give away!

A bed-and-breakfast for the brokenhearted might hold the key to another chance at love in this achingly hopeful debut romance.

Louisa Walsh emerged from a tumultuous childhood with a degree in counseling, a wealthy boyfriend, and her sunny outlook on life mostly intact. But that optimism is tested when she’s dumped and left unable to afford rent on their gorgeous house in the mountains of Colorado. Even with her life in disarray, Lou knows losing the one stable place she’s ever called home is not an option.

Her plan: ask her reclusive landlord, Henry Rhodes, to let her stay for free in exchange for renting out the house’s many rooms as a bed-and-breakfast. She’s shocked when he agrees to her terms, and even more surprised to discover Henry is a handsome thirtysomething veterinarian with silver at his temples and sadness in his eyes. One who does not take it well when Lou starts marketing her B and B as a retreat for the recently heartbroken.

But as the Comeback Inn opens its doors to its weary, hopeful guests, Lou and Henry find themselves dancing around both their undeniable connection and the closely held secrets that threaten to topple this fragile new start. A chance at love, here, could be too close to home…or it could be exactly where their hearts finally heal.

“A big, beautiful, beating heart of a story about giving help and learning to accept it.”
—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Poignant and life-affirming, this is contemporary romance at its absolute finest!"
—Sarah Adler, USA Today bestselling author of Finders Keepers

“Cozy and utterly charming, The Heartbreak Hotel left us wanting never to check out.”
—Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of Book Boyfriend
