This is a hard book for me to rate and review because it didn’t meet my expectations. I'm a conservative reader.  Going into it I thought this was a clean romance and I was half way in before I realized there was more content than I am comfortable with.  It was pitched to me as sweet and sassy which it was but I’m a “closed” door kind of reader and in this book the door was cracked open.  It wasn’t wide open, it wasn’t explicit or erotic, just more than I like to read.I went and read Bliss’s Submission guidelines:Bliss is seeking uplifting, heartwarming stories.. The editors are looking for fresh, contemporary voices that reflect the trials and tribulations of modern love in America. The focus should be on family, home, a strong sense of community, and ultimately happiness, but the tone can be anything from snarky to emotional to nostalgic and everything in between.This book did meet those guidelines.  Family, home, community, ultimate happiness… it was all there.  It was a fun read but I was left skimming several pages through the second half of the book due to the sexual content.  I’m not giving up on Bliss yet as their submission guidelines also say: Stories should be closed door to non-explicit sexual language.  I’ll be looking for a “closed door” release as I really did enjoy the heartwarming story and it did have an uplifting message of change and second chances.Real Men Don’t Break Hearts was a cute story with a lot of fun interactions between the main characters.  I enjoyed the banter between Ally & Nate.  It was one of those books where the heroines perceived worst enemy isn’t as bad as he seems kind of books.  I really liked Nate and was pleased to see him transform from bad boy to knight in shinning armor.Recommended to those who enjoy heartwarming romance and don’t mind a little heat.Rating: 3.5 Stars – Good BookContent: Language and some sexual contentSource: Review CopyGenre/Reading Level: Adult Romance 18+
