Hot damn! I wish my local Wal-Mart had a few hunks I could go and pick up with the rest of things I would normally get. Hope Breaks was a fun, fast read that really engaged me from the start. Alice Bello wrote a novella that seemed "real" to me.Hope Jones is a photographer that is working for a publishing house making romance novel covers. She wakes up with a tremendous headache and no fresh pictures for her next project.  On top of that, the modeling agency doesn't have any available models for her to shoot. Hope is stressed out, and lonely. She hasn't been on a date in over two years. To try to combat her headache, Hope ventures to Wal-Mart in search of some relief, and then her car breaks down. She finds not only two good-looking candidates for her photo shoot needs, but also she runs into an old friend of her brother, the hunky mechanic at the Wal-Mart Auto Department.Jake Troy is the answer to her car troubles, and possibly her dating troubles as well. When Jake offers to drive her home on his lunch break because it will take him a while to get to fixing her car, the sparks immediately fly. He is just too good-looking for words, and he is obviously attacted to Hope.Hope and Jake were characters that were really easy to like. They were genuine and relatable. I truly enjoyed reading this novella, and I hope that this is not the end of the road for Jake and Hope. The ending broke my heart a little. I really didn't see what was coming. Alice Bello wrote a fun, sexy and witty novella, and I look forward to reading more from her.
