Seven Ways to Lose Your Lover

Romance Contemporary

Shane Madison has a unique skill that she has previously shared only with friends. She hates confrontations, so when she wants out of a relationship, Shane "makes" the guy break up with her. When she needs money to buy into a business, her friends suggest that she share her special techniques with other women and men who need them. Unsure about whether she's earning bad karma by showing women how to act so that they get dumped, Shane goes ahead with the plan.

But there's one guy who's dumping Shane orchestrated who actually turns out to be worth keeping. But will he forgive Shane's sideline business when he finds out that's how he got dumped by his last girlfriend?

Ms. Holliday's quirky humor comes through in this unique take on romance. While there are numerous books about people who specialize in finding romance for others, this is the first I've seen about someone who helps people get OUT of relationships. A fun, light read.

SUMMARY

Like so many women, Shane Madison hates confrontation. But also like a lot of women, sometimes Shane just wants a guy to hit the road, and fast. The solution: get them to break up with her. She started honing her techniques after the first guy she dumped-way back in eleventh grade- threw a baseball bat at her car, and since then she's become a master at getting men to make the first move (in the other direction). She's even shared her secrets with her girlfriends.

But some men, it turns out, just aren't made for dumping. And Shane's kick-him-to-the-curb advice might just come back to kick her in the you-know-what, when she starts dating a gorgeous new guy-who, unbeknownst to her, is out for a little revenge after his last girlfriend took Shane's advice.
