Queen of Broken HeartsPublisher Hyperion, March 2006
Critiques/Reviews
|
| "Cassandra King’s QUEEN OF
BROKEN HEARTS is an absolutely fabulous story of
healing and hope. Filled with irresistible
characters that are beautifully drawn and have
great insights into life, I laughed and cried
and you will too. Isn’t it typical that some
people have advice for everyone but can’t get
their own life in gear? I absolutely adored this
book! Congratulations Cassandra King on a
monumental success!" -- Dorothea Benton Frank, author of Full of Grace |
| "...a wonderful and
uplifting tale. Full of romance and surprises
along the way." -- Fannie Flagg, author of Fried Green Tomatoes and Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven |
| "This novel about
friendship, heartache, self-discovery and
love—in all its wounding, wacky, and wonderful
forms—had me laughing out loud, and then moved
me to tears." -- Sandra Brown, author of Ricochet |
| “These are not ‘The Same
Sweet Girls,’ but all those who loved that novel
will love this one even more. Cassandra King's
characters are fully drawn, richly imagined
human beings, whose lives will continue to
resonate long after you've turned the last page.
“ -- Mark Childress, author of One Mississippi |
| "I just finished Queen of
Broken Hearts and agree it's her best book yet.
I was walking around the house with the book in
my hand since I couldn't put it down. I'll blurb
it next week for BookSense - I know it will be a
# 1 pick!" -- Sally Brewster, Park Road Books |

It’s
not easy being the Queen of Broken Hearts. Just ask
Clare, who has willingly assumed the mantle while her
career as a divorce coach thrives. Now she’s preparing
to open a permanent home for the retreats she leads, on
a slice of breathtaking property on the Alabama coast
owned by her mother-in-law. Make that former mother in
law, a colorful eccentric who teaches Clare much about
love and sacrifice and living freely. When Clare’s
marriage ends in tragedy, her work becomes the sole
focus of her life. While Clare has no problems helping
the hundreds of men and women who seek her advice to
mend their broken hearts, healing her own is another
matter entirely. Falling in love again is the last thing
she wants. So when Lex- a charismatic, charming, burly
sea captain- moves to town the run the marina, Claire
insists they remain friends and nothing more. But even
though she fights it, she begins to fall for him only to
find she has a rival, his estranged wife Elinor.
