Sam Bennett falls for Hadley St. Clair before he knows her last name. When Sam finds out she is that St. Clair, daughter of the man who destroyed Sam’s family, he has a choice: follow his heart or tell the truth about the scandal that links their families. Funny and passionate, Suffer Love is a story about first love, family dysfunction, and the fickle hand of fate.

Review

Do you want angst?

Do you want roller coaster emotions?
Do you want to throat punch a character and secretly hope for the best at the same time?
Do you want to be invested enough to plot how the main characters can divorce their parents?
If so you have come to the right book, Suffer Love is all that and more.  I promise that you will want to throat punch at least one character. You will contemplate how to get the kids to divorce their parents.  You will want to a happily ever after.
I quit this book at Chapter 34. I put my kindle down and ran. Why you ask?  Because I am a hopeless romantic, I long for the happy ending.  I long for the alternate ending for Romeo and Juliet.  I look for the silver lining in any story. And because gosh darn it, I want Hadley and Sam to work.
So after I threw my tantrum and washed dishes, I picked up my kindle at chapter 34 and read the last two pages of the book.  Don’t cheat.  No skimming the book to find out the ending, because unless you read it it won’t matter.
I loved reading this because I am a hopeless romantic.  I finished it with hope and conflicting questions in my heart.  I may have even sent a snippy PM to Ashley Herring Blake to find out anything I could.
Hadley and Sam are both from broken homes.  Each one is dealing or not in their own way. For one reason or another, they seem to be the connection each needs to get through their loss. One secret holds their future in the air…
Relationships are built on trust, but when the truth comes out will it hold or crumble. – Reviewed by Becky Rendon
