HEARTS MADE OF STONE: There's a Lot to Like (and a Nerd)

[Untreed]

Good premise, good characters, good pacing... and a nerd:

In a world where reality TV seems to be taking over and originally crafted shows are falling to the waste side, where you can select a husband from a buffet of twenty-five men or higher a Millionarie Matchmaker to set you up with the love of your life, Hearts Made of Stone is a fitting tale to show the consequences of trusting technology and the mass media to find you ‘true love.’

Head over to TeAmNeRd ReViEwS to read the full breakdown and check out a book excerpt at Untreed Reads.

Hearts Made of Stone by Arthur C. Carey:

Breaking up is hard to do. So why not get someone else to do it for you? Better still, why not capitalize on romantic failure and turn it into a profitable business?

That's the plan Aaron Felting and Dana Larson hatch over tea and cookies after meeting in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Although Aaron falls for Dana, he soon finds she’s more interested in being the CEO of their successful Silicon Valley startup created to end the romantic entanglements of strangers than their own relationship.

How much more interested? Let's just say Aaron is about to get something worse than a cold shoulder...

A novelette.
