What do you do if your new intern at work turns out to be your secret – and hated – accidental husband?

Fia, an Irish lawyer based in a swanky, upmarket NYC law firm, has been given an intern for ten weeks over the summer. The only problem? Ten years ago she got accidentally married while on a wild night out in Vegas to someone she barely knew, but actively hated. They both signed a contract to get back in touch exactly one year from then to officially divorce . . . but she's never heard from him since.

And now, Ben, her still-husband, is standing in her office, waiting to be her intern.

With a promotion on the cards if Fia can stick this out, Fia and Ben have no choice but to pretend they know nothing about each other, regardless of what their marriage certificate might say.

The second novel from the author of Twelve Days in May, this is The Hating Game meets What Happens in Vegas, all with Niamh's one-of-a-kind hilarious voice.

Micky's 4 star review

*Please see my note at the bottom about the harmful medical joke in this book.*

The Break-Up Clause was an easy read to crush in one day. It was fun, engaging and the pages turned themselves almost. The MCs Fiadh (Fia) and Benjamin were reunited after eight years in a New York law firm. Their past was a mess of non-connection and bad decisions. Their present and future was full of biccering and a slow journey to like, kindling into more.

I love a good office setting for a contemporary romance. This was low angst, low steam but full of chemistry. There was a really curious side plot about the mysterious George and I wondered where that would end up. I think that was mainly a mechanism for Niamh to work through some of her issues on issues.

Both MCs were likeable even when they were together. I didn't understand Benjamin but he slowly grew on me like ivy, revealing a deeper person. The time frame worked well considering it was tagged onto a past experience.

Overall a fun read.

*Now to my issue from the beginning. On page 7 of this book is a harmful 'joke' about strokes. There is absolutely no reason for it; it is totally unnecessary. I happened to read this book on Father's day, a day I struggle with because my father died of a stroke in his brain stem and we had to withdraw care in the ICU. This is why any cheap shot at any medical condition is harmful, these words hurt people. The author and the editors need to do better.*
