“This is new for me, but it’s new for her, too. We are both two broken souls, fractured in opposite ways. She loved and lost… And I was lost before I could ever love at all.”
I had my future all planned out. A fairytale.
Then, on my five-year wedding anniversary, my dreams shatter. My husband is cruelly ripped away from me, leaving my broken heart behind.
But he leaves another heart behind, too… His.
Drowning in grief, I reach out to his heart recipient, while seeking solace in a support group for fellow lost souls. Determined to find the bright, optimistic woman I used to be, I never expect what awaits me there.
Enter Parker.
Dark, brooding, emotionally detached. He’s the opposite of me in every way, yet I’m inexplicably drawn to him. As our bond deepens, so do the secrets that come to light, challenging everything I thought I knew about love and loss, and blurring the line between heartache and hope.
In a world where hearts break, I lost mine once.
Now, another heart holds the power to heal me… or destroy me.
Jennifer Hartmann does it again and breaks my heart!!! I have not read a book by her that was not above a four star rating! The book is not light. It is not “suns and flowers” type of love story. It has loss and grief in it. The first 100 pages or so are hard to read because of the sadness and depressive mood of it. The book deals with hard topics. The characterization is great, there are enough monologues and dialogues to get to know them. I knew going in the author would crack my heart wide open and slowly put it back together, and she did just that. She sets the bar high with every book and has yet to disappoint me.
4.5 star rating for this one! The plot twist is unexpected and I loved it. It took me by surprise. The book definitely convinces you about how real their love and connection is. I believed in it. I felt it. And I never questioned if she loved him as much as her husband or not. They were totally two very different relationships. This book was beautiful, in the most tragic of ways. These characters are so vivid and multilayered. My heart broke for both of them. If you’re looking for a romance that will be a straight punch to the feels and that will stay with you for a long while, do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
