Beck saved me when I was at my lowest, took me into his home and his heart—breathed life back into me and made me feel like I was worthy of love. I’ve never stopped loving him. How could I? He was, and still is, everything to me. Now that I’m back to take care of my dying father, I want him back. I want to earn his trust and his love back. I thought for sure my leaving would be a lifted burden for him. So why does it seem like I wasn’t the only one who ended up broken the day I left? Beck Hart—The first time my eyes met Roman’s, I was lost. I fell head over heels in love with him. And when I showed up one day and saw the bruises mottling his skin and the fear in his eyes, I knew I had to save him. He was everything to me. Until the day he disappeared, leaving only his blood behind. I spent ten years in stasis, unable to move on, not even knowing if he was dead or alive. Now he’s back—sending me notes, bringing me flowers, and begging for another chance. How am I supposed to refuse when the hole he left behind has never been filled by anything or anyone else? How am I supposed to say yes when I can’t trust that he won’t leave me again? Stitched Hearts is a second chance romance—filled with years of pining and mutual heartbreak, snarky best friends, meaningful connections, green flag, broken men who find their way back to themselves and each other, and a love that has lasted a lifetime. This book has heavy themes including—physical and emotional abuse (parental), alcoholism (not the main characters), and depictions of liver failure/dementia.

Holden Nash. Was introducing myself to the insanely hot, giant of a man at the club with a formal handshake the best move? Probably not. So why, you may ask, did I do it again the very next week when I came face to face with him in the hospital while I was working? Ugh. Who knows? Probably didn’t help that I pretended I didn’t know who he was... moreHolden Nash. Was introducing myself to the insanely hot, giant of a man at the club with a formal handshake the best move? Probably not. So why, you may ask, did I do it again the very next week when I came face to face with him in the hospital while I was working? Ugh. Who knows? Probably didn’t help that I pretended I didn’t know who he was. Oops? It’s bad enough that I couldn’t stop thinking about him and our random one-off, but then I gave him my number—so he could text me if he had questions about his daughter’s care, that’s all. Now he’s sending me pictures of her adorable sticker covered face, and telling me how calm and relaxed I make him feel. The worst part? He makes me feel the same way. I didn’t think anyone could do that. Julian Foster. I figured three years was enough time to get back out there. Or at least to break my streak. It’s tough being a widower and a single dad. I knew I messed up basically the second Holden shook my hand and settled those stunning green eyes on me. Was it a little unconventional? Sure. But also, adorable. That’s not even the worst of it. No man that pretty should also have back dimples, a gorgeous smile, and the uncanny ability to calm me down at even the most stressful moments. I really wasn’t planning on texting him for non Wren related things, even though I wanted to. Technically? I didn’t. You can only listen to your toddler go on and on about her ‘Holden Stickers’ for so long before you break. She’s completely enamored with him. Same, baby girl. Same. Healed Hearts is a single dad romance with tons of swoon and sweet love, healing from the past, and embracing a new future. While Healed Hearts can probably be read as a standalone, it will be best enjoyed after reading Stitched Hearts. less

Nic Adler: I thought I had it all—best friend, loving fiancé, amazing mom—but it doesn’t take much for the world to destroy all you hold dear. Now Mom’s gone, Silas and Leo are with each other after having an affair, and I’m alone. For now, at least. I have a brother. I didn’t know he existed, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know I do, either. I want to find him. I want to belong again. Then I show up in a small town in Montana and run into Eli... moreNic Adler: I thought I had it all—best friend, loving fiancé, amazing mom—but it doesn’t take much for the world to destroy all you hold dear. Now Mom’s gone, Silas and Leo are with each other after having an affair, and I’m alone. For now, at least. I have a brother. I didn’t know he existed, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know I do, either. I want to find him. I want to belong again. Then I show up in a small town in Montana and run into Eli. Now I’m volunteering with him, hanging out with his family, and falling so fast I can barely breathe. Packing up my belongings and leaving was the easy part. Ignoring my attraction to Eli is proving to be much harder. He’s smart, unfailingly kind, and he makes me feel seen. He chases away the loneliness. I feel real when I’m with him. But he’s not mine, and I can’t make him mine. Not even just because of our age difference—although that plays its own role. I’ve already lost everything once, but I’m starting to think it might be worth the risk of doing it again—as long as I can keep him. Tangled Hearts is the fourth and final installment of the Mended Hearts series. It can be read as a standalone, but to get full enjoyment of the found family dynamics, it would be best to read the previous books. less
