Book Description
Hearts on Fire is the first book in the Hearts Trilogy, a steamy romance about first love, betrayal, and finding forgiveness. It is not a standalone.
First love is like fire…
I was a hopeless romantic.
Butterflies in your stomach, stars in your eyes… yeah, that kind of romantic.
When I met Tyler, it was love at first sight.
It flickered in the beginning, then blazed to life. We were an inferno and it consumed us.
As our worlds turn in different directions and we head to different colleges, I worry we won’t withstand the uncertainty of our futures.
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder.
I just hope he remembers he’s taking mine with him.
♥♥♥
Football was my life.
I’d been training for the pros ever since I could remember.
Nothing was going to get in my way. Not even changing schools my senior year of high school.
Then I met Kyla and my whole world flipped upside down. The beautiful blond stole my heart from the moment we met.
It was love at first sight.
Going to different colleges will be difficult, but nothing can tear me away from my favorite cheerleader.
Being an all-star quarterback won’t change me a bit.
She’ll always be my favorite end zone.
Kyla and Tyler’s story continues in Shattered Hearts the second book in the Hearts Trilogy.
My Review
Kyla and Tyler meet in high school and fall hard for each other. Things go well until they go off to college, two different colleges and more than an hour apart. Tyler is a quarterback on the football team so he's pretty busy. But they make things work. Then Tyler gets drunk and makes a huge mistake. I knew beforehand after reading the blurb that this is not a standalone book and would probably end on a cliffhanger but I read it anyway to see how it was. I have to say I was intrigued by these two but after they started being intimate with each other that ended up being 90% of what this book was. Even so, I kept reading since I felt like I wanted to see what was going to happen.
This book ends abruptly and I kinda knew it was coming and I figure the next book will be all about them trying to work things out at some point but I don't think I can read anymore of these two since they just seem to act too childish for me to relate to them. But if you like first time love and coming of age type romance you might like this one more than I did.
I give this book 2 out of 5 stars.
It doesn't sound like it is for me - thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteSounds like the book could have used a few aliens and shapeshifters.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣
Deletelmao Yes, that would have been better.
DeleteHi! Thanks for stopping by the other day. Nice to meet you. I read your post about problems in the 'hood and like every where, there is always someone to stir up trouble or disturbance. I am a real book worm, but not so much into the romance kind. Easy mysteries or a bit of 20th Century early history novels. Lynn and Precious
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Thanks for stopping by here. There are trouble makers everywhere. I read a lot too but mostly paranormal romance.
DeleteI think I have an inkling what the "big mistake" is about...This one sounds like your average teen romance with the added bonus of wild sex LOL. No thanks.
ReplyDeletelmao Yes, exactly.
Deletetoo bad on this one
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteIt's good that the author was right up front about this ending on a cliffhanger. Sometimes I like to read three or four books on one story. Sorry this one wasn't worth continuing past the cliffhanger.
ReplyDeleteI like to know up front. If this had been better I would have kept reading.
DeleteDarn cliffhangers! Well, I guess we can only wonder the next thing is that will happen. I used to read romance novels, but stopped in my early 20s. I had quite the collection, gave it to a friend. My books are all genealogy, history, church, and the like now. Not very interesting for most people, I think. Ha! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Have a very blessed day, Mary!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome. I mostly read paranormal romance with a few others every once in a while. I say no matter what you're reading as long as you like it, that's a good thing.
DeleteI feel like I'd have a hard time connecting to these characters too.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know I did.
DeleteI hate when a book doesn't work out.
ReplyDeleteI do too.
DeleteOh too bad. No thanks
ReplyDeleteUnderstandable.
DeleteUh oh, another 2?!?! Better luck next time!
ReplyDeleteHopefully.
DeleteUGH. It's good you knew that their HEA wouldn't be at the end of this book, but sounds like they are way too immature to be worth 2 books!
ReplyDeleteYes exactly.
DeleteYeah, I have a low tolerance for the younger coming of age stories unless they are sci-fi or something more like that.
ReplyDeleteYeah I can see why.
DeleteMaybe if it was a standalone I'd give it a try, but I don't have the patience to end on a cliffhanger and then have to wade through another angsty book to get to a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteOh dear ... not a good one!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Nope.
DeleteThe fugly cover is then as good as the inside of it LOL
