Amie Knight has taken us back to her <i>Hearts<\/i> series with an emotional, sweet, fun, sexy and gorgeously romantic love story between two people who lost everything, and unexpectedly get a second chance at love.<\/p>\n<p>This book is loosely connected to book #2 in the <i>Hearts<\/i> series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=27279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Steel Heart<\/a>. In that book we met Holden, a soldier who struggled with the death of his best friend while they were both on deployment. In a beautiful tie-in, Emily is the widow of Holden\u2019s best friend, Andrew. And while Holden and Miranda both feature in this book, you can read this as a standalone.<\/p>\n<p>Emily\u2019s world was shattered when her husband was killed in action. But she held herself together for the sake of their daughter, Parker. Years later, and their lives are mostly solitary, with only each other to lean on, but they\u2019ve packed themselves up and moved to a small town near Holden and Miranda, and are busily settling in to their new life. And it\u2019s while embracing her new life that Emily is on a girl\u2019s night out, and shares a sizzling connection with a stranger at a bar. That connection turns into a blisteringly hot one-night-stand which is completely out of character, but which absolutely rocks her world. Weston is an ex-marine who is grieving his own loss. Like Emily, his life is pretty isolated, and limited to one-off hook-ups, but his night with Emily turns out to be more than he was ever expecting.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the heaviness of Weston and Emily\u2019s losses, and the grief that they are both still dealing with, there\u2019s a fantastic sense of fun to this book. The attraction between them is intense, but neither of them expect it \u2013 or particularly want it \u2013 so we get this fabulous dynamic that is so entertaining. The chemistry between them is absolutely electric and it influences everything between them. The snark and banter is fantastic, they bicker and fight, they tease and flirt, and the sexy time is seriously hot! And when Weston realises just how deep he\u2019s gotten, it\u2019s all on.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>I\u2019d figure it out. We\u2019d figure it out together because there was no way in hell that I could stay away from her any longer. I was done with that bullshit. I was done pretending that she wasn\u2019t mine. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh Weston *dreamy sigh*. He\u2019s a fantastic romantic hero who reminded me a bit of a Kristen Ashley hero \u2013 and that\u2019s always a good thing. He\u2019s a motorcycle riding alpha who says things how it is, and isn\u2019t afraid to push when it comes to getting what he wants. But he\u2019s a big softie underneath, a wonderful combination of determination and swoony romance, and God, I loved him!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI didn\u2019t plan on this. I didn\u2019t plan on you. But I\u2019m damn sure not giving you up.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is such a great story. I loved the back and forth between these two, and while that can lead to frustration in other books, here it worked because the chemistry is so freaking good! I could feel everything that they were feeling, and I loved being swept up with them. I could also empathise with both of them. We see the depth of their grief, and their fear of opening their hearts to someone again, and watching them work hard to overcome it and find the strength to put themselves out there all over again is a beautiful journey.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cShe makes me want to try again \u2026 She makes me want to live.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>He was undoing me, breaking me down, little by little, until he owned every bit of my soul and I was letting him because I was helpless against it.<br \/>\nI was done fighting this thing between us, I was ready to burn with him. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is some drama, but it\u2019s understandable, and it\u2019s just a matter of watching them work through it to get to the beautiful HEA that had me grinning like a fool.<\/p>\n<p>I loved this book so much. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me swoon so hard. Such a great read.<\/p>\n<p>5 stars!<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Heart

long as she could remember and a romance lover since she could get her hands on her momma\u2019s books. A dedicated wife and mother with a love of music and makeup, she won\u2019t ever be seen leaving the house without her eyebrows and eyelashes done just right. When she isn\u2019t reading and writing, you can catch her jamming out in the car with her two kids to \u201990s R&amp;B, country, and showtunes. Amie draws inspiration from her childhood in Columbia, South Carolina, and can\u2019t imagine living anywhere other than the South.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Stay up to date with Amie Knight by signing up for her\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2xR67xb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MAILING LIST<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/authoramieknight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/authoramieknigh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/amie_knight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.authoramieknight.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/amieknight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Goodreads<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IOzy8z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/amieknightssocialites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Join Amie\u2019s reader group<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; A Wild Heart, an all-new single mom second chance standalone romance full of heat and emotion from USA Today bestselling author Amie Knight is\u00a0available now! &nbsp; Amazon\u00a0 |\u00a0 Amazon Worldwide\u00a0 |\u00a0 Paperback &nbsp; Blurb [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","yasr_overall_rating":5,"yasr_post_is_review":"","yasr_auto_insert_disabled":"","yasr_review_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,9,1036,29],"tags":[59,848,1426,48],"class_list":["post-66953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drama","category-romance","category-single-parent","category-steamy","tag-arc","tag-emery-rose","tag-hearts-series","tag-review"],"yasr_visitor_votes":{"stars_attributes":{"read_only":false,"span_bottom":false},"number_of_votes":0,"sum_votes":0},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/A-Wild-Heart.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7gaNL-hpT","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=66953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/66558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=66953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=66953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=66953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
