Heart of Glass Nicole Jacquelyn



Description:
The next standalone novel from Nicole Jacquelyn about love, friendship, and forgiveness.

Henry Harris was living his dream as a staff sergeant in the Marines. When he's killed in action, his devastated family is in for one more shock: he had a daughter they never knew about.

Morgan Riley has been raising Etta on her own, and that's always been fine by her - until Henry's brother Trevor arrives on her doorstep, willing to do anything to help and make up for his brother's mistakes. Their attraction feels wrong, but Morgan can't seem to turn him away.

Trevor is suddenly in too deep. He has always wanted a family, but Etta and Morgan come with complications. Yet as Etta brings them closer together, Trevor begins to imagine giving Morgan and Etta the life his brother never could. But he wonders if Morgan will ever learn to trust another man with her heart, especially a man whose last name is Harris.




My thoughts on the book:

Morgan has a two-year-old and she will stop at nothing to protect her little girl even it that is from her fathers family.  Trevor seeks out to find the women who hold the last tie to his brother. When finds her he doesn't know what he expected but he never expected to be attracted to her. Can they work together for Etta and their families and protect their hearts?

I usually don't like books that are told in a first person, however in this book the author did a good job at giving a perspective from both main characters. I really am not sure what I thought of this book. It flows well and you're not left guessing whats going to happen. I really liked how the author gave a big role to Etta she was always sassy and fun to read. I liked Morgan and how she was strong and broken but willing to put her love for her sister and her family no matter what. Trevor has a big heart and also will do anything to protect his family and those he loves. The characters deal with lots of emotional and hard tropics. I feel like the amount of strong language I could have done without.  
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Unbreak My Heart Nicole Jacquelyn




Whats the book about?

What do you do when your soul mate marries your best friend?

If you're Kate Evans, you keep your friend Rachel, bond with her kids, and bury your feelings for her husband. The fact that Shane's in the military and away for long periods helps-but when tragedy strikes, everything changes.
After Rachel, pregnant with her fourth child, dies in a car accident and the baby miraculously survives, Kate upends her entire life to share parenting duties. Then on the first anniversary of Rachel's death, Kate and Shane take comfort in each other in a night that they both soon regret.
Shane's been angry for a year, and now he feels guilty too - for sleeping with his wife's best friend and liking it . . . liking her. Kate's ability to read him like a book may have once sent Shane running, but their lives are forever entwined and they are growing closer.
Now with Shane deployed for seven months, Kate is on her own and struggling with being a single parent. Shane is loving and supportive from thousands of miles away, but his homecoming brings a betrayal Kate never saw coming. So Kate's only choice is to fight for the future she deserves - with or without Shane.



My review of the book?

Kate has always been in love with Shane but now that he's married to her best friend she knows that the only she can do is continue to be aunt Kate to her best friends kids. It's not like it matters much anyway Shane has always hated her. After Rachel dies unexpectedly Kate bonds grows even more with her and Shane's kids, but when Shane treats like hired help Kate is torn between staying to help with the kids or going on her way without them in fear of losing them completely. Shane is morning the loss of his wife and has had it with his wive's best friend always around but he knows he needs her there for the kids as he sets to go on deployment. After she drops a bombshell on him he wonders what more he could dislike her for after all its always been her fault right? Well, he is able to see past his grief and he and Katie work together to be amazing parents to the kids or will he finally push one too many buttons and push Katie away for good?
          I usually don't like books that are told in a first person, however in this book the author did a good job at giving a perspective from both main characters. Each chapter was broken up to show Kate's view then Shane's view. I didn't not like Shane at all even in the end, to me he was a huge jerk who had an abusive behavior and it seemed that in his eyes Kate could never do anything right. Kate's no-nonsense attitude just made me love her, at the end of the day you always knew where she stood. While she took a lot of crap from a lot of people in her life she still seemed like a very strong independent woman. I loved all the kids and there personality and how big of a role their little lives played in the book. The story is about loss and family and is a quick read I had a hard time putting it down once the story picked up, the storyline is well put together and keeps you drawn in.
   *Strong Language throughout
