THE BEAUTIFUL HEARTS DUET BY EMMA SCOTT

11/4/2018

This post will contain the review for both books in the Beautiful Hearts Duet by Emma Scott. If you haven't read these two books yet I highly recommend doing so. They are beautiful, emotional, and so damn heartwarming once the story completes.

Rating: ★★★★★
Release Date: August 18, 2018
Genre: College & Military Romance
Series: The Beautiful Hearts Duet #1
Pages: 285 pages
Format: eBook. Borrowed from Kindle Unlimited.

I fell for Connor Drake. I didn’t want to; I fought against it, but I fell in love with him anyway. With his words. With his poetry. With him. The gentleness and beauty of his soul that speaks directly to mine. He writes as if he can feel my heart, hear its cadence and compose the exact right lyrics to accompany every beat and flow.

I’m in love with Connor…so why do I feel an inexplicable pull to his best friend, Weston? Grouchy, sullen, brooding Weston Turner, who could cut you down with a look. Fiercely intelligent with a razor sharp wit and acid tongue, he’s the exact opposite of Connor in every way, and yet there’s electricity in the air between us. The thorny barbs Weston wraps around himself can’t keep me away.

But the more time I spend with these men, the more tangled and confused my emotions become. When they both sign up for the Army Reserves during a time of increasing strife in the Middle East,

I’m Luciana Wright.
Everyone calls me Lucky, but when it comes to love, I’m anything but.

I have a long history of dating the wrong men.

You know the ones I’m talking about.

DOUBLE REVIEW: THE LEFT SIDE OF PERFECT & THE RIGHT SIDE OF FOREVER BY MEGHAN QUINN

Meghan Quinn has outdone herself with this series. I adored it so much! I would recommend reading the Blue Line Duet before this one to get a look at the emotion surrounding this duet, but you don't technically have to! Highly recommended!

For better or for worse,'til death do us part . . .

The better captured me; she's who stole my heart.
And made me realize I couldn’t live without this woman.
The worse of her took my breath away--kicked me when I was down and twisted me into a million knots.

When I first met her, I thought she was someone I would never see again.
The second time I ran into her, it was a random coincidence.
The third?
I didn’t know it at the time, but she was the girl I was going to marry.

But life isn’t always perfect. You have to take the better and the

THE DOWNSIDE OF LOVE BY MEGHAN QUINN

This book, as part of an overall duet, is absolutely stunning! Meghan has hit the mark on this book and made my heart feel full. I loved it to pieces!

This isn’t a story about a love triangle. There is no triangle involved.
This isn’t a story about an accidental pregnancy. Although having a baby with her . . . I would.
This isn’t a story about lies and deception, even though at times I’ve lied to myself.

No, this is my story.

A story about sacrifice.
A story about a man who fell in love with the wrong girl.
A story I wish I never had to tell.

This is a story about the true meaning of the downside of love.

WHAT HE ALWAYS KNEW BY KANDI STEINER

Left or right.

It’s that simple, and it isn’t simple at all.

If I turn left, the road will lead me back to the man I promised my life to, the one I’d imagined building a family with, the one who’s done everything in his power to get me back.

If I turn right, the road will take me to the man I loved first, the man who brought me back to life, the man who would do anything to keep me.

I knew the fork in the road was inevitable; it was the decision I never wanted to make between choices I didn't know I had.

On the northeast side of town, there is a house.

The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future.

Inside its walls are many things that belong to me — my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me.

And a man.

A man who also belongs to me.

A man I no longer wish to keep.

A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising.
