Key to His Heart by Kristina Beck – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Key To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which had me hooked from start to finish. Although the story is inspired by true events it is set in a fictional world, and the storyline focuses on single Mum and artist Katrina and TJ, an ex-NFL player, turned chemistry teacher. Katrina has not had an easy life and has never really felt loved, she’s now divorced, and moves to a small town to start a new life, just her and her son Toby. When Kat meets TJ, sparks fly and she feels as though she has been led to him, especially as he appears to be the faceless man she conjured in her mind. As soon as TJ burst through a strangers door and came face to face with Kat and Toby, he’s in love, and he feels his soul telling him they were meant to all be together. Just as Kat tells TJ she’s in love with him, her perfect facade begins to crack and she’s scared that he will leave, like everyone else always has.
TJ doesn’t understand why the best night of his life has ended with the women he’s given his heart to kicking him out of her house. The mixed signals he’s getting are confusing him and he’s worried that she will break his heart. I was totally immersed in this story and in Kat and TJ’s romance, it was obvious they should be together from the moment they met. Their chemistry sizzled off the page and the connection between them really came across in the narrative. They are both such likeable and relatable characters, and I really felt for both of them. I was cheering them on, hoping they would get their well deserved HEA. I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this wonderfully written romance. The storyline does involve some difficult topics, but these are addressed sensitively. A heartwarming and at times heartbreaking read, and one which stayed with me long after I had finished the last page, always a sign of a great book.
