I Love You Today (Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 2) by Julie Navickas – Review by Beverly Finnie

I Love You Today by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved, I Love You Today! I actually enjoyed it more than book 1 in this series. The author takes the reader on another rollercoaster involving one of the Templeton twins.
Austin is lost. The woman he loves is marrying his twin brother. How does one get over heartbreak? Not just heartbreak though, he could lose his best friend too because of his actions. Not that Mavis helped one bit. What she did made me not care much for her and what she does throughout this book made me really dislike her. Despite Austin’s past transgressions I feel like nobody is giving him the benefit of the doubt. Everything always comes back to Mavis.
Casey just lost her roommate and best friend to the west coast. Seeing a hurting kindred spirit in Austin helps him get away from the awkward, of his twin brother and his new fiancée. Despite her insecurities she goes to bat for Austin on multiple occasions against Mavis. Mavis warns her to stay away, which I feel like she’s being selfish after stringing him along. But what happens when Casy can’t stay away?
Is Austin into her or is she just a rebound?
Has Mavis gotten into her head?
One trip to a Cubs game changes everything for these two.
The character development for both Casey and Austin is leaps and bounds ahead of book 1. Which is what makes me love Austin’s redemption story that much more. It’s sort of a redemption story for Casey too but in a different light.
If you’re stumbling upon this review without having read any of the books in this series, I encourage you to read book 1 first. They go together like two peas in a pod. If you’ve read book 1, what are you reading this for? Why aren’t you already jumping into book 2?
