Finding Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 2)Finding Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I gotta say this story was pretty dang adorable. Rachel gets stood up for a dinner date, and Miguel swoops in to save her night. You could literally see the chemistry burning right off the pages. Rachel is frustrated because she has high hopes in a date that ends with not so great results. So she tries everything, but realizes with Miguel, that just because you might not be someone’s cup of tea, but there is always one out there that you are their cup of tea. I honestly am a sucker when the guy makes food for the girl. In most stories it’s the other way around, so seeing this different switch was a breath of fresh air. It was pretty cool seeing Ryan and Tess as side characters in this book. The acceptance by both sides was phenomenal. I can’t wait to read more from Julie!

Trusting Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 1)Trusting Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story of Tess and Ryan was super sweet. My heart broke when the evens with Ryan and his longtime girlfriend/fiancé broke it off. But I’m glad he did because I did not like her one bit. Tess wasn’t my favorite in the beginning, but as she began to grow and learn from her past mistakes she got better. The self-loathing did seem a little much, but both were stuck in the spiral of self-depreciation, and that’s sometimes hard to get out of. Julie really did an excellent job with this story and I really enjoyed it a lot. The spice was there and the romance progression was really well done! The storytelling was done beautifully and It was a good pallet cleanser between my dark romance stories.

Finding Love is the second book in the Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy by Julie Navickas. This is a sweet, heart-tugging contemporary romance story about letting go of the past in order to embrace the future. About journeying through heartache, by finding the healing power of love.
This is Rachel Prescott and Miguel Rodriguez story- who were wonderfully developed individuals, beautifully flawed with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. Rachel has been unlucky in finding love, her experiences begin to weigh on her. While Miguel has had his own heartache when it came to love. But love always finds a way. Together they became so much ‘more’.
Looking forward to Chasing Love (Book #3).
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Julie Navickas!

Trusting Love is the first book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas. It is an angsty and emotional contemporary romance all about new beginnings, redemption, and finding love unexpectedly.
I have to be honest here and say I was not sure I ‘wanted’ to read this book when I first read the blurb as I realised ‘who’ the FMC was. But, as I have always enjoyed the stories that Ms. Navickas has written, I decided to trust her, take a chance, and dive in. And I am soooo glad that I did.
We met Tess Browning in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy, and I didn’t particularly ‘like’ her there (and that’s putting it very mildly)- so I was pretty certain that I wouldn’t like her here either. But, I was so wrong. She, and Ms. Navickas won me over with this heartwarming story of love and redemption!
All the ‘feels’…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Julie Navickas!

Trusting Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 1)Trusting Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Tess Browning has the nickname ‘Little Vixen’ and she has earned it! Playing by the rules just resulted in her having been trapped in a loveless marriage. Commitment and faithfulness are not important to Tess, preferring to keep things ‘fun, flirty and sultry’. Meanwhile Ryan Prescott has been left emotionally damaged and with a broken heart by a past relationship. When Tess and Ryan meet they share an instant connection and Ryan manages to charm his way into her heart. But Ryan is wary after his last relationship and when the details come to light, Tess knows he won’t like her past indiscretions. Therefore, she will do anything to keep him in the dark, but Ryan hates dishonesty and if he finds out her secret it may ruin both their chances at true love. I liked how the story was told from multiple POV’s, but I wasn’t keen on the third person narrative. However, over all I enjoyed the heartwarming and emotional storyline and I found the characters likeable and relatable. Ryan and Tess’s chemistry came across in the narrative and I was hoping they would get their HEA, No Spoilers, I recommend reading this romance to find out the outcome!!

Finding Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 2)Finding Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous book in this series I was looking forward to reading this one, and I was not disappointed. Rachel Prescott is unlucky in love having always dated the wrong men. Miguel Rodriguez is the new owner of restaurant, Pier Ninety-Two and he’s also had difficulties finding love in the past. Then they meet each other at the restaurant, but Rachel is wary of dating again and Miguel is still suffering with a broken heart. However, over a drink or two they get chatting and find that they have an instant connection. Leading them both to start thinking that it may be time to move on after all. Although some of the characters from the previous book ‘pop up’ in this one it can be read as a standalone story. I found both Rachel and Miguel likeable and relatable characters and I was hoping they would both get their HEA. I liked how the story is told from multiple POV’s, as it made me feel more engaged with the characters thoughts. This is a sweet and at times steamy romance which kept me happily turning the pages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I couldn’t get enough after reading Trusting Love, so I jumped straight into this book Finding Love. I don’t usually pay much attention to covers but the covers so far in this series have caught my eye & they fit with the stories well.
This is Rachel & Miguel’s story. Sometimes it feels like you go through a never-ending cycle of Mr Wrongs & a Mr Right will never turn up & that is certainly the case for Rachel. Miguel is everyone’s perfect book boyfriend.
There are characters we have met before & new ones to welcome into the fold. This RomCom is filled with many emotions, that will make you laugh, cause a sniffle or two & sometimes there is the outright sweetness & cringe factor with a little quirkiness thrown in.
Finding Love is filled with music, witty banter, families, heartache, & heartbreak but there has never been a romance that has been so sweet & a lot quirky.
Bring on the third book in the Trilogy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the Trading Heartbeats trilogy & now Tess has her own Trilogy in Clumsy Litte Hearts. I was so excited when I saw this, so I clicked, & it became mine.
Julie has the knack to have found the perfect formula to a perfect love story. Anybody that has not read anything by Julie, I encourage you to do so. I know you won’t be disappointed because I have become addicted. There is much to learn in Julie’s language of love.
Trusting Love is a wonderfully passionate & steamy tale. The characters are beautifully written, & I have fallen in love again. This complex tale is woven together with broken hearts, broken trust, broken souls, love, sweat, passion, pain, tears, & humour. It is an emotive tale yet there are times that had me laughing as well.
I was so enamoured with this story that I read it in one go. I enjoyed it so much I am off to read the next book in the Trilogy, Finding Love.

I like that Miguel and Rachel get together in a good time. It’s not super fast pace but also not a slow burn either. It’s like a romcom. Which I absolutely enjoy. I like getting both perspectives. Definitely a must read.<br />
