My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Heart’s Escape is Book #3, and the fourth and final instalment in the Fallen Hearts series by Meredith Hart. As with the other books in the series this is a captivating romantic fantasy- with an enemies to lovers theme, action, adventure, magic, danger, drama, desperation, chemistry, spice, challenges/obstacles, emotion, mystery, secrets, tension, intrigue, superb world-building, interesting characters, layers, banter, violence, a quest, and finding love unexpectedly.
This is Phaedron and Alindra’s story, which sees two ‘enemies’ joining forces out of desperation, and perhaps a little a touch of fate. We met Phaedron previously, as he is Rowan’s brother (Heart’s Rescue – Book #1). Desperate times call for desperate measures, and both Phaedron and Alindra have their own reasons for wanting to join forces. But trusting each other is a whole different story. Right? What unfolds makes for a captivating story of finding love in the throes of an adventure.
As I have come to expect from Ms. Hart, this is a richly detailed story with wonderful scene-setting which helped to bring her world, characters, and story, to life. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning, easily connecting to and investing in the characters and the outcome of the story. This was a bit of a bitter-sweet read for me, knowing it was the final in the series- but also needing to know how it all played out in the end.
I wonder what Ms. Hart has in store for us next? I am excited to find out.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Meredith Hart!

Heart's EscapeHeart’s Escape by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third and final book in the Fallen Hearts series by Meredith Hart. There are some things I really liked about this book and others that just fell a little flat – overall though, it is a good book and a good ending to the series.

Just like the other books, this one is written in dual POV. The two main characters are Alindra and Phaedron. Both who have felt extreme pain and wish to escape their reality. It was one major complication after another, and I felt horrible for both of them. Alindra is on the run, and the only place she can go where they may not find her is the Lands Below. Her and Phaedron’s adventure starts quiet literally with a portal opening.

We are introduced in Phaedron in the other books, but this is the first time he is front and center, and you really get to know him better and on a deeper level. There are some other characters that you see that also cross over from the other books, which i enjoyed.

Meredith Hart’s world building skills are amazing, and I can submerge myself into the world easily. If you enjoy romance with a little magic and adventure this is the story and series for you. The way the series wrapped up was done nicely. I definitely recommend reading this book, and series.

What an incredible to a start to a series. I was not disappointed it grabbed a hold of me and wouldn’t let got ill I was done. I couldn’t put it down and could not read it fast enough. This book was so well written I really felt like i was right there along with Lady Arryn the prince and Rowan going thou their own little adventure. the world development to the world was amazing and really made me fall into this other world and almost forget out the world around me. This book captivated me from the beginning that I really am going to get the next books done. I highly recommend this book if you love a fantasy romance with a little twist.

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 1st book in the Hearts Below Series. I blew through this book in one sitting. Truthfully, I liked the romance/relationship between the two main characters, Arryn and Rowan, more than the mystery and adventure in the story.

While the adventure is not boring, it just falls a little flat and I felt there wasn’t many details on what was actually going on besides the people Above thought they were monsters below and the people below thought they were monsters above. There wasn’t much background on why the wicked forced people to suffer down below or why anyone thought they were monsters. There also wasn’t a clear understanding of WHY the King Below wanted to break the barrier. We also don’t know much of Roman’s powers and why people are scared of them. The void itself is also another unknown, but that part didn’t bother me as much. It also was a little confusing how the Royal Guard treated Rowan, sometimes they seemed overly nice and at other times completely hated him – with no context as to why (besides his mysterious powers no one even knows the full extent of).

With that being said, I did very much enjoy how the relationship evolved with Roqan and Arryn. I absolutely loved BOTH of their growth, not only together but in their own separate growth. I love the new Arryn and Rowan, and I enjoyed watching them get to where they ended up by the end of the book. I wish we would have seen a little more interaction with Rowan and Phaedron to really grasp the brotherly bond between them.

I will definitely read book 2 and recommend this series to those who love a little romance with their fantasy and fae characters.

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart’s Rescue (Fallen Hearts) by Meredith Hart is a great fantasy romance series

Rowan is an outcast because of his use of black magic, but he only has one person he cares about: his brother Phaedron. Rowan succeeds in defending his brother Phaedron from a creature from the Worlds Above. Rowan, though, is prepared to give the woman to the king and put an end to monsters once and for all when that first monster is joined by a second, this time a woman yearning for her prince.Any woman would do it for the man she had been brought up to wed. Additionally, saving the prince could be enough to persuade the monarch to approve the marriage that her parents have been attempting to set up for her whole childhood.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Arryn has to rescue the Prince. I mean, when a girl is born and raised to marry said prince and then he just vanishes into the Lands Below what do you expect? She’s not some damsel in distress who’s not going to at least try to save him…but this Land Below is not what she expected.

Rowan cares about one person and when his brother is injured, he’ll do anything to make the culprit from the Worlds Above pay. But when his brother asks, he’s forced to help a second person from that world and do what he can to get her back…

What happens when they get to know each other? Can he let her go when they find the barrier? Will she go back home and happily continue on with her life?

This book starts right in the action! I love when I get pulled in right away and this definitely did that for me. It is compared to ACOTAR and I can definitely seem some similarities in the way the story feels.

Typically this would be a book I’d have flown through, but I don’t think I was in a good space to read it fully. Despite that, I enjoyed it immensely and can’t wait to try again when I’m feeling more in to it.

It has a good level of spice without being too overpowering to the story and enough to bring you back for book 2. Definitely would recommend this for any fantasy romance readers!

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first fantasy/paranormal romance book in the series. In this book we follow the story of Arryn and Rowan. As one of my favourite genres, I was looking forward to getting into this one and I’m glad I did, it was great. There are some mature scenes so I would not recommend for younger readers.
I enjoyed the world that the author created, and the descriptive writing made it feel like I could step into it to join the characters in their adventures. I can’t wait to get my hands on another book in the series just to continue exploring the worlds, so much potential for more great plots – the below and the above!
The plot was incredibly interesting, the above and the below created an intriguing element that had me wanting to know more, there’s so much more to be explored there.
The characters were also well-written, described well so I could picture their mannerisms and features, and believable. I loved both Arryn and Rowan, especially given how they started out. Enemies from different worlds, I enjoyed how they gradually got to know one another and sparks flew. It was a believable and enjoyable transition, and I was rooting for them to the very end. They’re both determined and strong characters, and even with magic, they felt real for me.
I look forward to seeing what the next book will bring!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The author did an amazing job building a world with fantasy and characters where you can connect with them. When I got this book I thought about the Thorne of Glass with so much action and compassion. This book has so much vividness in it.

The main character Arryn is wow… Love how she makes the decisions and how Rowan is brave and knows what he is doing. Most heroes stumble and don’t know what to do.
Since there is a little spicy scene but there is a whole lot of action in this story that makes it amazing.
The connection between Arryn and Rowan was amazing and how their magic works in different ways.

Love this book…

This was an interesting tale. Two worlds completely opposite of each other. But there’s a pull from both Arryn and Rowan want to be apart of the others world. Two polar opposites finding love where they least expect it. They both showed bravery and it was great to see their growth. It was both romantic and quite a journey. I have a ton of questions and hope they will be answered in the next installment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lady Arryn has her whole life planned out for her. How she dresses, the way she talks, even who she will marry. Her beloved is no other than the Prince. When he goes missing after heading to the lands below, Arryn’s mother starts planning out her alternative marriage prospects. Arryn does not want to have to marry anyone other than her Prince. She takes it upon herself to try to find the Prince, instead she falls into a world she was not prepared for.

Rowan and his brother are the only sentry’s left in their small village. One day a monster gets in and kills 3 civilians and takes the arm of Rowans brother. Out for revenge, Rowan hunts down the monster and delivers him to the king. Another monster gets it but this time it is a Lady. She begs for mercy so Rowan takes her home to figure out what to do with her. This starts the adventure of Rowan escorting Lady Arryn home.

This book was a page turner that’s for sure! I loved it from beginning to end. I loved reading about Lady Arryn coming into her own. Being in a different land was freeing for her and it was refreshing to read her character growth. She’s stubborn and sassy but also classy. Rowan is used to living in his brother’s shadow. Rowan is considered a freak due to his unique magic. Arryn brought out the best in him and he slowly gained confidence. They both grew up being taught that the other kingdom is full of monsters. I was rooting for them from day one. The forbidden love. There were twists and turns, romance, adventure. A little bit of everything! I highly recommend checking out this series!

This is the first book in the Fallen Hearts series. This story started off just a little slow but man once you get going it was really good. The world that was built in this story was wonderful. The story of Rowan and Arryn was so captivating. Two people both trapped in their own ways in the world they live. Two people who don’t understand how much they need each other. I can’t wait to continue with this series.

I really liked Arryn and Rowan’s strength and their connection, of course they started out as enemies but eventually realized their feelings and connection. We get so much that you are on the edge of your seat reading. We get steamy, magic, action, danger, and so much more. All of the amazing characters added a great element to the story. We get multiple POV which I really enjoy so you can see what each of them are thinking. I can’t wait to read more from this series and author. 1-click and get started today.

This is book 1 of the Hearts Below series. I was captivated by this book from the first page. It is a paranormal romance which is my favourite anyway but the author’s amazing write created a world and characters that I loved. The two main characters of Rowan and Arryn are both so well written that they jump off the page.
This is a enemies to lovers story which is full of action, adventure and steamy romance.
When Arryn’s betrothed goes missing she takes it upon herself to find him. Little does she realise that he has landed in World Below.
After she falls there herself she finds herself in a dangerous world she doesn’t understand.
Rowan is a guard who has to take over patrolling Worlds Below after his brother was injured by a monster from the World Above.
When he comes across Arryan he knows she is a monster and should destroy her on sight however there is something different about her. As they work together to try and get Arryan back to the world above Rowan realises he doesn’t want to let her go.
What will happen when Arryan realises that the Prince she came to rescue is no longer the love she wants?
Can they relationship between Arryan and Rowan actually work with them being from different worlds?
What is the additional magic that Rowan possesses and how will that effect them?
This is a fast paced paranormal adventure filled with romance, danger, and magic. You will fall in love with the characters and find yourself cheering for their victory but will they be able to face all the dangers and challenges ahead of them?

I adored this book and it sucked me into a world that felt so real with characters that captivated me and had me hanging on every word and move. I just started the ACOTAR series recently and this held the similar air of angst, feelings, and strong characters. I am not sure where Meredith has been hiding from me but I am so dang glad I found her because I could live a thousand lives following her well written words. Couldn’t give this enough stars.

The pair start out on an adventure to find him together but discover they have more in common than they first thought. This is a good book for those who like fantasy romance and enemies-to-lovers storylines. I will be reading more books in this series.

When Lady Arryn’s unofficial betrothed disappears to the Lands Below, she decides to go find and rescue her beloved despite the dangers of the other realm. Meanwhile, Rowan – a sentry in the Lands Below – struggles to protect his neighbors with his strange magic.

This is my first time reading a book written by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book, but I’m glad I did!

Lady Arryn Damoira of the Kingdom of the Summer is devasted when her brother is hurt. She knows she is supposed to fill a role of duty but finds herself working with Rowan, a sentry who knows he is no match for Arryn but wants her all the same. Danger lurks as they journey together to find the prince she is supposed to in theory be betrothed to. What happens when feelings get involved though and they cannot deny the chemistry between them?

This was quite the adventure. Had a lot of twists and turns and filled with a fantasy realm that was easy to envision. I enjoyed this quite a bit, had a good mixture of romance added in. I would pick up the next book in the series.

I was very excited for this one after reading the synopsis and seeing that amazing cover. Sadly I did not love it. I liked the idea of the story and these worlds but it was way too vague. The information was just touched on and hinted at with little confirmation. The below and above worlds are a great idea but maybe expand on them a bit more. The characters were easily likable but again unknown and different powers that don’t get explained for a long time in the story. That being said, all the characters are very likable and real. They are really the best part in my opinion.

This is an okay story in my opinion. I am sad because I love fantasy books.

Heart’s Rescue (Fallen Hearts) by Meredith Hart

Heart’s Rescue is the first book in the Fallen Hearts Series and is a wonderfully written Fantasy Romance that took me by complete surprise. It’s a Enemies to Lover’s Romance that has the right amount of drama, magic, action, adventure and so much more. It took me a minute to get into it but man once I shifted my gears everything made much more sense that I couldn’t put it down. This is Rowan and Arryn’s story. Get ready to be taken on quite the adventure with these two as they come from two completely different worlds and the miscommunication might cause some misunderstandings and a bit of a bumpy start. But man I loved their growth and characters in general. Although I kinda thought Rowan was gonna have a jerky side. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I promise it’ll be worth the time. Im already looking forward to reading more from this Author and this series.

I adored this book entirely! I tend to devour books I love much too fast for my own good lol but I just did not want this one to end! The characters were wonderful & the self discovery was superb. I truly, truly loved witnessing Arryn realize her own strength & find happiness in her own power. My heart dropped over Rowan & his very relatable angst a couple of times, but I am relieved this was a baby roller coaster instead of the Demon or something lol enough to be an exciting ride without sending me into fits of despair like certain other books I’d need a trigger warning to mention! It was great to see so many fair & just figures in power. This is such beautiful, sweet, & sexy love story. & the chapter titles are to die for!! I was excited for every new chapter name & LOVED finding them in the story. A+++ , valedictorian GPA , top of the class book, truly.

I chose this book because I thought the cover was pretty. I realized it wasn’t my type of book, but that didn’t stop me from reading it. I felt like it started off slow so I had a hard time staying focused on the story line. It has an enemies to lovers theme, there is action, danger and drama. I really thought I would like this book. Maybe I just need to give another read through and hopefully find her other books as well to read. There is a twist in this book but I really don’t want to give it away, so I won’t go into much detail about that. If you are anything like me when it comes to picking out books, try this one. Let me know what you think.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rowan and his brother, Phaedron, survive in the World’s End in the Land Below. That is, until Phaedron’s arm is cut off by a monster, which Rowan then drags to the King before setting out for revenge on all monsters for what happened to his brother. Arryn is a lady from the Land Above, determined to show everyone she is more than just an object by travelling to the Land Below to find her beloved Prince. Rowan and Arryn meet in the Land Below and, naturally, try to kill each other. But they end up getting along better than either of them would have thought. My favourite character was Rowan and my least favourite character was Folwynn. I recommend this book because it’s an enemies to lovers fantasy romance, what more could you want? The one-bed trope, threatening each other with knives, hating everyone but each other, sacrificing their lives for each other. The characters are layered and complex, the story is interesting and compelling, the love is pure and strong. ‘How wrong I was. There is nothing cold here, nothing at all like ice.’

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing romantic fantasy that Meredith Hart has created in a wonderful world of never-ending possibilities. Our two main characters are complete opposites of one another, and that is what makes their romance so much sweeter! Rowan Undervale is from the Wolds Below where they have the Kingdom Fall. He is an odd character with amazing magic like no other, as he is the only child born in the Worlds Below, where everything is covered in snow and ice, and very little grows there. They have orbs of light that shine during the day so they can see, but at night everything goes dark, there are no stars to be seen. He and his big brother Phaedron are orphans and of a lowly class, hence they live in the outer region away from the Crystal City where everything still grows in luscious greenery. Lady Arryn on the other hand is from the Wolds Above, where they have the Kingdom Summer. It is beautiful there, the night sky is filled with the stars, and everything is surrounded by sunshine and fresh air. The people there are golden from all of their time in the sunshine. Lady Arryn is of high class and is bred to marry the Prince of the Kingdom Fall once he asks for her hand in marriage. There is only one problem, her prince has disappeared into the Worlds Below, and Arryn takes it upon herself to rescue him. This is why she meets Rowan, and their adventures begin together, learning through their trials and tribulations to depend upon one another and get to know about the other’s world and how life is so different for each of them.
What an amazing read this was, the main characters have so much personality, you can feel the tension so thick, that you could cut it with a knife. The plot of the story kept me on the edge of my seat awaiting what could happen next to these characters, and would they be able to survive one another’s company? This book is the first of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone, I don’t advise stopping after this book but continue reading the series because there are so many more adventures ahead with our other characters.

I did not read the synopsis of this book to know what it about. I chose this based on the cover and assumed that would be some kind of romance involving royalty of some sort. There is royalty and there is romance, but there is also magic. Rowan is an outcast due to his dark magic. The only person he cares about has been attacked by a monster and he sets out to save him. Once his brother is safe a woman who is looking for a prince comes along, as well as a second monster. Now Rowan faces a dilemma, does he hand the woman over to the king? Or does he keep this lady safe? This book is a genre that I don’t often read, but whatever it was about the art on the cover intrigued me. The characters are well developed and keep you engaged in the story as it progresses. Plots twists are always welcome and this had plenty to keep me hooked and wanting to find out what happens next. I’m always glad when I choose a book on a whim and discover a new author. If you like a bit of romance mixed in with some humor and magic, this should definitely be in your collection.
