I really enjoyed this love story between Josh and Mavis. Love is really complicated sometimes and feelings get messy. Trying to sort out the feelings from the past for her navigate the present was very challenging for her. Knowing what to let go of and what to hold onto. I also liked Josh and thought his character was well done. I look forward to the next installment!

This is book 1 in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy. It is such a beautiful romance that captivates the reader from the beginning. This story is full of so much heartbreak and upset but also feelings of great love and forgiveness. This is a story about a couple who were deeply in love and how their past mistakes and decisions lead then to where they are today.
This is Josh and Mavis story. They were in love as teenagers but a serious of events and decisions tore them apart. Mavis took the decision to leave to save Josh from the hurt of a secret she carries but was that the right decision?
Can true love last the span of time to be rekindled? Will the secrets that were buried in the past come back to haunt them? Or will it be too little too late? Can forgiveness ever be giving without knowing the horrible truth of what you are forgiving someone for? Will this me Josh and Mavis’s second chance at a happily every after?
This book is full of anger and pain, secrets and upset but underneath it all is the constant feeling of deep love between the characters that time has not diminished.
Decisions decision!! Our FMC had a great high school boyfriend and then went and fell in love with his twin. She finds out she’s pregnant and decides to leave town to save her bf the humiliation. Years later the three are entangled with each other again and she has to make a choice! Great first book!
I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and damnit it, I’ll love you tomorrow too 🥹🥹 Joshua is perfect in every way! The love he has for Mavs is out of this world. He’s been in love with her for YEARS. She left him for a decade (one major secret) and even after all this time, she was still in his heart. If you want a book that brings out all the feelings, this is the one for you. Mavs has been through a lot. She sacrificed a lot. She has a HUGE secret, and that secret being the reason she left. And the one person she leaned on through it all, was the one person she probably shouldn’t have. She has a choice to make. Does she choose the guy she is deeply in love with since the beginning or does she choose the guy who helped her pick up the pieces? Read to find out! You won’t be disappointed! This book is definitely a page turner and you won’t want to stop reading!
This book certainly has a lot of drama and misunderstandings. I certainly don’t agree with all of the choices made by, well, any of the characters. Then again, who ever truly agrees with all of the life choices of the people around them, in the real world, anyway? I am hoping the Epilogue means that there will be a second book, perhaps with fewer complications.
Mavis walked away from her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, without a word or explanation, when she found out she was pregnant, to protect him and his dreams of becoming a doctor. Many years later, unexpectedly, she finds out that her ex, Josh, is now looking to find her because he realizes he has always loved her, even without contact or knowing where she has been all these years. Josh has just gotten divorced, and wants to find the one woman he’s ever actually loved. When he discovers that his twin brother, Austin, knows where to find her and has for years, he is finally able to reconnect and learn what really happened when Mavis just disappeared without a word. Can love really forgive all past acts? Mavis and Josh are about to find out, one way or another.

The path to true love never runs smooth, isn’t that what they say? For the wonderful characters in this book, Mavis and Joshua, that is so very true! I was completely hooked on both the characters and storyline from the minute I started reading and they kept me turning page after page. Filled with drama, secrets and a steamy love triangle this is an emotional read full of heart and I personally can’t wait for more from this very talented author and in particular this trilogy.

Oh my, this is a beautiful love story! Josh & Mavis fell in love as teens. A bad decision brought about a chain reaction that affected their lives. This story is written so well that you feel all the emotions as you read. You feel the pain, anger, love, and joy. The characters are very relatable. We have all made mistakes in relationships. To read about Josh & Mavis’s relationship challenges shows a bit of a redemption that helps show love can be great even in second chances. They show love is worth the fight. Tess, however, is a character that I just wasn’t fond of. What a great job writing an antagonist that annoys so well. It’s a terrific debut novel. I hope we’ll see more from this author.
The intrigue of this book kept me reading straight through, I didn’t want to put it down until I found out how it ended! The author masterfully weaves emotions and situational complexity with the characters. Mavis is a woman who fell in love as a teen and suddenly disappeared without a trace. The book takes us on a journey, and ultimately, she must choose between brothers. I would be lying if I said it was easy to choose who to root for! I loved the writing style and story told from character points of view, and it all blended together seamlessly. Would definitely recommend.
Joshua Templeton married the wrong woman. Tess Browning was never meant to be his wife. He never should have said I do – but… she also never should have slept with the neighbor.
When divorce shatters the illusion of perfection, Josh reels from the mistakes he’s made, retreating into the past to determine where it all went wrong. But when an old letter from long-lost, high school sweetheart Mavis Benson reappears, the real search for answers begins.
Ten years before, Mavis vanished from his life. The desire to finally learn the truth ignites a fire in Josh, and her memory catapults him on a journey to uncover the mystery behind why she left. But one thing is certain – the last place he ever expected to find her… was in his brother’s bed.

In this heart-wrenching novel, Mavis and Joshua have been soul mates since they were children, but as Mavis runs from her problems to protect Joshua, she isolates herself from everything and more importantly EVERYONE that she has ever known. Mavis builds her own life away from it all, but a blast from the past comes through and sets her life on a new path.
