Key to His Heart was an absolutely engaging story. From the quaint town of Golden Crest as the setting, to the characters we get to meet in this town, I was fully in love with this story. Pregnant and divorce, Katrina is drawn to the small town and start life over. She doesn’t know a soul, but her own soul tells her she must be in this town.
TJ has returned home after his retirement from the NFL. He loves his close knit family and his job as Coach and teacher at the local high school. The only thing missing his the desire to fall in love and create a family.
TJ and Katrina meet in an unexpected way and moments keeps springing up for these two. Katrina has envisioned so many of these moments and knows she is here for a reason. These two realize that they are intertwined in more than just a physical attraction and realize that true love and soulmates may be real.
This story isn’t only about finding your soulmate. It is finding your family and who you are meant to become. I love how the storyline flowed and I was pulled into the hopes, dreams and desires of all the characters. Lovely story!

I’m in love with this book! Key to his Heart is the love that everyone wants. It’s instant, it’s easy but definitely will always take patience and work to keep it going. The author wrote two beautiful main characters, one coming from a loving family. The other having been mentally broken, been there done that l could write the book.
I feel like Katrina is my kindred spirit. I relate to her in so many ways. Especially with the premonition type dreams. I’m one of those people who has those types of things. I’m just not fully in tune to the ability to use it correctly. Seeing it in a book I’m reading feels like a breath of fresh air. it’s definitely not easy explaining it to others, it’s also something people think you’re joking about. Does that happen in this book? Does TJ find out about it and struggle with the knowledge?
She gave her child my name, not that she knows it. TJ’s thoughts when he hears Katrina call her son Toby for the first time. He’s never met anyone like her. He’s also starting to believe that there are signs everywhere pushing the two of them together.
Is this all too good to be true?
Does the other shoe drop, and this book becomes a disaster?
These are some of the questions one asks themselves when reading this book. You will just have to read to find out the andsoop
It’s a sweet romance, filled with every emotion being front and center. Deep seeded pain can bring these two together, but it could also destroy what is being built between them. That happen chance encounter turned out to be so much more!

Katrina (Kat) Klenkos moved to a small town in Pennsylvania to raise her baby after her husband asked for a divorce. She can’t even understand how he could sign off his rights to his own son. But fate and visions have brought Kat to this town. In a twist of fate, Kat meets the guy that she’s been dreaming about and recognizes his voice. What happens next is truly amazing but it’s, not quite the right time for them to connect.

TJ, a chemistry teacher and high school football coach is heading over to help his aunt’s tenant paint her baby’s room and put together some furniture. What TJ doesn’t know is he’s about to meet Kat who will change his life for the better!

I don’t want to spoil the book because it’s amazing. There’s love, family, romance, and some supernatural things that explains the instant connection Kat and TJ feel. This book surprised me and kept me wondering. At one point I thought I knew what would happen and let me tell you, it’s so much better than my review. This author is new to me and I can’t wait to read more of her books.

A dual POV emotional romance. This author does a great job of pulling you in, I was hanging off every word. The main characters TJ and Katrina are super relatable and likable, making you invested in their story. Drama, angst, romance and steamy- the perfect combination

Key to His Heart is a great romance story about two people who have had pain in the past and they fall in love. Katrina has had her heart broken. She meets TJ and there is an instant connection between them. Towards the middle of the book, TJ and Katrina realize that they are soulmates. They were destined to be together. This story has a great happily ever after ending with TJ and Katrina having a family. I love that TJ proposed to Katrina with a key necklace instead of a ring. That was a very unique way to show how much he loved her. I also like that the author used her own struggles with epilepsy in the story with Katrina. Not many people talk about the mental health issues that people have. I didn’t realize that there were four different types of epilepsy either. I recommend anyone that loves romance books and is a hopeless romantic to read this story.

If you want a heartwarming romance that really tugs on the heartstrings then this is the book for you. It’s the 2nd book that I’ve read from this author and this one will also be getting 5 stars as I was totally lost in the story. It is the quintessential page-turner. The story is also based on some real life events. I’d really love to know exactly which parts of the story really happened.
Do you believe that your soul mate is out there? Is there someone that you are destined to be with? Have you had visions of this person and heard their voice? That’s what happened to Katrina. And what happens when fate steps in and you meet this person and it’s instant attraction on both sides? You really need to read this book to get the answers to these questions.
I adored Kat and TY’s story. I fell in love with both characters instantly and was swept along with their amazing story.
100% recommend!

As a single mom, I became enamored in this book and the direction it went. I fell instantly in love with both characters. The way their inner thoughts were explored to their interactions and once they finally collided easily where we, as the reader, thought they should be all along, really made it worth the read! Check it out — you’re gonna love this as much as I did.

I love a romance between two characters that is entwined from the very start. This book had me smiling at how perfect Katrina and TJ for each other!! All of the characters the author created have great depth and connection. Overall the main characters have family/friends who are so realistic they could walk off the page and engage in the real world with no one the wiser.

This book was so fun. It was warm and happy and at times nerve wracking. The author expertly ties all the details together with a writing style that is bar none. I also like that Daisy makes an appearance from her other series – so now I can go read more and already have a bit of an idea of this world Kristina has so expertly created. So excited to read more from this author!

This was one of the best books I have read in a very long time. However, I gave it 4 out of 5 stars due to the overwhelming amount of detail. It was too much for me to keep up with – however, I acknowledge that many people enjoy the extra detail!

We consistently hear about how babies change our lives, but what happens when fate is also intertwined?! Kat and TJ unexpectedly meet under the craziest circumstances. Next thing you know, they are going through life head first navigating a new baby, a new relationship, injuries, and their pasts. Find out how they navigate such a crazy life by following their love story!

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.

Holy Cow that is not what I expected at all. This is a Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I truly felt like I connected with the characters especially TJ. He loves big and I mean big he pretty much stole my heart from the beginning. This is a story about TJ and Kat and the journey they go on for love. Kat has had a lot of changes in a short time and is a single momto toby.Tj is an ex-football player. There may be some parts of the story that may be a trigger for some but if you can push through the story is worth it. The chemistry between these two is incredible and the love TJ has for Toby will melt your heart. Can Kat be the one who unlocks his heart? Can these three have a family like relationship? I don’t want to give to much away . This book is more than worth the read. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

I am a sucker for romance, and this book delivered. The author tells Katrina and TJ’s story in such a way that you feel it down to your soul. This idea that there is some sort of mystical connection, that fate could play such a crucial role in bringing two souls together is what all romantics swoon over. Experiencing this book was a heart wrenching journey that I would gladly experience again. The romance was slow, and there was much that needed to be overcome along the way, leaving it a story you just didn’t want to put down. This is my first book by this author and I am looking forward to more.

I absolutely loved this story! From the very beginning to was captivated by Katrina and TJ’s story. There were ups and downs, emotional moments and heart-warming times and the author captured all of these perfectly. Her beautiful writing together with a wonderful storyline made this book and absolute pleasure to read. I really loved both Katrina and TJ but I have to say I think TJ totally stole my heart – he was just the sweetest character – I loved him from the moment that I met him in the story.
This really was a beautiful story to read and I would absolutely recommend it to other readers.

This book sucked you in from the very beginning. The author led you down the path, destroyed the path, but slowly rebuilt it as you continued to walk. It is a beautiful story. The twists are never what you expect and there is a little steam thrown in for fun!

My heart ached for Katrina. To spend years of your life believing one thing when it wasn’t true and could have been treated earlier must have been utter torture for her. The second photo given to TJ allowed my heart to soar for them.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author but it won’t be the last. I could NOT put this book down!

I don’t even know what to say about Kat and TJ. No words I have will even come close to explaining how good this book is. I was skeptical at first but kept an open mind and I’m glad I did. What an emotional rollercoaster!

This book is so well written. The characters connection is so bone deep and woven into the story very well. I seriously am speechless. I highly recommend Kat and TJ’s story!

Oh my goodness! I read this , finished it , drowned myself in comfort food and Kleenex and then read it again !

I see a little of myself in TJ as in when I love I love hard and I love with everything and I’ll will do anything for those I love and sometimes that bites me in the rear but for most part people appreciate it anyhoo I was fortunate to find my soulmate and have been blessed and happily married for 20 years 😍

I don’t think Katrina would know what real love is even it came up to her and slapped her in the face , that is till TJ comes along and shows her what life and love can be like ….

There’s a “magicalness” to Katrina that draws me in and while I understand her fears and insecurities I just wanted to shake her and tell her to wake up to what is right in front of her ….

TJ teaches and coaches so that already says a lot of them man he is and his yearns for the family , home and white picket fence and it would seem that that’s in the pipeline with Katrina …. He’s a good , kind , patient and loving man with a really big heart and any woman would thank her lucky stars to have a man like him on her side ….

I really cried hard reading this . I saw and felt love , grace , hope , heartache, redemption and so much more . I felt complete when I finished it a second time round

An absolute privilege to have been able to read this ❣️📕

Key To His Heart: Single Parent Romance

This book had me all of the place.  I couldn’t figure out what was happening between Kat and TJ but I was liking it.

Kat had a lot of changes happen over a very short period of time and I think she handled it amazingly well.   Until she didn’t and couldn’t figure out what was happening.

TJ went to do his Aunt a favor and his world changed in the best possible. I may have started crushing on him as the story went on.  Nothing hotter than a guy who will step up and help raise a child that isn’t his biologically.

I was lucky enough to find my own TJ when my daughter was little and sometimes don’t appreciate enough all he went through to adjust to no only be a spouse but also a Daddy.

This book was worth every single second I spent reading it.  I really liked all of the major characters and most of the secondary.   I will be looking to get caught up on the other books by this author.

4.5 Stars

 

Key to His Heart by Kristina Beck packs an emotional wallop that really tugged on my heartstrings. It is a small-town contemporary romance, which is inspired by true events. The story touches on subjects that may be considered sensitive to some readers- but was done honestly and realistically. It is told from a duel POV which balances the story while giving the reader a great perspective of events. Ms. Beck has woven her story with so much heart and soul. She has crafted some very realistic characters, who have been well developed with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. It was easy to feel for them and what they were going through. Investing in them and their story wasn’t hard- I was all-in.
Ms. Beck proves once again to be a great storyteller, constructing a plot full of complexities, connection, struggles, secrets, confusion, angst, discovery, drama, fate, chemistry, tenderness, understanding, sizzle, and romance.
A sweet story!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kristina Beck!

Key to His Heart is an emotional read. It is told from a dual point of view through the eyes of TJ and Katrina. The story is sweet and touching. I enjoyed getting the story from both of the main characters. It was great to see how the same story is seen through the eyes of the different characters. Love stories often deal with the situation’s timing, which this one also did. I enjoyed that the story was not outlandish or off the rails with unrealistic scenarios. I haven’t read much from this author, but I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a great read to grab if you need some realism and a HEA.

This book was truly phenomenal. What an emotional rollercoaster this was! Katrina, Tj, and Toby were characters you couldn’t help but fall in love with and they made the story so exceptional. To say I felt every emotion is an understatement, I bawled, felt their joy, and every possible feeling in between! As a single mom who found someone to share their life and the heavy load with, I can honestly say this captured that soooo well! Kristina Beck did an incredible job writing a story that felt so much like I’m sure so many’s real lives. An exceptional read that brings a realistic quality to the fiction romance novels!

Oh, my goodness this story is so good. If you like to read about insta-love and soul mates with a little mystery added in, then this is definitely the book for you!

Main character, Katrina, discovers many things about herself throughout this story. One thing she discovers is how strong she is with the birth of her son, Toby. Main character, TJ, also learns a few things about himself. He learns to trust the process.

Katrina and TJ meet under strenuous circumstances and feel a connection immediately. But since both have had their hearts broken, they are leery about taking a chance on romance, even though the attraction and pull to each other is so strong.

Katrina has a few secrets that she isn’t so sure TJ can handle. And she can’t handle TJ leaving her. But her secrets are slowing killing her and those she loves. TJ knows something is going on with Katrina, but he doesn’t know how to help her, especially since she isn’t sharing her problems with him.

This story teaches the main characters and the reader to trust the process, seek help, and know that everyone is suffering from something. We are ok. You are ok.

This was such a great read! I was completely captivated, finding myself waking up earlier in the morning than my alarm to read it before going to work! This book encompasses two individuals, Katrina and TJ. Katrina has relocated to a different town after going through a nasty divorce and being 8 months pregnant. TJ is a retired famous football player who helps his parents out in the family store. When these two collide, sparks fly, and they cannot stand to be apart from one another! There are some crazy instances that are the driving forces that are pulling them together and the way that was written was one of a kind and just so brilliant. The way the author wrote this book, the ideas, wording and details was phenomenal! I cannot wait to read more of her books!!
