This book is book two of the series. It can be read as a standalone but honestly book one was just as good so you should definitely read both.
While Austin tries to heal his heart in Chicago, he meets Casey. She is quite literally everything he’s not, but maybe that’s what makes her perfect. A promotion lands in Austin’s lap but now he has to figure out what to do – dream job or dream girl? What’s a man to do?
I really enjoyed this book. I like sports romances and this one hit it out of the park. Definitely recommend!

I Love you Today is the second book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy, and again – I. Loved. It! Julie Navickas has written this book as beautifully as the first. Austin is trying to move on without Mavis and works to fulfill his dream to be partner in the law firm, he’s been working for. Casey has lost her roommate and best friend, now that Mavis is engaged to Josh. Austin and Casey begin a friendship, that is witty and flirty. When the opportunity for Austin to get the law firm established in Chicago, Casey has a room for him to stay. Will their budding friendship blossom into more? They have plenty of ups and downs and I was right there with them! This book kept me guessing until the end, and I can’t wait for the next in the trilogy!

Austin fell in love with Mavis after having feelings for Casey, who he couldn’t be with due to his twin brother Josh. Josh and Casey were high school sweethearts before Casey left mysteriously after high school due to a secret she had. Casey knew if she confessed her secret that Josh wouldn’t go to college and she wanted him to go without feeling guilty. Austin runs into Casey years later and is able to bring everyone back together again, knowing that he has a secret as well. Mavis is Casey’s roommate and gets tangled up the the homecoming of everyone. I would highly recommend this book and the trilogy. It kept my attention through the whole book.

This is a perfect sequel, but great as a stand-alone as well. I enjoyed becoming reacquainted with characters I had previously met. It was nice to meet new friends as well. The female protagonist, much like myself, is a notorious klutz who will trip over anything or nothing. I enjoyed reading about characters who are unable to take the traditional expected life route right after high school. Some people actually have to struggle and strive to achieve their goals. It was nice to see the nontraditional student being cheered on by those around her. I’m eagerly awaiting the third installment of this trilogy!

I was extremely excited to read the second installment in this series. I liked it a lot. I’m glad that Austin found his love. Casey is adorable. Literally a normal girl and that was exactly what he needed. They fit well together and I’m glad everything worked out for them. I really dislike Mavis. I was extremely excited for her and Josh to reunite last book but I kinda feel as though they settled. I know Josh loves her but she had a hard time choosing between him and his brother. Even up until the rehearsal dinner she still had to have time with Austin. I know it was for closure but I think it was extremely selfish of her. My heart broke for Lauren. I really hope everything works out for her in the last book. Maybe Her and Mitch will rekindle their love? Finger crossed. Side note, Susan Is something else. I kind of want more background on her and John. Seems like there may be some hidden secrets. ( Prequel??) overall the book was pretty good.

This was a quick read and enjoyable. I enjoyed the dynamic of the characters together and their connection. I really liked Austin’s character and could feel his pain. There are lots of relatable elements in this book like heartache, love and connection. I would read more by this author for sure!

I love you today. I love this story and this series. The blurb says it can be read as a standalone but I don’t think so. If you don’t read book one you will not understand Austin’s heartbreak. I can tell you his heart is broken but you feel it starting in book one. In this book, book 2, we get to see Austin’s heart break heal as he leans on Casey and learns about the difference in his past, his present and his possible future. Casey is introduced in book one as well. She’s Mavis’ best friend. Casey thinks Mavis choose the wrong brother. But at the same time Casey is glad she’s the one that gets to play ball with Austin. Casey is our main girl in this story. Her character in life is a back seat kind of person. Yes, she is living her life, working, trying to go to school, trying to be happy, trying to be better than her upbringing. Casey lives life but not in a crazy obnoxious way. She’s just wild enough to catch Austin’s eye and even his heart!
I really liked this story. The characters are down to earth and real. The writing keeps me engaged and turning those pages.
Book 3 teaser: Austin and Josh’s sister Lauren gets her turn and her story looks like it may be the story with the most needed tissues. Looking forward to reading it.

This was such a fantastic book! I loved Austin and Casey, they have amazing chemistry! When Austin and Casey meet Austin is still hung up on Mavis, who did him a favor and chose his twin brother Josh over him. Austin instantly feels something for Casey but can’t quite move on from his feelings for Mavis. When he has an opportunity to move from sunny LA to the Windy City he jumps at the chance, and this is when his feelings for Casey truly grow and develop.
I loved how their relationship grew and they worked through their problems. As someone who often doubts herself and lacks confidence Casey is very relatable to me. I love how Austin believed in and supported her and her dreams, and was always pushing her to believe in herself and chase after what she wants! I think we all need someone like that in our corner.

I Love You Today (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 2)
Casey is by far my favorite. How could I not fall in love with a fellow Cubs fan? She is adorable and quirky and the best thing that could have happened to Austin. She comes from a totally different world than Austin but they just fit.
Austin needed Casey in his life when he met her. She was the balm to his soul after everything with Mavis. He was able to relax and have fun with her.
There are so many little things I loved about Austin and Casey. The game at Wrigley, him helping her study for her class, the cheesy sandwich are just a few that come to mind.
I love this book and series and I’m looking forward to reading Lauren’s story.

I couldn’t wait to read this book after enjoying the first so much and if possible this book is even better. I loved Austin’s story. I really thought that you could feel his emotion and the heartache he had been through. He is the kind of character that I wanted to findbhis happy ending because he deserved it so much. This author is really creating a strong series. I look forward to reading her books and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

I have been looking forward to the second book in this trilogy, and Julie Navickas surpassed all my expectations.
I fell in love with Austin in the first book, and my heart broke for him. I thought he deserved his own HEA. Thankfully, he does find happiness, but the road is fraught with many bumps, and he will have to make some hard decisions along the way.
Austin is still nursing a broken heart over Mavis, so when a job opportunity opens up in Chicago, he jumps at the chance to put some space between himself, Mavis, and Josh. When Mavis’s bestie, Casey, allows Austin to be her roommate, sparks fly between the two of them. The chemistry is sizzling, but one thing is an obstacle to a more serious relationship…Mavis. Austin has to really reflect and ask himself if he can ever get over her. And, Casey, has to determine whether she can trust Austin’s feelings for her. When another twist occurs, it will almost push them both to their breaking points. I thought Navickas dug really deeply into their emotional turmoil, and she did a great job at it. Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster with this one.
As with the first book, the characters were complicated, and with each chapter, another layer is peeled away to reveal even more about them. One thing I really liked was seeing characters from the first book show up, yet they took nothing away from Austin and Casey’s narratives. If that wasn’t done brilliantly enough, Navickas also gave her readers a deeper look into Lauren and Mitch’s relationship. Lauren is Josh and Austin’s sister, and Mitch is Mavis’s brother. This is a foreshadowing of her third book which will feature Lauen and Josh, and again, it takes nothing away from the main characters. I can’t wait to get my hands on that book! It is sure to be another emotional rollercoaster!

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?

This is book 2 in this series and picks up after the debut, and I highly recommend reading book 1 to get the story that leads up to this book….as we are seeing the aftermath of a rekindled love between Josh and Mavis but leaves Josh’s brother, Austin, hurt.
How do you pick up the broken pieces after your heart is shattered….knowing you did love someone once upon a time? That is what happens to Austin Templeton. Josh and Mavis get their happily ever after, but where does that leave Austin. When Mavis moves out of her apartment in Chicago to be with Josh, this also leaves Mavis’ roommate and best friend, Casey as well. Austin and Casey get to know each other on another level….and initially strike up a friendship. When the friendship leads to more…..can Austin feel like he is truly over Mavis..as Casey is falling more for Austin?
This story is so good!!! I love Austin and I absolutely adored Casey so much, she is definitely my favorite. This book brought out some past secrets, love and forgiveness. I loved this book so much and cannot wait until book 3!!

I absolutely loved the first book in the series. So when I found the second book I knew right away I needed to read it. This one was as heart felt with every single emotion possible as well. The book has sweetness, heartache, love and so much more that you feel like you’re on an emotional roller coaster. The characters are realistic and make it so easy to feel their emotions. The plot ebbed and flowed perfectly and other story as a whole left me wanting more.

I Loved You Today is the second book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas. OMG- after reading the first book in this trilogy I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this instalment and find out what happens with Austin after he had his heart ripped out when Mavis chooses his twin brother over him. I definitely wasn’t ready for the emotional toll that this book took on my heart!! Duh- you’d think after the first book, I would have guessed that this would kinda wreak me lol… So yeah, Ms. Navickas battered my heart with her story- and I loved every minute of it. The way this book ends has me anxious for Book #3…. and I am pretty sure she has plans to shatter me once again….and yep, I really can’t wait! Happy Reading!

“I loved you yesterday, Princess. But today..” my gosh this book! I loved the first book but THIS book?! EVEN BETTER! Love the writing so much! Huge page turner for me and I finished this in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. I wasn’t sure what to think of Austin in the first book but I absolutely ADORE him in this book. Him and Casey are simply perfect!!! He thought he knew what love was..he really did. But he didn’t figure out the true meaning until he fell for Casey girl 😍 the way he is towards her, the way he lifts her up, the way he sincerely BELIEVES in her…is so heartwarming. But the way Casey BELIEVES in Austin is just as amazing. I love Casey! She’s my favorite in the books, as well as Lauren! But Austin and Casey have some important choices to make. Austin thinks he knows what’s best…will he screw everything up because of that? As much as I loved this book I was so mad about 83% into it 😭 to the point where I want to throw my Kindle across the room!!! Like what is happening right now? Julie, I may need therapy after that twist of events 🤣 BUT I live for the drama apparently Lol. If you love a book with laughter, sadness, spice, LOVE, drama…read this! So so good and you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for the last book!

I absolutely loved the first book in the series. This one was as heart felt with every single emotion possible as well. The book has sweetness, heartache, love and the whole 9 yards. It was an amazing read!
I loved how this one took off where the previous book did. The ending of the first book brought a lot of feelings for me, so this one continues, really helped those feelings, and allowed new feelings to come to light. I was rooting all the way through for Austin and Casey. For me Austin was held dear to my heart (if you read the first book you get what I mean) Their story was sweet, yet facing dilemmas and that was very realistic to me. I loved Casey, (to be a bit selfish, I grew up in Chicago and greatly love my Wrigley field and the Cubs!) She was perfect for Austin, and she truly had the power to heal the past, Their story was beautiful yet stormy weather can come without notice. You make it through the storm together always. I was hooked. The story lines that came to light, loose ends that got tied, and common happiness and ground that was found. I very much am looking forward to the next book in the series. It was an emotional ride, in a good way! It was very much impossible not to love the characters, the story, and the author’s writing!
If you have not read the previous book, do it. It gives great back story of characters and emotions. This book really took my breath away. I simply loved it from start to finish! Amazing read and series!

OH boy, my heart aches. I want to wrap Austin up and take him away. Austin is thrust back into life and the job he loves whilst his heart is still in pieces two thousand miles away. This time he must decide what’s more important the dream he has so longed for or the one thing that no completes him.
Casey has flitted from one party to another, one man to another, one job to another but when her heart is on the line, she wants to do better and even if that means she has to leave the choice to another.
I Love You Today is the exciting sequel in this delightful contemporary romance The Trading Hearts Trilogy. It I just as raw and emotional as the first book and I am glad that I didn’t have to wait too long between books.
This sweet steamy, passionate tale is wonderfully written. The characters are masterfully written and make your heart flutter. Just like the first book this tale is complex yet beautifully woven together to give the reader a heart melting story that will stay with them.
I am trying to be patient and wait for the conclusion of this Trilogy if it is like the first two it will be explosive.

I don’t know where to begin. I felt actual pain in my heart at the end of Chapter 24. I was aghast. I almost couldn’t continue. But I had to get to the end to know how it was fixed. Amazing. Can’t wait for the 3rd book.
Austin is still heartbroken that Mavis chose his twin over him. There is a small glimmer of hope with Casey but how can he pursue her from 2000 miles away. Austin gets the chance of his life. His law firm partners ask him to oversee the opening of the new Chicago office. This gives him a chance to not only escape the drama at home but move on, possibly with Casey. Austin jumps at the chance.
Casey is floundering without Mavis. Mavis was her champion, her strength, her best friend, her sister. With Mavis moved back to California to be with the love of her life, what now? It is crazy to think Austin would be interested. He surprises her by telling her that he is moving to Chicago and agrees to live with her. Maybe they can see if there is a possibility. As Casey and Austin grow closer, Mavis’ wedding looms in the future. So many things come to a head when Austin and Casey return to California for the wedding. Will this mean the end of Casey and Austin?
Destroyed. Still not over it. Not sure I ever will be. How could that be said? And with the step up for Book 3?? OMG!!! I don’t know if my heart can take the wait. Read this book. Read this series. But be prepared for the book hangover. I am warning you in advance. It will be a while before you can heal and move on from this emotional game of love.

Wow what an amazing heartfelt read. I truly was captivated by the storyline and the characters right from the very start and it held me that way right until the very last word. Austin and Casey (especially Austin) immediately found a place in my heart and will stay there for a very long time. They are completely relatable characters and you feel every emotion they do. I loved their cute text message banter at the start. I know it’s a small thing to remember and point out about a book but it really had me hoping they would find their way to each other right from the start. This is the second book I have read by this very talented author and I can honestly say she has a fan for life in me! I can’t wait for book 3 of this amazing trilogy!!

This book is incredibly touching and will have you rooting for Austin, Casey, and even Lauren (Josh & Austin’s sister). The author touches on Lauren’s story here in book 2 but this is mostly to introduce her. You’ll learn more about Lauren in book 3. Austin and Casey are the pair that you love to see together. They have chemistry and they have both deserve happiness. The author has put together a story that will have you drawn in from the beginning. You will want to read ‘I Love You Yesterday’ first. The book picks up right after the first one ended. There is tension and drama as feelings are dealt with. New romance is on the horizon but can it last among new jobs and friends speaking about “concerns”, etc.? The author deals with every issue that comes up with these type of relationships whether rich or poor. The characters are well-developed and show there true-colors. I have to say Mavis is not my favorite. Lauren is more of a BFF to Casey. This is an entertaining read that will have you feeling all the ‘feels’ as you read it. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Wonderfully done! I can’t wait to read Lauren’s story.

Having read and enjoyed the first book in this trilogy, I was looking forward to this sequel, and I was not disappointed. I was intrigued to know what was next for Austin, his twin brother Josh and Mavis. Having lost the girl he loved to Josh, Austen decides to relocate to Chicago, in order to get over Mavis, especially once Josh and Mavis are engaged. When he meets the easy going, impulsive and sometimes reckless Cubs fan, Casey, the fact she’s everything that Austen isn’t, is exactly what he needs. Austen wasn’t planning on actually falling in love with Casey, but when he’s offered his dream promotion and he has to choose between moving to Los Angeles or staying in Wrigley Field with her, he realises their relationship isn’t just a bit of fun anymore. Austen has to choose between either his career or the girl who helped put his heart back together. This was a heartwarming romance, which had me hooked throughout. Having read that Mavis and Josh had their HEA, it was nice to find out what was in Austen’s future. I loved Casey and thought she was perfect for Austen, and their chemistry really came across in the narrative. I was cheering them on hoping they would both get their HEA. Although it can be read as a standalone story, I would personally recommend reading the books in order. This was a real page turner, and I look forward to the final instalment in this enjoyable and engaging trilogy.

This book is the second in the series and did not disappoint me at all. I fell in love with Austin in the first book and this book brought me more into the character that he is. There is nothing like living the dream you always wanted to have something go wrong and then trying to figure out what happens next. I feel that the characters in this book made that journey from what was supposed to be too what is to be, full of adventure, steam, and personal growth. Can love really make someone forget about what they feel is in their blood to do? This the main topic of this book. Don’t get me wrong there are tons of emotions and growth in this book that kept me turning the pages as quickly as I could. I fell in love with this story because everyone wants to believe in a love so strong that the other person would want to give up on everything just to make them happy. However, we all know that isn’t really how things go and this book covers that completely. I laugh, cried, swooned over this story and I highly recommend it anyone who just needs to escape for the day and be wrapped up in an amazing love story. This book can be read as a stand along but I feel for you to fully get the depth of the characters you will want to read the first book in the series before this one.

Because when you least expect it… and when you’re least ready for it… love happens.
Casey McDaniels lacked direction, spending the better part of her youth boyfriend hopping, partying, and bartending – her dreams, career ambitions, and education put on the backburner in favor of a social life and steady paycheck… that is, until a new lawyer moves into town.
When sexy, smart, and brokenhearted Austin Templeton relocates from Los Angeles to Chicago, Casey can’t help but put her former lifestyle aside in favor of the sweet romance that erupts between them. Finding more than just her heart set ablaze, Austin’s own professional ambition ignites a fire beneath her – pushing her forward into uncharted territory.
But one thing’s for sure… his career will always come first. When an unexpected promotion threatens to take him back to California, Casey reels, forced to choose between the man who captured her heart and the newfound path to success he led her down.
With her heart torn down the middle, Casey leaves the choice in Austin’s hands. After all, what’s more important? A job… or love?

This was a great 5 star read. It was a quick read that pulled me right in. Kendall is a reporter and when she gets an opportunity to do a different story she jumps on it. She ends up meeting Chad at an underground MMA event. Kendall wants to interview Chad but he refuses. You can definitely pick up on the sparks flying between them. Can Kendall convince him to help with her story? Will they get a HEA?
Overall I really enjoyed this couple. My emotions were all over the place. The author does a great job with her writing. If you’re looking for a good quick read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Fighting Chance By: Toni Denise 5* I love this story! I truly wanted to keep reading long after the book was over! Kendall is a reporter and her whole career is going down the tubes. Her father offers her the opportunity of a different type of story than she is used to. This story is definitely going to have her stretch her reporting skills. Her father has a lead on an underground MMA ring that isn’t illegal but also isn’t well known. What Kendall finds there is a man that is going to challenge her beliefs. Chad can tell that the sparks are flying with Kendall but its going to take a lot of effort to convince her that they are both feeling things that are real and worth more than one night. I truly feel that this is a great romance read. It was hard to put down and I definitely recommend it!

Wow I was completely captivated by this sports romance story. The characters were so likeable and I loved that even though there was uncertainty and secrets they weren’t anything to destroy the relationship. More like things and misunderstanding that were easy to work out. The connection and attraction between our couple was instant and amazing to see and feel.
Kendall is the sports reporter for a local newspaper. She doesn’t know how she got the job but she doesn’t want to lose it. When her job becomes at risk unless she finds a story her dad and ex boxer helps her out. He introduces her to Chad the new local up and coming fighter. After seeing him in action she is impressed and can see his talent but there is more to him that meets the eye.
Chad is holding secrets which he doesn’t want revealed and so when he is approached by Kendall to do an interview he declines. It’s then we start to really see the feelings and emotion between the pair and as the secrets unravel and misunderstandings are made can they keep going and give their relationship a fighting chance?
