Write Faster, Julie Arduini

Repairing Hearts Amazon (partial) review

I’m excited to announce that not only is the second book in my Surrendering Hearts series, Repairing Hearts, available, but reviews are coming in and they are so encouraging.

Repairing Hearts took a bit to write, thanks to random issues like my glasses were not right and my computer screen broke. When I tried to buy a refurbished laptop, it took three tries before we landed on one that worked.

Still, that doesn’t damper my excitement regarding Repairing Hearts.

Repairing Hearts continues the Hart sextuplets and their journey to discover their own identity and find a love like their parents shared. Jordyn kicked off the series with her need to surrender control. Now it’s Ryan’s turn. He’s got a bit of a temper, and prides himself on being a loner.

The problem with isolating himself from his big family is he needs them. He bought a house that’s an overwhelming money pit, and he can’t afford renovations. Brother Evan pitches a reality show idea, and suddenly Ryan and his brooding ways are trending on social media.

The reality show, Repairing Ryan’s Heart, was supposed to focus on viewers choosing a project manager to oversee the renovations. The actual show is more of a dating contest, and Ryan wants nothing to do with the drama.

I loved, loved, loved writing a reality show. It’s as cutthroat as you can imagine, and I learned in my research reality shows aren’t very real at all. Through that, Ryan learns a lot about himself, his faith, and his family.

No small-town romance is any good without a heroine, right? Repairing Hearts features a few ladies who are show contestants. My favorites are mean girl Raini Bly, and of course, the woman with a secret that will change the course of the series, BJ Wallace. That fiery redhead has Ryan’s full attention, but will her betrayal ruin the show, the Hart family, and Ryan’s heart?

You’ll have to read to find out!

Each book is a stand-alone, but I believe starting with Anchored Hearts gives you a comprehensive look into the Hart sextuplets. Now that Ryan’s story is done, after the holidays I start Building Hearts, and that’s Evan’s story. To continue to celebrate the Hart sextuplets 25th birthday, a second reality show features the siblings as they follow the project manager and work on renovations. Evan leads the adventure and of course, it’s not going to go according to plan…

The series is a small-town romance with Christian surrender themes. Both Anchored Hearts and Repairing Hearts are free for Kindle Unlimited. I hope you take a look, and if you enjoy, thank you in advance for leaving a review.
