Arrested Heart by H. L. Nida
Learning to trust a man again, yeah sure, that sounds easy. It’s hard when you’re a struggling single mom with a beautiful daughter that you feel you have to protect. My past is full of hurts and an ex-fiancé who was unpredictable and abusive. At times, I’m surprised I’m still alive. As much as I’d love to have a man in my life, he’s going to have to prove that he’s worth it this time. Five years of being alone would make any woman wonder what happened to the sexy side of her. My best friend thinks I’m ready to move forward but, I’m not sure yet. After meeting a law enforcement officer that captures my eye, doesn’t mean that he will change my mind, or my heart. Even if he is a freaking magician between the sheets. I’m not interested in getting into a relationship; I can manage fine on my own. The only way I’d be interested in a man, is if he’s capable of not only being the right man for me but, he would have to prove that he’s the man that my daughter deserves as well. Arrested Heart is a standalone sweet and steamy romance novel with characters that jump off of the page and sit next to you as you read. This book is full of hot sex, hard life decisions, big hearts and forever friendships. Take a peek and see if you can stop turning the pages. This is the first novel in the ARRESTED series.
Review:
Author H. L. Nida dives right into the heat of the action in her exciting book, Arrested Heart, with the messy life of Lulu as a single mom and fills in the blanks as the story unfolds. You’ll be holding your breath and wondering if a stroke of serendipity will change her life for the better.
The story is a fast-paced 1st person account of a life gone haywire from life events, some of her making and others bad luck. From a crappy job, little help in raising her child, no decent man in sight, to true friendships and plenty of steamy encounters – leaving you blushed in the end. You’re in for a ride, sometimes bumpy other times smooth as silk, but Arrested Heart is an overall stimulating and captivating story.
The story is one that could be happening next door, to your friend, or even yourself. You’ll be drawn into the storyline like a moth to flames asking: Will the sharp-witted Lulu find happiness in a committed relationship that’s good for her daughter, too?
The character development from Lulu to her four-year-old daughter Sveva, and supporting roles are portrayed with realistic dialog and descriptive details. You’ll feel like you’re present and privy to the lives of these characters, their mistakes, and challenges.
The author, H.L. Nida teases and taunts you with sexual innuendos to the point you’d like for the main characters to become one in an explosive union. The romantic suspense is mind-blowing, and she doesn’t miss a beat in the realism of the hot sexual encounters.
Arrested Heart by H.L. Nida will keep you guessing until the very end. You’ll learn the value of friendships through the main character’s eyes and the significance family plays in deciding the future for a single mom. This is an excellent read for mature audiences and is highly recommended by Chick Lit Café.
