5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Before Lynae, my heart was just sitting lifeless in my chest. I wasn’t living. I’ve hidden away the shame and the regret for so long, that I never thought anyone could break through. She did that, and so much more.
I need Lynae more than I need air to breathe. She is everything to me. The night Lynae walked into my life, I knew that I would never be the same. My heart started to feel again.
Now that I’ve pushed her away, the walls that I had built stand to destroy us. I have to get her back. I can’t live without her.
She is the one thing in this world that can make my heart beat.
Review
Make My Heart Beat is the second book in the Shameful Regret Series and I am so so happy to finally get the conclusion of Lynae and Connor’s story. I liked this story even better than the first book in this series, In A Heartbeat. I don’t know if it was the anticipation or just the culmination of so much drama that came to a head at the end of the last book, but I really enjoyed all of the angst in this one and how it all played out. Another reason that I might have loved it just a bit more than the first is that this book had dual point of view and I am a really big fan of that. It certainly made a difference hearing and seeing things from Connor’s point of view.
Lynae and Connor were left with some serious problems and obstacles at the end of In A Heartbeat. The biggest being that Lynae does not feel she can trust Connor because he won’t open up to her about whatever problems he is having. I really felt for these two troubled people. Honestly, I was pulling hard for Connor this entire book, even though I know he made some pretty terrible mistakes where Lynae is concerned. These two are both just a hot mess, and I absolutely loved it. No one loves drama more than me and Connor and Lynae are just one dramatic event after the next.
OK, a few things here that I need to say. In A Heartbeat was really great but Make My Heart Beat was even better. I think that it flowed better and the story kept my attention the entire time. I literally read it in one sitting. I feel like Liz’s writing and presentation of her stories is improving with each book. Also, I really just love ALL of her characters. I am most certainly excited for Sly’s book. He is such a macho hot head that I just know he is going to deliver the drama and the steamy sex! Whew, I know what is coming Sly. and I am definitely looking forward to it! But, I really feel like I need to talk about Seth for a minute. He really stood out in this book and I am head over heels for this man. I am DYING for his book. I really very much need his happily-ever-after right this moment. I do not know why but he just stole my heart, and I need to know more about him right now! This series is coming together so nicely. My love and attachment to the characters is growing every book and I think that Liz may need to quit her full time job so that she can write and feed my Shameful Regret addiction.
