Book Review: The Heart That You Break

The Heart You Break

 "Don't ever jump between me and a bullet again, understand? That's not your job."

Actually it was.

"The Heart You Break" is the fourth book in Wilde ways series, a romantic suspense series by Cynthia Eden. I love the cover theme for all these books in this series. 

First of all, I read anything and everything by Cynthia. She's my go to author. I was so excited when she announced this title and she didn't disappoint. I loved Julia and Bran.

This story sports a rock star Bran Copper, who has stalker. When his life is threatened, his manager sort out the help of Wilde Securities. Eric enlists Julia Slate to take the case, who after a slight persuasion agrees. The catch, Bran shouldn't know the real identify of Julia. Because he doesn't want a bodyguard.

When Julia shows up on a stormy night at Bran secluded cabin, where he stays to write his new songs, Bran is helpless. No matter what others say about him, he couldn't sent her away alone. One night, he says to himself when he lets her in. 

However, the attraction is almost immediate. Both are shocked by the intensity of it. Julia's secret is threatened when the stalker strikes again. Only this time, he was hurting the ones close to her. 

Bran hates liars. What happens when he learns that the woman he starts to care for isn't what she seems to be? Betrayal once again cuts his heart. But the is closer than they thought and he likes to explode things.

Bran is bad boy with a soft heart. I loved it when he goes all protective and possessive over Julia. There were many 'Aww' moments between these two, especially before he learns her secret. Bran is sexy and handsome...ahem...my new crush. Right. Now, over to Julia. She packs a lot of surprises. We meet her in book one "Protecting Piper." She appears small and delicate, but appearances are deceiving. 

Also, Bran is an intelligent character. He has a quick presence of mind and connects dots faster. The initial sexual tension is nice. The cat and mouse chase between the couple and the stalker will keep the readers at the edge. One thing about this author's books is that, readers always know that the villain is a person known to us. But the revelation and the backstory is all what holds surprises.

The climax and a few scenes reminded me of few other books by the same author. Overall, another interesting book from Cynthia. If you're looking for a sexy book with toe-curling romance, which is also a page turner, go for it.
