Heart Storms by N. Christine Samuelson

. . . Three lives collide in a perfect storm of heartbreak and ruin, betrayal and love in N. Christine Samuelson's Heart Storms.

Jade Armstrong, rising star in the hospitality industry, is brought to her knees after her lying, cheating husband dumps her for his rich, pregnant girlfriend who promises to foot the bill for his latest rehab stay. Jade's reaction makes readers stand up and cheer.

Rick Sterling, owner of a restored South Carolinian B&B is deep in grief for his beloved wife when Jade blows into his life, changing his heart and his business forever. Like a breath of fresh air, she brings healing and hope. 

Gabriel Montoro, a true hero, suffered from abuse, neglect and betrayal almost from the day he was born. Yet he rises above it all through hard work, grit, and courage—only to suffer betrayal again, this time on multiple levels. He runs from it all, a pattern he repeats over and over for the rest of his life. This time, he lands in South Carolina as the chef at Rick and Jade's B&B. Sparks fly and healing for all begins. 

Our Review: some will say Heart Storms should be shorter in length. Others might claim the plot line is too maudlin. Still, others might ask why muddy a well-working romance between two people who heal each other from betrayal, death, or emotional trauma when adding a third love interest only courts disaster?

Heart Storms may not work for every reader. For those who ascribe to the old saw: Living Well is the Best Revenge, we say, right on! Then we say: Enjoy!

On a scale of 1—5, Heart Storms deserves a 4.5
