WillowDancer.Bride to be.Who I was, seemed to shatter into pieces. The pressure to bounce back from the accident was unbearable. Friends, family, overbearing mom and fiancé – all craving the old me, before I lost the use of my legs. I was determined to bend without breaking when I signed up for rehabilitation 243 miles from home. Whatever it took to feel myself again. Jeremy was hard to ignore. … hard to ignore. Country living expert, son of the carer, and not my fiancé Clay. He inspired something inside me that the pressure outside of rehab didn’t.
He inspired me to be more than the dancer and a future bride – a new me.
I never expected the accident to change my heart and all my promises.

Captivating: a real breath of fresh air!
“What The Heart Wants” is my second novel by this author, and it does not disappoint! It is the absolute perfect Contemporary Romance and so much more. Many words come to mind: captivating, heart-wrenching, charming, emotional, but mostly brilliant!
This beautiful tale of defeating obstacles, fate, finding your true self, and above all love, stars a strong heroine at a crossroads. With her heart and mind at odds, Willow does what she thinks is honorable, yet, sometimes, God has another fate planned for us—a destiny precisely where we should be and exactly what the heart wants!
This book is flawless, with an “omg” plot twist, and I applaud this author and her magnificent talent for storytelling!
The bed’s getting cold and you’re not here. The future that we hold is so unclear. But, I’m not alive until you call and I’ll bet the odds against it all. Save your advice, ’cause I won’t hear. You might be right, but I don’t care. There’s a million reasons why I should give you up, but the heart wants what it wants. The heart wants what it wants. – Selena Gomez
Your singing the song in your head, aren’t you? I couldn’t resist using the song in the review, especially since it is very fitting for the book. I didn’t have very high expectations for this book when I started reading it. It seemed overly cliched and boring. I thought I knew how the book was going to end. At first, it looks a lot like a second The Vow. I love The Vow but we’ve been there and got the merch. It didn’t look very original. Then, I continued to read the book because I made a promise to read it and write an honest review about it. I am glad I did. It turns out it wasn’t a second anything. It was a refreshing new read. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
I loved the humor she added throughout the book, especially at the end. The book was very refreshing to read. I loved Willow – it’s important to have a plan B and to learn that life doesn’t always work out as you want it. I had to learn this the hard way last year. I think this is why I found her to be very relatable and honest.
Willow is set to marry Clay. This is not the wedding or life that her parents want for her. But it’s exactly what she wants. Shortly before the wedding, she’s in a serious car accident, spends a month in a medically-induced coma, and wakes up with no memory of the accident. Unable to walk, she locates a facility dedicated to rehab, both physical and memory. Clay’s messages to her while she’s gone seem like he’s talking to a friend, not the woman he’s waiting to marry. And he hasn’t yet made time to visit her. As she gains strength, she begins to spend a little time with Jeremy, the son of Nora, her rehab nurse, and learns about his farm. There’s serious attraction between them, but she’s going to marry Clay as soon as she’s better. She just hasn’t told Jeremy about Clay yet. What happens when they find out about each other? Does she still proceed with the wedding? This is a fabulous book. It bothered me that Willow’s parents didn’t visit her in rehab, but early in the book, they’re described as being rather self-absorbed and extremely interested in “appearances”. Nora is just so wonderful and supportive. She didn’t just help Willow heal physically, but gave her a lot of things to think about regarding her future. When Willow’s memory from the night of the accident comes back, her decision is made. She WILL have a happy ending. But who will it be with?

What the Heart Wants is a heartbreaking and emotional story that is beautifully written.
The characters are charming, lovable, and relatable. The storyline is one of a body that needs to be healed and a heart that needs to make a decision.

A new to me author, Ang B had me in all sorts of emotions while reading What The Heart Wants. It was a read I found myself lost in more times than not.
Willows life seemed to be so perfect, just how she’d planned it out and just what she always wanted.
Until she’s faced with the unexpected and left with a shell of her old self. Confronting friends and family becomes too overbearing for Willow as she’s forced to figure out who she is; making a decision that moved her miles away from everyone seemed to be just what she needed.
Rehab on a farm seems too good to be true right, well turns out it is when she finds herself all flustered over the hot farm boy, Jeremy.
Can Willow accept these new feelings in her heart or will she crave her old life and go back to what she once had and forget what could have been?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Willow’s story. I became so drawn to the the characters and all the twists along the way that I found myself on the edge of my seat. This is a highly satisfying romance.
It comes recommended.
I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of this book from the author. And I’m so glad I did. I really enjoyed this sweet romance. It was a cute love story with just enough angst to keep you turning the pages. There was a few little twists that I didn’t see coming and one guy certainly stood out and had me swooning. Ang gives her main character a unique voice that jumps off the pages and makes you feel for her and the struggle she endures. If you enjoy a story that tugs at your heart a little, whilst giving you a toothache from how sweet it is then give this one a go. You won’t be disappointed. Great work, Ang!
