How is it possible to feel so connected to another person? To feel every beat of their heart regardless of distance or circumstance? Especially when it’s someone who should not be grabbing my attention. Not just because of who I am, but because of the cards I’m dealt. The draft, Vietnam, the Marine Corp… they don’t care that I finally found what I’ve been missing in my life. That I found my … my reason to live. To be better. I want to be everything she deserves and more.
But can I be? Or is it too late? I don’t even know how I’ll make it through this war. What I do know is that I’ll feel her heart beating with mine until I come home to her. That is, if this war doesn’t take me first.

I strongly recommend this read. This is the first military romance I read. This story made me cry like almost every book Lindsay writes does. The young love of Susan also known as Susie and Ru throughout the story was strong and sweet. The ending was not what I was expecting but really loved the ending……. this is a must read.
Wow!
I swear Lindsay makes me cry while reading every single story she writes. I don’t even know how she does it!
The military is very strongly in my family life…. I may not have lost anyone in the Vietnam war, but I do know how they were treated and what it is like to lose someone to war.
Ru and Susan’s Love was young and sweet. Touching.
And that ending…. just… wow!
Awesome story/novella which I highly recommend!
Lindsay Becs does it again! She has left me an emotional mess This book made me feel so much and ripped my heart our at the same time. Being a military wife this book hit close to home for me and made me feel so much more when reading it. I really enjoyed reading this novella!
Susie and Ru give us an epic love story that gives you all the feels. this quick read will leave you wanting more but is so worth the read. the laughs and tears, that it brings and the place that it takes in your heart will believe in happily ever after.
This novella gave so much. Just like Lindsay always does. Hits you right in the feelings and was so perfect
I love a military romance. Especially how two people make it work and how even if the man is suffering the woman stays and fights to be with him to help him. This book is wonderful. I have family in the military now and who fought years ago and this got home. Dating, serving, everything was different back than. This is a historical military book and Lindsay captures it perfectly.
Lindsay Becs always leaves her heart bare and open in every story she writes. She always has these raw, emotional characters that hit you so deep. Her writing is flawless, she is always accurate with her information and she always blows me away, even with this short story!!
Susie and Ru – absolutely adorable and charming!! Their relationship is one that takes time to develop, but it makes you fall deeper for them and connect with them on an even deeper level. It is an epic story that will stay with you long after the last page!!
I’m not sure how Lindsay does it, but she makes me tear up for everyone of her books! She definitely knows how to make an emotional connection with her words and always they amazing letters she writes. Lindsay is part of the military world and knowing that this I based on a true story just makes her words that much more meaningful. Thank you for sharing your story! Everyone deserves a Ru and Susan type of love! <3
OMG…Lindsay Becs did it again!!! This book is so amazing!! Susie and Ru’s story has so much heart and you can see that Lindsay poured her heart and soul into it. You see the world in a different time including a time of war. You feel like you’re right there in the story with them. I had so much emotion going on as I read this. Keep some Kleenex handy!! Don’t let this keep you from reading the book though because it’s worth every tear, laugh, and everything in between.
This book was a quick and fantastic read. Lindsay’s writing is phenomenal and I never regret reading her books. Her writing is so passionate and keeps you engaged. I can’t compliment this book enough so you definitely don’t want to miss it!!

This book my be short yet it still made me cry! But was so so worth the tears. It was beautifully written. I loved the characters and the story! And the reason behind the story!
Although this was a novella, we got so much out of this book! I could tell that Lindsay poured her heart and soul into this book. There was so much emotion and so much truth to everything.
Susie and Ru were something else. I absolutely loved how they had this love affair from afar, that they both resisted so much, and for some long. But even better, they were so honest about it. It was so adorable watching as time went on and how their “slow burn” built up. Their love for each other was something else. Even though they didn’t admit it to each other, I loved seeing the little things.
Another favorite part was the setting in this book. Lindsay truly did her research and I felt like I was in the era with them! From getting a shake or soda at the pharmacy to working as a boy pumping gas. It was so great! And then, of course, the details from the war. It was amazing, terrifying and so heartbreaking.
Lindsay did such a beautiful job writing this book and telling the story of Ru and Susie
Broken Heartbeats is a remarkable, utterly sweet, heart wrenching novella jam-packed with ALL the feels! Susie and Ru’s compelling love story is completely CAPTIVATING and I absolutely LOVED their story…and that ending BLEW ME AWAY!’! I was a sobbing mess at the end and that’s all I’m gonna say because you really NEED to experience this heartbreaking yet, at the same time uplifting story of young unforgettable love that will stay with me for a very long time! If I have ONE complaint about this one it’s that it was simply too short….I didn’t want it to be over! Bravo, Ms. Becs….Bravo!
Broken Heartbeats is another phenomenal story from Lindsay Becs! Lindsay makes you feel it all with her writing, she may break you but she also manages to put you back together again. I love Military romance, and Lindsay’s is awesome!! This is Susie and Ru’s story, and what a story Lindsay tells!! Susie and Ru’s story is a journey and takes you all the way to Vietnam, where Ru finally smartens up. I was completely blown away by the ending!! WOW!!! Y’all need to read this book!!! I’ve loved Lindsay for awhile now and I always want more, her books are always too short in my opinion….but that’s because they are so darn good, you don’t want them to end!! So grab this novella, you will love it as much as I did!!!
Lindsay knows the magic of weaving a tale that pulls on every one of my emotions. Broken Heartbeats is everything I have come to expect from her and more. Susan’s story of her first and forever love is chock full of emotions with an ending that lingers on your soul. You touched my heart Lindsay and this story is with me forever. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
