Emotional and moving, Love Conquer is a story that will stay with you. It was beautifully written and Ms. Hart will pull you in with her words. She paints a picture you can’t help but get swept in. This book is a must read. The journey the characters travel on will tug at you and their growth will leave you smiling.
This book! It was filled with feels and I loved the dynamic between the two main characters, Nina and Kyle. Nina was strong throughout the book and definitely someone to admire. Kyle was swoon worthy to the max, but Gavin is still my favorite. I think Kyle comes in at a solid 2nd place. Hand hugs will never be the same. Chivalry isn’t dead. Quick read (for me), I couldn’t put it down and overall enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this series.
I have followed this whole series from book 1. I’ve loved all the characters! Niki and the girls mostly, but I have to say Nina holds a special place in my heart. Book 3 follows Niki’s sister Nina and her story. After leaving an unhealthy relationship and connecting with her sister again, Nina comes to find herself again. Meeting Kyle along the way helps. He’s a gentleman and shows Nina how a woman should be treated and loved all over again. Now I am being general in my description of this book because who wants to be told a story instead of reading? But I will say I absolutely loved this book and recommend it highly. I will also warn there are some trigger moments that might not work for other people but if you can see past them and get to HEA then you want to read this book.
Beautifully written. I don’t even have words to describe how fantastic this book was. From the very beginning you know Nina is a broken woman. She escapes from an abusive relationship and runs in the middle of the night to her sister. While trying to feel normal she meets Kyle, who also has a past that he can’t move on from. Two broken people that find each other and heal each other. I loved how even though Nina has the past that she does she never really is afraid of Kyle. She seems to instinctively know that he is a good guy.
I have enjoyed all three books in this series but WOW this book blew me away. My favorite yet. Definitely a book I will recommend.
CARY GIVES YOU THE FEELS in all of her books and this one is no different.
The characters in the Battlefield series are all amazing, but, for me, Nina and Kyle really hit the nail on the head. While I don’t think I fully connected to Nina, I could not get enough of Kyle. He wanted Nina in a way that every woman longs to be wanted. If he was upset, I was upset. If he was nervous, I was nervous. And that is Cary’s gift. Her characters interact in a way that you will need a tissue box or to laugh your ass off. By the end you squeeze the book and think “I love, love!”. Or maybe I’m the only one that cradles my books like babies, but whatever.
Read the other books even with this being a stand alone because you get such a better feel for Niki. Niki is a star any which way you look at it. So, it’s great because you not only get to watch Kyle and Nina in this story, but readers get more Niki and her relationship with Nina.
I don’t want to say much more than that because it’s no fun if you give it all away, but if you are interested in an emotional roller coaster ride, then, all three books are for you! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these characters and the world that Cary created.
Waiting (im)patiently for whatever’s next!!
Each and every time I read a book of Cary Harts, I become more amazed by her ability to write such wonderful and so truthful feeling stories. The struggles that Nina and Kyle had to overcome was heartbreaking and close to home for me. Niki, who is Nina’s sister is a total Riot, I just loved her sense of loyalty and the ability to protect Nina no matter what, especially when she threatens poor Kyle( lmao) the poor man.
Once you start to read this book, you will not be able to put it down til your done cause I sure didn’t, and you will not be disappointed after reading it. Wonderful story with some great characters. Truly awesome!!!!
Thank you Cary for another awesome book. You do ROCK
Love Conquer is an outstanding inspired, slow-burn romance filled with heartache, passion, and raw intensity.
Kyle and Nina’s addictive story pulls you in right from the first page and will keep you invested until the last. Hart’s words are beautiful and emotionally gripping. I felt every emotion the characters went through.
Nina’s pain and the often difficult subject matter tackled in Love Conquer was handled with care and illustrated exceptionally well by the author right from the beginning.
Nina and Kyle
When you’ve no option but to fight back, to put all the damned demons down once and for all so love can survive-can have a chance. When “I love you” are just words after the fact, and pain is all you’re really FEELING, no emotion, just aches. An amazing, compassionately, realistic novel of fortitude, strength, resilience, love, courage, faith, rebuilding, passion, and true love. Too many people live this vicious story in real life and Ms. Hart did a superb job of writing this novel that in this reviewers opinion should be a movie. Loved it.
Another well done by Ms. Hart! Love Conquer is an emotional read. I was literally biting my nail polish off. It really touched on the effects of emotional and physical abuse. A lot of the story line touched home for me and I could relate to what the main character, Nina, was going through but from her sister, Niki’s, point of view, And Kyle-WOW!! Chivalry is not dead!! Kiddos to Cary Hart.
This story gave me so many emotions from sad, to laughing, to crying, to yelling at my kindle. I absolutely LOVED it and it is very close to my heart. I could sympathize with Nina and I could feel her pain and her hurt and her indecisiveness.
The words “I’m Sorry” don’t mean shiz unless you truly mean them. They can’t be said everytime you have an argument or disagreement. They just don’t mean a thing if they are said over and over again and the person who is saying them doesn’t try to change their ways or actions.
Words can hurt yes but they can even kill a person causing them to want to end their life over the words that are being said to them. People don’t realize what words do to you. People say sticks and stones may break my bones by names will never hurt me and that is so not true! Words hurt they hurt like hell.
This is a story about Nina and Kyle and their love and their healing. I can’t say more because it will ruin it for the reader but out of all the three books this one really gutted me because it felt like I was reading my life.
This is the third book in this awesome series. Nina, who is Niki’s sister, has managed to escape from an abusive relationship and find her way back to her family. Kyle has been betrayed by those closest to him, but he and Nina are drawn to each other, and he teaches her how a woman should be treated and cherished. No spoilers; this is a definite must read series, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written story which is filled with guilt, betrayal, healing, pain, and love. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, and I highly recommend her work for all readers.
4.5 Cranky Stars
Ok this is my favorite one of the series. My heart is all a flutter for Kyle. I seriously thought Gavin was for me, but man was I wrong. Kyle is the ultimate book boyfriend with his hand hugs and rocking chairs and Lipton tea.
Nina has escaped abuse at the hands of man who claims to love her yet uses his words and his fists to belittle her and obliterate her soul and her self-worth. She escapes to her sister’s house where she slowly starts to piece herself back together bit by bit. She accepts a job at Java Talk and is putting one foot in front of the other until Kyle walks in. She knows it’s too soon but why can’t she have a friend? Their friendship turns to hugs that make her soul feel healed and alive. Nina knows the past is lurking in the shadows and when it comes to light it’s a fight for her life but the thought of Kyle gives her strength.
Kyle thought he had it all until his step brother swooped in. His family relationship is strained, and he throws himself into the construction business and his hardware store. Anything to distract his brain and all the what ifs. When he meets a timid girl at a coffee shop, he wants to save her but more than that he wants to hopefully love her and heal her. He takes it step by step for Nina’s sake. Just when he thinks he is in a good place the past comes back to haunt him and he fears he will lose Nina forever before they had a chance to start.
Kyle!! That’s all!! I love that he was such a gentleman, but his innuendos were giving me life. He injected humor and such heart into everything he did. He was perfect for Nina. My heart absolutely broke for that girl. I can’t imagine the things she suffered and how she managed to pick herself up. She thought she was weak, but I thought she was a strong girl. Brandon well he deserved what he got. He is a deplorable human being. We get to see more of the gang from crazy Niki to the motherly Aubrey. I will say it again this is my favorite story in the series.
I really liked this book. The story may be difficult for some people given the topic, but I feel like it was really well done and honest. The new characters were funny and the returning characters didn’t feel forced. Overall recommend. I just wish it was longer.
What a great read!!! I had a hard time putting this book down, it kept me pulled in wanting to know what was going to happen next! Nina and Kyle’s story of overcoming being broken is a promising story and one that I know can be attained in real life (even though real life might not be quite as adventurous). I found it easy to relate to the characters feelings throughout their journey of healing and the setbacks they faced. I highly recommend you read this book and see how they find their happy ending!
If you haven’t read the first two books in the series and want to find out more about the lives of other characters in this book, I suggest you read those as well. I love how the books have the characters intertwined but each book focuses on the lives of each couple. Great writing Cary Hart!! Can’t wait to read more, they just keep getting better and better!
“Leaving was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. How do you say goodbye to someone you once loved, without it affecting you? It was supposed to set me free, not cage me in my own fears.” ~ Nina
Another soul consuming read from Cary Hart. Nina and Kyle are two broken puzzle pieces that are healed through the love they find with each other. It contains domestic abuse and getting out of that situation. This book touches on the struggle to leave a bad relationship and start new ones in it place. It’s a fantastic read and hopefully it may help someone have the courage to change their life to make it better.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is a great book. Written with great detail and you will feel like you are right there in the moment with Kyle and Niki. You will care about Kyle and Niki as if they were your own friends. Great ending and I wish there was another story to see what happens with them next!
I don’t know where to start. Of course I don’t do spoilers so this will be fun. This book is amazing and not only because of the story it tells and the characters it has it is the feels. We all know there are plenty of books out there that fall flat splat in the delivery. If you walk away from this story and feel nothing that in itself will be the miracle. Nina is finally free and experiencing happiness she had forgotten existed. Niki is a freaking beast and I absolutely adore her as a big sister (ha a spoiler). But there’s something special about a man that’s not afraid to be a softie and that’s her man. There’s also something wonderful about a man that due to his past thinks safety first in all things, especially her and that’s Kyle.
This author gives us characters that touch our heart and makes us hurt for them. She writes about real life and real life’s messes, we all have had them so we understand which makes it more. I love this author and have completely loved watching her find her voice. I plan on staying around enjoying amazing reads and reaping the benefits for a long time to come. Another Amazing Read.
From the first word, Love Conquer had me hooked & captivated! The pain & abuse Nina suffered was unreal. The betrayal Kyle had to face from within his own family & then be expected to just deal. To have the person you love & trust above all others turn on you & steal your sense of worth, your sense of life & leave you broken. It’s a heartbreaking story but it also became a heartwarming story. The courage that it took for Nina & Kyle to overcome their damaged self worth & open up to each other, trust each other. When their collective pasts rear its head, can they recover again?
Cary Hart can express so much emotion & feeling with the written word. The reader feels like they are in the room with the characters. The interactions have a ring of truth to them. You have to keep reading because there isn’t a good spot to stop. The feelings of love, pain, guilt & betrayal come through in every word, every action. The title to the series says it perfectly. “Love is a Battlefield”
I love this series so much. I am not one to write spoilers but let me just say that this book was my favorite so far in this series. I truly loved book one and two and really did not think anything could top them. Well Cary proved me wrong. Love Conquer is an emotional roller coaster ride you won’t want to miss. Niki will crack you up with her antics and her protectiveness of Nina. Not to mention her love of coffee. Which I totally understand. Nina will take your emotions all over the place. The abuse Nina endured will break your heart but her strength is so amazing. I love Kyle. Kyle is dealing with his own demons but Nina and Kyle complement each other so well. I could go on and on about this book however I am not going to spoil it for other reader. Do yourself a favor and read this amazing book, you won’t be disappointed I promise. Thanks to Cary for sharing her amazing talent with all of us who love to read.
I loved this SO much! Nina and Kyle have such heartbreaking pasts but they heal each other, overcoming so much to be together. It’s not easy and sometimes not pretty but this story is amazing. I loved this whole series and Cary Hart saved the best for last!
