Love Divide is a sweet romance about unexpectedly finding love twice at the same time. Nikki is a fun, snarky heroine who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Her bluntness and coffee addiction had me laughing throughout her heartfelt story.
I unknowingly started this series backwards and read book 3, Love Conquer, before picking Love Divide. Cary Hart does such a great job writing each of these books as a standalone that I didn’t have any problem jumping in backwards and getting to know these characters out of order.
My my my how this author has matured. This story is both sexy without having a bunch of sex in it and intriguing in a special kind of way. The way the story builds and the people in it and how each is dealing with what is going on. This author plays us so well and I love it. I will not complain when I find myself laughing and the aww poor booboo and the feels get all involved I love it. This author is showing growth and her comfort and confidence is showing in this read about broken people and the things they do to run and hide in plain sight.
There’s lies and betrayal, jealousy, manipulation and just dang yeah this author is definitely maturing and that can only mean great reads upcoming for us. I have been here since book one and I will be staying.
This story was AMAZING!!!!!!!! I mean it. I don’t know what I would do if I was in Nikki’s situation. The choice she had to make was hard but she made the right one based on her heart and her situation. Nikki never did anything half arse so she was a great woman to begin with. She didn’t realize that Gavin had a crush on her but he never wanted to cross those lines of friendship into a relationship for fear of losing her as a friend if things didn’t go right. I liked Aiden to but my heart was with Gavin all the way but Aiden was hot as hell and he did have a lot to give.
Nikki is a school teacher and has the summer off so she bartends at Gavin’s bar. She loves being there with him and her best friend. Then one night she has a dance with a guy and she is swept off her feet and given a proposal she just can’t refuse or can she? This is where the story takes off and she finds out that Gavin has feelings for her and the proposal is her leaving for the summer to go with Aiden and leave Gavin and her best friend behind. Can Nikki do it or will she stay and give Gavin a chance?
This is the second book in this amazing series. Niki is a preschool teacher, who works in the summer’s at a bar which is run by her BFF Gavin. Niki has always has a secret crush on Gavin, but neither of them express their feeling. Aiden is a sexy business man, who makes Niki and offer she cannot refuse, and Gavin is left heartbroken. Things are not as they seem though, and bring in the ex and things get interesting. This is a well written story which had me captivated throughout, and is filled with drama, twists, humor, and romance. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

This novel is a great example of romance. I love the brother’s best friend trope and the suspense thrown in. The H and h had great chemistry all together. In addition, the pacing was great for a short novel. Loved the story.
Steamy, intriguing, and heartwarming! Cary Hart cleverly delivers humorous moments mixed with a decadent amount of suspense that will leave you wanting more. Gripped by every word, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Love Divide is a beautifully crafted story- the writing is flawless, and the character development is phenomenal. Ms. Hart has created a very vivid world and I am not sure how I will be able to wait until the next installment, more than likely not patiently.
This series just keeps getting better and better. I loved the fresh storyline and twists and turns in this book. I never guessed the secrets that were revealed. I love how Cary Hart is telling suck original stories. They are suckong me in and keeping me entertained with every page. I loved the characters in this book. And I loved the glimpses of characters from the previous book. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.
Niki and Gavin are best friends and even though they are attracted to each other they didn’t want to ruin their friendship so they kept their feelings to themselves. Aiden is a sexy billionaire who gives Niki a proposition she can’t refuse. When Niki needs help which of these two men comes to her rescue? This well written friends to lovers romance is filled with humor, heartbreak, suspense, twists and turns and a wonderful HEA.
Gavin and Niki are best friends although it seems as if the attraction has always been there but they valued their friendship too much to take a chance on that. When Niki met Aidien he swept her off her feet with a proposition she just could not refuse.she soon learns that nothing is for free especially if it is too good to be true. And who better to come to her aid than her best friend Gavin. This also opens their eyes and hearts to the possibility of love between them. This is a good solid read.

4.5 Cranky Stars
Niki has secrets deep rooted secrets. All she feels she needs in life is Aubrey and of course Gavin. She has always felt a pull toward Gavin but wasn’t sure he felt the same way. She knew deep down but didn’t want to risk a friendship. When money problems arise she is offered a personal assistant job for the summer to Aiden Alexander. She embarks on this summer job and feelings develop. Aiden has issues and secrets himself and she is torn. Torn between two men. One she knows so much about and knows her and one who is mysterious and only shows small snippets of himself.
Gavin Shaw has always loved Niki. She brought light to his dark world and he has held onto that. Being whatever Niki needed at that moment without ever taking it a step further. When Niki up and quits her summer job he knows deep down that Aiden will just hurt Niki in the end, but he has to let her fall. While she’s away they keep contact, but he tries to move on. Realizing that she is all he will ever need he hopes for a chance to tell her. When their worlds collide again it’s filled with drama and heartache and fireworks.
I have a serious crush on Gavin Shaw. He is book boyfriend material to the very end. I like that Niki was spunky and she knew who she was. She was loud and foul mouthed a lot of the times but she loved hard. Aiden my dear I want to feel sorry for him but he made his bed and now he’s on the pay no mind list. This book isn’t all love and happiness there is some serious drama too. I was holding my breath at the very end. I can’t wait to pick up the next book in the series.
Second in this series and I have to say the best one . I absolutely loved these two. Friends that don’t see what is right in front of them until they realize they could lose it all. I absolutely loved the story line the characters and the amazing chemistry. I love how Cary adds romance and suspense into an amazing book. Twists and turns you truly never see coming. But these two are my favorite couple just something about them. I would gladly love to read more from them. Highly recommend.
Sexy, suspense ridden, two hot guys, a strong female character, choices that are tough, that reeled me in. I loved this well written book, character development that is nuanced, layered with angst and intrigue, voices are authentic, relatable. Like going to your hometown corner bar, friends waiting. Book two, can be read as stand alone. Highly recommended.
Niki was a great character, she’s smart, fierce, and stands up for herself. I loved that she stayed true to herself even as she grew and changed. I was completely glued to the pages wanting to know what happens next. I’m definitely looking forward to more in the series
Nikki is a per school teacher and during the summer she helps her guy best friend Gavin at the bar Called Spotlight and both want each other more then they say they do. One night a Hot guy named Aiden comes in and offers Nikki a job that will pay a lot of money to be his PA for the summer.
She starts to fall for Aiden charms and She still wants Gavin but she is scared that if they crass that line then there friendship would be gone
If you want to know who she chooses and ends up being with read this book I am sure that you will love this book just as much as I do
With more refined writing than in her first book, Cary Hart has proven that she is here to stay. This is a fantastic, punchy, witty, and touching story that runs mostly simultaneously to Love War (but should be read after it). I laughed and raged throughout, ultimately sighing with relief at the ending (which is unexpected and absolutely perfect – I shall say no more!). A fantastic book, and I’m eager for the next one!
Love Divide is the second book in the battlefield of love series, however the books can be read individually as they are about different couples.
While reading this story I found myself wishing for Nikki to be with Gavin, I immediately disliked Aiden and felt he was not good for Nikki.
The way Cary writes the story gets you really invested in the characters lives and makes you feel like you are there living this story with them. I can’t even count the amount of times I wanted to shake Nikki and tell her to stop what she was doing.
The story contains some amazing twists that I wasn’t expecting and the ending left me feeling all gooey and mushy inside.
Cary truly is a talented writer and I would definitely recommend this book and series to anyone who loves a good romance story.
A great second book in the Love series. Love Divide was Niki & Gavin’s story. They are co-workers who became best friends. They loved each other but each didn’t want to screw up what they had so they dated others. In comes Aiden and I did not like him from the get go. I felt Niki saw in Aiden what she wanted with Gavin but felt she couldn’t. Gavin was always there for Niki even when she felt she couldn’t share her problems with him. If you enjoyed Love War you will enjoy Love Divide
