What an emotional rollercoaster ride this book was. I LOVED it!! it has it all hot and steamy scenes, love, anger, drama, and angst. It truly is one of the best romance novels I have read. I love that it wasn’t all hearts, rainbows and butterflies like a lot of romance novels are. It was unpredictable and was wrote to stand out! I cannot wait for whatever Keira comes out with next!
Heartrending, Romantic, need tissues
Such a great love story. This book ripped my heart out. This is a book that will stay with me for life. This is not a cookie cutter Hallmark story. Not for the faint of heart. It is a very romantic story. It pulls at many emotions. It made me laugh, cry, smile, and sigh. If you’re looking for a fantastic story, get your copy and start reading. If you want an epic book with an HEA that rips your heart out, this is the book for you. Goodness, this is one I will remember forever. Just make sure you have a box of tissues handy. It takes a lot to make me cry now a days. This one made me SOB!! I used 5 tissues. At one point in this book, I had to stop reading and take a break. Then a couple hours later, I was right back there. I Just Loved this book!!! From a New Fan… Pam James.
Oh my, Keira M. Belle’s book Unsteady Heart took me on an emotional rollercoaster of a ride, a riveting story from cover to cover. The characters are incredibly well-drawn and a perfect match for each other. The plot was well played and so worth the read. Let me just say, this book is so well written that I felt as if I could reach out and smack a few of the characters. I had an immediate love for Monica, she’s feisty, strong minded, strong willed, she doesn’t take anything from anyone. This story may have points that might reflect real life events. Ms. Belle wrote them with such understanding and passion it is no wonder why I could not put this book down.
So I hate saying this but most of this book I wanted to smack Monica upside the head. I mean I get that her ex did some damage on her, which makes her untrusting towards men but come on, Jason was doing all the things right. He spoiled her and showed his love. She let people get into her head and made decision without talking to the person first. So much of this book would have been taken out if she did that. Jason was a sweetheart and a saint. He goes thru so much in this book. I mean sure he’s a playboy and his dad is Grade A Jerk. He treats Monica like a queen but get crapped on because her head isn’t right. This book is heartbreaking and compelling. It keeps your attention from beginning to end. It will have you shaking your head at times and swooning.. Monica doesn’t make great choices in this book. If you haven’t guessed it yet, she wasn’t my favorite character. I loved Jason and most of her family.
Emotional roller coaster ahead!! Ms. Belle squeezes your heart on this second chance love story.
Monica and Jason are very developed characters with raw, passionate, and sexual attraction that is a yo-yo!
This is an amazing read, which could be told about anyone! Highly recommend!
4.5 stars
What an awesome debut novel. The storyline was engaging and the characters were relatable. There is a little bit of everything for the reader a triangle, angst, love, despair, heartbreak and strength. I’d certainly recommend picking up a copy and reading this book.
Monica lives on her own after divorcing her husband. She has a good job, great boss, a best friend who is like a sister and a loving family. Her sister Nancy can be a bit prickly, but that is just how sisters are, isn’t it. It’s one of those days and it has only just begun. If it could go wrong, it did the only moment worth remembering was those blue eyes. Monica never expected to see him again but never say never.
Jason was enchanted by her from the moment they met. He had a reputation as a player but he was taking his time to get to know her. Monica has a way about her that made him open up which he never did. It was quick, but when the heart knows the heart knows. Jason loved Monica and she loved him, enough to let him go and have the life she thought he deserved.
As they move on with their lives, their paths keep crossing. They are drawn to each other, play games and try to hurt one another. Sitting by watching Monica with someone else is heartbreaking for Jason. Both are existing in their day to day lives, looking for the elusive missing piece of their heart that they gave away.
Unsteady Heart was a page turner. It kept me at the edge of my seat and hanging on till the very end. All I wanted was to see Monica get the man of her dreams. It took her the entire book for her to realize that the love Jason and her had was one of a kind. And just maybe they were meant to be. This book made me laugh and I cried lots. I thought it was great the way Monica got revenge with her ex husband for his infidelity. Unsteady Heart is a must read.
I am looking forward to reading more books by this author in the future
My heart was left unsteady! Unsteady Heart had me on an emotional rollercoaster. This couple is amazing together. They have their own issues and reasons for their decisions. Monica’s over analyzing is true to women and their actions. Jason, what can I say about Jason? Age shouldn’t be a factor, but I could completely relate with Monica and her insecurities and self-doubt. Pick up Unsteady Heart and be ready to add this to your “to read over and over again” shelf.
What an emotional rollercoaster!!
Oh my goodness, I can relate so much to Monica’s overthinking and worrying about what everyone thinks!! I lost count how many times I shouted “no!” to Monica in my head about the choices she made.
She was so frustrating at times, but a beautiful character with heart and soul. I loved all of the characters, especially Jason and Anna. This story was hot, steamy and heartbreaking with twists, turns and tradegy I just didn’t expect. Oh my goodness!! The shocker!! I didn’t expect that either, but my initial jaw drop was soon replaced with devastation and sympathy.
Be prepared for ugly crying and keep the tissues close! Highly recommended!!
This was a beautiful story about a 34 year old Woman Monica, who after being married and cheated on by her Husband, struggles with insecurities and self doubt. Its about a sexy 28 year old Man Jason, who was once a “hit it and quit it guy” who after meeting Monica one morning by chance feels instantly attracted to her. It’s about the struggles of James trying to prove to Monica that age is just a number and that there is only one Woman for him.
I absolutely loved this story, it gave me all the feels and lots of anxiety hoping for love to prevail.
If your looking for an easy to read, steamy romance with a hot guy and a women who doesn’t seem to be able to see the glaringly obvious then this is for you. Monica is an intelligent women, or so it seems, but her past has left her unable to trust men. Jason, is your typical hot, sassy playboy and definitely not looking to settle down. It’s easy to see the chemistry between Monica and Jason at their first meeting, yet you can feel Monica’s reluctance to get involved. Their story is one of true love but it’s not an easy path. Jason puts his all into following his heart, yet Monica allows her own doubts, insecurities and other people interfere with in their journey. Quite how they Monica and to a certain extent Jason allowed some things to happen is a beyond me, but it made for a good read.
An emotional roller coaster of love, betrayal, lust and finally acceptance. Monica and Jason find each other when Monica’s life is turned upside down. Can their happily ever after be found when Monica fights against it and doesn’t want to let anyone in. When her trust issues hinder any progress that she may make to allowing herself to be with Jason. This debut author has written an amazing book that flows beautifully and well defined characters that you can’t help but fall in love with and root for until the end.
I really enjoyed this book. The story was well written and the characters were great. The author made you feel like you were there, experiencing the love and the loss. There were parts that you will need tissue. Through the ups and downs Monica and Jason story comes together. I can’t wait to see what the author has for us next.
Keira M Belle is a new author to me. This was the fist book I have read by her but it won’t be the last. She has written a great modern day romance for Monica and Jason.
Monica has been through a lot and many changes in the last year. She goes betrayal and emotional turbulence, written so well, but during all of it Jason is there as a truly reliable constant presence. The question for Monica is will she let Jason in and let him be her love.
Unsteady Heart will take you through every emotion you can think of and will show you the kind of love that everyone dreams and wishes for. The characters are developed and dimensional and you will truly connect with them.
I would recommend this book to anyone.
I can’t believe this is Keira M. Belle’s debut book, the way this was written I would have thought it she was a more seasoned writer. This book was phenomenal! I can’t wait to see more from her in the future!
What a book!!!!!! This is an extremely emotional second chance romance that will have you laughing, crying, screaming and then continuing to read because you will not be able to put it down because you have to know what happens. Amazing writing and likable, strong characters that you will no doubt be able to relate to. This author is so good and I can’t wait to read more from her!
This book was an emotional rollercoaster! The ups and downs had my stomach all over the place. Their attraction. Their angst. The loss, lies and betrayal from loved ones. It was so much deeper than just them. The story had so many off shoots that made you feel just as much as the main relationship. I loved how they got their ending.
Is this really Keira M. Belle’s debut novel? Unsteady Heart reads like it’s written from a seasoned writer.
I really loved both Monica and Jason. I loved how real they both felt, and the conflicts they went through. And a story with an older woman/younger man? Yes, please!
This is a book that I definitely recommend. I will most certainly look out for more books by Keira M. Belle!
Wow!! Is this really her debut book?!?! I was instantly wrapped into this beautiful story about finding your one and only and being true to your heart. I laughed and cried and mourned with these characters and couldn’t be more pleased with this book. No, seriously get started now! It is an emotional roller coaster that you will want to ride again and again!
Monie is a divorced woman who is tainted by her past and her own insecurities. Her dating life has been less than stellar and she content with being alone and tries not to think about the loneliness surrounding her. When she meets Jason, she feels things she has only hoped for, but when the doubts start creeping up she is determined to not be crushed by a man again. Will these two ever have their happily ever after?
I cannot believe this was a debut book! What a riveting and intense story. I could almost physically feel the pain of Monie as she struggles with her emotional roller coaster. Will definitely read this author again.
