In Bo Lindgren’s world, when you’re emotionally stumped, you shun relationships and stick to plowing groupies. If only Nadia Vidal hadn’t complicated his rockstardom with her sect upbringing, her veiled present, her desire, guilt, shame… and husband.
BLURB:
Don’t judge me.
I am not what you see.
I am the opposite.
—Nadia’s lipstick note on Bo’s mirror.
Indie-rocker Bo Lindgren is worshiped for his looks and musical genius. It’s been lonely at the top since his ex left. Bo will never take a girlfriend again though, because he doesn’t have the chops to love. He knows he’s poison, a heartbreak waiting to happen for anyone he allows too close—like his ex. Bo screws his way through the fangirls until he’s sick of it all. Until the dark gaze of Nadia Vidal appears in the door to his dressing room.
Saved from an arranged marriage by Jude, the love of her life, Nadia eloped and got married at nineteen. But now, two years later, life is wilted, dead, and not what anyone should have to endure.
Nadia, with her secret-keeper eyes and instant understanding of who Bo is, attracts and fascinates him without even trying. The ring gleaming on her finger should keep them apart, but morals can’t always resist destiny.
When brokenhearted meets heartbreaker, whose heart is really at stake?

Bo and Nadia’s story is such a beautiful, sad story. I have read a couple of Sunniva’s books but they were more humor and Walking Heartbreak is a much deeper story. I loved it! These characters are amazing. The band members are all pretty kind to Nadia despite what they think her story is. Looking forward to more Sunniva books.
Wow just wow.. I started this book and I was “wait what?!” It took a second read of the first chapter to realize I hadn’t miss something and that not everything was as it seemed. I keep reading letting everything fall into place. Little pieces of the present and little pieces of the past all twisted together telling an emotionally riveting story. I found myself unable to put the book down until I knew the full story of Jude, Nadia and Bo. What an amazing story beautifully written and one I will be recommended to my friends. Again wow!!
I just found this rockstar book by an author I’ve not read before. This one had lots going on with a new indie/alt rock band with hot, sexy guitar player, Bo and the new object of his desire, Nadia. She’s had a very different upbringing in an ultra conservative religious ‘cult like’ church family. These two are complete opposites but somehow are really drawn to each other. Bo doesn’t believe he has any love to give and Nadia already has all the love she needs with someone else.
Fast forward and the mystery begins as this story is told from dual POVs and jumps back in time here and there to slowly feed you the ‘whole story’ mostly from Nadia’s perspective. I can’t say too much without giving away a big piece of the story but believe me, it is a different one for sure.
Loved the rocker elements, did I mention that 3 or the 4 band members are Swedish!!! The characters were interesting to meet, especially Bo’s lead singer bandmate, roommate and best friend, the outrageous Emil who can’t keep his hands off Nadia’s bff, Zoe. Those two are so wild and funny together unlike the innocent, fragile and sweet Nadia and hot, dirty mouthed Bo who finds himself wanting more from Nadia than she can give him. After all, her heart is already taken.
Pay attention and keep track of everything..this has more twists than a bag of pretzels!
The next book in the series features Emil but it’s a dark, emotional one!
Wow. This book was a real page turner. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. Bo and Nadia’s story is full of emotions, very intense and hot sex. Even though I had a feeling what was going on it still blew my mind and had me in tears when all was revealed. I enjoyed this story very much and recommend it.
I received an ARC and volunteered to leave a review.
Honestly, can Sunniva’s writing be more perfect?! The title is so fitting to the story. I can’t even begin to say what it was like to read this book. I am rendered speechless. I love Nadia and Bo! Excuse me while I go wallow in my pillow. I don’t know what to do with myself.
This fabulous, surprising story pulls you in from the beginning. As you read, don’t judge, because when you finally have all the answers, your jaw will drop!
