I just finished this duology and am left breathless. What a sincerely beautiful trip through love found, love lost, heartache, strength and love re-built. I thought the first book was great, but this second book has left me in a haze of emotion. This novel and its characters burrowed firmly into my heart, breaking it, then mending it in such a inspiring way. I am not a reader of poetry, but this passionately written series made me feel the deep power that beautiful, heartfelt words can have. I don't want to give the plot away, but please, please pick up this soul felt series and learn what it is to find strength even in the darkest of times. (and trust Scott to return your heart to you whole at the end of this epic journey of self discovery.)

*** A thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book to enjoy in exchange for an honest review. ***

It is incredibly difficult to review this sequel without getting into spoilers, so allow me to tell you in broad terms how much I absolutely loved and devoured this ending to a beautiful duology. Emma Scott tackles so many different issues in this sequel - disability, grief, loss, PTSD, the harsh reality for military veterans and prejudiced people out on the streets - and ties it all together with one overarching theme: love. Love for yourself, for your friends and family and for the love of your life. It was simply a wonderful conclusion that satisfied me and left me excited for Connor's novella.

Weston met Connor on his first day as a scholarship student in a private middle school. He saved him from being the bullied poor kid, and their friendship was a strong from day one. They were as different as could be,but there wasn't much they wouldn't do for each other.
Including signing up for the Army to keep him company and have his back. They literally saved each other's life one day. Unfortunately, West was shot in the process, and found himself paralyzed in the process. Connor held so much guilt over this, he felt it was his fault. All the while, they both were still filled with guilt at what they had done to Autumn, so they push her away. Could they ever move on?
My favorite part of this book was that it was a love story in an untraditional way. The love between Connor and Wes as lifelong friends, brothers. It was also about - as Scott mentioned- the love for yourself you can find through the love others give you. i appreciated the way the paralysis was covered. i learned a good bit about what those in a wheelchair have to deal with, but it was done in a way that i felt pride for wes and his growth rather than pity.
i've read a few books by ms scott now and everyone has been written int eh same addictive thoughtful way. i can't wait for more. thanks netgalley and ms scott.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. A well written book about loyalty, friendship, love and forgiveness.

Emma Scott is masterful with her story of love, hope, loss, betrayal, sadness and redemption. I was taken on a journey along with Autumn, Connor and Weston which had me feeling everything they felt. This book is beautifully written and left me dwelling on it days after I had finished reading. I wish I could give it 10 Stars. Truly a must read.

if book one was emotionally shocking, book two was simply fantastic, poetry transcended the pages. I could feel all the anguish and pain of the characters. And Wes and Autumn managed to rip my heart out of my chest. I sighed, smiled, cried, I dreamed awake .... It was a fantastic conclusion for these friends and without a doubt surpassed my expectations too much. Everything in this book is perfect, as impressive as Emma Scott leads people to feel everything she writes in this book. I love her books, but was the best of them all.
6/5 stars

This book was just wow. It has all the feelings, beautiful words, loving moments between characters, and wonderment of where the journey is going to take each character. The story is about best friends Weston and Connor and one puts their life on hold to be there and help the other friend. They have a friendship with such a strong love for each other. The author takes you on a beautiful journey of these two characters showing you self growth, love, and true friendship. It was a glorious ride and left me speechless on what the book made me feel.

**FULL REVIEW**

"She's in love with my soul, he said. And my soul is you."

That.
That was my favorite line in a long list of favorites throughout this story.

I felt every single word in that simple sentence.

Two men. Three hearts. Only one girl.

It was gut-wrenching, soul-shattering, mind-blowing awesomeness wrapped up in heartbreak and growth. Boundaries were drawn, and promises were made. I wanted nothing more than to keep reading about Wes, Autumn, and Conner forever.

I fell in love in Bring Down the Stars.
That feeling deepened to a warm, sincere appreciation and soul-deep romance in Long Live the Beautiful Hearts. I couldn't have asked for a more raw and real love story.

So, Emma Scott...thank you. Thank you for sharing your heart with me. These words. I am forever changed after reading this book and I cannot wait to read every other title you have written.

**5 Literary Gold, Stars*

This book made me so happy. Mostly because it progressed into the happily ever after I was hoping for from book 1. I wanted both these men I’d fallen in such love with to find happiness after the horrors of war they had witnessed that had left both with such physical, mental and emotional scars. They both needed women who would.. make them want to keep fighting for life and that is exactly what Emma Scott gave us. And can I just say, I’m so incredibly thankful for this ending because a lot of authors would have killed off the third in a love triangle but this author managed to give everyone in her book an ending that made this particular gushy and weepy for probably days to come. Thank you a million times over Emma Scott for writing a book that made my heart happy in so many different ways.

This book, this story it was truly beautiful and breathtaking. The journey these characters take, the way the author showed their growth, made me, the reader, feel and experience it, well, it was truly beautiful and breathtaking.

Long Live the Beautiful Hearts Is the conclusion of the duet ‘Beautiful Hearts’ by Emma Scott. To understand this it is recommended that you start their story right from the beginning- you definitely will feel lost if you don't read the first book.
It is hard to write this review without giving spoilers, but I have to say that this duet is maybe the most powerful work of Emma Scott.

5+ Beautiful Heart Stars

I was lucky enough to be able to read Long Live the Beautiful Hearts straight after finishing the first book, Bring Down the Stars. The impact of reading them back-to-back was immense. Once again Emma has written the conclusion to this epic love story so beautifully and full of emotional feels.

My heart was sore and sad with the hardships that Weston, Connor and Autumn had to face and deal with. Love and friendship will be tested and truths will be revealed.

The Beautiful Hearts Duet was an emotional reading experience and I highly recommend this duet as well as all and anything Emma Scott puts into writing.

Many thanks to the author and NetGalley for my copy to read and review.

Oh my god. I just fell even more in love with these characters. They just took all of my heart and claimed it as theirs. I’m so in awe of this book right now...just wow.

I’ve been waiting a while to read this and FINALLY managed to get around to it and god, I wasn’t ready. I just wasn’t ready at all! This book packs a punch, a punch that’ll gut you but just as quickly fixes you.

Long Live The Beautiful Hearts is book 2 in the series and MUST be read in order!

I’m not going to go into the storyline as I don’t want to give a thing away but you should just know it’s incredible. This story is incredible.

I want to be completely honest right now, this series is hands down Emma’s best work yet. It’s raw, emotional and heartbreaking and REAL!

The thing I love most about this woman and her writing is that she ALWAYS manages to capture your attention and make everything else around you disappear. Her words suck you in to a whole new world that holds her characters in and you’re left in that world long after finishing the books.

This series is most definitely one of my absolute favourite series ever. I loved how it grips you from the first book right through to the second book and doesn’t let go. Your heart and soul is 100% Weston, Connor and Autumn and you’ll love every second of this series.

This is the 2nd book in the duet. You MUST read the first book.
Wow I haven't read such an emotional book in a long time. I loved it.
Thanks for the Arc

After reading the first book i was captivated by the characters and the writing of from the author. Then when I read the blurb I felt like something bad was going to happen. So after getting into the book again I went straight back into the beautiful hearts storyline and I wasn't disappointed at all. It gave me smiles, tears and laughter and I think thats what all books should make a reader fell when reading there novel.

I requested this book from net gallery as I requested the first one. So once the second book had finished i dived straight into the next. There are 4 four main character:

Weston Turner – The character in which starts the book, turns out to be a very likeable character. Comes from a bad background but wants to work hard for a good career.
Connor Drake – Weston’s best friend whom he helped weston out in school and became inseparable ever since then.
Autumn – Bumps into Weston in the library and becomes an item with Connor.
Ruby – Autumns best friend and helps her out through her hard times in life.

There are points in the story when you feel really bad for Weston, I am not going to lie I did shed a few tears as it is such a challenging thing to go through. But when Autumn and Weston became friends it lifted your heart straight off the ground and the story started to pull you under the friendship and romantic aspect of the storyline. I would 100% recommend this book but you have to read the first book in the series to get a grasp of the story line and the characters that are in the first book so it will just flow. Please pick this book up its not something to over look, such brilliant writing and brilliant storyline.

This story is absolutely fantastic!
This second book makes you think how your life can change in just a few days. But you can't give up. You have to keep on going and learn to live with yourself again. And adapt your life to your new circumstances.
I don't want to say much because I don't want to spoil this wonderful book for the rest of the readers.
I loved the characters, especially Wes. Although I hated some of them in some moments, But at the end, I just cried like a baby ad forgave them. Just like Autumn would have done.

A book hadn't made me so emotional in a very long time. And that's saying a lot as I read Kingdom of Ash just last month. Wow. Just wow.

I find it a lot harder to talk about this book compared to the first in the duology. Lets just say it left its mark. A deep one. It was such a beautiful, gut-wrenching, and unforgettable read.

The poems in this book deserve their own separate book. They left me wanting more. They left me wanting my own Weston even though he was a moody asshole most of the time.

This review doesn't do this book justice as I'm still lost for words after finishing it this morning. All I can say is, read it. I'm so glad I'm finding out about books I never might have known about thanks to NetGalley.

The second book in Emma Scott's Beautiful Heart's series delivered everything the first book promised. Weston Turner has to overcome so many obstacles, both physical and mental, in order to find happiness again. He has lost so much, and, for a while, he is battling his demons without the support of Autumn and Connor. He pushes Autumn away (but finds he can't stay away from her for long, despite his feelings of guilt) and the Bromance between Connor and Weston is sorely tested. I remember reading, at a very critical point, the words "finally" in the first book of this series, and I actually cheered (although a bit too prematurely!!) But this second book took the story to a beautiful, bittersweet conclusion. I highly recommend this series! My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of these two books in exchange for an honest review.

I received an arc via netgalley, it in no way shapes this review.

Sooo let’s start off with I loved the first one. It was a roller coaster and lusty. The characters development and how they linked to one another was flawless.
Then I began this one with a break between the two and I don’t know if it was the break or just how this one trickled by and I felt detached. Each of our leading characters had cracks and broken pieces that seemed so excessive. The point was driven on how much the boys were broken over seas and I get that but none of it linked that it would become a happy ever after. The broody moody was high and mighty and took enter stage for most of the story which could’ve added to my “this is going to be a long one” but I kept pushing hoping it would give me more like it did from the first book. Sadly it fell massively short. I’m glad loose ends were tied, characters got that happiness, and all that Jazz.... but it just wasn’t my favorite.

3 1/2 stars.

I found a new favorite author. Emma Scott where have you been all my life!!!
This duet is so important, and mainly for the way it was written. I have never in my life felt so close to a fictional character. Weston J. Turner, I will always think of you! <3

Give these books a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!
