Love Jennifer Hartmann! But this one juts missed for me
Didn’t care for it and the ending
But I will read everything she writes

I already knew before reading this it would be emotional so I had to brace myself. Lots of twists and heart wrenching moments. It was painful, but beautiful. Have yet to be disappointment by any of her work.

Jennifer Hartmann can do no wrong in my book. Her stories are always gut-wrenching and beautiful and heartbreaking and healing all in rolled into a captivating package.

Oh the emotions in this story was so good. I enjoy a broken and flawed hero and Parker fits the bill. The Wrong Heart takes on difficult but very important topics such as suicide, abuse, neglect and mental health. Emotional dark but it had to be given those topics. It was fabulously explored especially how Melody slowly broke down Parker’s walls. He was so closed off but who could blame him with that baggage and trauma. He’s evolving was amazing as was Melody’s. Them falling in love felt believable because of how their communication started in the first place. Melody didn’t fall in love because of who had her husband’s heart.
Sadly the last 20% didn’t work for me. It was too predictable, too many coincidences and the drama was in my opinion unnecessary and over the top.
Still I enjoyed The Wrong Heart all because of Parker and Melody. Two fantastic characters who fought their way back and out of the darkness.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC of the newly republished version of this book!! I absolutely devoured this book. It broke my heart, made me smile, made me cry, made me laugh. Jennifer truly has a way to make you feel ALL of the emotions. Parker and Melody have a special place in my heart. Please check TW before giving this one a go!!

Jennifer Hartmann got me really good with this one! It was so full of emotion and depth and I could not put it down. Both Melody’s and Parker’s stories were so heart wrenching and heavy and I cried so much reading this. It was full of healing and finding love again, this book was about coming back to life. Jennifer manages to grab your heart, rip it out of your chest but then put you back together again. An amazing read.

The Wrong Heart by Jennifer Hartman is an absolute gut-punch of a heart-wrenching & heart-healing romance novel. I highly recommend getting the tissues & checking the content warnings though because oh boy does this one cover some very difficult topics, but this was a truly beautiful story.

The Wrong Heart is for those looking to read…
🖤 Emotional Romance
🖤 Grumpy x Sunshine
🖤 Difficult Topics Such as Grief
🖤 Healing
🖤 Spicy Romance

Jennifer Hartman writes with such stunning prose. I am in awe with the feelings & emotions that they are able to invoke with their writing. I am not usually a cryer, but this one had me sniffling so hard I accidentally woke my dog up from their nap. This is the type of book that reminds you of the roller coaster that is the life, the horrific lows along with the amazing highs & the beauty of living & finding the good things in each day.

This is my first Jennifer Hartmann & I can guarantee this won’t be my last one of theirs. If you love emotional romances that will you give you an array of feels, I highly recommend reading The Wrong Heart.

Massive thanks to NetGalley & Bloom Books for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

The Wrong Heart by Jennifer Hartman is nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first page, I was completely captivated by the emotional depth and rawness of the story. Hartman has a remarkable way of making the characters' emotions and struggles feel so real and palpable, pulling you into their world with every turn of the page.

The chemistry between the main characters is electric, and their journey of love, loss, and healing is both heartbreaking and beautiful. The plot is full of unexpected twists that kept me on the edge of my seat, while also delivering moments of tenderness and hope. The way Hartman balances the heavier themes with moments of lightness is perfect, and it left me feeling deeply connected to the characters.

What stands out the most is the writing—it's lyrical, emotional, and honest, making you feel every high and low right alongside the characters. This is a book that will stay with you long after you've finished it, and I couldn't recommend it more to fans of heartfelt, gripping romance.

If you're looking for a book that will tug at your heartstrings, make you laugh, make you cry, and leave you feeling deeply satisfied, The Wrong Heart is an absolute must-read.

Jennifer Heartmann creates such beautiful and complex characters. I got an ARC of this book and went out and bought a physical copy.

Jennifer Hartman is truly magical when she writes a story because my gosh, she writes a story that has everything in it. She has romance and steam, she breaks you and tears you down, she could make you tear up but she tends to build you back in some way. The Wrong Heart truly was that story, Melody's life is torn apart by the loss of her husband, and she decides to reach out to the person who received his heart. What comes after is unexpected and a possible second chance at happiness and maybe even love.

This book literally destroyed me in a good way! This was such an incredibly raw, beautiful written and captivating story. Jennifer Hartmann sure knows how to pull at my heartstrings, but as with the other stories I have read by her, the strong emotional reactions are so worth it by the end. My heart just absolutely ached for both Melody and Parker throughout this entire story. I wanted their HEA so freaking badly.

Like I said, the beginning destroyed me and the words "I got your purse" will legit stay with me for the rest of my life.. but after the first couple of chapters - this story just didn't capture me the way I was hoping.

***check trigger warnings.

Soooo this story is kinda hard to read…
Melody and her husband are celebrating their 5 year anniversary when he is tragically killed while chasing someone who has stolen his wife’s purse. He was the love of her life. She doesn’t know how to get over the loss of him. She donates his organs which includes his heart and she wonders who it went to.
So she obtains the recipient’s email address.
She emails him….
And one day, the recipient saves her…
Sweet story, just a hard read.

The Wrong Heart is a dark romance by Jennifer Hartmann. There are trigger warnings for this book: spouse death, suicide, child abuse, mental illness

Melody March has a wonderful life. A husband she loves and plans to build a beautiful family and live happily ever after. On the night that was meant for celebration, Melody’s husband is hit and killed in a tragic accident leaving her in a deep depression.

A year later Melody is still buried in her grief and after an attempt at taking her own life, Melody joins a survivor group where she hopes to rebuild the sunshine in her life instead of the all consuming darkness.

Parker notices Melody immediately when she joins the group meetings. She is the light to his darkness and as much as he tries to stay away, he’s drawn to her

Parker had a rough childhood and even now that he’s out of the foster system and on his own his distrust of women in general is nearly debilitating.

As Melody continues to work her way under Parker’s skin, they begin to find the light together but Parker has a secret he needs to tell Melody and it could cost him the first woman he’s ever fell in love with.

This was a great book! A 5 star read for me. It’s angsty, sad and steamy. There are so many tough scenes in the book yet the connection between Melody and Parker is incredible! I highly recommend this book but would encourage you pay attention to the trigger warnings before reading!

This is my second Jennifer Hartmann book. My first was Catch the Sun. I really enjoyed The Wrong Heart. This author sure knows how to pull at your heartstrings, and keep you rooting for her characters.

I didn’t realize I had been approved for this arc otherwise I would’ve dived into it ASAP. I love Jennifer Hartmann and have never read a book of hers that I’ve rated less than 5 stars. I will be purchasing on my own as I’ve missed the window to download and review the arc I had been originally sent. I apologize.

I had COVID in December, and just realized I forgot to post my review!!

I freaking love Jennifer Hartmann. I had the pleasure of reading this book before it was published through SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books, and I loved it! Also, I think I needed even more tissues the second time around.

If you don’t know, Jennifer Hartmann is the queen of tugging at heartstrings (at least mine), but this book is on another level. I sobbed--in the best way--after finishing The Wrong Heart. I've read almost all of Jennifer's books, and I think this one has the most touching ending. I felt it deep in my romantic soul.

Prepare your tissues, your toilet paper, your paper towels, whatever you use to blow your nose and wipe your tears, and read this book!

Jennifer Hartmann know how to pull on our heartstrings!!! Twisty and heavy this book was a real rollercoaster but so beautiful at the same time!

The Wrong Heart by Jennifer Hartmann is not my usual fair but I truly loved it. It was intriguing, insightful, and broke the mold. A+!!

Parker and Melody are everything I have come to expect from this author - an emotional rollercoaster that brings you some really high highs and some really low lows.

Melody suffers the loss of her husband in the most heartbreaking way. Through her pain, she faces the harsh reality of navigating loss and her grief.

In an attempt to get a handle on her grief, she reaches out to the person who received his heart in organ donation.

The book comes with some heavy trigger warnings because of the journey you’re brought along on in her journey to healing and meeting Parker at a support group.

If you’re looking for an emotional, hard fought, messy romance, this one is for you!!

I loved this one with all of its twists and turns. I thought I knew how it was going to turn out, but I had NO IDEA! Love love love a story that surprises me. And Parker? Yum. Dark and broody. I loved the love story.
