BOOK BLURB
Rosie Lachlan wants nothing more than to find The One.
A year after she was dumped in her wedding dress, she’s working at her parents’ bridal salon, anxious for a happy ending that can’t come soon enough. After receiving a life-saving heart transplant, Rosie knows her health is precious and precarious. She suspects her heart donor is Daphne Thorne, the wife of local celebrity author Morgan Thorne, who she begins messaging via an anonymous service called DonorConnect, ostensibly to learn more about Daphne. But Rosie has a secret: She’s convinced that now that she has his wife’s heart, she and Morgan are meant to be together.
As she and Morgan correspond, the pretense of avoiding personal details soon disappears, even if Rosie’s keeping some cards close to her chest. But as she digs deeper into Morgan’s previous marriage, she discovers disturbing rumors about the man she’s falling for. Could Morgan have had something to do with his late wife’s death? And can Rosie’s heart sustain another break—or is she next?
MY REVIEW
Rosie wants to find love, and thinks she may have found the right man. Rosie is a heart transplant patient, and starts emailing Morgan, the husband of the woman whose heart she received. She believes Morgan is the one for her, but she starts to hear some disturbing rumors as she learns more about him.
Cross My Heart is told primarily from Rosie’s point of view, but also includes email exchanges, phone messages, and book excerpts. Rosie is an intriguing, though sometimes frustrating character. Her “Rosie-colored glasses” viewpoint is somewhat unreliable. She is a romantic and has a positive outlook toward everything.
Cross My Heart is a well-crafted and suspenseful psychological thriller.
I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
