Heart Thief by Taylor Dean

Synopsis:

I was warned about him. I should've listened. But I didn't.

Of course, I also thought Ryker Martel was about to propose.

He didn't.

I was ready to say yes.

He was ready to wait a little longer.

Now he's out of the country on an extended business trip and I'm staying in his penthouse apartment with seeds of disillusionment taking over my soul.

Ryker reminded me that his estranged brother might show up out of the blue at his penthouse. He told me to let him know right away if he did. He'd take care of it.

His brother is bad news. The rebel, the black sheep of the family.

"Don't trust him," Ryker said. "Stay as far away from him as possible. He's a thief, a snake."

Warning duly noted.

And ignored.

I considered myself equipped to handle whatever was thrown my way. I was wrong.

Nothing prepared me for Zane and the havoc he would wreak in my life--and in my heart. He turned me upside down and knocked me sideways.

Falling for the other brother is never a good idea. Keeping it a secret, even worse.

Especially when he proves to be the thief he was purported to be.

My heart will never be mine again and I want it back.

But it has been stolen and I'll never be the same.

Never.

My Review: 5+ Stars

You guys! Can I just tell you how much I loved this book?! Once I started it, I had the hardest time putting it down. I kept telling myself: "Just one more chapter. Just one more chapter". Well, that "one more chapter" turned into me staying up way past my bedtime and finishing the book. I just had to see what happened next! Haha.

I absolutely adored Mila and Zane! I found myself rooting for them from the moment they laid eyes on each other. I really enjoyed watching their relationship develop and found myself letting out little dreamy sighs throughout the book. The feels were most definitely real my friends!

I just have to say that Heart Thief is one of the best books I have read all year. There are some sensitive topics that are discussed in the book, but Ms. Dean does an exceptional job handling them. It's one of the many reasons I love her books. She's not afraid to tackle those difficult topics and does it in a way that keeps the reader engaged and helps them to gain a better understanding of said topics.

I suffer from depression myself and let me tell you... it sucks! There are days where I have to force myself out of bed. I know that if I give in just a little bit, I'm going to have an even harder time pulling myself out. When it comes to my depression, one of my saving graces has been reading. I don't want to even imagine where I would be right now had I not discovered my love for books.

Y'all I highly recommend that you grab this book! It's amazing! I already want to read it again. Hehe. I can't wait to see what Ms. Dean has in store for us next!

And can we take a minute to just admire these two?! I absolutely LOVE them! What do you think?!
