Synopsis for Unforeseen Heartbeat:
Used… Broken… Confused…
It only took one drunken mistake four years ago for Maddie
Harrington to learn that when you fully give yourself over to a man, you should
never expect anything in return. Since that night, her views on love have
become distorted, believing men would only want her for the pleasure her body
could bring them. She in turn finds herself hooking up with random guys but
never keeps them around long enough to see if there could possibly be something
more.
That is…until Hunter Bryant enters the picture.
When the handsome pre-med student shows up in the right
place at the right time, captivating her with his stormy gaze, she immediately
pushes him away, thinking he’s no different than any other guy. The deeper
Hunter delves into her life, trying to break through her iron-clad walls, the
more she begins to question whether she is truly capable of opening her heart
up to another man.
Maddie soon finds herself forced to make a difficult
decision, one that will forever change both of their lives. Will she shut
Hunter out of her life for good, or will she finally open up her heart and
allow herself the life she never dreamed she deserved?

My Review: 5 stars
Once again Maureen has just brought so much to this book. Suggestion - If you have not read Relinquishing Liberty, read that book first. Things just make more sense that way. I loved that Maddie found someone who treated her with respect, and thought of her before himself. Enough so that Maddie started seeing herself in a new way, letting go of the past and focusing on the future that she thinks may be possible. Hunter brings out the best in Maddie, and is such a good guy. He's sweet, caring, thoughtful and wants Maddie to be safe. He teaches her a lot of things, but I think the most important is that she is worthwhile and worth love.
So color me surprised when he did what he did without letting Maddie have a say or choice in the matter. I wanted to slap him upside his pretty little head - hard. I felt so bad for Maddie, but he made his choice, and she wasn't going to try and change his mind after everything he said to her. I didn't blame her one bit. She went ahead with her plans. When Hunter did come back to Maddie because of something else that happened, I would have been so much meaner than she was. I guess that makes me not a nice person, whatever. I also would have made him work a lot harder than she did, before letting him back in. But I respect her choice.
I really loved the end of the book with everything happening for Shayne and Liberty as well as Hunter and Maddie. I think that Brett needs his own book. I also think that maybe he wasn't so much upset about what was going on with Shayne and Liberty, but felt left out and alone. Not a good place to be.
Maureen always finds a way to connect me with the characters and this book was no exception. I connected with Maddie on so many different levels, I laughed and cried right along with her. I felt the pain and the loss of someone, and I felt how afraid she was because of all the other things that were happening. The story line was fast moving, with action and romance, a little bit of drama, and some suspense thrown in there too. I love Maureen's writing, and will continue to be a fan for as long as she writes. She's drawn me in, and I just can't get enough. I can't wait to read the next book, Shayne's Story.
