My Heart Still Beats

Tempt, Book 1

By: Helen Hardt

Narrated by: Alastair Haynesbridge, Carolyn Eve

Some days I can almost see the person I used to be. See the version of myself that felt joy, even passion. But she's gone . . . just out of reach.

Life moves on for everyone else, though, and as my best friend's maid-of-honor, I have a bachelorette party to plan—in Jamaica, no less. And that means working side by side with the best man: Benjamin Black.

Billionaire. Workaholic. Ultimate bachelor. The perfect catch for any woman—unless she's lost her sense of self.

Apparently my body hasn't gotten the memo. Because from the second we meet, something begins stirring, warming my blood. And when our hands touch, it's a heady reminder that even if I feel numb, my heart still beats.

He's nothing like I thought. Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice.

But I should be afraid—and so should he. Because the past never lets go so easily.

Contains mature themes.

Loved this book!

This book had a different story line than most romance books so it kept me guessing and listening. I highly recommend it.

Spectacular

I rarely post a review but this one made me, I have now "read" (in Audible) 59 of Helen's books (30 were the whole Steel Brothers sags). I am an addict for her books. This one just grabbed my heart. Highly recommend. Can't wait to see what book 2 brings. And now I need to pick up the 5 part Follow Me series which has Braeden and Skye's story. (Benjamin's brother whose story came first.

A Heavy Read

I’m a huge fan of this author as many of her stories have mystery, thrills & adventure
This one focused on the Females trauma of her last relationship pretty much through the entire book
There wasn’t a moment I was rooting for the main characters relationship because he had to tiptoe around her trauma through out 90% of the story
There was very little romance or spice because she was so very fragile from her past trauma
I enjoy reading for an escape from reality with hopes of a story with happiness, romance, spice, thrilling, mystery or adventure but it was just heavy sadness
