Blurb
Robin, the recipient of a brand-new heart, knows he can’t give it to just anyone….
Robin’s been through his share of upsets recently, from heart transplant surgery to a brutal breakup. But his experiences have taught him life is short, and he’s ready to seize the day and start anew. A job at Euro Pride Tours is just the kind of adventure he’s looking for. He gets to see the world and live a little, but love isn’t on his radar screen. He isn’t sure his heart can endure that again.
Johan might’ve disappointed his family by striking out on his own, but when he meets Robin, he has no intention of letting him down. Each man is just what the other needs to feel whole again, and while Johan might not be the man Robin originally thought he was, he’s exactly what the doctor ordered to make Robin’s borrowed heart beat faster. As the tour through Germany progresses, they grow closer, but when Robin’s ex joins the tour, he could bring their blossoming love to a dramatic halt.
Review
My Rating - 3.5 Stars!
I'm a little conflicted with Borrowed Heart. Andrew Grey created a wonderful premise with this story of love and second chances, but it didn't necessarily grip me. I think it was my mood at the time though, although I can't say for sure. Some of the details just fell short for me.
But Robin's story is a worthwhile one that's both heart-breaking and beautiful. Being the recipient of a heart transplant, he knows his life is most likely limited. He fears letting someone in enough to love him, as he struggles with knowing they'll suffer when he dies. In Johan, however, he finds someone who wants to take that chance, if he can just convince Robin to do so.
Their romance is one of taking chances, and taking advantage of what time we have in this world. It's about not taking time for granted and spending our time doing what we want, with those who we love.
Robin definitely is a remarkable man. I definitely shed some tears for the man, both his past and his current predicament. And I adore the way Johan feels for him, and all he can bring into Robin's life.
The tour part is interesting, although the troubles with the creepy ex just didn't do it for me. It seemed forced at times.
Despite not loving Borrowed Heart, I am still glad to have read it. The love story is just remarkable and extremely touching.
