Long Live the Beautiful Hearts
By Emma Scott
Never again would I allow my heart to become the plaything of someone else.
Never again would I let a man (or men) come between me and my goals.
Never again would I love without feeling the fullness of that love in return.
Not until I knew it was real. And if that took me a lifetime to find, so be it.
Those were my vows, and after all that had happened with Connor and Weston, I was determined to keep them. To protect my heart.
And then he came home, and my vows became his promises.
He held my heart in his hands with reverence and care.
He helped me find my soul’s greatest purpose in life.
He loved me with a love so pure and vibrant, I knew I’d never feel anything like it in a hundred lifetimes.
It was real.
Until it wasn’t.
Until it all came crashing down when I discovered the deep love I thought I’d found was nestled in a web of lies—so soft and silken I hadn’t noticed it was there.
Until it was too late.

BOOK REVIEW
5/5
I finally had my hands on the last book of this duet. It was excruciating to wait, especially on how the first book ended. It started where it left off, still on the edge of my seat, waiting for news on how Connor and Weston are. Are they okay? Will the both of them survive?
I can't say I like the two men here for some time. One was an a** after the incident. Although he has his own demons to fight, and his guilt is eating him alive. It didn't help that Connor's parents didn't really acknowledge that he was beyond wrecked and needed help more than his trust fund.
Stay with him. And keep holding his hand, Autumn. No matter what happens. Don't let go of him.
Weston didn't wake up immediately after the accident. His injuries were a bit serious, and it was a miracle he was alive. But the extent of the damage was terrible, and when he woke up, even with Autumn on his side he was just miserable. Connor is no where to be found, and when he finally showed up, he wasn't the same. He wasn't interested in talking to him or being his friend. He told him to tell Autumn the truth. Nevertheless, the lies had been intricate and too complicated for him to unravel the truth. So he stick to it, and drove Autumn away.
You have them, Wes. You can tell her the truth so she'll understand. Tell her you love her. Take a f****ng chance at being happy for once in your life.
Autumn was done with both men. One broke up with her, the other one pushed her away. She had enough. She decided she will concentrate on working for her application in Harvard. But things aren't always as what we planned. Both boys are back in school, the place is too small for the three of them. But then her friendship with Weston came back, so is the attraction. Despite everything that happened to them, and Weston's present - the attraction remains. What happens when she discovers the lie then? Will they have a future?
The characters might be on your bad side at times, but they have their good sides. Connor redeemed himself in the end. His story was a surprise, but I saw that one coming. I was just glad he found help before he totally self-destruct. Weston is a strong character. He went through the grief stages after what happened to him - but when he finally accepted his fate, and realized Autumn will always be there, he started to accept his limitations and make the most out of it. And Autumn, she finally found her niche, a project to work on to get to Harvard. She's amazingly resilient, and strong and determined.
This book talked about struggles and hardships of the men who worked for freedom. The soldiers who are often forgotten for their service to the countries. Most of them do not come home the same, some of them in boxes, some in grave injuries, and other might look well, but deep inside their a complete mess. It's amazing how Emma talked about these issues, and how her characters dealt with it. There was no miracles, but plain reality and possibilities.
I am totally in love with this duet. It was worth the read. I love the words: the poetry, the dialogues and everything it between. It will just give you the feels. It's a story of hope, forgiveness, resilience and love. A must-read!
I have loved you with both
hands tied behind my back
bound with pen and ink
paper and words
sealed with someone else's name
until this moment
in which I am nothing
but a man
who loves a woman.
There is nothing left to say
except to give
all of my heart for you.
I fell for Connor Drake. I didn’t want to; I fought against it, but I fell in love with him anyway. With his words. With his poetry. With him. The gentleness and beauty of his soul that speaks directly to mine. He writes as if he can feel my heart, hear its cadence and compose the exact right lyrics to accompany every beat and flow.
I’m in love with Connor…so why do I feel an inexplicable pull to his best friend, Weston? Grouchy, sullen, brooding Weston Turner, who could cut you down with a look. Fiercely intelligent with a razor sharp wit and acid tongue, he’s the exact opposite of Connor in every way, and yet there’s electricity in the air between us. The thorny barbs Weston wraps around himself can’t keep me away.
But the more time I spend with these men, the more tangled and confused my emotions become. When they both sign up for the Army Reserves during a time of increasing strife in the Middle East, I fear I’ll never unravel my own heart that sometimes feels as if it will tear straight down the middle…for both of them.
