This was an interesting book in that it is a romance about a couple who each had organs transplanted. It adds some difficulties to their romance that a reader doesn't often see occur. Alexia was fifteen when she had her failing heart transplanted. Phillip was a little older when he lost his liver and his brother.
Otherwise, it's a fairly predictable college romance with the evil girl trying to steal away the guy and the friendly roommate for the girl. It's probably perfect for younger readers show more in their teens.
I did find the writing style somewhat stilted. Teenagers today use contractions when they speak, not everything is I will and I could not. And the book itself was very repetitious. It was told in alternating POVs, but by about a third of the way through I found I could just skip Phillip's chapters because most of it had been covered in Alexia's chapter before. show less

I'd give this book 3 1/2 stars. This is a quick read and a sequel to Last Heartbeat. Kristen has found her own happiness with Jacob, but wants to give the gift of a baby to her friends Alexia and Phillip (from the Last Heartbeat). This is an interesting story of surrogacy and motherhood.
I found the writing good but stilted during dialogue. The story is written in first person Kristen's POV which was fine, but it was kind of hurried through. And while I didn't mind at all that the sex was not show more graphic, I was kind of turned off by the 'wink, wink' innuendo. Still it was an interesting story. show less

This is the third book in the Last Heartbeat series. I would give it 3.5 stars. It's a sweet romance about a girl Elizabeth who had cancer as a teen, though it's gone into remission after a bone marrow transplant. Because of her illness her relationships with two guys, one high school, the other college, don't pan out. She finally meets her soulmate, Tyler, when she becomes a pre-school teacher for his friend's child.
The writing is somewhat stilted and repetitive. Because the proposal scene show more is also the prologue as a flashback, the story is not a surprise. But the parts dealing with the sickness and transplant are interesting.
I was given this book by the author for an honest review. show less
