Review – Jaded Hearts by Harper Sloan – Bookalicious Babes Blog

Jaded heart how you will see. Once the fog rolls away, it was all just a fantasy. This heart jaded, never had to be. ~Jamie Ellen Christian

The best love is often the one that is unexpected, a firestorm of feels you never saw coming but one that steals your heart…your body…your soul. Books are like love; we get lost in them. We feel them. We live in them. Harper Sloan threw a curveball my way in a love story that rocked my world, one I did not see coming, but one where I INSTANTLY FELL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE. Jaded Hearts stole my heart in a romantic rocker story full of smolder, swoon, and soul!

I plunged myself into Jaded Hearts with an itch that only a rock star story could scratch. This book buzzed with excitement, Jaded Hearts an enticing and edgy tale that I devoured with the hunger of a groupie at a concert. Pulse pounding like a drum. Body buzzing like a guitar. Emotions flowing like a moving melody. Soul singing to the music of this masterpiece.

Jaded Hearts buzzed with brilliance and hummed with heart. The words seduced me, lyrics of love that danced on my heart and sent my soul soaring to heaven, as I felt the music and magic of Jaded Hearts move through every part of me. I WAS ALL IN AND I WANTED TO STAY.

Wrenlee Davenport, the beautiful singer of Loaded Replay, is jaded. The fiery redhead with piercing blue eyes is done with people using her, those who only see the voice and not the person.

No man has been worthy of a piece of Wren’s heart…no man until tall and muscular, dark-haired, blue-green-eyed, all-alpha god, Chance Nash, stormed into her life as her security guard. What Wren may need guarding the most is her heart as it beat for Chance from the start, an attraction beyond physical desire.

“You don’t want to go down that road, Wren. I’ll protect you from the world, but you need to protect yourself from me.”

Despite the intense attraction to the beautiful singing goddess Chance was hired to protect, he must keep his head in the game and fight the force of combustible chemistry that ignites like fire between them. Wren wants Chance, the first man who sees Wren along with Wrenlee.

“Oh, Chance, you won’t win. You might think you will, but mark my words, I will have you, and you’re going to love it. Every. Single. Second.”

Oh now I wanted to be besties with Wren, one of the most badass heroines I could not help but love! This bold woman with brass balls is simply brilliant! Wren is determined to have this man who is slowly picking up the pieces of her jaded heart and making it whole.

“His mouth opens, and his tongue meets mine, no hesitation whatsoever, as he deepens the kiss.”

That kiss is the turning point. That passion permeates through them…through me…one so physically strong and heartfelt that it can’t be denied. Wren finally sees a man who wants her for Wren, the woman, not Wrenlee the singer…and she needs to convince Chance to take a chance on her…on love…and cure each other’s jaded hearts.

“Both of us wear the jaded scars of our past.”

Chance’s resolve is crumbling, Wren is breaking down his walls. Chance is woven in Wren’s web, and there is no going back. Oh did this book burn with passion and bleed with angst!

“The second I feel your body ripple against my c**k, you will be mine, Wrenlee…If we’re taking a gamble together, it’s all in, or we fold before the call.”

I. WAS. ON. FIRE and Chance was the heat!!! Oh did Chance, this amazing all-alpha, melt me from head to toe. The heat set me ablaze, as I burned along with this sweet, sensual and seductive story.

“You’re going to destroy me.”

“We’re going to destroy each other and then put the pieces back together, so there aren’t any more cracks.”

Wren knows what…who…she wants and that’s Chance. Her jaded heart is ready to become whole. Wren is ready to take a chance on Chance and not let the one man who sees the woman and not just the rock star go.

“You’re going to be my undoing, Wren.”

I fell fast and hard for all-alpha, Chance, and beautiful and badass, Wren. I fell fast and hard for the secondary characters, the bandmates that included Wren’s brother and childhood friends. I fell fast and hard for Jaded Hearts, a fairy tale of a rocker romance where Cinderella grabs her Prince, and they rescue each other. I fell fast for Harper Sloan’s wondrous words as this author’s books only get better and better. I FELL FAST AND HARD…JADED HEARTS AND ALL!

Jaded Hearts is one enticing, edgy, emotionally-entwined tale of unexpected love. Oh did I LOVE EVERY MINUTE! Harper Sloan thrust me into the thrilling music scene, painting a vivid picture where I went on a virtual tour with the band, feeling the rush in a music world that became my world too. Jaded Hearts was PURE MAGIC—penned and painted to perfection—in a movie that played in my head while reading.

I smoldered. I sweated. I swooned. I felt this love story too. Jaded Hearts melted my heart with magic in a book that is UTTER BRILLIANCE. The perfect fusion of heat and heart in a hit of a rocker romance, Jaded Hearts ROCKED MY WORLD. My heart is now a bit jaded in that I have to say goodbye to this spellbinding rock star romance.

Signing with Brighthouse Records was supposed to be everything we ever wanted—our better life. Our chance at everything we never had but always wanted. All our dreams would finally come true and we were on top of the world. It was our chance at the happiness we never had in life.

Our every desire was at our fingertips and the power of that feeling was all consuming. But then it took every dream we thought would come true and it slapped us in the face with the cold hard reality.

Dreams were just that…something that floated on the cusp of untouchable, taunting you with every graze of your fingertips before slipping even further away.

Happiness…that feeling is a joke.

In the end it became painfully obvious that each of us would always have each other, but we would forever be alone.
