Synopsis

When my husband Oliver died, my life ended. My purpose, my passion, my everything bled out with him on the side of the Pacific Coast Highway.

Ollie was an organ donor. His eyes, his brain, his lungs, his heart…parts of my Ollie went out and saved lives.

Then his heart, beating in another man’s chest, found its way back to me, and I found myself faced with an impossible choice: hold on to the pain and beauty of the past and the memory of the man I loved, or reach for a bold new future, knowing each heartbeat will be a reminder of all I’ve lost.

* * *

I wasn’t supposed to live past thirty.

My grandfather died at forty-five. Heart failure.

My father died at thirty-eight. Heart failure.

The doctors told me my whole life that I wouldn’t see my thirty-first birthday. My heart was going to give out. It was just a matter of time: a rare blood type and an unusually large heart meant essentially zero chance of a transplant.

I proved them all wrong…by dying on my thirty-first birthday.

And then I woke up, alive, with another man’s heart inside my chest, and his widow on my conscience.

I spent my whole life preparing for death, and now I have to learn how to live. Only, as I soon discovered, living is the easy part.

Loving, and allowing myself to be loved…well, that’s a whole lot harder.
This is a standalone second chance romance like you’ve never read before.

Michel’s Review

We’ve all seen movies and read books where the heart plant patient finds the donor’s loved one and realizes their new heart still belongs to them. These gut wrenching stories never fail to have me in tears and emotionally wrapped up in the characters lives. It’s the same story told by different storytellers that always touches a piece of my heart. Jasinda Wilder put her own spin on the story. She gave here characters more than a second chance at life, love, and happiness. She made them earn their happiness. She took them both on a journey long after their hearts began beating once again. It wasn’t the physical rhythms that enabled their hearts but rather the metaphysical beats that defined their souls. This book was not an instal-love or my heart only belongs to you sort of story. It’s a story of two people brought together because of one heart and staying together because of two hearts. It’s the true gift of giving your heart and soul to another and trusting them to cherish it.

Lachlan Montgomery had only one goal in life. His goal was to make it to his thirty first birthday. He lived his life waiting to die. Rather than making the most of his short life, a life that would leave his legacy behind, he chose to live life on the edge, flirting with death daily. He selfishly abused each moment he was gifted. He carelessly philandered his precious moments with booze, women, and adrenaline highs. Why not… he was never meant to live after thirty. He was supposed to die. He did die. A miracle happened that changed everything he’s ever known, hoped for, or desired. Now he’s hopelessly lost. He doesn’t know who Lock Montgomery is or who he should be. His new life leads him on a journey to find out about the heart that beats within his chest. He never imagined that journey would lead him to finding his true heart, the one that was always hidden by the defective one that beat in his chest.

Niall James died the same day her husband died in the horrible car accident. Her body was still alive but her soul was dead. She’s existing but not living until she meets Lock Montgomery. Something about the man calls to the soul she thought died. When she’s finally coming to life she finds out Lock’s horrible secret. He has her husband’s heart. The heart that chose her. Can she accept Lock for the man he is or is she just trying to hang on to her dead husband?

Lock’s secret is the easy part for both of them. Learning to live is the most difficult journey they both will take. It will take soul searching, trials and tribulations, self truths, and sheer determination to find what really makes their hearts tick.

Jasinda Wilder added so many layers to this story. She took her characters on a journey of self discovery. She gave them each their own crosses to bear and their own moments of truth. What made this story stand out besides the romantic side was the journey they traveled. They had to earn their gift of living full, complete lives.

Read Yours by Jasinda Wilder!
