a review of Glass Hearts by Carolinasongbird
Ember and Ring meet at a club, never expecting to run into each other again. Ember Verre is finally about to realize her dreams. She’s about to go to Paris to study cooking at Le Cordon Bleu, with a full scholarship. But, life blows up right before she is set to leave and her family is in a terrible accident. She stays back to take care of them. Ring Jordan has great parents, amazing friends and is about to complete his MBA when his father dies unexpectedly and he has to drop everything to be there for his mother and take care of the family business. As Ember struggles to take care of her family, the last thing she expects is to run into Ring again. But, in each other, they found someone to lean on as they try to put their lives back together.
Honestly, I am not sure why but I couldn’t connect with this story as well as I did Renee Lovins’ other book. I really don’t know why. The story had so much potential and the characters were incredibly well written. Lovins has a real talent as far as characters. My heart broke for both Ring and Ember, as well as their families, several times. I wish I understood why I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I expected
