His Heart: A Stand-Alone Romance Kindle Edition

by Claire Kingsley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,750 ratings
Her greatest tragedy is his second chance at life.

For Sebastian McKinney, wrestling is life. He’s focused and determined. Strong and capable. Nothing, not even his biggest rival, will stand in his way.

Except a silent illness that almost kills him.

Brooke Summerlin is no stranger to adversity. Raised by an abusive mother, she’s learned to cope as best she can. When Liam sweeps into her life, she believes she’s found the impossible—a happily ever after.

Until her happy ending is ripped away. And Brooke’s greatest tragedy becomes Sebastian’s second chance at life.

Four years later, two souls linked by loss find each other. Although their connection is undeniable, Brooke sinks in grief that threatens to drown her. Sebastian is desperate to help—desperate to save her—even though he has his own uncertainties to face.

But sometimes love transcends the boundaries between life and death—between what is known and what cannot be explained. The heart that loved Brooke still beats for her. And the one thing that might save them both is love.

Author’s note: An intense stand-alone contemporary romance that explores the transcendent, healing power of love. You’ll need a few tissues (and maybe some chocolate), but trust me, their beautiful happily ever after is worth it.

    This is definitely a tear-jerker! Being a re-read, even though I knew what to expect, it still did not stop the onslaught of emotions I felt. I have always loved Sebastian and Brooke's story. My heart absolutely breaks for both of them, and it was bittersweet yet beautiful how they fell in love with one another after experiencing so much heartbreak. This will forever be one of my favourite romance books.

    So many feelings for days after this book. Claire Kingsley completely hit the mark with these 2 characters and the emotional turmoil that is created from their lives yet manages to create a truly beautiful story. Be warned the tissues need to be close but you can't put this book down.

    Most readers know Claire Kingsley for her fabulous small town romances with heat and heart and hilarity ... well His HEart is a lot different from that, but it is no less amazing. Brooke and Sebastian - our two main characters - don't meet until tragedy has befallen them both and a special connection links them. This is a story with a twist that you will see coming but that you won't be able to pull yourself away from. Yes it's sad, yes it's heartbreaking and yes it's worth it!!

    Brooke hat keine Freunde, weil sie nie lange genug an einem Ort war, um Freundschaften zu schließen. Ihre drogensüchtige Mutter hat viele Male den Wohnort gewechselt, was auch zahlreiche Schulwechsel für Brooke nötig machte. An ihrem neuen Wohnort kommt sie mit Liam in Kontakt. Liam ist Schüler an ihrer Schule und außerdem ihr Nachbar. Brooke verbringt immer mehr Zeit mit Liam und die beiden werden ein Paar.
    Sebastian ist ein erfolgreicher Sportler bis er bei einem Wettkampf zusammenbricht und die Diagnose Herzmuskelentzündung bekommt. Danach ist sein Leben nicht mehr wie vorher. Die Behandlung verbessert seinen Zustand nicht und nach einem langen Auf und Ab und seinem körperlichen Verfall ist eine Herztransplantation seine einzige Überlebenschance…

    Das in weiten Teilen traurige Buch ist nichts für depressive Leser/innen. Sebastians Krankheit wird sehr eindringlich beschrieben und auch Brookes Verluste lassen den/die Leser/in nicht unberührt. Wie beide Personen zusammenfinden ist fantastisch erzählt. Eins der besten Bücher, die ich je gelesen habe. Ein sehr ausdruckstarkes Buch, das abseits der traurigen Seiten aufzeigt, das Hoffnung möglich ist, wenn man sie zulässt.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I had to put this book down and go in the other room to cry!
    Reviewed in the United States on 7 September 2020

    It is a gift to bring a reader through a roller coaster of emotions so tough that I had to stop reading, but make me want to know what brings these people back...and cry through the ones who don’t make it. I was a 29 year old widow when his unexpected death turned my world upside down. So this book was the last book she has written so far, that I had not yet read. I was not sure how I would handle it.

    Claire Kingsley is an expert at running us through the emotional ringer and still delivering our happy endings. So I knew I could find happiness at the end, much like I have in my own life, but this book made me cry with revisited sadness multiple times. It was worth the ride, as bumpy as the road was.

    This book has all the family members go through all the painful hoops, and also made me remember trying to convince siblings that yes, I was ok. I remember my own whiskey binges, my own guilt, and my own recovery so vividly. I wondered if Claire had been watching me.

    I also remember my thoughts of “didnt I already have my true love? Who is this guy?” And like our heroine, I remember the guilt of thinking how audacious I was to think I deserved another great love. I also remember my future mother in law giving my new love’s ex girlfriend our phone number.

    But by 2/3rds of the way through this book, while our hero and heroine struggle through these periods of recovery and redemption, I also remembered my own journey.

    HEA, they do come in Claire’s books, and lucky for me, in real life too! Enjoy the good cry, and the bumpy ride. It was worth it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A heart-wrenching story of a heart which loved Brooke.
    Reviewed in India on 17 July 2021

    Liam was an angel for Brooke. Brooke loved him not only because he saved her from her mom or took her for the dance but also because he made her feel safe.
    “The relief that washed through me was so strong it warmed me from the inside, burning away my fear and shame. With Liam, I was safe. With Liam, I was home.”
    Until, she has to face the greatest tragedy of her life. Her life fell apart after that accident. She lost herself in the pain and hurt; she almost destroyed her life to numb the hollow in her heart.
    At the age of eighteen, Sebastian defeated his biggest rival, but that very fight was the last fight in his wrestling career. From that point, he had to fight to stay alive. At one point, he had lost the faith in himself and his life. But it was not his time yet. A ray of hope shinned brightly giving him the second chance at his life. He recovered with a new heart, but the heart which gave him life also brought love in his life. Not immediately, but soon he met the love of his life.
    One look at a girl across the street and his heart starts beating again as if it has found its purpose of living.
    “And I knew, with every ounce of my being, that she was Brooke.”
    Brooke was too broken and self-destructive to live her life on the right path. Sebastian saw right through it and was willing to do anything to help her. He helped her to start fresh but the path was not easy. She was trying to fix her life but the pain was unbearable and the pull of his heart was undeniable.
    This book takes you on an emotional turmoil. It shows you the unconditional love of Liam and Brooke, the heart-wrenching pain of Brooke, the defeat of Sebastian’s will to live; also the second chance he got at his life. This is the story of a heart shared by two and loved by one. His heart loved her enough to find her again. It’s a beautiful story by Claire Kingsley. I have also mentioned this in my previous reviews that I like her writing because somewhere we can relate to it, it is realistic. The self-destructive pain of Brooke, her depression is quite normal thing faced by most of the people after losing the loved ones. Sebastian’s silent support and love made Brooke strong to feel love again.
    I loved the friendship between Charlie and Sebastian. Even the worst times can bring good in your life; Charlie’s friendship was the good thing that came with Sebastian’s illness. Their friendship is truly amazing. And also Olivia and Brooke’s friendship is precious.
    I will recommend this book to all the people who believe in love and also to those who follow their heart. It’s an amazing book for all the romantic souls out there.

    I was apprehensive when I read the blurb of this book... I’m very much a happy happy everything’s great, they fall in love, have a row, the grand gesture brings them back together and they live happily ever after- just something light and easy to escape for a couple hours... but this... is is trauma. But it’s trauma with love, it’s passionate, it’s real, it’s the nitty gritty of life that’s suffered loss and abuse and devastation, it’s a story that you have to follow to the end because you need to know that even after all that sadness, there is always happiness, you just have to find it. Beautifully written book. Xxx
