What can I say? Claire has done it again! Every time I read a book by her I can't stop and get in this major book hangover afterwards. You get it all in this book romance, comedy, some drama and the sexual tension was off the damn charts!!! I had to fan myself and put my iPad down while reading this book. I always had a soft spot for Oliver (Kaleidoscope Hearts) but Victor is my new favorite. Anybody who has read the other books in this series will not be disappointed in this one! #Vicole4Life!!

This was a muddled 2nd chance romance. Into each other, she's forever goading him, he's wary because of his career. With good reason as he could get struck off. But the rest, the too'ing and fro'ing, the other guys, the games. It was all just boring.
Oh yes and what does 'I was always crept out by him' mean? I'm assuming in this context she meant 'creeped' out by him. Must have been a spell check thing but seriously, I get hung up on such details.

Claire, you have done it again! I have read all the books in the Hearts series and I have to say Victor and Nicole are by far the best couple! This was a fantastic end to the series!
Victor Reuben was the ideal bachelor. He is great looking, has a great job as a lawyer, and everything he could want. Victor is determined to stay away from love and marriage. Little does he know he’s about to get his second chance at love, but just how far is he willing to go to get it?
Now, Nicole Alessi is soon to be divorced from one of Hollywood’s elite. Her dad is Victor’s boss and he has decided that Victor is the one going to make the divorce happen and end up partner at the firm once this case is over. Problem is can they stay away from each other when they both still so desperately want each other?
Nicole and Victor had a fling five years before her divorce. Victor called it quits after discovering she was the boss’s daughter. They both understood no string attached and Nicole walked out of that relationship and right into her marriage not long after. I love that Nicole owns that she walked away and that their “relationship” wasn’t really a relationship after all. Victor seems to have never gotten over the fact that she left and got married. He’s the one who ended their fling but yet is the one who is the most hurt over it.
Once Victor is back in Nicole’s life, she knew exactly what she wanted from him and made it known. I loved Nicole! Truly a woman who speaks her mind and is strong despite what she’s going through with her soon to be ex-husband. At first you feel like Victor is a hard-ass but once the story gets going, you find that he is truly a romantic (and a bit of a dirty talker!). Soon they both realize there is no denying their chemistry and end up sneaking around. There are quite a few twist and turns and a few moments where you just felt like their relationship might not make it. However, the relationship between Victor and Nicole is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed their banter and you could just feel their chemistry jumping right off the pages!
The Hearts series was all I could hope for. Oliver and Estelle, Mia and Jensen and Victor and Nicole were all amazing. I highly recommend reading the entire series. Twists and turns, swoon worthy moments, hot sex, lots of tears and a beautiful happily ever after! You couldn’t ask for anything more! Outstanding Claire!

Resumiendo,Corazones que vuelven a latir es una conclusión de trilogía un poco floja pero que igualmente disfruté. Unos protagonistas reales que cometen errores y muy intensos. Unos secundarios entrañables junto a una perspectiva adecuada. Un ritmo bueno a pesar de algunas escenas algo más lentas. Una prosa por parte de la autora llena de emoción y un romance que llega al corazón.

I enjoy this whole series but the audios were not good, I didn't like the voices of the people but I bought them so I listened to them.

Tension. Sex. Forbidden romance. Second chances. Mix all of that up and what do you have? The recipe for a perfect book! Well, in my opinion. I hardly ever have a complaint about Claire’s writing or her story lines and I loved the other two books in this standalone series tremendously. But, I did end up rating this book only 3 stars...
Here’s why: I think these characters have been drawn out long enough. I respect the fact that Claire wanted to finish out the series with the last set of characters but this book was almost strenuous to me; forced. Like she had to just find things for Oliver and Jensen and Mia to do. Just sticking them here and there and then POOF! Gone. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, and I have seen it happen with other books as well. I just think it’s best to let it all rest. I was happy this would be the last book.
Also: grammatical errors. I highlighted a bunch. But I can deal. It wasn’t a make or break for me
This book was the LESS angstiest of the series but Claire’s sexual tension and NON insta-love type of romance was well worth the read to me. The way she built Victor and Nicole up was well worth the thrill and the ride. I would catch myself holding my breath, just waiting for a piece, and then loooong exhale. But then when you get what you are looking for, your heart smiles. And you have a cheesy grin on your face.
Once again I scored with the secondary characters. I loved them. From the driver to Quinn to Talon (that’s right). I can’t stress enough how enjoyable these type of characters are for me so I was beyond thankful for the time put into them.
There was no real conflict. I mean there was but it was more so just a forbidden thing. I wont delve into details (in fear of spoiling) but there was not a true climatic part. Maybe a couple of GASPS here and there and some AWWS thrown in but that is about it.
All in all, it was an enjoyable read. Victor was hot. I am talking SPICY hot. Nicole was tolerable. She didn’t drive me to the brink of insanity (that’s always a plus). The story line was superb. I didn’t skim. I am just glad it’s over with. I look forward to reading what Claire can whip out next and move on to.
