Naked Hearts by Valentina

5.0

This is a deeply emotional, deeply passionate, and beautiful love story. Arabel and Lorenzo have both dealt with deep tragedy, which has left them scarred and hesitant to open themselves up to love again. But a spark is ignited between them when they briefly meet on New Years Eve, which is quickly doused by an unexpected moment of panic triggered in Anabel that separates them without even knowing the other’s name.

But fate intervenes, thrusting them together, interested in the same property to purchase, which then puts them at odds, despite the intense chemistry popping between them. Every time they seem to be making progress toward each other, something happens leaving one of them retreating, but all the while, both are pining for each other in silence. They have to learn to not only trust each other, but trust themselves to move past their trauma, knowing that they can hold each other up. Emotions are high, the steam is even higher, and the HEA is oh so satisfying.
