About the book

ROMANCE FINALIST IN THE 2022 AUDIE AWARDS!!

I had my future all planned out.
A fairytale.

Then, on my five-year wedding anniversary, my dreams shatter. My husband is cruelly ripped away from me, leaving my broken heart behind.

But he leaves another heart behind, too…

His.

Drowning in grief, I reach out to his heart recipient, while seeking solace in a support group for fellow lost souls. Determined to find the bright, optimistic woman I used to be, I never expect what awaits me there.

Enter Parker.

Dark, brooding, emotionally detached. He’s the opposite of me in every way, yet I’m inexplicably drawn to him. As our bond deepens, so do the secrets that come to light, challenging everything I thought I knew about love and loss, and blurring the line between heartache and hope.

In a world where hearts break, I lost mine once.
Now, another heart holds the power to heal me…or destroy me.

WARNING: This book contains heavy themes, such as loss of a loved one and suicide. Please read responsibly.

REVIEWS ☆☆☆☆☆

"Mind-blowing. Body-heating. Heart-stealing. He's a tortured hero, and she's a beautiful broken melody, colliding together in death and resurrecting from places within, where 'the beats are loud and songful.' All the damn stars!" ~ Pam Godwin, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestselling Author

"They say there is no reward without pain, and that’s how we’d describe The Wrong Heart. This author shredded our hearts to pieces, then stitched them back together with love, sincerity, and a whole lot of clever and insightful storytelling. The Wrong Heart has left an indelible mark on our hearts, as we’re still living every moment of this unforgettable emotionally stirring story of love, grief, and second chances." ~ Totally Booked Blog

"There are books where you read the last page and then move on with your life, and then there are BOOKS which even after the last page, stays with you forever. THIS is one of those books." ~ Lilith Seven Reviews

"This is a beautifully woven tale of the greatest of losses, consisting of well-developed, beautifully broken characters and a heartbreakingly hopeful story that not only turned my emotions inside out and upside down, but forever changed me because it was so impactful! After reading this book, I am forever changed, not just by Parker and Melody, but in the way Jennifer magnifies real-life lessons that she imparts throughout the novel. After reading this, I have a deeper appreciation for all I have in my life and the value of small moments." ~ Jennifer Hahn, Goodreads Reviewer

    When my husband died, he left my broken heart behind. He left another heart behind, too - his. I know it's wrong. I shouldn't be contacting the recipient of my husband's heart. I don't even expect him to reply.... But there's a desperate, twisted part of me that hopes he will. No names. No personal details. Just a conversation. The only thing I have left of my husband is inside him.

    Haltet Taschentücher bereit, wenn ihr in die Welt von Melody und Parker eintauchen wollt. Nicht für schwache Nerven, ihr werdet definitiv die eine oder andere Träne vergießen. Und wenn nicht, dann wird euch definitiv der Mund offen stehen, von den Plot-Twists, die euch hier erwarten. Ihr denkt ihr habt den Plot durchschaut? Oh no, hast du nicht! Absolut wundervoll geschrieben, Emotionen kochen hoch, man fühlt mit den Charakteren mit und will das Buch regelmäßig anschreien! Mein erstes Buch-Club Buch und ich bin hin und weg. Absolute Leseempfehlung!♡

    The author states in the acknowledgments, “This was a love story, but it was also a “love your life” story. And I hope you do. Every damn day.” This couldn’t be more accurate! I fell in love with the characters, their stories and their development from beginning to end. It was a heart wrenching, heart warming story from all character POV’s. The book covers confronting topics (check trigger warnings), but has been written so well in a way that you feel so emotionally attached to the characters and their stories. As someone who has endured my own struggles and journey through mental health, I felt so drawn to this book and was so impressed with how carefully and well delivered this was. I can safely say this has genuinely become one of my favourite books!! This was my first Jennifer Hartmann book and I can 100% understand the hype for her already! Her writing is so deep and really thought provoking. I cannot wait to read more of her work.
