Sinopsis
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Helen Hardt comes a deeply emotional tale of being lost, until lightand lovebrings you back to shore
Some days I can almost see the person I used to be. See the version of myself that felt joy, even passion. But she's gone...just out of reach.
Life moves on for everyone else, though, and as my best friends maid of honor, I have a bachelorette party to planin Jamaica, no less. And that means working side by side with the best man: Benjamin Black.
Billionaire. Workaholic. Ultimate bachelor. The perfect catch for any womanunless she's lost her sense of self.
Apparently my body hasnt gotten the memo. Because from the second we meet, something begins stirring, warming my blood.
And when our hands touch, its a heady reminder that even if I feel numb, my heart still beats.
Hes nothing like I thought. Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice.
But I should be afraidand so should he. Because the past never lets go so easily.
Reseñas Varias sobre este libro
This is a story of trauma with a love story mixed in. Trigger warning: there are active rape scenes in this book and murder.
I thought I was really gonna love this story, but I found Tessa highly annoying. I know she went through trauma, but she literally came off as such a self centered btch. I couldnt stand her.
The saving grace for this book was the ending which was very exciting and had tons of action. The flashbacks I enjoyed too. If it werent for those and for me wanting to know the truth about Bens past I probably would have DNFd.
This had a good premise, Tessa was just not a good character in my opinion. I would still try this author again, because there were some really good scenes.

I have to say there is a lot to unpack in this one. Hardt never shies away from any topic and this particular one includes many triggers so make sure to read this disclaimer before diving in.
With that said, this book is not just about someones trauma. It is about connecting, healing, and finding the right someone who is strong enough to handle your fears. Someone who will guide you, stand with you and help heal the trauma in a patient and loving manner.
This book brings an amazing character developed in Ben. He is everything. His patience and love shine through. He is not only hot and kind, but he is a perfect balance for her. Their love story sparks joy and swoons as he cares for her.
Hardt normally writes her stories with plenty of heat and erotic themes, but My Heart Still Beats is pretty light on the heat level. However, the romance and emotion definitely make up for that!
All in all, My Heart Still Beats is a romance story that showcases strength and compassion while developing a beautiful love for the ages.

I enjoyed Braden and Skyes story so I was really excited going into this story(Bradens younger brother & Skyes best friend) but unfortunately it fell flat for me in every aspect. The romance, characters, plot, writing and even the dialogue.
Honestly, nothing about this story felt authentic to me. Ben and Tessas romance felt forced, the mystery blackmailed kinda felt far fetched and then Tessa was hit with SA upon SA
