MY REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Before we get into my thoughts about this book, let me first tell you that Heath is a retelling of the Bronte classic, Wuthering Heights, so don’t expect this to be your typical contemporary romance. If you’ve never read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, take a minute and read a detailed synopsis of it first, so you know what to expect. If it’s been years since you’ve read it, like it has for me, refresh yourself with the synopsis. And if you take a hard line on cheating? Well, go read the same synopsis, because this modern retelling pretty much follows Bronte's storyline. And if you think people weren’t having “relations” out of wedlock in the eighteenth century or using sex as a tool for personal gain, I'm pretty sure that has been happening since time began. Oh, you’ll find some romance here, some of it twisted and self-centered and some that showcases the beauty of true soul mates finding each other, but in modernizing this classic Heath sticks pretty close to the original.
In reading this book, you’ll see many faces and effects of love – possession and obsession, decimation and devastation, euphoria and ecstasy. Heath’s love for Catrina manifests as power, leverage, and revenge but then there is the love between Harrison and Cat with the irresistible pull between the hearts of soul mates. One couple shows how love can break the heart, shatter the soul and fracture the psyche, but with the other we watch as love makes a person into a better version of self than was ever possible without it.
This work is far different from anything I’ve read from either of these authors, and it's one that will stick with me for a very long time. As much as I wanted to hate Heath for his self-centered, willful destruction of lives as a product of his obsessive rage and thirst for revenge, a part of my heart went out to him. In the end he was a sad, pitiful man with a tragically broken heart and an empty existence, only to be reunited with his one true love in the next life. Then we have Cat and Harrison. Oh my heart, these two are everything we want to see from a hero and heroine in an epic story of a love for the ages! They found their missing piece in the other, brought light and color into the other's existence and had a love so deep and powerful it transcended the toughest challenges and the maddest evil. Harrison and Cat are the life-affirming devotion, the dazzling love story, and the spectacular happily ever after every romance novel strives to be.
I can’t begin to tell you how phenomenal this book is. I’m still a bit in shock, having my mind blown by these characters. I would have thought a multi-generational tale would bore me, but I was instantly sucked in as the shackles around my heart grew tighter with each page. Books dubbed as “ugly cry" don’t usually effect me much, but I felt this one to the depths of my soul, so if your emotions are easily evoked, have the tissues handy. This one truly has it all, and more, if that’s even possible. Completely unexpected and beautifully unique, Heath will take you on a journey you will never forget. Drop whatever you’re reading and run to the 1-Click so you can begin experiencing this profound, poignant, exquisite read!

Purchase: AmazonThis isn’t a typical love story. This a story of what happens when love is so powerful and all-consuming that it has the ability to destroy everyone involved. It’s definitely not pretty and it’s certainly not a fairytale, but it’s their story and it couldn’t be told any other way.
