Fragments of the Heart by Ally McGuire

Formats: E-Book, Audio, Paperback

Ages: 18+

Love can be the most thrilling expedition of all.

Archeologist Kelly Pierce lives for adventure, weaving a tapestry of exploration, seeking out artifacts that whisper stories of the past. Always ready for the next expedition, she never thought Oklahoma would be on her map.

Shawn Scott thrives in predictability. As Director of Descriptive Statistics, numbers are her world, but people? They’re a puzzle. So, collaborating with a British archaeologist is an incongruous with her routine as a desert oasis in the Arctic.

But when a new site is temporarily exposed in Alaska, Kelly and Shawn unite, racing against time to claim the artifacts. Amidst the treacherous terrain and chilling uncertainties, they grapple not only with the elements but with the awakening of emotions neither anticipated.

As danger looms, will they unearth more than artifacts or will the forces that brought them together ultimately tear them apart?

5 out of 5 stars Wow! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2025 Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase I don't remember reading a book that had me gasping, crying, laughing and so fascinated, all at the same time! Beautifully written, especially when exploring the characters and their thoughts and feelings. The context is also not only unusual but so interesting! Thank you Ally, I loved it.

Without doubt deserves awards Mcguire received recently for it. This story is fully engrossing with wonderfully diverse and fascinating characters, sprinkled with just the right amount of tension and danger to balance out the soft fluffy moments. It pretty much has everything u don't know u need in a story lol
