Formats: E-Book, Paperback
Ages: 18+
A lesbian age gap romance about finding the softest hearts behind the highest walls.
When blocking out pain means never allowing yourself to be loved, can you really believe you are living?
For Kristi Ivers, a forty-four year old flight attendant, life has proved itself to be unfair. By her twenties she’d already had more than her share of pain. Alone and unable to process the ache of loss she finds in stillness, Kristi’s life has become a busy throng of perpetual movement. Between work, travel and volunteering at Corazon De Las Colina, a dog shelter in central Costa Rica, she believes she has a full and happy life…until one fateful flight to San José.
Fenna Vargas, is a pediatric surgeon who has just completed her neonatal fellowship, and has the world at her feet. With the support of a large family headed up by her Nicaraguan grandmother, Yaya, Fenna believes in love. All you have to do is be bold and passionate… But is life really that easy?
Can Fenna’s belief in all that is good break down the lifetime of barriers upon which Kristi has built her life? Will the optimism of youth be enough to overpower the sage lessons of reality?
This is an age gap sapphic novel of lesbian romance, which embodies the love of animals and the wisdom of Nicaraguan grandmothers.
Reviews
This is the story of two very real women facing the reality of what it means to truly open yourself up and let another person see you and accept you for who you are. Of the raw emotions of not only accepting love, but that you are worthy of it. Of what it means to grieve and how to deal with with everything that goes along with it. I never expected to connect in such a personal way to part of Kristi's story. I know myself the agony of waiting for something that could completely change your life, as it had members of your family. The terror of having to choose between staying in ignorance and the finality of truth. But threaded throughout is the power of love and hope. And once again a beautiful depiction of how special love is between women. Delivered, as always, with Ruby's signature perfect amount of spice.
Rescuing Hearts was honestly the perfect palette cleanser after I binged the entire Awakening of Desire series back to back. If you’ve read it, you know why! I found the characters in this book very relatable, both flawed and vulnerable. It’s a beautiful love story with just the right amount of spice and heart that kept me eagerly turning the pages. As for Yaya… she will simply live rent-free in my head and my heart, and I can’t wait to get started on Curious Hearts next because I believe she makes another appearance!
