Changing Hearts by Marilu Mann
So, this is a poignant moment for me. Because Marilu Mann was our very FIRST author interview when we first began our site and Changing Times, the first book in the Lusting Wild series was the FIRST e-book I ever read. Changing Hearts is a step down in action from the first installment and a step up on love, lust and more importantly self discovery. In the first book “Slade” was the alpha dick head. Sorry, that is pretty much how I felt about him when I first met him.
Marilu really brings home a very important lesson in this book. One that I personally needed a gentle reminder of, and surprisingly found in the pages of Changing Hearts. When somebody is so unbelievable F#$#@’d up, there is always a reason for it. It behooves us to move past our outrage and anger just for a moment and have empathy towards a being that became so twisted and screwed up for a reason.
There are events that become defining moments, things happen that we may never know about that person that shape them into who they are and become. I believe it was Rafael Sabatini (do not quote me because I could be wrong! lol) who said something to this effect. “When we know all that there is to know about a man, we can do nothing but forgive.”
This is a wonderful tale of pride, love and self discovery between a man completely scarred by his past and a woman’s somewhat crippled heart. How they find one another, and move through the ancient dance of love and lust.
Five tombstones from this jaded and cynical reviewer. Changing Hearts is a love story not to be missed! Damn it Marilu, you made me cry! (do NOT tell anybody!)
