This is book 2 in the Tender Hearts series. You don't need to read book 1 (Fumbled Hearts) first, but it is recommended since the characters are introduced in the first book.
This book follows Parker. What Its been like with His new life with Kalani and Nate. And the woman he loves. She only comes around for short periods of time, to recharge and before leaving back to a life she is unhappy in. So what happens when its been months since he last saw her, and she shows up at his door? He can't deny her. Maybe this time, instead of playing safe, he will play defense.
This book was amazing. I loved reading more about Parker, his life, and his love interest. It also had many twists and turns that i didn't see coming, and made me feel.
There was a few things that were hard to read (may trigger, or be hard to read, or even upset some). But it was still an amzing book! I love thelove, friendship, and family that was in this book. 
4 ⭐ out of 5⭐

Defenseless Hearts is book 2 in the Fumbled Futures series - about Nate & Lolli's friend Parker. 

Parker gives his all to her. Every time, she comes back taking a piece of him, but every time he leaves, choosing him. And every time, Parker breaks a little bit more. Would this be the time that Parker shatters completely for this girl, or will she choose him just once? 

Parker is Lolli & Nate's best friend. He has always been in love with one girl, someone he could never have. But she keeps coming back for a piece of him, before leaving again. 

Kenra is Nate's older sister. One who has a on-again-off-again relationship with someone else. Will she finally choose Parker or will she break him by leaving again. 

I love Parker's story. The angst & emotion that it pulls out. It is such a an amazing read & I definitely recommend it. 

4⭐ out of 5⭐. 

2🌶️ out of 5🌶️. Slow burn with a couple scenes with some details. 

Tropes: 
→ emotional read
→ he falls first
→ best friend's sister / brother's best friend
→ slow burn
