this is my perfect book
mostly low angst but still highly emotional
realistic contemporary romance
and i can appreciate the recurring themes of colors and grief
only thing that’s eh is the title, but that doesn’t make the book any less wonderful

Epically beautiful!!
I know this story would grab my heart and it totally did! It shattered it and put it back together! Kyleen has a way with words and this journey through grief, life, love, and forgiveness; is so epically beautiful, both River, Easton (and Paul) will be in my heart forever!
This story follows a life-altering event for both River and Easton, through the outcomes are very different. 5 years later Easton is still grieving, living in a very grey world, and going through the motions, rather than living. River, on the other hand, is going through the motions of work and life but longs to find an epic love that would add passion to his life. A bit of help from a friend and some unfortunate timing and River and Easton meet and embark on a challenging journey of grief, healing, self-discovery and a new life filled with color!
This book is a fantastic example of what the human heart is capable of and just a beautiful journey to finding new love in an unusual place. I loved River and Easton and hope we will be seeing more of them soon!!

This is the best book I've ever read!
Grab the tissues! This book will rip your heart out, stomp on it, and then gently pick it up and carefully place it back in your chest. I was two pages in and I was bawling. Thats right, the prologue made me cry. That said I absolutely loved this book.
KM Neuhold is one of my favorite authors and she absolutely did not disappoint with this book. From the fist page to the last the emotions were real and palpable. I could have sworn I was grieving a loved one just like Easton. At the same time River and Easton managed to make me laugh out loud. The bond formed between these two men speaks of things beyond our comprehension. Magic, if you will. The connection that proves that true love never dies.
Change of Heart is full of love, sadness and humor, but most of all hope. Hope that it's never too late to be happy. Hope that love will always find you. Hope that life will go on. River and Easton's story will be one that sticks with me, one that I'll recommend to people who love a good cry followed by the sweetest, most deserved HEA. I sincerely hope that everyone who reads it loves it, and them, as much as I do.

**********Contains Spoilers**********
I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely an emotional rollercoaster though. Easton lost his husband Paul 5 years ago and following Paul’s wishes his heart was donated to save a strangers life. Easton hasn’t really been living since he lost Paul so in order to get some closure he asked his friend Fox to track down River Williams, who has Paul’s heart to see what type of man he his and to see whether he’s worthy of the gift he was given. Fox is really apprehensive of doing it for Easton as what would it help but he does it anyway. Fox tells him that he’s a good man and agrees to show Easton a photo of River only if he leaves it at that. Easton sees River in person on the street after he was delivering his manuscript to his agent and ends up saving him from being hit by a bus.
This is the start of a friendship that eventually turns into more. River had a heart transplant 5 years ago to save his life after getting strep throat and has no idea that Easton’s husband was the donor. River and Easton bond over their common interests of art and graphic novels. I loved that River helps bring colour back into Easton’s life that was lost when his husband died. Easton feels so much guilt for not only falling for River but also keeping such a massive secret from him. I thought the chemistry between these two was off the charts. Fox and Brendan are total best friend goals and I’m hoping that they’ll eventually get their own story at some stage as they just seemed to click. I’m looking forward to reading more books from KM Neuhold in the future. I’d definitely recommend this book and author to everyone.

Wild story but very well written, good dialogue and conflict and overall enjoyable.
This plot is like absolutely crazy but I really really loved both Easton and River. I liked how much River pushed Easton to be better without pushing too hard and all he wanted was the best for him.
I think the rushing to get married kinda threw me off bc it felt out of character but besides that very well done.
2/5 on spice. 1/5 on kink. 3/5 on tears. Sad shit in here my dudes.

KM Neuhold just keeps getting better!
I knew this book would be good. The quality of the author's books keeps rising and that's saying a lot considering the first one was fantastic. This standalone novel captured my interest on the first page and held it. I would have read it all in one sitting except that pesky work interfered. The characters are vibrant and you become invested quickly. Lots of emotional moments kept my heart fluttering. I loved it. Buy this book now!
