House of Hearts is not too thick a book, but within its 140 pages a lot happens. Let me start off by saying this is definitely a guilty pleasure read. Every chapter contains at least one steamy scene! Apart from that, the novel definitely has some depth which I do hope will be fleshed out a bit more in the next book. All in all it made for a quick and breezy read, which came at just the right time for me!
If you look for a quick steamy guilty pleasure read, then House of Hearts is just the right book for you.
The story follows Maggie and James. From the moment they meet in a bar, they are incredibly drawn to each other, and quickly find their way to the other‘s heart. While the relationship suprised me in how quickly it progressed, I can’t deny that I was thrilled to get to the spicy parts. And it‘s getting hot. Very hot. Both protagonist are able to explore their sexuality, and the power within it. Jaimee Bell shows how the roles of power and the dynamic can be explored and switched as both of the characters have their fair share of being the dominant and submissive partner in the act. Something I haven‘t really encountered much in other books and was interested in seeing played out.
While I enjoyed the steamy scenes, and loved to see the characters finding to each other through their sexual relationship, there is still lots of room for character development. However, as this is the first book in a series, I can see that this is an issue that could easily be improved on in the upcoming sequel.
House of Hearts is definitely a guilty pleasure read for fans of steamy romances such as Fifty Shades of Grey that focuses on the dynamic of dom/sub relationships, not leaving you craving for spicy scenes.
CW: The book contains very explicit scenes, and darker elements.
