Defenseless Hearts by Meagan Brandy
3.0
This was miles better than book one in the series, but by no means was this a great book.
I really struggled getting into this one, despite it being a lot shorter than the first book and having a much more tolerable main cast. I will never escape the beast that is Lolli. She is forever a parasite in my life.
I actually picked up Say You Swear by this author yesterday and read 84 pages before I realized how important this book is to a lot of the conversations and plot of Say You Swear. I'm glad I stopped and picked this up even if I didn't like it all that much.
Defenseless Hearts is the second and final full-length novel in the Fumbled Futures/ Tender Hearts series and follows Parker, Lolli's (book one's FMC) best friend, and Kenra, Nate's (book one's MMC) older sister in their complicated relationship. Parker's been in love with Kenra since they first met, but she's been in a relationship with the soon-to-be state senator, Kellan Vermont for even longer. When Parker's sister, Payton drags Kenra with her to Parker's California house to hide from their mom, the two reconnect in ways they've always wanted to, but Kenra's stuck in a toxic and abusive relationship she can't leave and in the end, she'll never choose Parker... right?
Parker is a sweet baby booboo who deserves the world and Kenra is a very damaged character. This was a lot more emotional and angsty than book one and I liked that aspect of it, but I still was bored and I think that was partial to the writing.
Overall, I'm glad I read this series, as it's given me a lot of insight to prepare for Say You Swear. I'm going to read the short exclusive novella included in the e-book boxset next just to finally finish it all off!
