Changing Hearts

Written by Zaria Sky

Narrated by Deanna Anthony

With heartfelt characters and a charming romance, Zaria Sky’s Changing Hearts is an enchanting tale of love enduring over time and a family coming together.

In the struggling small town of Willow Creek, Kiera Shaw has done all she can to provide for her little girl, even while Kiera is between jobs. It breaks her heart every time Abigail asks about her dad. What more can Kiera tell her little angel? She doubts they’ll ever see him again. But when Kiera finally lands a good-paying job, she never expects to be working for her old flame.

Jaxon Quinn isn’t the type to settle down. A dedicated workaholic, Jaxon has avoided building connections since his mother passed away years ago. But when he’s assigned to revitalize the original branch of his family’s tour company, Jaxon didn’t think he'd ever see the one person he felt a connection with: Keira.

Thrown together by fate, Kiera and Jaxon fight the temptation to fail back into old habits. But Kiera has been keeping a secret for the past six years that will change their lives forever. And now that Jaxon is back in town, time is running out for Kiera to confess.

[Mariluz · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Poorly written, not believable characters and history. Almost no plot, it just finished without anything interesting happening.
