#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Selection series Kiera Cass is back with her most epic novel yet—a sweeping enemies-to-lovers standalone romance.
“Love has a sound. It sounds like a thousand heartbeats happening at the same time.”
Princess Annika has lived a life of comfort—but no amount of luxuries can change the fact that her life isn’t her own to control. The king, once her loving father, has gone cold, and Annika will soon be forced into a loveless marriage for political gain.
Miles away, small comforts are few and far between for Lennox. He has devoted his life to the Dahrainian army, hoping to one day help them reclaim the throne that was stolen from them. For Lennox, the idea of love is merely a distraction—nothing will stand in the way of fighting for his people.
But when love, against all odds, finds them both, they are bound by its call. They can’t possibly be together—but the irresistible thrum of a thousand heartbeats won’t let them stay apart.
Kiera Cass brings her signature sparkling romance to this beautiful story of star-crossed lovers and long-held secrets.
My Review
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Thousand Heartbeats by Kiera Cass is a beautiful, sparkling, star-crossed lovers, enemies-to-lovers, epic romance that I couldn’t put down! Swept away into this spellbinding world, full of action-packed adventure, deep revelations, and sparkling, swoon-worthy romance that had me sighing, crying, gasping, giddy, and giggling like a young girl. The descriptives and world building had me captivated as everything else melted away and all that mattered was this beautifully written story and what came next.
“Love has a sound. It sounds like a thousand heartbeats happening at the same time.”
This is Annika and Lennox story and what a wonderful journey it was! Their chemistry was incredible, their banter off-the-charts and swoon-worthy. A love that was written in the stars. And a story that exceeded all my expectations.
It was everything Annika read about and wanted in her life.
“I wanted to swoon, to pine. I wanted passion and tenderness and…a love that might not make sense on paper but was undeniable in person.”
This story stayed with me long after I finished reading it. My new favorite romance of the year!! Loved It!
Received an early copy and this is my honest review.

EXCERPT FROM THE HOOD PRINCESS AND THE PREP...
Three months later, as I sat in on a meeting that Granny B was attending, I found it hard to focus. My mind kept wandering back to the most annoying man I had ever known. Not that I knew a lot, but no man had ever made me feel like he does. I smiled as I thought about the last time I had seen him. Just a few hours ago, but it seemed like forever ago. He had woken me up with breakfast and flowers. We ate, and he told me about his day and I talked about mine. It had felt so normal to laugh with him and just be me. He was still arrogant, but now I thought it was kind of cute and when he flirted or popped up where I was, it seemed sweet.
It was also the little things I was noticing like when he talked, he made eye contact the whole time. I always have his undivided attention. He made my heart leap just by entering a room, followed by a shower of warmth from head to toe. Was it love? I wondered, thinking about the picnic we had last week after the public apology. It had sucked, and the guys had been jerks, but he made sure my day ended on a positive note.
Two weeks ago, after helping to repair the club and pay for the damages, we had gone to the beach. We had laid in the sand and talked well after the sun went down. We had drank wine and the whole thing was just like a movie. Every spare moment of my time was taken up by Cornell, and I didn't even care. It was the highlight of my day now. On busy days, he would just pop up for five minutes or less, but he never left without kissing me or touching me. The kiss was always hot as hell and left me wanting more, but It was the slight touches that set me on fire. How he would hold my hand or wrap an arm around my waist like it was what we did. sometimes we'd be talking to someone like in the interview we did a few days ago, and he would steal my attention. He didn't care who I was talking t or what I was doing.
In the middle of the interview, we had a moment on camera. He started playing with my hair and I looked at him. Our eyes met and held and we both just grinned at each other. A picture of that secretive grin had made the papers. The people had loved that, but it had been real. It was moments like that for me.
It could be love, I thought, letting out a huff.
"Are we boring you Victoria?" Granny B asked?
"No mame," I quickly replied, "Of course not."
"You have been daydreaming again," she said with a knowing smile.
"Sorry mame," I replied, sitting up straighter.
"We are closing anyway," Granny B replied, turning again to the French ambassador. Or was it the Turkish? I did not know, but he was an ambassador. "We will be attending the Ambassador's wedding in two weeks. Please have Olivia schedule that, and you will need a new dress. It is an evening event, so wear a tiara, please."
I nodded and stood as they did. I exited the room behind them, clutching my notepad and pen to my chest as I thought back to my favorite subject. I never expected to connect to him, not on the level we had reached. I didn't know if I was falling in love. What I knew what that having him around for another sixty years wasn't looking so bad.
Two hours later, I looked into the eyes of an angry old man. He didn't like me, I could tell. Everything he had been saying was intended to piss me off. I didn't like him either. From his bald head to the wrinkles on his chin. He had to be like eighty and he thought he was everybody's daddy.
So he was the head chancellor of the scarlet order and Granny B's right-hand man. Since I got here, he had been complaining. First, I didn't want to be here. This was not on my damn schedule, and I didn't like to deter from my schedule. Granny had asked me to sit in this meeting today in her place. Apparently, these were my go-to people. They were to advise me as they had done my grandma and her father before her.
To me, they just seemed old and tired. No one was younger than sixty. Thank God for technology and the history library here, or I'd have totally bought the bullshit leaking from his teeth. He was upset about my drunken night, my night out, and now that the prince and I were out so regularly, in the open, where it was dangerous.
Like I didn't have a small militia of guards surrounding me every day. Like anyone ever got close or even touched me. I could never even take pictured with people or give them hugs. These were my people, according to them, and I had never reached into a crowd or taken a photo with them because it could be dangerous. There were seven men here and if I have my way, they will all be gone by the time I take the throne.
Lord Phillip continued, "a recent poll shows you to be unfavorable to the people. They question your sanity and stability. I just want to put it on the table that there is another heir, someone who will take their role as king seriously."
There was a hushed murmur around the room as I perked up and eyed Philip with all the disdain I could muster. Oh, he wanted to play chess? With checker pieces?
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" He had the decency to look uncomfortable. He should. He was lucky he was still sitting comfortably.
"All I am saying is that if you don't want to do this, you don't have to. You can go home, to America and it will be like nothing had ever happened."
I sat back in my chair and digested that. Had Granny B not threatened my mother, I probably would have turned this entire offer down. Protecting her had been my reason for accepting my grandmother's offer. However, she had expressed her dislike of whoever the alternative was. Which meant that my mother was still in danger until she died or stepped down. Even with that obstacle lurking, I realized I had gotten used to the idea of being queen. I was looking forward to it and I now liked my grandma. She was a little hard around the edges, but I understood why now. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
This dude had some huge balls, to even say that to me, yet he had. It made me think of a desperate chess move. He was jumping ahead of his game and not waiting until a better time. I had been rocking this princess thing. I knew it because the papers were gushing about me every day. I had seen no poll, and my publicist would have pointed that out. It made my hackles raise, and I wondered if the old dude with the crusty goatee was a traitor. Was he working for the opposition? Did the other guy even want the throne, or did he just not like me?
I leaned forward and smiled at him. Game on Sir lord. "Phillip, choose your next words carefully. Are you trying to get rid of me?" Checkmate, I thought. I guess he forgot I held all the important pieces on both sides. He was simply a pawn.

Rock On by Kat Mizera releases on May 21st!
She was the one who got away.
Slipped right through my fingers.
My crush, my muse, my wife.
When she asked for a divorce, I had no choice but to let her go, but my heart would never comply.
Not even after the shocking revelation that rocked me to my core.
I’ll never stop loving her, but I don’t know if I can ever forgive her.
Seeing her again brings memories crashing to the surface, feelings I’d rather stay buried.
Now I’m torn between the love we shared and the hate I’m desperate to feel for her.
It would make everything so much easier.
What happens when lightning strikes twice?
I have no idea.
But, we’re about to find out.

💛COVER REVEAL💛 It started as enemies-to-lovers and slowly over time, I wore him down… ROYALLY NOT READY, a brand new sexy, enemies-to-lovers standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author @meghanquinnbooks , will be releasing on August 9th in all formats! Don’t miss the fantastic cover below and get ready to fall in love with this fresh take on a royal romance with a twist. Laugh out loud funny and full of some of her steamiest scenes yet, Quinn takes you on an unexpected, sizzling fairytale journey. Pre-order your copy today! http://mybook.to/RoyallyNotReady Blurb: So there I was selling bikinis out of my truck in South Beach Miami, getting ready to kick off a wet t-shirt contest when the world’s biggest grouch approached me - Keller Fitzwilliam. The man had the sultriest British accent I've ever heard. And he looked like he just walked off a Viking boat and into a suit tailored specifically for his impressively muscular frame. Only problem is, he had the warmth of an ice pick and he kept telling me he was here to take me back to his home country. Of course, I didn't follow him. I might be up for a good time, but I'm also educated enough to know leaving with a stranger isn't smart. Well, that's until he mentioned my mom's name. My mom who passed away several years ago. So after some serious fact-checking, my bikini-clad bum went with him to a sub-arctic country I had never heard of just north of the British Isles, where I found out my grandpa was the king of said freezing country, and I was the one and only heir. Desperate to learn more about my mom, I decided to give this princess thing a chance. Good idea, right? Wrong. Because Mr. Ice Pick was put to the task of training me and he’s not just cold as ice, he’s pompous, aggravating, and possessive. And did I mention we have to share a bathroom in a tiny castle? We are oil and water every single day and even though he’s training me to be queen, I have this simmering desire to kneel before him. #coverreveal #royallynotready #meghanquinn #preorder #comingsoon #enemiestolovers #royalromance #standalone #ckprpromo @candikanepr https://www.instagram.com/p/CghDBOlL8BS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A warrior. A prince. The one woman who can reconnect their broken hearts…
Chelsea Alderich
From the moment Ford rescues me from a bad date, I feel a spark. Too bad he’s gay, but he quickly becomes my best friend. And a roommate I can’t stop having hot dreams about.

This American girl is messing with my head. I can’t stop thinking about her. She’s sweet and pure, and I’m falling hard, but there’s no way we can have a future together. I’m only here in the U.S. temporarily. I have to go back to Eria to take my place in line to the throne.
Ford Sullivan
Chelsea’s my best friend and my roommate, and even though my feelings for her are more than friendship, I won’t touch her unless she wants it. I know she’s seeing someone else, and to be honest, I’m a little jealous. Until I walk into our apartment and meet her new boyfriend—Prince Griffin of Eria. Then I’m freakin’ ballistic.

My Review
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Royally Indecent is a throuple story between Griffin a Royal Prince, who doesn’t want the throne and just wants to live his life, making a difference in his own way. Chelsea a sheltered, naive, young woman, who tries to find the good in everyone. And is passionate about getting young people involved in the voting process. Ford who has had to fight for everything he has and is a honorable Assistant U.S. Attorney General.
Written in multiple points of view that is one of my personal favorites. This story made everything else fade away as I was taken on an incredibly, sexy journey that had me swooning hard. Kelly Jamieson brought it in this deliciously, charming, sizzling, emotional romance, that was difficult to put down. Well written with characters that are captivating, and a complex plot, full of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming.
“This is messy and chaotic and filthy. It’s pain and pleasure and bliss. And… it’s beauty. Serenity. Unity. It’s perfect.”
This will break your heart, and make you sizzle with lust, as well as leave you believing that love can conquers all. I swooned hard for these characters and their amazing connection. Oh so steamy and romantic! Loved it!

Royally Protected by Kat Mizera is available now!
Available on All Platforms
It’s my job to protect Queen Casey and young Prince Levi. Normally, that’s not a problem. Being nine months pregnant with twins makes it a lot more complicated. My mantra has always been duty first, but I never had two innocent babies growing inside of me before. An attack on the palace sets off a series of events I’m wholly unprepared for. If Sandor doesn’t get to me in time, this may be the end of the road for all of us.
About the Author:
USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.
A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.
Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.
As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...
