3 Hearts Reviewed by Eli
Review written for MM Good Book Reviews
This is a basic coming out, coming of age story. Noah is a young man who’s acknowledged he’s gay and been disowned by his mother, and has a nomadic father who wanders in and out of his life, which sets the stage for Noah to feel uneasy in his own life. Enter Ronan who is confident, self-assured, out and proud. The two men will become friends, roommates, business partners and then lovers. They do all of this while building a business, battling homophobia, a gay bashing, the death of a family member and long kept family secrets.
This is a very easy story to read and follows a standard formula, boy meets boy, boy falls for boy, boys have issues, issues are resolved, HEA ensues – which makes it predictable. However, you like Noah and Ronan and you enjoy watching Noah come into his own and their quest to become a couple and remain a loving couple amidst all the things that are happening around them.
What I enjoyed most about Noah and Ronan was how their relationship always had them always being complements of and to each other all through the story, which allowed their friendship and romance to continue despite issues, and others getting in the way. So all in all, while this follows the tried and true formula, there is nothing new or earth shattering here, but it was an engaging read.

Uninspired... In college I took a creative writing course. I was all set to write the next great American novel. Well, my dreams were dashed because in a moment of clarity I realized that it wasn't meant to be. My storytelling skills were pathetic. I barely passed that class with a C- and it wasn't for lack of trying. I didn't know how to build momentum, or suspense, and so my stories fell flat.
Unfortunately, I see myself in this book.
This book is in a word...uninspiring.
The storyline has been done.
The setup is bad.
The narrative is annoying
The dialogue feels stunted and false.
There's no tension, passion, intrigue, because the writing style of the author doesn't provide for it.
I truly believe that this author wants to put out a great love story, but until her writing style improves I won't be reading it.
I can't recommend this book.
