Trampled Hearts
I’m done with love.
Done with bad dates, bad sex, bad decisions, and men who somehow manage to be disappointing and overconfident at the same time.
Unfortunately, I’d already booked a ridiculously romantic, completely nonrefundable couples-only getaway before I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me.
Which means unless I can somehow find a replacement date before the trip, I lose the vacation, the money, and what’s left of my dignity.
So when a flyer for a matchmaking service shows up at the bookstore where I work, I make a deeply reluctant, slightly unhinged
If I have to bring someone to paradise, I might as well let fate take a swing at it.
What I don’t expect is Hart.
He’s tall, pink-haired, way too pretty, and way too invested in my love life for someone who insists he’s just here to help me find my perfect match. He owns a flower shop, shows up at the worst possible times, and somehow every date he sets me up on ends in complete disaster.
Like the universe itself is trying to steer me somewhere else.
And the worst part?
The more time I spend with my infuriatingly charming matchmaker, the harder it is to ignore what’s happening between us.
Because Hart doesn’t feel like the guy helping me find my soulmate.
He feels like a very bad idea I’m already halfway in love with.
Then I find out Hart’s hiding a very sparkly, very impossible secret of his own. One that should make walking away easy.
Too bad for him, I’m not built to quit when something feels this right.
And I’m definitely not the kind of girl who lets a good thing gallop away from her.
Trampled Hearts is a steamy magical matchmaking meet-cute about heartbreak, unexpected hope, and one very unforgettable pink pony boy.

*Honest ARC review* The story starts w/ our FMC book store girlie Destiny who has just been cheated by her ex and life essentially ruined. She is looking for someone now to take on a trip to an all inclusive vacation that they had prepaid for. She meets matchmaker and florist the very handsome Hart (haha) and he offers to find her soulmate. She declines and they settle on someone “good enough” to take with her instead. She just has to go on some blind dates to find said mystery man. Personally I loved Harts character. Pink hair piercings and a tail?? Ok baddie.
Now this could just be bc it was unedited but—my only issue and reason for the lower rating was bc the overuse of certain words “like” and “all inclusive vacation”. Not to mention Destiny really kept getting in Harts space in a non/dub con manner like grabbing his tail etc. (that just wasn’t my vibe).
Overall it is an interesting Valentines read that some may enjoy & if you like my little pony but spicy I do recommend it.
Thank you for the chance to read and review I greatly appreciate it!

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I went into this book with the barest idea of what it is about and enjoyed the wild ride. The cover, the plot, the pony puns! There is a lot to love about this book. The worldbuilding, main characters, and our side characters make the world feel realistic. I love Dezzy’s inner tone of voice. Reading recent books where the dialogue resembles how we talk today is very entertaining, and this book had me cackling!
I didn’t particularly care for the text format. I personally like full sentences and paragraphs, but that if a personal preference. I also found repeated and descriptive words that seemed like they could have been omitted or replaced with other words to break up their use. The constant adjective and adverb combo sentence is a little overused. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this book. I think it could have been fuller and more descriptive, but it was good for a light read. My favorite quotes so far:
-” Skin of a killer” like in that one vampire movie.
-“High-class dummy behavior.”

Review of advance copy received from Author
I actually didn't know how I was gonna feel about this, but it peaked my interest (especially seeing the ML is the one with the pony characteristics) and I am so glad I had the opportunity to read this ARC.
Afterwards, I honestly felt like it was one I didn't know I wanted/needed in my life haha. I loved their nicknames they came up for each other and how it took a minute for both to figure out what was happening between them. Although it was a shorter read, I didn't feel like it was rushed and by the end my questions were answered.
I wish I could say more but don't want to spoil the fun of you discovering it for yourself.
It was cute, short, and honestly I'm all for the concept.
-magical matchmaking pony boy
-fml who is done with love or so she thinks
-one week deadline
-romcom
-some spice in the last couple chapters

I received a free ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity!
Well, pleasantly surprised with this one! I haven’t read anything else by Shena N. Again, but I think I need to!
Dezzy has had her heart-broken by a lying, cheating ex. Hart is a matchmaker who just needs to make one more match, than he’s free to live his life however he wants. Nothing could go wrong, right?
I really enjoyed the dynamic between the two. It’s cute, fun, chaotic. It’s a short, entertaining read with a good bit of spice in the last few chapters. I’ll definitely be back for more with this author!

This book was so much fun! 💗
Hart, is a My Little Pony coded MMC but with an alternative vibe. Pink hair, piercings, tattoo, and wears a harness. 🥵 Who just so happens to be a florist and matchmaker.
Destiny aka Dezzy, is a curvy, beautiful, tattooed, alternative, glasses wearing, sexy librarian vibe FMC. She is over men, after her last breakup, but needs a date for a non refundable vacation.
Their paths cross and superb glittery chaos ensues. Filled with banter, steamy tension, magic and all the swoons. 🪄
Read if you enjoy:
🖤 Dual POV
💘 Pony Shifter
🖤 Curvy FMC
💘 Pierced MMC
🖤 Magic
💘 Slow Burn
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Thanks to Shena N. Again for the ARC! All thoughts are my own.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I received an ARC of this book in exchange of my honest opinion.
And man, what opinion is that.
The duo Shena N. Again apparently did it again and delivered a filthy little piece of literature packed with humor, magical creatures and soulmate bonds.
The characters? 10/10
The plot? 10/10
The fact that scared me to death that it will have second act breakup but Destiny delivered? 1000/10
And of course, the filth? 10/10.
Destiny is now my role model in life and I will treat real world a little bit more like her. Pony mate included.

April 14, 2026This was a short fun new take on cupid with a side of pink ponies. Hart was easy to relate to in all his sparkly glory and Dezzy was all of us at some point (ready to just give up on love).
Their story was sweet and funny and Hart’s unruly magic created some really fun moments. I loved all the puns and the Hart’s grumpy almost reluctant attitude.
It was easy to fall into and I finished it in just a couple of sittings. It’s short but the burn is slow slow. No spice till the very end. I kind of wish there was more because it was fun and he has a secret!

This is a complete standalone in the Hear Me Outverse.
I read through this extremely quickly. This story is a bubble gum pop, Lisa Frank fever dream with a pink pony and lots of glitter.
The FMC is unapologetically genuine while the MMC is just trying to play matchmaker. He sets her up on some pretty hilariously horrible blind dates. This book had a lot of situational humour.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves ponies, glitter and watching someone play matchmaker and it keeps going wrong.

This was super cute, like My Little Pony but with glorious smut!! The banter between the main characters was fun and flirty, and I enjoyed the tension that built between them as they got to know each other more.
Lots of giggles to be had here and some quality spice. There were a couple of areas in the storyline that confused me and that I would have liked to know more about to tie the story together (especially in regards to Hart’s umm… pony form… I feel like the author could have had a lot more fun with that lol!!).
Thank you for the arc, I had a lot of fun with this cute quirky read!

I'm not really into creature/monster smut ,so I went into this because of a marathon my bookclub was doing to give it a shot. It was quick, nice ,too much pink and glitter for my taste. The spice was nice though.
I rate it with 2 stars not because it was bad, on the contrary, it was quite a pleasant palette cleanser book. The main premise though is not my cup of tea, and the lowkey fear of accidental feral pony magic taking over and making me read some -not fury porn per say but you get it- sexy times that I wouldn't really want to read, didn't let me enjoy the book.
Still a nice and quick palette cleanser . If your into quick, spicy short reads that are more vibe than plot, you should definetely check it out.

Oh. My. GAWD. This book had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣 I loved every line! It was hilarious, heartwarming, and had me kicking my feet at how adorably cute the two MC’s were 😆💚💚💚 If you want a bite-sized romcom with a spicy payout, this definitely needs to be at the top of your TBR!
Ready for my favorite quote? There were several, but this one takes the cake 😆
“My brain briefly considers the logistics. Then immediately decides logistics are for cowards. If it kills me, it kills me. Death by pink pony cock. Honestly? Not the worst obituary.”
Check it out now!! You know you’re curious!

Thank you to the author for an advanced copy of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I knew I was in for a silly, fun time as soon as I read the synopsis for this book and it did not disappoint!
If you're looking for a quick, light read, this might be the one for you.
I liked our main characters well enough to be invested in their relationship. We don't dive too deeply into them as people, but I figured out before I picked up the book that it was more of a fun-time read.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and would definitely pick up other books in the series.

Review of Advance Reader Copy
This was such a sweet and cute read. I had a great time reading this. The romance was a slow build, but you could feel it building from the beginning. The story slowed in a few bits, but overall, the pacing was nice and steady.
Super enjoyable and cosy, definitely a good pick if you want a feel good romance, with lovable characters. (I mean, who doesn't love ponies)

This book is my new obsession. My holy shit, can I read it again? It’s super fast-paced, witty, snappy, and so dang fun. It’s like Hot topic in book form. It’s pink and sparkly and black leather and piercings. It’s cute and cozy with an edge. It’s for anyone who saw the new sweet goth line of Michael’s Halloween decor and let out an audible squeal. (Guilty) It’s heart-shaped dicks and cotton candy sex. And it’s for anyone with a secret My Little Pony kink. (It’s okay, we don’t judge)

A cute book of Shapeshifters romance with a fair amount of smut.
The heroine is a bookseller in crisis, the hero is a hard core florist with tatoos and leather attire, but in reality he is an undercover magical matchmaking agent whose real form is a pink pony and he is on a mission to complete his work. Yeap he is a pink pony.
The setting is Valentine's day and the fmc states the she never wants to fall in love again, she is looking nevertheless for someone to take with her on the exotic trip she had booked to go on with her ex. And here comes the mmc who promises to take care of it or else he'll go with her.
The rest is full of angst, chemistry, fuming jealousy, shapeshifting magic and nice blundering.

This was a funny story that follows Hart and Dezzy. Hart has one more heartwarding left before he's free but his magic is acting up and nothing is going to plan. Dizzy is over love and just needs someone to go on the romantic trip she was supposed to go on with her now cheating ex. They were never supposed to become anything, he planned to help her and then be free.

Thank you Shena N. Again for a copy of Trampled Hearts 📖 💘
I really enjoyed this matchmaker, sparkling, rom com about Destiny, jaded from love, and Hart, the magical heart warden. The story was hilarious, with all kinds of shenanigans on Hart's end trying to matchmake Destiny, while falling for the spunky vixen one date at a time ✨

I have not been one to read too many pony shifter books however this one was fun. The writing was well done, the story was cute, that characters were lovable. I very much enjoyed this book and plan to read book 1 now, too. This was a nice light hearted change of pace from my normally darker reads. 💕 Wonderful job!
April 21, 2026
Fabulous love story with a twist! I was entranced with this book right away!! The Pony with the Dove was a great concept and I’m here for it. She believes in magic but doesn’t believe in love… I was lucky to receive a free digital copy and I’m so glad I was able to read this book. I want to read more from the Hear Me Outverse soon!!
April 21, 2026
I don’t know what I was expecting from this book but I got giggles and entertainment with a little sprinkle of spice and some questionable choices in the name of love.
I picked this one out purely because I wanted something lighthearted and fun that would be serious at all and that is definitely what I got.

Trampled hearts is a story filled with sparkling pink pony magic. The growth both Destiny and Hart are going through is really lovely to see/read.
The nicknames they give each other gave me goosebumps, so cute and sweet.
I recommend this book with all my heart, bexausewho doesn´t want a magical pink pony?

This was absolutely hilarious and I loved every second of it. The neighing 😂 Loved Dezzy’s inner monologue so much. The banter was great. Definitely worth the read and can’t wait for what’s next in the series.

This was such a fun and cute read! I just think it was a little out there for my usual tastes lol some of the things at the end were a little odd and not expected, but it was still a good time! 🩷

I honestly signed up for this because of the cover. Dezzy and Hart are the best. This was such a fun read. There’s humor and spice packed into this novella. I can definitely understand the Hear Me Out title of this universe. Definitely recommend if you need something fun and spicy.
April 23, 2026
New author to me was thrilled to read this definitely different kind of read. Loved the slow burn, the concept of the storyline and the characters popped. Banter, magic, a male stallion😉 what more could you want. Would definitely read more from this author.

Weird, cute and what the heck am I reading.
Enjoyable read if you are looking for a quick quirky read to make you laugh and soak up all the light hearted moments, with a pointy tail =P
Thank you to Shena for the opportunity to read.
