About the author

V. Dalmatina writes Holy Love — sapphic romances where love is sacred, healing, and deeply earned.

Her stories span multiple worlds: tender contemporary romances set in sun-drenched Dalmatia, dark portal romantasy, vampire and werewolf tales, and historical romances. All are united by emotionally mature women, profound vulnerability, honest intimacy, and soul-deep connection. Whether across lifetimes through reincarnation and karmic bonds, or in this one fragile life, her heroines choose each other with courage after facing their scars. There is no toxicity for the sake of drama — only genuine HEAs, because wounded souls deserve real love and soft landings.

For thirteen years, she worked as an officer on luxury mega-yachts, circumnavigating the globe. Today she lives with her wife on a quiet Dalmatian island in Croatia, surrounded by the sea and stone that raised her. English is not her first language, and she lives with dyslexia and dysgraphia, yet she writes every story from lived emotional truth. Her interconnected universes — Heart, Afterbite, Crimson Bloom Chronicles, and others — are built slowly, honestly, and with care.

This is her sanctuary. She invites you to step inside.

Heart of Love is an incredible story about resilience and trust between 2 women who feel broken in different yet intertwined ways. The wide array of intense and at times very painfully displayed and navigated emotions make this a rollercoaster of epic Sapphic connection. As with other books in this series, one of the most striking things for me was the open and often frank discussions regarding intimacy. Thus far in the series each couple has had their own history to navigate, making each book unique. I am in a place personally where the emotion and relationship journeys that bring the MCs together speaks to me loudly in a very validating measure. I really loved the relatable characters. This book at this moment was such an unexpected gift. It’s one more reason I have become such a quick fan of V. Dalmatina. There is not a negative piece to say about this book. If you’re afraid to cry before you smile and LOL read one of her other books. Tears flowed with this one for a bit. I am grateful I was given the opportunity to read and share this review after receiving an ARC from the author.

I really enjoyed reading this slow burn romance, the hope and healing in it were very encouraging. Recovering from the death of a loved one can be so difficult, but it was handled well in this emotional romance. I am really enjoying all the books in this series.

This is an interesting story about Alana who lost her wife, Lada, in a car accident and hasn’t moved on with her grief still overwhelming her. Dona has been plagued in dreams and visions by Lada to go and help Alana so she too can move on. Dona has no idea who this Alana is until one day she sees her in a cemetery and her dog drags her over to say hello.

It’s a clever plot that’s well executed with other members of the extended witch family having important parts to play and information to deliver.

Really enjoying this series.
