SINical Heart

Rate this book
When it's young love, you think some things are meant to last forever, but circumstances can change the course of one's life in an instant....
I got my girlfriend pregnant when I was sixteen. How is a sixteen year old mature enough to be a father? There's too much I wanted in my life, but a baby, something that's a part of me and Kennedy, seemed like the perfect family....
My boyfriend got me pregnant when I was seventeen. I was scared, there was no way I could give this child the life he or she deserved and I wasn't ready to be a mother....
Giving your child up is one of the hardest things I'd ever done and now here it is twenty years later and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about that child....
And now...he's looking for us.
I think about Justin too and the rockstar life he now leads. What I thought was something that would last forever is now just a memory, but now I'm seeking Justin out, for circumstances beyond my control, all because of the child he didn't want to give up.
I knew this day would come eventually, but with my marriage falling apart and Justin's career skyrocketing to the top, what will fate have in store for all of us?

I am an obsessive romance reader turned writer. An amazing group of indie writers have inspired and encouraged me to pursue this crazy dream and now I can’t imagine stopping. Born and raised, I have always lived in Southern California. I am happily married, with two small fur babies. I love my job as a teacher and wouldn’t want to do anything else. Except maybe be a full time writer. Between reading, writing, and teaching, I have little free time. But in those rare moments I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, binge watching reality television and baking.

After reading- and loving- Kay's debut novel, Reckless Abandon, I was very excited to read her next book! People, she has hit a home run with this one! SINical Heart has an engaging plot, lovable characters, and some super steamy scenes.

Let’s talk about those lovable characters I mentioned above. If you don’t find yourself wanting to marry Justin, you’re crazy! He is a sexy and passionate Rockstar but he is also patient, kind, and incredibly sweet. One of my favorite lines is when Justin says to Kennedy,

“This,” I point to the two of us, “will never be about me or you. It will always be about us.”

Gahh, SWOON, this moment I swear I had hearts in my eyes. Kennedy was loving and strong. She had so much going on in her life and she tried very hard to do what’s best for her girls. Justin was there to support Kennedy through everything, and he made it clear that he was not going to lose her again. Their rekindling romance was beautiful, hot and emotional.

Although Justin and Kennedy are the stars of the show, Teri has also introduced us to a few secondary characters that deserve their own time in the spotlight. So, on my knees, pretty please, make it a series?! #NotDoneWithThesePeeps #Kyle #Bexley #Jameson #Lauren. When you read SINical you’ll know what I mean.

This is a beautiful second chance romance that you won’t be able to put down. I know I’ll be reading this again and I can’t wait to see what comes next from Teri Kay! 4.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

This was my first book by Teri Kay, and I loved it! I was sucked in from the very beginning, and couldn't put it down. It's beautifully written, with just enough emotion and drama to keep a reader wondering what's going to happen next. My heart hurt for Kennedy more than once, and Justin...sigh...we all need a Justin in our life! I definitely recommend this one to anyone who loves a hot rocker, sexy scenes, and taking an emotional roller coaster ride that will keep you wanting more!

This is the first book that I have read by this author and will definitely not me my last. Great story of second chance love. Dual POV with a few bonus POV from a 3rd party. I would have liked a chapter from Mason's POV just to get a feel for his true feelings. And who doesn't love a Rockstar romance? Plenty of sexy moments, sweet swoon worthy moments and a little drama. Loved it. Highly recommend this one.

Outstanding!!!

Kenny and Mason and Justin....and well, the entire crew took me on one hell of a ride. From page one I was drawn into the story. Through the journey of their backstory and their present lives I was sucked into what was going to happen next. There was so much to consider, so much pain to forget and so much love to build upon.

This was an incredible read...I LOVED it!!!

I give SINical Heart 5 stars. The more I read the more passion I felt for this extended family. I felt so many emotions while reading it, sad and disappointed at the beginning, then happy and content, and frustrated and angry, but in the end I got my HEA so I was elated!

Teri Kay has delivered a winning combination in this one. Very good writing, great characters, and a storyline that tugs at your heartstrings in so many ways, but remains very realistic.

More than twenty years ago, Kennedy and Justin gave up their child. They were young and she knew they could not give him the life he deserved and she was not ready to be a mother. They both went their separate ways and lived their lives. Present day, their son is looking for his birth parents. Why now?

Kennedy Dixon is seventeen, pregnant by her boyfriend and scared. She gives up her child, one of the hardest things she's ever done, and thinks about him every day. She needed to complete her schooling, and Justin had his music to pursue. Years later, married with children, she realizes her marriage is falling apart. She knows her son is looking for her. What's in store for her and her family?

Justin Heart got his girlfriend pregnant when he was sixteen. He wanted to keep the child and be a family, the three of them. She doesn't want that, so the child is adopted by a good family and she is heading off to school. His career has skyrocketed to the top and he leads a rockstar life now. When, after more than twenty years, he receives an email from Kennedy, he thinks about deleting it without opening it. Should he open it?

SINical Heart is romance novel that speaks about infidelity, insecurities, loss, illness and love, with many twists and turns throughout the book.

It's a beautiful love story. I loved it.

This was my first book by Teri but by no means will it be my last. I absolutely love a rock star romance, and this one was completely different. I loved that the couple in question are older and not some punk kids..lol. From the beginning, the story tugs at my hearts strings in all the right ways and I had to stop to take a breather a few times. Keep some tissues and ice cream on hand but know that there is a HAE, so it's ok. I look forward to seeing stories about some of the other characters that we have met and come to love. Have fun!!

OMG this book, I just couldn't get enough. Kennedy and Justin made a decision when they were 17 that was best for everyone. 20 years later Kennedy has her husband her two daughters, a life that seems full til her daughter shows her a hot guy on the Internet that when looking at the picture the eyes looking back could be hers or someone that at one time was her everything. Justin has made name for himself and his band but he never expected a call like he got from the one person he's never forgotten. When Kennedy and Justin get together it's obvious that the chemistry from 20 years is still there but they have other issues first. will they get their chance?

This was a first for me from Teri Kay and I absolutely loved it. She rocked it with this one. It is not your typical rock star romance it is so much more. You will fall in love with the characters and not want to see it come to an end. You will feel the true emotions of this books as well. You will laugh, cry and scream a few times but you will feel love the most. This book has heartbreak, new relationships, love, strength and secrets all tied up in one. I hope she brings us more and makes this a series because you will not want to see it end.

Kennedy is a mom of two girls and in a marriage she feels is falling apart. She hides a secret from everyone but her sister, mom, dad and best friend. Will this secret be the breaking point for everyone when they find out? She got pregnant at 17 with her 16 year old boyfriend. She gave that baby boy up for adoption so he could have a life that she could not give him. She lost her boyfriend and never thought she would see him or her son again. She thinks about them often even though the are not in her life anymore. When her daughter's show her a picture on Facebook of a boy looking for his birth parents, she knows it is her son but how will things work out? She struggles with reaching out to him but with Justin by her side she does. What does he want and how will he react when he finds out who his real birth parents are and why they gave him up?

Justin Heart is a hot and sexy Rock star in his own band Sinical. They are very successful and it is all he wants. He still dreams of the love he lost and will not commit and settle for anyone because he knows he still loves his high school sweetheart Kennedy. His heart was broken when she gave their son up for adoption even though he knew it was for the best. When he gets a email from Kennedy saying she needs to talk to him everything changes. He knows he will do anything to get her back and make her his again. When she confronts him about finding their son, he encourages her to reach out to Kyle. Will finding him be just what they need or will it mean more heartbreak?

When Kennedy realize her marriage is over because her husband is cheating on her Justin will be there for her and will do everything he can to protect her and her girls. He will prove to her that his love is enough and that they can have the family that they lost so long ago. He proves to her it is about the "US" not the me or you. How will the news Kyle has for them change everything and will they be able to help him?

This is a second chance romance that brings a lot of subjects into play--Insecurities, loss, infidelity, illness and love with some twist that will have you rooting for love to prevail. You will also fall for the secondary characters of Kyle, Bexley, Lauren and Jameson so please give us more on all of them Teri.

ONE-CLICK this one and fall in love with this story you won't want to put it down.

Love love loved this dang book!!

I adored Justin & Kennedy. I loved that even with so much time between them they still had this connection, this powerful love.

Kyle was a great addition to this book and it was lovely to see him with Bex.

Although my heart hurt for them when he told his diagnosis, I had faith that the author would handle it beautifully and she did.

Overall an incredible book! Loved it so much! This author just gets better!!

This book was so very good and the first from this author I have read. From the very first page to the last, I was hooked and could not turn the pages fast enough. Teri Kay took some incredibly emotional subjects, teen pregnancy, adoption, lost love to rekindled love, betrayal, and addiction and wrote an incredible story. This book will make you cry on one page and be laughing out loud on the next. I really enjoyed SINical Heart and finished it in one day. I am hoping this is not a single book but the beginning of a series because there are many characters introduced in this book that I would be interested in reading more about.

oh...this story was so emotional. Justin is the rock star, Kennedy is the mom with a husband and then there are the secrets. it is a story of young love and what people do when it's way out of control. I was given this book to read and offer a honest review. I can say it was worth the stars and it is worth a read without wanting to put it down.

So many feels! SINical Heart gives you: heartbreak, sexiness, love, strength, secrets all in one book. Teri Kay really hit this one out of the park. I loved everything about this book. Justin Heart is swoon worthy and not your typical rock star. He knows who he loves and he doesn't stop until he has her. All he wants to do is take care of his one true love that's come back into his life. You can't help but fall in love with him. So freaking hot! Totally one of my favorites of the year.

I really don't read a lot of rockstar romances, but I have been lucky and a happy reader when they do come my way. Teri Kay did not disappoint me with SINical Heart. It has the family drama, second chance love story and the sexual intensity someone would expect from a musician that is surrounded by groupies.

Kennedy is a mother of two daughters and she finds that her marriage is falling apart. At the age of Seventeen Kennedy made the hardest decision of her life and gave her baby up for adoption and in making that decision she also let go of her boyfriend. Both young and filled with dreams she believed that this would give their baby the life it deserved, she would be able to continue her education and her boyfriend Justin could be the rockstar he has always dreamed of. Now 21 years later, their child comes looking for them. Kennedy knows she has to make contact with Justin and open memories of their past. With Kennedy's life falling apart around her, will she be able to keep her emotions together while she is around her one true love?

Justin Heart is a famous guitarist, his band SINical can fill venues. His dream of becoming a rockstar is fulfilled. So why does his life sometimes feel incomplete? Justin loves his life, he has lots of money, lives in luxury off or on the road, and he can have any groupie he wants. His past and the secret he kept as a sixteen year old boy has come looking for him and now wants to meet him, but will having the girl that broke his heart back in his life be to hard to handle or will she remind him that he never stopped loving her? Justin is more than I imagined, his sexual appetite is intense but it is his heart that will have you swooning.

SINical Heart is one great second chance at love story with characters that will touch your heart. The drama is perfect, the connection between Justin and Kennedy is passionate and I found that the storyline kept me interested... I wanted to read it in one sitting. 5 Star read!

Siento que la historia no me terminó de cerrar.

Me dio la impresión de que la autora armó todo el drama con el esposo para embarrarlo... y así justificar que Kenny volviera con Justin.

y sigo intrigada con el drama con la madre adoptiva de Kyle.

SINical Heart is my first book I read by Teri Kay. It was a great book on Rock Star Romance and so different from the others I have read in the past. You usually get a rocker that is in the fast lane with fame, drugs, sex, and of course the rock and roll. Justin is the guitarist for SINical. You will love Justin on first read <3 The book was well written. The author did a great job with the book and I enjoyed reading about the characters past and present lives.

So we know that both Justin and Kennedy have a history and gave up their baby years ago. Now their son wants to locate his parents and all the drama and secrets start to unfold. For Kennedy this is only a start of the unraveling that will happen in her life. I felt so bad for her when one bad event happened after another. Then her husband just betrays her and it gets even worst by the minute. This shows the heart and strength that Kennedy and Justin have to face.

I found it hard for me to try to stop reading this story. I even was sure I wouldn't finish the book until tomorrow. But I got trapped in the story and was happily reading all day. The emotions relayed in this book were regret, guilty, sad, betrayal, loss, and happiness. I would get upset with some events, then I would cheer loudly for these wonderful characters. This is a great read you would want to get your hands on when release day is here!

A rocking 3.5 stars!!

I haven't read a Rockstar romances before, but happy to try out this second chance love story!

The more I read of this story, the more I enjoyed. Poor Kennedy went through just about everything in this story, and who doesn't love a man with a big heart who is still in love with his childhood sweetheart?

Justin was the hero of this story for me. He was calm, sexy, and solid throughout. There was plenty of swoon worthy moments, but at times I felt the love scenes and passion were a way of Kennedy to escape the real world.
The poor woman went through the ringer in this story and it was truly gut-wrenching at times. Thank heavens for HEA!!

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the story, there were a few parts that took me out of the story and that is why I rated it a solid 3.5 stars. I think there will be some further stories from this extended family, and my ask is that Justin features in them!! LOL

2 of my favorite types of plot lines, second chance romance and sexy rock stars!! This is a new author for me and I was not disappointed.
Kennedy's life had taken some unexpected turns in the course of a week. Her son she put up for adoption 21 years ago is looking for her, Justin comes back into her life and she finds out her husband is cheating on her from a butt dial. Justin can't believe he could have a second chance with Kennedy and he will do anything to hold on to her this time. Things start to get hard for Kennedy when she finds out her husband had been cheating with her best friend and her son has cancer.
This was a great story, would definitely read more!!

This was the first book I read by this author but I plan to read more. It was very true-to-life with the situations that the characters were in and it plays on your emotions throughout the entire book.

At seventeen Kennedy knew that her and her ex-boyfriend couldn't provide the life for their son that he deserved so she decided to give him up. Justin loved Kennedy completely and was willing to do whatever it took at sixteen to make it work for their family. Although it was heartbreaking to give up their son they knew it was for the best. Now twenty-one years later he's looking for them and they haven't spoken to each other since the day they said good-bye.

SINical Heart took a few turns that I wasn't expecting but I drew me in that much more with each line. I loved that it stayed true-to-life with what the characters experienced and proved that sometimes love isn't easy, but true love deserves a second chance.

I am so glad I had the opportunity to read this excellent story about Kennedy and Justin coming back together after so many years apart.
So much goes on in this storyline I didn't feel at any point it was lacking. Parts I felt my heart break, others I was frustrated.
Dramatic, witty, flirtatious banter, some hot scenes, wrapped up with an intense amount of love. I just couldn't get enough!
A first time read for me by this author- most certainly will not be the last!
5+++ Stars from me!!
I voluntarily read an advanced reader's copy of this book

Kennedy and Justin are sweethearts. He's still in high school. She's preparing for college. Then she decides to give up their baby and say goodbye to Justin. He is devastated. Twenty years later who knew that she would be trying to locate him with news that she may have found their son. Bexley encourages Kyle to try to locate his parents. He is overwhelmed when he finds out that Justin of Sinical may be his father. Kyle and his girlfriend have other reasons why they are trying to locate Kyles family. A matter of life or death. Justin will do anything to protect his family. Even if it means going to jail. Could not put this book down! Witty, drama, blackmail and everlasting love.

I adored this novel....
When you press with hard decision, what choice would you make?
And how that choice determines the directions of your life journey...
This novel starts with"those eyes" staring back at you!
Looking for answers, some with consequences, hard explanations....
Heart breaking moments, soul searching, and steamy encounters...

Justin and Kennedy were high school sweethearts who were inseparable. They loved to spend time at the beach where Justin wrote songs and Kennedy took pictures of his band. The harsh reality of life set in when Kennedy told Justin she was pregnant. Justin was so in love with her that he wanted to make a life with her and the baby, but Kennedy told him she was giving the baby up for adoption. She wanted to go to college and felt the baby would have a better life with a couple who could care for it. Justin pleaded with her but she told him they were just too young to become a family. Justin and Kennedy only got to hold their son briefly before he was taken away.
Many years later, the past caught up with Justin and Kennedy. Her daughter saw a picture of a cute guy on Facebook who was looking for his birth parents. Kennedy took one look at him and knew it was her son. She hadn't spoken to Justin since the day their son was born and she was afraid to contact him. Justin has never forgotten Kennedy and still dreamt about what might have been. He still loves and wants her, even after all this time. He is determined to meet his son and finally get to know him.
Why does Justin and Kennedy's son need to find them? What will Justin's reaction be when Kennedy tells him about their son? How will Kennedy feel when she sees Justin again?
SINical Heart by Teri Kay is an amazing book. I fell in love with the story and the characters and I wanted the book to go on forever. The love between Justin and Kennedy is so strong you can feel it in your own heart. Teri Kay has given us a beautiful and tender love story that I know everyone will enjoy as much as I did.

SINical Heart is a great read. It has a unique story line. There are a lot of mix of things going on in this one. Kennedy is married with two girls. Her marriage is falling apart. Justin is a famous rock star. Kennedy and Justin were in love when they were teenager and they had a son that they gave up for adoption. They really haven't talked to each other since. Kennedy has kept that a secret from her kids and husband. Out of the blue Kennedy see a guy looking for his birth parents. She pretty sure it's her son. She makes contact with Justin after all these years. Justin is super and nice. With him being a famous rock star, I kind of expected him to be a jerk. He was completely opposite of what I expected. Justin is definitely swoon worthy. Kennedy is a strong character. With her marriage failing, reconnecting with Justin and the son she gave up for adopting, I kind of expected her to be a mess but she is really put to together and rolls with what life gives her. There are ups and own in this story. It's definitely one you should check out.

Update: I didn't realize how much this book touched me until two days later it is still in my thoughts.

This was my first book by Teri Kay. So many wonderful emotions. So many great characters. I really liked the story. I can't imagine how hard it is to give up a child for adoption and walk away.

Justin wasn't happy with it but as a junior in high school it just wasn't practical. Kennedy knew it was the best thing for their child, but it wasn't easy. As the baby is taken, Justin walks away.

21 years have passed. Facebook is all the rage. A posting "I am looking for my birth parents" changes everything Justin. For Kennedy, it another wall crumbling in her life. I loved this journey to reconciliation and an fantastic HEA.

A story of very nice second chances.
Justin is kind, affectionate, loyal and sweet, very sweet. A rock for Kennedy
Kennedy is tender, loving, a great mother and a very strong woman. What he had to face in his marriage was not easy.
Lila and Hannah a wonderful daughters and Kyle a very brave boy.
The conflic that the author developed was not heavy on the contrary, it made you want more and more ... It gave us to know a true and lasting love despite the 20 years of separation and the reasons for that break.
In short, I loved it.

Loved this book!

Teri is great storyteller. This was a beautiful story from begining to end. It was an orignal story of two people that fell in love young, broke apart and reunited 21 years later. I liked it because it was different from all the rest that have a similar premise. You will fall in love with both kennedy and Justin. There will be tears, have your tissues ready. There is also some very steamy scenes. I love the way Teri Kay tells a story and you will love it too. I could not put it down. It was so worth mynbook hangover.

Sometimes I forget how fast I can read. I really loved this book Kennedy is an amazing heroine with great personality and depth. Justin is the guy who you just want to fall head over heels for. They made a child when they were just kids them self. Can they find the passion they once had? Alright I’m ready for more. Teri are there plans to continue this series??
