A new series that has a new twist on PNR. And I loved it.
There's something for everyone - with a little (ok quite a big bit) of darkness thrown in.
I literally didn't want this book to finish. I was gripped and enthralled from the start and it kept my attention until it finished - and now it's finished I'm praying Eve and Franca can write fast because I'd not then I have a large iron skillet that I can use as incentive - what? I mean I can make them a pile of Welsh cakes...you lot, I'm not THAT mean and horrid!
I'm champing at the bit for the next one. Well done on keeping my attention enraptured throughout the book - despite me being in a lot of pain I couldn't put the book down.

What a book! For me this took me a few chapters to get into it but once I did i was hooked! It is full of action, adventure and is a huge page turner. It has very strong female leads that struggle with the power balence between them to over come the biggest evil. Add in some romance, prophecies and danger what more could you want!

Wild Hearts
This is one of those books that calls forth extreme emotions in a person. It takes you by the hands and runs you through the characters world in full epic living color!
First we meet Aria, an immensely strong Alpha female is the leader of her pack of homeless shifters. No matter how much she sacrifices for her pack, someone lurks in the wings wanting to steal it from her. The pitiful thing about that is they don’t do it in the traditional way, they try to take the pack in an underhanded way!
Next we meet Ember, she is another immensely strong vampire immortal who is running from not only her past, but from her sadistic father. Her father craves the power that Ember wields so effortlessly, her father is an ancient and he is near the pinnacle of vampire power, but with Ember by his side he knows he will be able to rule the world. Ember is convinced it is her duty to bring him down. She will stop at nothing to put an end to him.
As Ember journeys toward her destiny, she knows that Aria and an as yet unseen man will play a huge part in her future, she just hopes that she can get to them before her fathers minions find and capture her; but once they find her, Ember will unleash the vampire that she has kept under lock and key for decades. Containing her true power until she knows she can safely release the inner beast.
Join Ember and Aria as they each try to storm their way into our hearts and emotions....and get ready to embrace their wild hearts! This is another great book you won’t want to miss!

Wild Hearts is a well written book that has an interesting, engaging plot. The writing kept me involved in the story and had me continually turning the page to see what would happen next. I read a lot so if a book is boring, I will generally put it down. THIS IS NOT THE CASE HERE. I had to know what would happen. I actually ended up reading this book in one sitting, it was that engaging.
Three different individuals, a vampire, a warlock, and a shifter must work together. These are species who are normally against each other in this world, so they must come together and overcome their biases. The female characters are strong, independent, and do not require a man to do everything for them, while the men still want to protect them. Often, we are given female characters who are TSTL (too stupid to live) but Newton and Storm created a couple of females I could really get behind. My personal favorite character was Aria, a shifter Alpha female who is badass and ready to take control and do what needs to be done.
There are a couple of twists and turns that weren't expected and that was refreshing as some PNR are becoming predictable. *Not going to spoil it, but sooo worth the read!!!*
I do wish we had been given Draven's side as the story is told only through Ember and Aria as he is also a key component of the three. We are given close first person for the two females, but in my opinion he is equally invested. Maybe we will learn more about him later. There were also a couple of moments where the writing/plot felt rushed and I did lose track of exactly how much time had passed from when the trio met until the end, but it didn't detract from the story itself. I still immensely enjoyed the book and can not wait to read the second one!

Wild Hearts Eve Newton & Franca Storm
I'm a new reader of both Eve Newtons & Franca Storm
And as such, I am very hard to please when it comes to particular reading styles.
Upon starting wild heart I sent a quick pray out to the book gods for
Something amazing and by my wild beating heart Eve & Franca Delivered!
The Female MC’s in this book are badass stubborn and fierce. 1 alpha wolf and 1 alpha vampire, Ember & Aria are a lot like fire and ice burning personalities and icy personas They will take the lead if you like it or not. Only their Alpha male will bring them to heel even then its a trying situation.
Saving the supernatural community comes with a Powerful price.. and as the story unfolds you are quickly drawn in and swallowed by its dark twist and heartbreaking truths.
You are left standing on a precipice at the end of book 1.. but Cleary points the direction where book 2 will pick up from and I can’t wait to see what unfolds.. it's going to be Savage..

Eve Newton and Franca Storm have cooked up quite the tale of imposing, forceful characters paired with the seeking of a prophecy to create a wonderfully crafted book. Aria and Ember are working together to fulfill an ancient prophecy and it has led them to Draven, a Warlock in a Hugo Boss suit! His mother was a Seer and told him that a vampire and a wolf would come to him and that, together, they would bring down the Jurisdiction. As it turns out, Ember is a Seer, too, and Draven realizes that what his mother told him is, indeed, true. It is up to them to go in search and Draven will find them by following their trail. Those two women are a piece of work! Their inner thoughts and musings are more than entertaining and definitely witty. There is so much to be learned and there's going to be a constant power struggle for superiority and leadership. Draven's younger brother, Jacob, supplies an inordinate amount of snark and sexiness along the way. Such a sibling rivalry! And then it all changes. There is nothing but war in front of them. Bloodlust, spells, magical powers, death, anguish and war. With the group at odds, where do they go from here!

Let me start off by saying that this book drew me in from the first few pages. Aria and Ember are two of the baddest FMC’s I’ve read about in a while. Eve did an excellent job of crafting strong female characters, without making them completely unrealistic. They have flaws and weaknesses like any other being. In addition, Eve did not make them instant best friends. There was drama and sass between the two that brought a new dynamic to the prophecy/save the world story line.
It was very easy for me as the reader to get absorbed into their world, and quickly become invested in each of the character’s fighting for what’s right. I absolutely CANNOT wait for book 2 to come out. I especially want to know what Jacob’s motives are.

Ember is a Vampire that has been having visions since she was a child about things that will happen in the future. She has been having visions that she has to find the Alpha wolf Aria. She has no idea why only that its important. Together and with the help of others namely Cahl & Draven they have to battle against powers that threaten not only them but the supernatural world in general. As you can tell things dont go exactly according to plan. This book is definitely a joyride of ups downs, twists and turns. One id happily stay on. Loved the story, the characters and the book altogether. Book 1 in this series is a great read
May 25, 2019
I very much enjoyed this book. You get to see two very strong alpha women (Ember and Aria) navigate trying to fulfill a prophecy and we all know that's not easy. And they pick up many hot guys along the way too
This book hits alot of high points : stong females, steamy scenes, multiple POV's, parts that are funny and of course who doesn't love a good prophecy.
I liked that this book focused on the two female main characters. Their relationship is not prefect by a long shot, they are like the friends that might kill each other. But, they both stick to their duty in trying to fulfill the prophecy come the ups and downs.
Definitely would recommend reading this book.

I recieved an ARC copy for an honest review and this book blew me out of the water! It was an amazing read and I had a hard time putting the book down! The relationships in the book are so intense that you don't know what the characters will fully do but it is still incredible to watch them all grow. The ending killed me and I cannot wait to see what happens next. The powers that Aria and Ember have are different than I have ever seen in werewolves and vampires and it had me turning page after page. This is a must read book that you will not be able to put down until you reach the end.

Wild Hearts was an amazing adventure! The way it had two different story lines within this one book was very well done. I wasn't sure at first how exactly it was going to work, but it was flawlessly done and I felt completely invested in both couples. I can't wait to see what happens next in this story. The book has a bunch of great paranormal aspects vampires, werewolves, warlocks, and more that I really enjoyed! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that loves a good paranormal romance and a bit of action!

A passionate tale of love, lust, obligation, control and lack there of it. An engaging plot with intriguing characters who grow and develop as the story does. FMC's Aria and Ember push their limits and the limits of those around them. Do they know when to stop? Or will the realisation come to late? Wonderful read with all the action I was hoping for and that ending... got me all in the feels! Looking forward to book 2.

Like a Vortex
When I started this book my head was still in another book World, but After 2 chapters this book had me hooked, I don't even know how the previous book went. What an amazing ride this has been.
I love the emotions from the leading ladies and the characters themself.
I really want to know how this ends and hope to have the chance to read book 2 soon. Amazing!

You know it's a fantastic book when you have a newborn and you would rather read the book than get a precious few hours of sleep! I love books with multiple POVs and the authors deliver both with finesse! This book draws you in and takes you for a wild ride with twists and turns you aren't expecting. I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

I really love the two main characters in this book. They both have their own unique abilities which make them very formidable even among their own kind.
This book is filled with action, hot sex scenes, and two bad*** female main characters. I was sucked right in and really enjoyed the adventure and can’t wait to see what is going to happen next.
I would absolutely recommend this book!

This book was such a great read! I love the snark and strength of the 2 main female characters. They have struggles but are able to slowly work through them as the story progresses. Can't wait for the next book!

The world created through powerful and creative world building. The characters are strong and a force to be reckoned with. The story itself is gripping and enthralling making you not want to put it down. I received an advanced copy and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
July 1, 2019
Follows Aria and Ember in their journey to form the circle and save the world. Badass woman, magic, love and messy family drama fill this book. A twisty roller coaster of emotions. I am excited to see how book handles the ending. Will the two stubborn supes love out the fate they were born into?

A good start to a good story..
A good start to a good story... I was intrigued with the characters and the “mission” that brings them together. I can’t wait to see where this story goes in the next book.

Interesting
A longer book, the characters have so much depth. I love that Ember and Aria both feel so much and both struggle similarly even though they are different supernaturals. That ending came out of nowhere!

Got me hyped up for book 2!
The storyline is super unique - love the different supernaturals coming together! The characters are so bad ass! I really appreciate when a book jumps out the gate with action and sex 😅 The ending though....my heart 😫
