Sweet love stories that show differences don't matter.
I read these this weekend and really enjoyed them. They are clean and wholesome romances, no sex scenes beyond kissing. I really like how matter-of-factly the author handles real life issues like OCD, depression & suicide - most especially the honest & different effects on those left behind.
What I loved the most was that the characters are more like real people than in most romances. They have realistic quirks & phobias, some have mental health challenges. Even though they follow the standard "meet, misunderstand, reconcile for happily-ever-after", these books are stories about believably real characters with real challenges in their daily lives. One of the men is a billionaire, but in a way I could see happening to a couple of my high school classmates.
I didn't like the bonus novella as much as the novels, solely because of the military references. I'm a stickler for precise terminology & it throws me out of the story when it's incorrect. It's still a sweet story. The hero is a side character from one of the novels & I was thrilled to learn his love story. I loved the way accessibility issues & mobility challenges are addressed. My personal pet peeve is not a big enough negative to lower my rating of this box set. I look forward to reading more books by this author!

Identity of the Heart:
I loved this introduction to the series. It was incredible and intricate. I was super pumped that we got more than one love story between these pages. I cannot wait to read all of the future stories in this series.
Sheltered Hearts:
This was a sweet story with good characters. We got to see the characters from the previous book as well as meeting a bunch of new characters. There was a high level of dog interaction also, along with some crime and some search and rescue moments.
Hearts of Jade:
I loved this story. The characters, their occupations, their families and the trials they face.. it was all super impactful and well put together. I couldn’t put the book down! This series is awesome. Each book is standalone but you see the characters returning and reading them together it’s just like one big family.
Port in the Storm:
A sweet and simple, peripheral novella with aspects of domestic abuse, the navy, and disabilities. Solid, genuine characters, with a touch of romance and crime.

Why this book?
I just loved this novella. The realism of this young woman finding and making this romance work was accurate and romantic. This is the first story I have read that treated Sams cerebral palsy as just like his beautiful eyes- just another part of him.

They were good. Jade's story was a hard read, but in my opinion, the best of the three.
