Hearts Like Hers (Seven Shores #2) – Melissa Brayden

I loved the first book in this series and I really enjoyed this one – it just didn’t quite live up to my hopes. Despite this it was still a great book that I would happily recommend to anybody else.

The friendship group in this series really make this set of books for me, the reactions and writing of Hayden, Gia and Izzy are well written, funny and enjoyable. I like Autumn, but felt disconnected from her. I much preferred Kate and the brooding, slightly damaged characterisation.

I liked the storyline, and it was interesting to have some of the plot lines such as adoption and pregnancy come into play in unexpected ways and is why I’d still give the book 4 stars.

I’m looking forward to finding the time to read the third instalment and hearing more about this group of characters, including if the HEA sticks.
