Sunny Shelly’s Review: Red Heart Card by Annie Dyer

RED HEART CARD

Annie Dyer

Release Date: September 28

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

Jude Whittingham didn’t expect his football season would be spent in the stands recovering from injury. With rest and rehab his primary focus, Jude finds his mind is becoming as messed up as his Achilles tendon. It doesn’t help that Neva, one of his many ex-girlfriends, and the team’s nutritionist, has now been assigned to his case.

Neva has more to worry about than dealing with Jude. After a series of disastrous dates and time-wasting relationships, her hope of having a baby is fading. Neva’s problem – no one has passed the audition phase or come close to being father material. Well, since Jude.

When a family seems to be out of reach for Neva, not only does Jude find out about her baby dream, but he also offers to help her out. Neva can’t think of a practical reason to say no, apart from the fact that their past should probably be left exactly there.

Jude might be able to give her a baby, but just because he can, does it mean she should?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I read Red Heart Card while I was huddled under a blanket battling a cold, and it was a perfect no-drama story to get lost in. Neva and Jude had a fling a few years ago, but she broke things off after a pregnancy scare, having realized that she was falling for him and figuring that she needed to settle down with someone closer to her age. Now, Jude is recovering after an injury and needs something to focus his attention on while he rehabs — and when he overhears Neva say that she wants to have a baby, he offers up his services. And if he’s lucky, Jude can convince Neva to give him another shot.

I thought this story was so charming. Aside from an overabundance of graphic menstrual-related descriptions that I thought were a bit unnecessary. I get that the baby pact was the central theme, but could have done without those graphic descriptions and instead a passing comment. But I digress…. Neva and Jude had such a lovely connection. I adored the golden retriever side of Jude and how devoted he was to Neva. The age gap didn’t bother him, but she was so hung up on it. I loved seeing her eventually let down her walls and let him in.

Overall, this was a lovely story by a new-to-me author. It is a standalone in a series; I haven’t read any of the other books, and had no issues following along.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
