Even hot messes need a happily ever after.

With the quiet help of his wealthy family, Sebastian “Baz” Acker has successfully kept his painful past at bay. But as the end of college draws near, his friends—his buffer zone—are preparing to move on, while his own life is at a crippling standstill.With loneliness bearing down on him, Baz hooks up—then opens up—with Elijah Prince, the guy Baz took a bullet for last year. The aftershocks of their one-night stand leave giant cracks in Baz’s carefully constructed armor. For the first time, the prospect isn’t terrifying.

Accustomed to escaping his demons by withdrawing into his imagination, Elijah isn’t used to having a happy herd of friends. He’s even less comfortable as the object of a notorious playboy’s affections. Yet all signs seem to indicate this time happiness might be within his grasp. When Baz’s mother runs for a highly sought-after public office, the media hounds drag Baz’s and Elijah’s pasts into the light. In the blinding glare, Baz and Elijah face the ultimate test: discovering if they’re stronger together…or apart.

Warning: Contains sex in a Tesla, sex in a cupboard, sex under a piano, kinky role play, and a cappella RuPaul songs. Just a couple of boys groping, battling, then finally loving their way to becoming men.

REVIEW of Lonely Hearts:

I have been waiting for this book! Baz and Elijah get their story told. We’re talking two guys with more baggage than most. Pasts that have the power to destroy their future, if they let it. But Baz and Elijah are a perfect fit. There’s a quote I read once, I’m going to hug you so tight all your broken pieces will be put back together. That is what these two do to each other. Baz’s mom is running for Senate. Elijah is trying not to get any more hurt than he has. Thing is, they need each other. Two stubborn men. Two very lonely men desperate to find acceptance, purpose, and love.

Heidi has a wonderful ability of intertwining beauty and chaos. There’s these super-hot scenes and these dark realities.  I am so thrilled Baz and Elijah’s story is out there. Through these books the support has grown. We start with Walter and Kelly and with each passing book we see the posse of hope getting bigger and bigger. We meet new people who are accepted because they deserve to be, they deserve to be loved, supported, and needed.

I adore how these books show how society is and how society can and should be.

It also helps that Baz and Elijah are FABULOUS together…. In ALL ways!!! I’ve said it so many times; no one writes sex like Heidi. But she builds a beautiful important picture with each book she publishes! Excellent read.
