Pieces of the Night by Jennifer Hartmann Kindle Crack

Blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes a new angsty, standalone contemporary romance.


I already had a life. A future. A man I'd promised forever to.


But the night I found Chase Rhodes—bleeding, broken, and more lost than I was—everything changed.


I wasn't supposed to let him in. Wasn't supposed to write music with him in secret beneath the moon.


What started as a quiet escape became something unstoppable. Our songs caught fire, and now the whole world knows our names.


Music has a way of pulling the broken together, even when the timing is impossible and the fallout inevitable.


But some hearts don't settle. Some songs were never meant to stay quiet.


Because the night I saved him was only the beginning.


And loving me might be the last risk he'll ever take.

Spoiler-free Review of Pieces of Night

Pieces of the Night (Deluxe Edition)

Pieces of the Night by Jennifer Hartmann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“At the end of the day, we’re all just broken strings… still part of the same song.”

Pieces of the Night by Jennifer Hartmann absolutely shattered me, then somehow stitched me back together. This rock star romance pulled on my heartstrings from the first to the last page.

Annie and Chase meet under life-altering, blink-and-your-world-changes circumstances. What grows between them is raw, complicated, and rooted in their shared love of music. Annie is stuck in a toxic, pseudo-abusive relationship with her high school boyfriend, Alex, one that blurs the lines between comfort and control. Meanwhile, her slow-burning connection with Chase simmers beneath the surface, unspoken, undeniable, and impossible to ignore once she finally sees her unhealthy relationship with Alex for what it is. Annie must navigate her feelings for both Alex and Chase, and life hits a sour note. Their musical journey is filled with twists and turns, heartache and hope, until the music stops.

This book is a deeply emotional journey through grief, trauma, self-discovery, and forgiveness with a love story that feels both fragile and all-consuming. I felt every single note of this one. The playlist and songwriting were the chef’s kiss!

Synopsis:

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes an all-new standalone crossover romance filled with heartache and dreams.


Lexington Hall and I were never supposed to collide—he, the golden boy of Hollywood, and me, a small-town dreamer with stars in my eyes. But when we shared the stage in our high school musical, something ignited.


Then, just as quickly, it all fell apart, leaving my dreams in pieces.


Now, four years later, Lex is a household name, turning our past into a television sensation. He's spun our story for the world to see, while I'm still haunted by what we lost.


With millions obsessed over the "real" Stevie St. James, Lex reappears with an offer too tempting to turn down: a fake romance to keep the buzz alive, in exchange for the financial freedom I desperately need.


I convince myself I can play the part. But as old feelings resurface and new risks emerge, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur.


Dreams are easy to chase—but falling for the guy who shattered mine could cost me everything.


Spoiler-free Review

Dream On (Deluxe Edition)Dream On by Jennifer Hartmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jennifer Hartmann, what did you do to my heart? I just got sucker punched in the feels—in the best, most devastating way.

Dream On is an unforgettable slow-burn romance about Stevie, a farm-town girl with big dreams, and Lex, an emotionally guarded Hollywood actor grappling with a troubled past and his growing feelings for Stevie. Their complicated love story unfolds through scripts, music, and a connection that begins to blur the line between acting and reality. Lex is able to express his true emotions through the roles he plays or behind a cell phone screen. Their connection is electric, and I was thoroughly invested in these two characters.

This book is everything. I savored every word from the first to the last page. The feels. What an epic journey. Dream On might just be my favorite book by Jennifer Hartmann.
Hands down, Dream On is one of my top reads of the year.

𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰'𝒎 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎.

I spend my days locked in a black-market nightmare, held captive by a twisted mastermind who considers me his prized possession. My only form of human contact are the victims in the next room, each of whom disappears faster than the last.

Everyone leaves...except me.

Then I hear him—Isaac. Brash, elusive, and haunted, he isn't anyone's idea of a hero. Separated by a wall, our faces hidden, his voice cuts through the darkness, becoming my only hope. He's driven by vengeance, bearing scars as dark as my own. Despite his rough edges, a fragile bond forms between us—a lifeline.

Isaac might be my best chance of escape, but time is slipping away. Breaking free will mean outrunning both our pasts, and in this twisted game, the cost of freedom may be more than we can afford to pay.

Appearances deceive. Choices have consequences.

And some consequences?
They are irreversible.

Irreversible is a dark, soul-sucking masterpiece, a twisted psychological thrill ride that captivated me from page one and never let go.  This addictive captor romance was unputdownable and was filled with mind-bending twists and heart-pounding tension.  I can’t wait to read more books in this new series of interconnected standalones.

Catch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann Sprayed edges
Synopsis: 

"Kissing you feels like catching the sun…"


At seven years old, Ella Sunbury and Max Manning were inseparable—until life scattered them in different directions, forcing Ella to abruptly leave town. A decade later, she returns for their senior year of high school, moving in across the street from her childhood best friend.


But she's not the same girl Max once knew.


She now lives in the shadow of her brother: a notorious felon on death row, convicted of a crime that shook the nation. Reeling from the fallout and shunned by her peers, all Ella wants is to fade into the background.


Max has little room for distractions, juggling responsibilities for a disabled father and a distant twin brother. But Ella's return reignites something within him. He wants to be close to her again, to understand her…and to turn their friendship into more.


But as their relationship blossoms, new tragedy strikes, and darkness threatens to tip their delicate balance. In order to find the light, they'll have to navigate the shadows.


And to catch the sun…they must first endure the flames.

Spoiler-free Review for Catch the Sun

Catch the SunCatch the Sun by Jennifer Hartmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jennifer Hartmann, what have you done to my heart? Catch the Sun was an epic journey of the heart and soul, a coming-of-age new adult romance that sucker-punched me in the feels and owned my heart.  Jennifer's writing was lyrical sunshine, and my heart basked in an ever-lasting orange glow as I turned each page.

Max and Ella's story was as heartbreaking as it was heartwarming, encapsulating every emotion in-between. This story was heartbreakingly beautiful and profoundly painful at times, drawing me in with its raw authenticity. I found myself highlighting so many lines — more than I have in a long time, captivated by Jennifer's evocative prose. Catch the Sun captures the sweet innocence of first love intertwined with catastrophic tragedy and complex family dynamics, making this book unforgettable.

Catch the Sun is undoubtedly one of my top reads of 2024 and might be my favorite book by Jennifer. It's a total Kindle Crack and an absolute must-read.

Tabitha Brighton's name made national headlines when she was kidnapped by the infamous serial killer known as the Matchmaker. She was also known for something else: being the only victim he ever willingly released.

Now, two years later, she's ready to tell her story.

Through a series of interviews with a local writer, single mother Tabitha relives every harrowing detail of her trauma, haunted by the memory of the man she was held captive with and ultimately lost. As she confronts her demons, she finds solace in Gabe--the new man in her life who will do whatever it takes to prevent her from slipping back into the shadows.

But Gabe has his own troubled past that threatens to unravel their fragile connection. And just when Tabitha begins to believe in the possibility of new love and a fresh start, her world is turned upside down once again.

Gabe always tells her not to look down, to keep flying. But even stars fall...

And no one ever talks about the crash.

** The Stars Are on Our Side is an interconnected standalone in the world of Still Beating and Lotus, featuring fan-favorite characters Tabitha and Gabe. It is HIGHLY recommended that you read both Still Beating and Lotus prior to reading this book for the most effective reading experience.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In The Stars Are On Our Side, Jennifer Hartmann seamlessly weaves a complex web of tragedy, heartbreak, and healing from the past to the present. Tabitha and Gabe’s story deals with the emotional aftermath of her kidnapping and their journey to a hard-earned HEA. This isn’t a butterflies and flowers romance. It’s tragic, painfully raw, and heartwrenching at times. I don’t want to say too much and spoil it for you. I would highly encourage you to read Still Beating and Lotus before reading this emotion-packed book. All three books are unputdownable and total Kindle Crack!
