What happens when something you were not looking for comes along, and it's more than you ever could have imagined?
Changing you.
How do you live with yourself when you look in the mirror and don’t recognize the broken reflection staring back? Because it makes you do things that you never expected you were capable of.
Will a heart that's been torn in two pieces keep on beating? I'm about to find out.
Love Divided. The decision should be easy... It isn't.

Dance with me.
Three
simple words, demanding, challenging…tempting.

Closing my
eyes, clearing my thoughts, I push the demons down, ignoring the temptation
that screams for me to run toward it instead of fighting against it. Those
inner demons, creating a battlefield, dividing the heart.

always like this. There was a time when I was searching for something more.
Anything that would give me a reason to care. Someone to tell me they wanted

No he didn’t? I swing around ready to give this guy my best

throwing me off balance.

I nod back to Aubrey, who looks like she doesn’t have a care in the world, but
I know different. This is her first weekend without her daughter, Reece, since
she and her ex-husband got a divorce.

“Yeah. Oh.”
He smirks before he pulls me in tighter, and I can feel every single ridge of
muscle hidden behind his suit and tie. “Just feel it. Feel us.” He begins to
rock back and forth. Too slow for the music, but it’s a rhythm that promises
more.

Raising a

He is a

“But
first…” His eyes leave mine, scanning the crowd before he spins me around and
slams my back against the metal wall. My back arches away from the cold and
settles into the warmth of his arms as his mouth comes crashing down on mine.

Author Bio
Cary Hart hails from the Midwest. A sassy, coffee drinking, sometimes sailor swearing (Shhh… don’t tell.), wine sipping, Spotify addict, lover of all things books!
When not pushing women down the stairs in the fictional world, Cary has her hands full.
She is blessed to be the sports mom of two wild and crazy, spoiled kiddos, and wife to the most supportive husband (took a few years to train). In addition to working full time, she bakes cookies on the side to fund her newly found love of writing and to keep her Sephora VIB Rouge status. The addiction is real, folks!
Believe it or not, writing was never a dream for Cary. Reading was something she never enjoyed growing up. All it took was one friend, who went MIA for a weekend on a book binge, to share her passion and loan an ebook, lighting a fire inside her. Two years, and hundreds of ebooks later, she connected with one of her favorite authors, who patiently listened to her plot ideas. Her encouragement and saying those three little words “You write it!” changed everything!
So, welcome! Hop on board, and enjoy the ride!

I
was so excited for book 2 in the Battlefield of Love Series! I just
LOVED Love War so I was thrilled with the prospect of another series
cover some of my new favorite people. However, even though this is a
series, you can totally read it as a standalone. You might see snippets
of couples from other books but it won’t really hurt THIS story. Anyway,
I’d recommend you read them in order… you get the whole saga which
creates a family feel that you won’t have otherwise.
This is my second Cary Hart book and I just love her writing. Her books pull you into the world and you feel like you’re a part of it, like you are all friends there. Gavin and Niki have a wonderful story. It’s the day old problem of two best friends falling in love with each other but they are both too scared to ruin what they have to act on it. They never take into consideration what they could have beyond that. Hart gives us that.
This romance is beautiful! The characters so relatable, so incredible! Gavin was an amazing character, no reader will be able to walk away from this book with their metaphorical heart! Niki was great, a bit confused for a while but don’t we all go through that. I totally thought I had this book mapped out in my head but Hart tossed in some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. Once I hit 60% of this story I couldn’t help but devour it… word-for-word… I consumed it! Love it… totally not divided on that!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
