Review: Reluctant Hearts by Karen Wiesner

"Karen Wiesner pens a novel that will stay with long after you have turned the last page with Reluctant Hearts."

Wendy Thomas has always wanted Paul Randall in her life, but Paul, who has seen so much, is sure he is not good enough for her. Their hearts though know the truth and they reluctantly fall in love only to have life deal them some strange circumstances. Paul is sure Wendy is his very o wn  angel while Wendy is not sure she can trust her own heart. Life deals them both some tragedy and heartbreak and maybe their love is the only way they can survive.

It is very hard to write a summary of Reluctant Hearts. There is so much in this one book that it defies an easy summary. Karen Wiesner has penned a tale filled with love, romance, coming of age, the shattering of dreams, and then picking up and moving on. The dreams we have as teenagers require us to assess them, and change them as we grow and mature. This shifting of reality is made more difficult when the people around us do not uphold our images of them. Wendy and Paul are so well developed that we feel their disappointments and their triumphs. We understand their motivations and they become our friends. Karen Wiesner has penned a tale that will capture your attention and ensnare your heart as you cheer for Wendy and Paul, and cry for them as well. Reluctant Hearts will not disappoint the reader as we engross ourselves in their wonderful story. Reluctant Hearts is highly recommended but be sure to have tissues near by.
