Between The Pages - A Heart Restrained

A Heart Restrained 
Jennifer Wilck 
March 2023 

Caleb Zeno, a wealthy and successful media mogul, refuses to allow emotions into any aspect of his life, especially his entertainment corporation. When his company’s lifestyle website runs into competition from a small boutique company, the most logical solution is to buy out his rival. 

Fiona Hamilton’s lifestyle website succeeds due to her loving and caring treatment of her clients, who have become like family to her. She has no desire to sell to anyone, much less a tattooed, muscled, automaton. 

At odds professionally, Caleb and Fiona come together as a favor for Caleb’s sister. Sparks fly and sexual chemistry abounds. But Caleb can't let go of his abusive past and be the man Fiona needs, and she is unwilling to risk independence and financial security for anything less than a perfect happily ever after. Can they put their differences aside to find a viral kind of love? 

Between The Pages 
This book was such a good read. The plot was solid and filled with a heavy punch of emotion. Caleb struggles with his father’s abusive impact on their family, which created a hero whom readers want to see happy. Fiona is a strong lead and brings colour to Caleb’s life. Their chemistry sparks the moment they meet. The dialogue is fun and moves the story at a smooth pace. This is the third book in the Scarred Hearts series, and while I would have liked to have read the first two before this one, Caleb and Fiona stood well on their own. However, I enjoyed this book so much, I now want to read about Caleb’s friends, Simon and Ted, and I hope there will be another installment with Alex.
