Rachel Blaufeld sets hearts on fire as she brings forth a sexy, heart wrenching, emotional second chance love story in her latest release, Heart Stronger. With her vivid and raw prose, Blaufeld tells a story that captures our soul as she takes readers on an emotional journey of healing, self-discovery, and love. They say life is a story and we write the chapters. And in this novel, Blaufeld captures our hearts one chapter at a time.

The older woman/ younger man trope can either be a hit or miss with romance readers but Blaufeld captures the essence and meaning of love. The raw connection between the characters were palpable from the start. As a reader, you yearned for these characters to get their happily ever after and for Claire and Aiken, their story brought a new understanding on patience and healing. Claire is broken and rightfully so since she knew what it is like to have her life ripped apart. Her life has become predictable with the same routines. And so when she meets her younger neighbor, Aiken, he awakens something inside her. So will be Aiken be able to heal Claire and her broken spirit and make her heart stronger?
Heart Stronger is a story that can resonate to every woman whoever felt hopeless and undeserving of love. Most importantly, this is a story and testament of strength, survival, hope,peace and love. So if you are looking for an emotional and yet profoundly beautiful love story then I highly recommend you to read this book. Blaufeld will mesmerize you with her thoughtful prose and charismatic characters.
