A Talanted Blend of Romance, Mystery and Life

The author demonstrates an unusual and fascinating ability to blend all the right ingredients into this novel. Her imagination mixes the believable with the unbelievable in a way that keeps the readers unwaivering interest. My minds eye had no trouble picturing and knowing the characters, Jenna, Paul and Mitch because this new young author has a profound talent for using words.

Terrific otherworldly romance

For two years, Jenna Elliot waited for a heart to be found to replace her own defective organ. When Dr, Sharidon called to tell her a donor was found, Jenna worried about her missing spouse Paul, who had not returned home from a house-hunting trip. Later on, Jenna learned that Paul died in a car accident and his heart was now beating inside her chest. Jenna misses her beloved, but begins to feel and crave his delights. She also begins to hear things deep inside her head. The latest message is for her to travel to Ponee, Texas, which she does. In Ponee, Jenna meets Paul's twin brother Mitch and a host of lies about her deceased spouse's history. As Mitch and Jenna fall in love, propelled by Paul's heart, he still wonders if she wants his heritage and if she can shed light on the murder of his parents.

However, Ms. Wainscott shows her awesome abilities when she provides insight into the heart of what made Paul tick.
