Heart Failure

By: Chris Zett

Narrated by: Lori Prince

Length: 10 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's summary

An enemies-to-lovers lesbian romance about daring to open your heart.

Dr. Jess Riley's life is perfect, ticking all the boxes - successful cardiologist, newborn daughter, and a luxurious condo. That is, until she suddenly collapses from acute heart failure. Her entire world crumples along with her exhausted body.

Jess is forced to face facts - she can't keep working endless hours, and she'll have to move back home to recover.

To her shock, her mother has already taken in Lena Walker, a struggling artist who isn't a stranger to heartbreak either.

At first, an unimpressed Jess resents Lena's cheerful presence. Gradually, though, the two women form a tentative friendship over tai chi, picking fruit, and evening walks with the baby. A sexy massage leads to friends-with-benefits fun. But is it all too soon? Should two barely mended souls try to risk a future together?

Contains mature themes.

love when you least expect it

This was a true love story about finding love and understanding what one really loves and wants from live. Sometimes, it's okay to take a break from your career to continue to live the life you really want. One or two spicy scenes, but the character development was amazing.

Loved this book

This is a perfect follow up of Irregular Heartbeat. Loved the characters and story line of both books. Wish there was more on audible from this author. Narrator was excellent also.

Wow so good!

This was such a great medical romance from Chris Zett. A little medical drama, a thawing ice-queen, and great chemistry between MC’s. Plus the narration from Lori Prince is just wonderful.

I loved it

It was slow and then it started out on trusting each other and it was comical but still riveting at times and we'll worth a listen. i wish they could done maybe 1 more chapter,but it was ok

Romance , and learning to trust.

I wanted to read this for a long time. I love strong female doctor roles...who doesn't? This wasn't what I expected. It was slow to get into and a lot of disecting thoughts and each other. Things in real life that...well we do. But at times I felt it was long winded. Even with that it was very good and sweet. It was a slow burn but it needed to be. I didn't sigh at the end but I was very glad I read it.

Keeper

Another great story by Chris Zett that has the perfect balance of a slow budding attraction with sweet yet honest moments that morph into steamy love between 2 likable characters. Worth a credit to add to my library permanently.

Imperfect, real MC's and a wonderful story

I got sucked in and got submerged into these characte's lives and struggles. Found myself cheering for them, getting angry at them and laughing with them. Loved it and didn't want the story to end. Well written with a lovely rythum and sharp witty dialogue. Highly recommended!

Wonderful story, well-told.

I put off finishing this book because I didn’t want it to end. It's a good one.

Melting

Jess, a top cardiologist is a woman with a plan but sometimes the best laid plans take us to where we really need to be. Complications from her pregnancy and subsequent birth find her living with her mother and she's not too happy about her circumstances, especially when her anticipated cottage is spoken for. Lena has finally found a place to land that is her sanctuary, until Jess arrives. While we never get to see why Jess carries her rock hard exterior, there is a lot of character development around Lena. Supporting characters from a previous book, along with Jess' mom and the presence of her daughter make this a lovely listen that is a good story with a little therapy built in. Completely enjoyable with some interesting medical pieces and some tai chi/massage/and preserve making added into the mix. For a lesbian romance, it doesn't disappoint.

An awesome story!

From the beginning I was hooked and couldn't stop listening. Would recommend this book for sure,
