A Thousand Heartbeats

#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Selection series Kiera Cass is back with her most epic novel yet—a sweeping enemies-to-lovers standalone romance.

“Love has a sound. It sounds like a thousand heartbeats happening at the same time.”

Princess Annika has lived a life of comfort—but no amount of luxuries can change the fact that her life isn’t her own to control. The king, once her loving father, has gone cold, and Annika will soon be forced into a loveless marriage for political gain.

Miles away, small comforts are few and far between for Lennox. He has devoted his life to the Dahrainian army, hoping to one day help them reclaim the throne that was stolen from them. For Lennox, the idea of love is merely a distraction—nothing will stand in the way of fighting for his people.

But when love, against all odds, finds them both, they are bound by its call. They can’t possibly be together—but the irresistible thrum of a thousand heartbeats won’t let them stay apart.

Kiera Cass brings her signature sparkling romance to this beautiful story of star-crossed lovers and long-held secrets.

Emotionally Invested!

I couldn't have loved this fantasy romance more!! It's daring, dashing, and so very dreamy. This clean young adult novel feel made me fall even more in love with it. The imagery and dialogue were absolutely swoony.

How can two opposites who have so much against them learn to see each other as they are and not as they've been told to? The past hasn't been kind to either one. And while the future is uncertain, it's an endless possibility that they both grab ahold of.

Watching these star-crossed lovers choose duty before all else is bittersweet, and when their stars finally align, it's beautiful to behold and so very magical!

This was everything my heart needed and so much more! Every single time the title made an appearance, I was positively giddy. The ending left my weepy, and I want to reread this at least a thousand times more.

Could stop listening

I wish more than anything this book didn’t have to end!! What a great book. Definitely 5 stars!

Endearing Love Story

Annika and Lennox’s story will captivate you in the best possible way. Such good story telling by the change in voices to match characters. I will definitely be listening/reading again!

Loved the story!

I loved the story with its twists and turns. The narration was good until the male reader tried his best for a female voice and the female reader for a male voice. A bit
cringey at times.

Excellent book

This was a great book. A little but predictable but nonetheless very enjoyable to listen to.
