ILY

Deaf Hearts, Book 2

By: Cora Rose, E.M. Lindsey

Narrated by: Nathan Kelly

Whoever convinced me that quitting my job as an interpreter to take over my dead aunt’s farm should be covered in honey and left for the ants.

Oh wait…that was me.

I was burnt out and ready for a change, but I didn’t expect what came with it.

An orchard full of fruit I’m allergic to.
A bunch of farm equipment I don’t know how to use.
And a vindictive, vicious groundhog who has made it his life’s mission to drive me to the brink of madness.

But in my quest to find a permanent solution for Michael, I’ve also acquired something else I didn’t expect: a stalker.

I should be more concerned that the man offering to sell me TNT has followed me home, but Thorne is the most gorgeous thing I have ever laid eyes on, and we communicate well.

With our hands in ASL, yeah, but also with our lips, tongues, hips…and other parts of the body.

It’s also increasingly obvious that Thorne is much more than a stalker. With my focus on trying to stop Michael from using his little paws to dig my grave, though, it’s hard to worry about his secrets.

But skeletons never stay buried for long, and when everything comes to light, I can’t help but wonder if Thorne is the best thing that will ever happen to me, or the worst.

ILY is the second book in the Deaf Hearts series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. It’s a spicy, MM, strangers to lovers rom-com featuring a burnt out, not-quite farmer, a tall, dark, and handsome man with a mission and a secret, a groundhog that knows more than everyone else, and a toe-curling, feet-kicking happily ever after.

Nathan Kelly!

Nathan Kelly CRUSHED IT with this narration! He had me crying with laughter, and really brought both Leaf and Thorne to life!

So Good!

I love this series and the profomace is amazing. I couldn't wait for more and I love that E.M. Lesley and Cora Rose are writing together! I love them both alone but this series is 🔥! "Michele!!!!"

Outlandish

Excellent narration! amusing storyline that went into the absurd at times but still pretty entertaining.

Great Series

I really liked book 1 and was eagerly awaiting Leaf’s story. This was a nice blend of humor, mystery, and romance. The drama is minimal which is refreshing and Leaf and Thorne were a delight. Michael the ground hog gets props as a key supporting character. Teachable moments about ASL and deaf culture are both interesting and appreciated. Really looking forward to Dex next (book 3).

So funny!

Surprisingly funny and very sweet. I love the continued deep dive into deaf culture. It really has helped me realize just how little I know, and how everyone in the hearing community could do a much better job!
