Reviews

[Canadian Girl Book Blog]

Intercepted Hearts is a quick read about hopes and dreams that have been put aside, reborn and conquered and also about family. The novel is told in the alternating first-person point of view of Hudson and Natalie. I was grateful to receive an arc of this novel in exchange for my honest review of the book.

Hudson is the starting quarterback for the New York Kings and has just punched his ticket to the Super Bowl. With confidence and determination, he is focused on trying to win the big game. That is until the new cheerleader shows up and catches his eye.

Natalie has a lot on her shoulders that she needs to focus on the here and now and not get distracted but when the star player on the team has his sights on her she has to decide between following her dream or following her heart.

This was my first novel by Mika Jolie and will not be my last. She was able to tell the whole story in the short novel and it did not feel rushed or that anything was missing from the story. I can not wait to see where she goes from this novel to develop the stories of some of the side characters.

Intercepted Hearts by Mika Jolie was a short, sweet and spicy read. For a short story, it sure packed a lot of punch. It is a story of lost dreams and hope for a better future. It also highlighted the love of family.

This book gave me all the feels. Filled with pain, joy, and love, the story pulled me and I had no choice but to empathize with the characters. I wanted what was best for them and I hoped they could move past their fears and seize their chance at happiness.

I admired Natalie. She was a strong, determined, and caring individual. She has a lot dealing with leaving her no time for love, especially with a pro footballer.

Hudson Baldwin is the quarterback for the New York Kings. A rising star whose biggest dream was to play in the Superbowl. I loved his confidence in his abilities and his humility in the face of all the fame.
They were instantly attracted to each other, but Natalie’s fears proved a hindrance to their budding relationship. However, I am happy to report that it all worked out.

Recommendation / Conclusion
Intercepted Hearts took me on a journey that tugged on my heartstrings and had me smiling from ear to ear.

I recommend this to sports romance readers. I am looking forward to reading River’s story (Hudson’s twin brother)
